Cf the thirty-nine nations that accepted in vitations to participate in the Exposition, only four. are involved in the present struggle. Even if every nation involved in the war should withdraw, the Exposition would still surpass all precedent. But none of the rations concerned have sent notice of withdrawal at the time this article is written. ...

Japan asked for increased exhibit space. Since the war broke out the stimulus on exhibits has been extra ordinary. Manufacturers in the United States, Central and South America, the Orient and Canada have become impressed with the tremendous opportunity for bringing their goods to the Jttrtntian of the world's markets.

The most striking feature of the Palace is its great glass dome. The architects of the building turned mosque of St Sophia, the mother of most of the architectural inarvsi of the Levant. The details and o. l a ments of the many smaller rumd and trellis work give an eighteenth century Renaissance effect, the jnr.cr garden architecture being of te period of Louis XIV of France. The glass dome of the Palace of Horticulture is said by engineers to be the largest hemispherical dome in the world, being 185.5 feet in height and 152 feet in diameter. An idea of the magnitude of this dome may be had when it is compared with some of the most famous domes now in existence. The diameter of the Pantheon of Rome is M2 feet; that of the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore at Florence, 13'J feet; the United States Caoitol, Washington, D. C, 135 feet; while the famous dome of St Peurs at Rome is 133 feet in diameter.

The space between the two octagons of palms will be planted with tropical foliagefruits and flowers, while the interior of the palace will be deco rated with hundreds of climbing vines covering its walls and great interior columns.
