Nearly all the covering, irt imitation of Travertine marble, is in place and the instal lation of the sculptural decorations has been. commenced. A distinctive phase of the. Pana ma Pacific International Exposition that will set it apart from former great world's expositions will be its illumination. At night the exposi tion will be as bright and as lumi nous as if by day, the salient feature of the lighting is that there will be no dark shadows. Outline or sil houette lighting employed at other world's expositions will not be utili zed, but thiough indirect orr.efiect.ed lights all the details of the statuary and of the facades ol .the courts will appear with daylight value. In the lagoons perfect reflections of whole buildings will be seen. A spectacu lar leature of the' illumination will arise from batteries of searchlightfi moored in the harbor. Cut glass prisms set in tie recesses of the towers and adorning, the figures to surmount the colonnades encircling the Court of the Sun and Stars will reflect the shafts of masked batteries of searchlights set upon the roofs of the exhibit palaces Forest Notes.
