CHAPTER XIII.
The Japan exhibit is on a beautiful hill south of Machinery Palace.
There are seven large buildin's besides the small pagodas and all filled with objects of interest.

It seems as if the hull kingdom of Japan must have taken hold to make this display what it is.

And how they could do it with a big war goin' on in their midst is a wonder, and shows beyend words what wonderful people the Japans are.
There are two kinds of exhibits, one by the allied business interests or Government and the other by individuals.

But they all seem to work in harmony, havin' but one idee, to show off Japan and her resources to the best advantage, and the display wuz wonderful, from a royal pavilion, rich in the most exquisite and ornate decorations down to a small bit of carving that mebby represented the life long labor of some onknown workman.
In the Transportation Buildin' is a map one hundred feet long, showing the transportation facilities of the Empire, a perfect network of railways and telegraph and telephone wires, showin' they have other ways of gettin' 'round there besides man-carts and jinrikshas, yes, indeed! it is a wonder what they have done in that direction in fifty years.
The postal exhibit shows they delivered eight hundred and sixteen million pieces of mail last year, and every post-office has a bank, the school children have deposited in them eleven millions.

I wish our country would do as well.
