Summary: An actor portraying Mark Twain praises 1893 as a good time to be alive—cites contemporary artists and writers. He conducts a tour of Columbian Exposition exhibits of moving pictures (Edison's Kinetoscope), Tiffany lamps, and other new inventions, focusing on industrial ceramics (including a bathtub) and carborundum.

Reference to the Craft Museum (New York) in previous Medical Sciences Division's inventory. Its connection to the film is undetermined.
