PANAMA EXPOSITION.

A correspondent of the Christchurch “Press,” writing from San Francisco, says: Possibly no section of the Pana-ma-Pacific International Exposition will command more attention than the department of education and social economy. The study of the conditions of living and methods for their improvement has attracted the serious attention of all Governments, and interest in ail phases of social aiid commercial uplift work is constantly increasing. At the Exposition the subjects of eugenics, hygiene, religion, labour, commerce, government, and rural and urban development will be elaborately treated, and will receive the attention of notable authorities. Thorough preparations are being made for exhibits in the department of social economy. At this time, various organisations in England and Germany, as well as in America, are making preparations for exhibits in' the social economy palace, which will contain the most complete and the most remarkable collections of social economic subjects of modern times. One of the leading German economists is now on the, way to San Francisco to begin preparations for an exhibit in the hy=* giene section of the department whicli will be of an extraordinarily interesting nature. The exhibits will take the form of a model human heart of immense proportions. A similar exhibit was presented at Dresden a few years ago by the same student of hygiene, hut the one to be shown at San Francisco in 1915 will be ranch elaborated and improved. Te model will be large enough to allow persons to walk through the arteries and see the action of the life machine of the human system. Standing in the centre of the section, the model heart will appear like a moderate-sized house of fantastic design. Throughout the period of the Exhibition, this heart will be [kept working by electric power, and visitors will be able to see exactly how the organ works, and will be given an opportunity to note the heart’s action, which it would be impossible to do by means of the most exact charts.
