The himself, no doubt, is too much enlightened, too completely in touch with t lie current of modern ideas to - share the belief held by hundreds of thousands of his subjects that divine blood courses through his veins. But, whether he believes in this or not, the ruler of Japan can at least point ton genealogical tree which entitles him to boast of possessing the bluest blood op earth. IU imperial majesty Is tho 23d emperor of Japan, The Japanese have their history and llu'ir mythology, and tlie present emperor conics from Jimniu Tenim, who was the first mikado, and ruled Japan 660 years before Christ was born 2,554 years ago. This man was a descendant of the sun goddess, and Mutsuhilo, the present emperor, traces Ida desccut directly from him. Japanese history gives Ilia story of each of the 132 emperors between the two, and if yon will think a moment you w Hi see how far back 660 1L C, ia. It was before Rome had become an 'empire, England was unknown 7cn to the Romans, and hundreds of years r were yet to elapse before penetrated GauL Such is the ancient lineage clulmed by the present emperor of Japan.

That bnilding will be feet high. The Manufacsixty-flv- e tures building carries out the same Romanesque idea, hut is considerably more elaborate. In the Agricultural building the idea is carried out in a sort of pyramidal shape, and so, too, with the Electricity building.

The Transportation building will cover an area of 55,000 square feet, and is conveniently located for the in- stallation of the heavy exhibit proposed for tills building. The Horticultural bnilding wilt be unique in design. A large central dome of glass, with three wings or arms, each ending in a smaller dome of glass, will afford an opportunity for ati excellent displsy of the flora and fauna of the south. It is not settled whether the educational exhibit will have a separate building, but it is more, than likely that the matter will take that course. Already the big Manufacturers and Liberal Arts bnilding is shown w be inadequate for the demands for space in tliowT'departments, and a separate building' for liberal arts is already would being considered.
