and one can only say that an exhibi-
ton is taking shape IN what may prove
to be record time. But in the grea
hall near WOODLAND entrance a piece
of richly wrought Oriental architecture
in an almost finished state gives ar
idea Of the surroundings In which the
visitor will find himself in the summer
Reproduction of Temple.
This is a massive and realistic repro
ductioH of the famous Temple Gate OF
Nara, Japans ancient capital, and its
sumptuOusness will later have a SOM
Der relief of dark cedars, with stone
lanterns set among them. Through this
gate visitors will pass to inspect the
twelve life-siZe tableaux illustrative OF
Japans two thousand five hundred
years of history.
The four seasons, as they appear in
Japan, will be represented by four large
natural tableaux, each of which will be
a miniature landscape through which
visitors viii be able to walk. There is
a Japanese house in one of the build
ings with the painting Of tree on one
of its walls so realistic that 1t looks as
though its leaves might be plucked.
In another building a large space is
to be devoted to the native pottery, and
such things as punch bowls, finger
bowls, flower vases, tea pots and serv-
ices, and incense burners of japanese
manufacture, and bearing fantastic
Oriental designs, viii be on view, while
elsewhere, in the japanese fair, the pot
tiers viii be seen at their work.
First-Born Inferiority.
The latest word on the subject of the
house of lor1s comes from Sir Francis
Cation, F. r. S., the distinguished
scientist. who has made heredfty a spe-
cial study.
Sir Francis points out that the prin-
ciples of primogeniture, by which the
first-bOrn sons succeed to their father S
places in the house of lords, is not in
accord with the principles of the
science of heredity.
THE claims of heredity would be best
satisfied, says Sir Francis, IF all the
sons Of peers were equally eligible to
the peerage, and a selection made
among them, late researches having
shown that the eldest born are, as a
rule, inferior in natural gifts to the
younger born in a small but significant
degree"
Some support to a similar theory was
given recently in a lecture on heredity
at Bedford college by Mrs. Wetham.
often we find that poets are the first
born of a family" she said. 1.-The men

Coming London Pageant.
Among. the many activities which go
to the making of the coming London
pageant at the Crystal Palace. that
concerned with the preparation of the
necessary armOr possesses exceptional
interest. To fit the whole pageant
10000 pieces or arms and armor viii be
required. and a small army of men are
now busily engaged preparing them.
The imitation armOr of today, COM
pared with that used by the knights
of the past, is, of course, very light
The heaviest pieces-that used in the
fitting scene-which in the original
would have weighed as much as los
pounds, will, in the pageant, weigh no
more than ones ordinary OvercOat and
clothes. The armOr is made extremely
thin, but massive appearance is OBJ
tanned by special process.
In the scene representing the Norman
conquest the pieces of armor in use
will total $500, and they have all been
carefully reproduced from the Bayeaux
tapestry.
Yet another addition to the man fold
attractions in connection with the fes-
tival is to be a historical COLLECTION OF
pictures representing great British bat
tie scenes.
"Social UpheavaI."
One of the most significant scenes in
the pageant of London, the central fig
ure of the Festival of the Empire. to
be held at the Crystal Palace this sum-
mer, VIII be that entitled Social Up
heaval." The death of Wat Tyled at
Smithfeld should be the OUTSTANDING
feature. In this scene will appear an
other and more popular figure, Dick
Wilmington" When the scene was
being framed the organizers received
an interesting communication from the
Earl of Coventry, advising them that
one OF the ancestors of the earl was
an executor Of the original Sir Rich
ard Wilmington. According to the Ie-
gend written round Wilmington, he
was seated in company with his ia
nous cat at the foot of Highgate hill.
when he heard the bells of Bow church
ring out, Turn again, Wilmington,

For the pageant Of London a special
peal of bells has been cast, as il viii
be necessary to use a peal in several
of the twenty-fOur scenes of the pa

Messrs. John Warner & Sons, SpitaI-

manager, Sir Roger witnessed the

making of the mOulds to the tuning of
the bells. The bells to be used in the
pageant will be hung subsequently, in
