work textiles, figurines in costume, pottery, in fine, everything 
exhibited should find place in a permanent museum. The Mexi- 
can commission and government deserve the highest commenda- 
tion for this interesting feature of the exposition. Even their 
musical exhibit in the celebrated band contained such instruments 
as the bandolon, salteria and timpanis, new to almost every 
visitor. 
The Central American States of Guatemala, Honduras and 
Salvador also contains many objects of interest to the student 
of primitive culture, showing the continuance old Maya cus- 
toms. 
A great part of the Japanese exhibit is devoted to education in 
that country, and is designed to show not only the method of 
adopting new ideas, but the old customs are also set forth in 
quaint apparatus of older types. . Quite a number of very primi- 
tive devices are also among the newer ones, lighting them up 
with excellent effect. 
The Chinese department is devoted to showing the cotton in- 
dustry in that conservative country. It is excellent. Here upon 
a series of wall screens is painted the whole operation from the 
planting to the wearing out. Around the space you see first a 
man ginning cotton with a little wooden thing that looks like a 
rude clothes wringer. Just beyond another is whipping it with a 
bowstring, and from point to point you are led by a series of dum- 
mies until the whole process is before you. 
Of the vast arena for flying wheels and nice adjustments of 
machinery, the culmination of all those primitive arts which it is 
the delight of the anthropologist to trace, we have not space to 
say more than that its rythmic pulsations seem to beat time to 
the great song of human progress. Man has built no prouder 
monument to his conquest of nature than this busy, varied, noisy 
scene.
