Salvage of the Exposition.

The total net salvage of the exposition
company foots up about s2,700,000. This
represents all that is left of about 5000
O0O expended for exposition purposes, and
includes an art gallery worth about mil
lion dollars, q collection of sculpture valued
at 0O0O. museum material, 100000, and
cash. 100000. There will be about $4,000
to divide between the government the city
and the stockholders.
The art building, a permanent structure
of stone and steel will be inherited by the
city and used for a permanent exhibition
of paintings, sculpture and architectural
models. Prof. Halsey c. Ives, chief of the
art department and director Of the st.
Louis School of Fine Arts has already oc
cupied it with collection of sculpture that
is claimed to be the best that was ever
produced in America The models of the
sculpture. on the grounds, which cost $3.50,
900, and are worth a great deal more have
been preserved and will be of perpetual
value for art students. 1t goes to the city.
The city also gets the monument of St
Louis the king which stood In the center
of the grounds and was the most impos-
ing of all the decorative features. 1t is now
being cast in bronze at Chicago and will be
placed in front of the art gallery, splen-
did figure forty feet high and the largest
equestrian statue in the world.
The city of ST. Louis also gets an enor-
nous collection of museum material pre-
scented by and purchased from foreign, state
and other exhibitors, which Prof. w Nc
Gee-of Washington, recently Of the Smith
sonian Institution, has installed In one Of
the wings of the art building as a temper
airy shelter. 1t is proposed to make it the
nucleus of an institution like the Field Co.
lumbar Museum of Chicago, which oTigi-
mated the same way. I VIII tell YOU more
of that in another letter.
Tho city also gets a complete system of
water service covering Forest Park, which
will be of permanent value. In addition to
the ordinary supply the insurance COM
panies required the exposition people to put
in an extra high-pressure service all over
the grounds with an entirely separate set
of pipes. connected with pumps affording o
pressure of $50 pounds This was claimed
by the wreeking company that bought the
buildings. The original ordinance under
which Forest Park was loaned for the expo
sition stipulated that the city should inherit
all water pipes, sewers and underground
work that could be utilized. but the Chicago
House-wrecking Company, which paid
$500 for the salvage, claiming that the
high-pressure system did not come within
that description, went into court and got an
injunction to restrain the city officials from
interfering when they took 1t UP. They
have shipped it away and are believed to
have sold 1t. but arc under a $4,000 bond
to indemnify the city for It's value in case

Valuable Scientific Reports.

The reports of the scientific congresses at
st. Louis, which will fill eight Volumes
were edited by Howard j. Rogers of AL
bany, chief of the department of educa-
ton, and are being printed at the expense
OF the exposition company. The first VOL
ume will be out early in January and the
rest will follow after a short interval 1t
will be an extremely valuable collection
of public addresses and reports upon
large variety of subjects.
Secretary Stevens tells me that there is
great demand for information concerning
exposition organization and management.
He has frequent requests from all parts
of the world for copies for rules, regula-
lions, classfcations. contracts, exhibitors
applications, and other features of organic
alton and information that may be util-
lied by those who are planning future ex-
positions There are several eXpositions in
sight now, at jamestown, Va; Topeka, At
lanta, Chattanooga, San Francisco and in
Australia and Japan. Mr.. Stevens has
made collection OF exposition literature
covering all that have been held since
that of the Crystal Palace In London in
1851, and has preserved duplicate copies
of all printed matter of whatever source
that has been issued by any of the de-
partments of the Louisiana purchase expo
sition This makes a complete file which
will be preserved for the use of whom 1t
may concern in the new museum that Is to
be established in the art building here.
There is a similar collection in the John
Crerar library at Chicago.
