Great Progress Being Made on the Various Buildings and Their Decoration. San Diego Calif., The arriv al of exbitits for San Diego's Panama California Exposition has started on a coniderahie scale with the receipt of impor tant permanent feature of the California State? building. Eight of the great monuments of the Mayas, recovered from the ruins of the ancient city of Quiragua, are already on the grounds, hearalding the later exhibits which will constitute some of the most valuable contributions to contemporary ethnological re search. The eight large pieces the largest standing thirty feet and weighing approximately 1,000, OOOpounds in the original sand stone, were discovered some what more than a year ago after painful and dangerous explora tion of the jungle country of the Motagua valley in Guatamala, sixty miles from the coast. With the village located, the scien tists' materials were brought over the International Railways then over a temporary tram, and then by pack, gang of na tives with machetes forcing the way through the tropical jungle. The city, dating back hun dreds, possibly thousands of years before the Christian era, is believed to have fallen at a bout the time of the Roman Em pire, but the relics discovered are so well preserved as to make the hieroglyphics easily trans latable if later research uncov ers the key The only points proved at present are that the Mayas pjople while possibiy less veiile than the Aztecs orlncas, were further advanced in jiart, in fact probably the peers of their contemporaries in Europe, Asia or northern Africa. The great monuments appear to be rulers in their theocracy, rather than deities. The dates 3975 and 3980 are found, but there is no key as to what event they chose as an era from which they dated their time. It is worthy oi note that in making the casts from the or iginals the Exposition's ex plorersmainly from the Smith sonian Institute and the School of Archaeology for the first time made use of the modern glue moulds instead of the old time plaster cast. By this means the finest hair lines of the Merogyphics were preserved in tact, and transferred to the Plaster are really more legible than on the original sandstone. The eight great figures will stand in the rotunda of the State building, all artificially colored so as to represent ac curately the originals in the Central American buried city. There is a vast amount of smal ler exhibits brought from Quiri gua with this shipment, and a httle later more of the impor tant display from Central and outh America will arrive. It ls Possible the continued study f the relics which the Exposi tnn has brought back to civili zation may produce some vague understanding of the hierogly phs before the display js for mally presented to the puolic. o A dozen large panels, replicas . 01 the famous group by Sallie : ames Farham in the Pan-Amer-!can Union buiding at Wash n2ton, have arrived and are being set in the entrance to the rotunda of the California build ing at the San Diego Exposi tion. They are the cnlv r eplicas the government has allowed to be made, and are already at tracting wide attention among artists. The panels show striking everts in the earlv history of the western world, among them the discovery by Columbus, Bal boa's arrival at the Pacific, the meeting of Champlain with the Iroquois the triumphant march es of Cortezand Pizarro. scenes from the earlv days of Chile, and symbolic figures with orna ornamentai work taken from the detail of the ancient nations' temples. o Another detachment of Indians from tne Srn lldefonso reserva tion will arrive next veek at the San Diego Exposition to join the earlier arrival at the Paint ed Desert, which the red men are helping to construct. All the thatching of ths Indian villiages done by the Indians, and the enlarged delegation will have charge of placing the adobe on the frame work which has been rising for the last month and is now entirely ready for the outer coat. Several women and girls will be included in the coming detachment, all of them to re main, with Indians from the other tribes of plain and puebol. throughout 1915 as an import ant part of the Exposition's native life. .... -o-- More of the giant palms are being moved from the nurseries of the San Diego , Exposition it on. the broad space about, the Botanical building and set as the largest pieces of the out door gardens.

Some of the large trees, packed for shipment about the grounds, weigh in ex cess of 45 tons. o In all likelihood there will be a large exhibit of the U. S. Marine corps on the Exposition ground, Representatives of the service have made a second ex amination of the tract set aside for the government and have fotwarded to Washington detail ed recommendations. Apart from the Exposition, but in plain sight from the grounds, will be the enlarged aero field of the Army aviation corps, where maneuvering will be in progress through the year..
