The palaces of varied indus- tries, machinery, manu- facture, mines and met- allurgy, education and electricity, liberal arts and transportation need little if anything to place them in readiness. The Colonnade of states has become a magnificent re ality, and immediately the Festival Hall, whose massive dome reaches skyward 200 ft. and is larger than any in the world. Behind the Col- onnade, clothed in ar- chitectural magnificence, is the permanent art building of white stone. One sees the lagoons completed and also the ways where great cascades will leap down the terrace. And in an equally advanced stage is the second picture, which has the giant Palace of Agriculture as its central figure, with the palaces of horticulture and forestry, fish and game as noble adjuncts.
