oup very interesting to the general public, and the
subjects could be comprehended with but little effort by the
passing visitor. At former expositions such subjects received
little attention and were of no interest except to scientific
investigators.

This exhibit as a whole showed that women have taken possession

Owing to illness, Mrs. Turner served but two days on this jury, and was
