The Franco British exhibition Is peculiarly Interest exhibits In these buildings which were quite unrivalled for their Individual beauty. None of us will readily forget the tanestrv rrom the Kscurlal. with its ex quisite entwining of gold and colors; the purity of Its design and the beauty or us conception.

It Is enough to bring tears to one's eyes to remember that the sides of those who gasea on this glass case snoog wun laughter at what was then considered a most extraordinary Joke. .' mad Is Subtle. What Is It that has made the differ ence? wny is mat tne mma or tne Perhaps the greatest contrast of all to be found In the exhibition Is in the machinery hall. It would be quite use less for an amateur to attempt to de scribe the marvels which are there ex- hlbited, marvels only too wen known to the Americana, who are largely au thors of these wonders. There Is an old man who still lives at the Crystal Palace, who was a young mechanic in tne days or me great ex hibition of 1861. and who will still tell vou that tne reaping macnine was al most the greatest wonder of that show.

As they walked iwr v the man asked who they were. and learned that one was Mr. Dickens and the other Mr. Horace Greeley.

Sunday school chlW Education has of course done some thing, but that Intangible thing which we call civilisation has done more, and taste In all directions has caused life to become far more Intricate and compli cated. Whether this Is an advantage, or not, I cannot say. but from the artistic point of view undoubtedly we have gained Immeasurably. Indeed It la almost difficult seriously to believe, as we look down the great aisle of the glass building, that this ever could have been considered the glory of a nation, and yet it was so on the day when Quern Victoria In the f.jli blase or a mia-oay sun openra it wiin the Prince Consort, dressed In a pink silk. gown, cut low on the shoulders, tn full evening dress. The simplicity of It all bring a smlieyo our races today, and almost a lump In our throata. Then f can vaguely remember the first great French exhibition where the In troduction of native villages and houses was first msde, and where trf little Japanese ladlea In their red hut were the wonoer ana aamimiion i nni.
