 President of the Exposition. 



attaching any profound meaning to it, namely, that there is nothing new 

 under the sun, and wliat we call new, in reality, embodies an old and 

 identical idea in a new garb. 



Connected with the Steinpa- 

 last by large halls is the " Hall 

 for Chemical Industry" and sci- 

 entific instruments. To the right 

 of the large " Festplatz " and 

 between it and the " Grosse Gar- 

 ten " and amidst a long row of fine 

 large linden trees, there runs along 

 an avenue, 40 meters wide, along 

 one of the sides of which foreign 

 nations have erected their pa- 

 vilions. China has erected a pa- 

 vilion in the form of a pagoda. 

 Austria has built a large-sized rec- 

 tangular structure with a massive 

 roof, high walls, large windows 

 and wide imposing entrances. 

 Eussia has erected a building after 

 designs made by a Eussian architect 

 and resembling in style some of 



the buildings seen in the Kremelin. Japan, likewise, has contributed a 

 rectangular structure, after a national design, simple but most effective 



in displaying the exhibits. Switz- 

 erland, has put up a building 

 characteristic of the Bervese Neth- 

 erlands, Spain, Italy, France, 

 Hungary and Amsterdam all have 

 erected pavilions in style of archi- 

 tecture exhibiting the national 

 characteristics in their design. 

 This "rue des nations" shows off 

 well at night when illuminated. 

 Passing out of the " rue des na- 

 tions" and around the end of the 

 botanical garden, we come in sight 

 of the several large halls, housing 

 life-saving devices, means for the 

 care of the sick and injured, traffic 

 on land and sea, appliances used in 

 the care of prisoners and the in- 

 sane, army, navy and colonial hygiene. A sylvan restaurant stands 

 at all hours ready to administer to the physical need of the visitor.
