 Dominating the whole scheme is the colossal Tower of Jewels. 435 feet high, set in the central Court of the Universe, whose Corinthian columns are taller than those of Saint Peters at Rome. Each column is surmount- ed by the figure of star, whose head dress is covered with jewels and from the tower itself depend S0,0o0 sparklets in all co1ors, which flash in the sun and scintilate at night when the searchlights illuminate the the court
 The site and plan of the exposition have made it the most compact ever built. It occupies 635 acres, of which 50 have been devoted to horticultural display. Liberal use of palms, shrub bery, vines and trees has been made to relieve and diversity the long fa- cades of the exhibit palaces. At the far ends of the grounds are the ath- 1etic field and race track: at the near end lies the zone, in which are grouped the amusement concessions.
 Conceived to celebrate the opening Of the Panama Canal. the idea of the exposition had it's inception in 1904. The great fire of 1906, in which San Francisco practically was de- stroyed, only delayed plans for its embodiment The authorization of the state legislature, together with an appropriation of $5.0oo,00o was ob- tained and, in April, 1910. $4,0S9,0 900 was raised by private subscription in two hours. President Taft signed the exposition act October 4, 1911.
 In work done by the exposition conn pany, the nations, states and territories participating and the concessionaires admitted, an investment of $80,0O0, 900 is represented Exhibits on display probably will bring the total of capi- tai temporarily tied up within the grounds to s300,00O.ooO or more. Only one exposition building is permanent. The city and the expo sition jointly built as part of the city 8 new civic center, still in process of construction, a $2,0oo.000 auditorium, in which are to be held the 400 con gresses and conventions which will give the exposition such an import ant educational aspect. After the ex- position closes, the auditorium will pass into the keeping of the city Tn the field of sports, the nation will be represented as widely as in any other of its interests.
 Yachting cups have been given by President Wilson, King George, of many, and Sir Thomas Lipton-
 There are to be important golf and polo matches.
 There is to be a motor boat race from New York to San Francisco through the Panama Canal. IA ross-continent aeroplane race Is under consideration.

Albert Ballin. who was reported last month to have been placed in charge of the entire railway system of Germany and the delivery of food and nunitions of war to the kaiser's. army has long been famous in trans poxtatton circles as the director gen. eraf Of the Hamburg American steamship lines. Ba1lln is honored by Germans as the founder of the mod <Fn mercantile marine Of the empire, and he has long been an unomcia1 a9Ttser to the emperor. On several occasions Wilhelm has sought to i'm duce the great Hamburg Shipping raagnate to accept 8 place in the cab- fnet, but Ballin had ministerial a4nbataons, and always refused. Faestler would he accept a title nor other honors from his imperial mas ter. although urged to take seat in inc Prussian House of Peers. Plain Hsrr BaIIin he was, and plain Herr BalIfn he would remain. he told the kafser, and he would not even ac- ceut a won prefix to his name. Herr Ba11fn has often been described as
