work of art never elualed, even by a

cation. such Il one can obtain it here.
This is the university of the world.

feet of this Gamaliel of all expositions

who. us all know. is both blind and
deaf, having acquired the faculty Of
speech. although she has never heard
any one speak. said of her visit to the
Exposition that it was the most inspir-
ing period of her life Said DR.. Fred
erick J. V. Skiff: Here the world is
shown in eptome. The visitor from
whatever realm here enters into his ma
tive land"
Apart from its costly and compre-
hensive displays. the great Exposition
is an inspiration in itself In its archi-
tecturaI beauty the Panama Pacific In
ternational Exposition surpasSes any
of its predecessors. At night the great
Tower of Jewels .stands out satin

changing colors. as batteries of search
lights play upon this pyramidal monu-
mcnt. the loftiest structure at the Ex-
position and as tall as the average tlir-
ty-tive story city block. The coloring
of the Exposition. the decorative light

landscaping are all the work of the
