ceive the exhibits by December.
The Palace of Horticulture, which is
being constructed almost entirely OF
glass with a dome $50 feet high and
100 feet in diameter, has its frame Ia
place, and the setting Of the crystal
facades will soon commence.
Wonderful Tropical Gardens.
The greatest progress has been made
in the construction of the gardens
however. When it is considered that
but a little more than a year ago the
site of the Exposition was impossible
from the viewpoint of a landscape gar
dener, being composed of sand and salt,
the wonderful tropical gardens which
exist at present seem remarkable.
Millions of cubic yards Of sand were
pumped from the bay on to the site
and upon this base 10000 cubic yards
of rich soil was spread. Twenty-Five
thousand of these yards were dredged
from the Sacramento river bed at a
point seventy miles distant
Many millions of rare plants and
trees and shrubs were collected by ex-
pert gardeners from all parts Oh the
world and brought to the Exposition
where they were planted in nurseries.
lath houses and greenhouses. later to
be transplanted on the site proper
Two hundred of the palms which
are now growing cost more than 800
each. Trees were brought from India,
Africa, Australia, Central and South
America and the Philippine Islands
Many of these were hundreds of years
old and a special system had to be de-
vised to successfully transplant them
The Exposition, as whole, has been
treated as if it were in reality a huge
stage, with the palaces and trees and
flowers mere pieces of painted scenery

Exposition will not be celebrated until
Feb. 20, 1915, the Exposition is now
more than half completed and every
detail will be perfected before Deem
Der of this year. 1t is absolutely GER
tain that there will be no unfinished part
of the Exposition on the opening day.
An army of 1000 men is working on
the palaces and of the eleven main
buildings nine are more than so per
cent completed.
Reachey Flew Through Ii.
The Palace of Machinery, the largest
wooden building ever erected, was
completed on Jan. l, just one year aft
er the construction work had been
started. 1t was in this immense struc-
ture that Lincoln Beachey successfully
made his aeroplane flight, the 967 feet
length of the central aisle, at a speed
of seventy miles an hour, establishing
record for the first indoor aeroplane
flight ever attempted. The compost
ton of the palace is classic, the Rom
an predominating, with a touch of the
Greek refining influence plainly shown
and the treatment is somewhat modern

from the scintillator will cause the
gigantic shapes to assume form, waiver

presenting a weird and beautiful effect.
The Tower of Jewels.
To augment the effect of an actual
fairyland, hundreds Of thousands of
'sjewels" will be suspended from the
important architectural points of the
palaces. and upon these the rays from
200 minor searchlights will constantly
play. The jewels are handmade and

LEPER IN CITY HOSPITAL
UNDER GUARD: IS WORSE

K. Takuda, the japanese leper
discovered in the Tacoma Private
sanitarium, was removed in an
automobile to the city contagious
disease hospital at 8 o'clock last
night by Quarantine Officer Joe
German, and placed in a tent un-
der guard of two special police
officers. Today Health officer
II. A. Wall certified to the gov
eminent that the japanese is
suffering from tubercular Ieprosy
in its incipient form, and the
government immigration men are
making arrangements to deport
the leper to Japan. II will take
about two weeks to unwind the
governments red tape. and in
the meantime Takuda will be in
charge of the city.
Health OFFICER Wall was sub
jected to criticism by DIR. s. l..
Blair, president of the sanitar-
ium. today because he kept the
leper at the sanitaFium under
guard. The health officer as

IL Is an unofficial club fos-
tered by the Denver Post, a promf-

work done by IL here.
All members of the Denver club
