 The exposition is magnifcently com plcte and completely magnificent with the dedication of :he great pier. The govern ment per iS the grca. centerpiece of ths Jamestown Expcsiticr. Its completion fiIs the great racdIa in the appearance of the show on Hampton Reads.
 The exsrclses were held just before dark on the srch of the r'ers, and just as thc government officials formally turned the property over to President Tucker. of the exposition, the thousands of electric lights, covering the pier and the exposition buildings were turned on, and amidst the music of many bands, the screaming of whistles in She harbcr and the blazing of fireworks.

To chnplete the plans over 3.5OO. 900 feet of lumber, for either per manent or temporary use. was required. The pier is doutle one. enclosing an enormous water basin of .2S0.000 square feet. but its most exceptional feature IS lJ0-foot reinforced concrete arch at the outer end. Th;s arch, placed on e mud bottom relying ent.:ely uopn the hearins powers of the piles driven for its abut- ments, was the principal engineering fea- ture of the whole work, as it is the lonccs; single span bridge C: the kind n this country. measuring exactly l5l feet and , inches from spring line to spring lina. In order 70 place this arch, over a00 ?iles were driven in each abutment and tn, concrete placed nine feet below the water line in two large cofier dams
 Fourteen different pile-driving machines were used in the pie driving, as high as ten being used at the same time. Nine dredges. seven tugs and twelve scows, all

 In operating and handling the nater;ai for this gigantic undertaking three loeomo- tives were used, two narrow su'se fna one standard guase. Over two and a haii miles of track were lain tO connect ihe various parts of thc work with tie exDosi- tion compeny's tracks
 In handling the concrete two separate and distinct concrete plants were bui''. enc cn the slOrc .or the fcar sea walls '-nd the onter end enG the other for he arch, situated on temporary trestle alongside
 One of the hardest obstacles Tn complet- ing the pier was found to Le dredging. The bottom, instead of being sandy, as shown on ,he drawings Ri the original plans, proved to he a combination Ot clay, sand, sandstone. etc. with a large amount ot cobblestones and small boulders, which de- fled the best efforts of anything but the largest dredees.
 But now it is complete and in all Amer lea there IS no sight mere grand, more magnificent, more inspiring than this, the elimination of architectural beauty en- hanced by an illumination more entrancing than ever before graeed the court of honor of an exposition. Yes, it stands complete, and it is worth waiting fer, even years in- stead of months A journey of thousand, yea, many thousands of mics, would be . pleasure with this as the goal
 By day the view from the dome of tho mammoth arch is sublime. High above she waters of Hampton Roads, the perspective includes the vessels of every kind and cline as they come and %, the historic Fort Monroe beyond and the men-of war lying at peaceful anchor Turning the gaze landward the view taxes the grand plaza, the beautiful buildings and grounds of the colonial city, but 1t is at night that the grandeur of the handiwoEk of1nan becomes apparent.

 Itis known that the government paid about two cents an acre for the territory, but it Is not generally known that the United States has received nearly Sll,c0o.- 600 in reyenus frcm Alaska in the past thirty-nine years. In addition Alaska has produced sl25.0o0.O0J in gold, Ss0, ,Oo0, coo in furs and Ss6,cOO.OOD in fish, and the wealth of the country mas only been scratched on the surface.
 In this case are the four warrants of S5,0o0Oc0 in payment of the Philippine Islands and are drawn in the name of Jules Cambon, the French am5aszddor,rep- resenting the government cf Spain. These warrants also show the endorsements of Mir Cambon.
 The S4O,O0O0O0 paid to the French com pany who had already worked part of the Panama canal, and drawn in the r2ne of J. Picrpont Morgan & Co, as their finan cial representative, Is also shown. The two warrants, one for Sl,0O0,OO0 and one for S9,o00,O ,O00, paid to the republic of Panama for the purchase of the canal zone tkrcush J. Pierpont Morgan Is shown here also.
 All cf the above warrants and checks are the original papers in each instance and are priceless relics to the United States government.
 Visitors may have these warrants and checks explained to them Tn detail by ap- plying to any of the attendants in the Treasury Department space.

Nearly one hundred and twenty six years have gone since Cornwallis sur rendered to the allied armies of France and America at Yorktown. Pa. sand in keeping with the s...tIvauve Ine e.SLs. a great cele- bration will be held T: the Jamestown Ex- position on October l9, tie anniversary of the date. The celebration will be under the auspices of ;he exposition du- thorities, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association and the descendants of the signers of the Declaration cf Independence
 This will be one of the last historical days, the ceremonies of winch have attract. ed such wide attention. Representatives of the original thirteen States will meet in the Auditorium, and after the formal cere- monies of the day VII organize d new so- ciety, which will be known as ''.I -.e Society of the Descendants of the Declaration of Independence.
 Senator r. C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Senator John W. Deniel, of Virginia will be among the orators of the occasion. The idea of randing together in a society the descendants of the signers of the declaration originated with William Shields McKean, temporary president of the proposed organization. Mir. McKean has made tour of the thirteen States. and has succeeded in interesting a large num- Der Of eligible memDcIs
 No effort will be made according to the present arrangement of the program to organize State societies. One national en- ciety will be maintained, with headouarters probably in Washington, D. c. The by laws will provide for the observance of all holidays growing ou: of the revolutionary war, and also for the proper decorations of .he hattlefelds and the graves of patriotic beroes
 For long time it las been the con- tention of many members of the existing hereditary societies that there IS disposi- ton to skght the acts performed by civil officers in favor of the more spectacular deeds done by the army and navy
 At the Philadelphia congress of the Sons of the American Revolution, held in 1905 1t remained for a delegate from the dis trict of Columbia to pcint out that the grave of John Morton, a delegate to the Continental congress, and one who gave the casting vote of Pennsylvania for the Declaration of independence was neglect ed and unmarked.
 The celebration of Yorktown day at the exposition IS peculiarly appropriate with the towering shaft erected on the field of surrender by a grateful government, al most in view from the exposition grounds, and with the historic features and exhibits of the celebration all IT. accord and con tributary to the success and interest of such an event.
 Millions of Americans thrill with patriot ic fervor at the mention of Torktcwn and a celebration of this kind, affording as it will as a side trip opportunity to walk the street of this quaint old town. to see its historic buildings its grand monuments, th. battlefield the ruins of the famous redoubts and hear the story of the great surrender from the lips of those whp heard 1t first hand from the brave participants tn that glorious event.

Historic
 Yorktown Place Where Memorable Surrender of British Power to Washington and Lafayette Took Place.

If Yorktown were not one of the 5 of Americans it would still be
 voIthy o- v'slr. -o- II IS q'iaInJ. CcaHri- ful and untouched by the ulsarizing hand of progress. Ju: aside from this every inch of the old sat teens with historic interest and days Ray be well spent n and about tine quaint old village.
 Yorktown Is memorable in American history as being the spot where, on the 18th of October, l7Sl. the army of Corn wallis surrendered 10 the combined armies of America and France Tie first night the American army reposed after. the in- vestment of Yorktown, Washington slept 1 in the ope,, GIT under a mulberry tree, the roots forming his pillow. Cornwalis' headquarters were originally in the fine brick house belonging to Secretary Nelson. He remained there til a servant was killed and the building much injured by the American artillery, when he moved into the town.
 | Just beyond the nationa! cemc,ery is a handsome monument marking the spot where Cornwalis surrendered. This monu- ment was erected by Captain Shaw, the keeper of the cemetery, at his own ex- pense.
 The place of surrender was about half a mile from the eastern limits of the town, on the south side of the road to Hampton.
 The Moore house on Temple farm is yet standing on the bank of the river about mile below Yorktown. It is memorable as being the dwelling where the articles of equalization were signed by Cornwallis. 1 The Swan tavern in this town is said to be the oldest in Virginia. On the banks of the river stands the ruins of an old church which was built about two hun dred years ago. It was destroyed by the great fire in 1874. The old bell bears the inscription, County of York, Virginia. 1925" The old custom house IS sno.her landmark famous for it antiquity
 The beautiful monument at Io Stowr was erected by the United States govern ment to commemorate the surrender.
 The Nelson mansion is a large two story brick building, fronting on the river, on the man street of the town. In the War of the Revolution it was the resi- dence of Governor Thomas Nelson, by whose father, the Honorable Thomas Nel- son, it was erected. During the siege ot orktown the house was bombarded by the American army and now bears the marks of cannon shot. Governor Nelson, then in W'Gshingtons army. had com mand of the first battery which opened upnn the town. Rightly supposiag II was occupied by some of the British 1Iticers, lie pointed the first gun against his own dwelling and offered q reward to the sol diers of five guineas for every bombshell that should be fired into 1t.
 About a mile and half below York town, on what is called the Temple farm, is the site of an ancien. settlement. Near by are the vestiges, of an ancient temple, which was formerly surrounded by wall, probably intended as a means of defense against the Indians Within the enclosure are several defaced and broken monu- ments.

John &. Watson, professor of psychol-
ogy in the University of Chicago, has
Just returned from the Dry Tortugas
Islands, off the lower coast of Florida,
where he carried on Investigations at the
Andrew Carnegie station. He says that
he has found that the sea gulls have a
language of their own which can be imi-
tated by a human being. He finds that
they live in family groups in houses con-
sciously built for their purpose, and he
believes that they have politics in their
governmental affairs. For several months
Prof. Watson has lived in hut of boughs
on these tropical islands, tanning the great
ocean birds and getting close to them.
He thinks that these birds converse with
each other by means of the volume, tone
and duration Of their vocal sounds.
