the tower, its colors from top to bottom standing in order for
Manchuria, South China, Tibet, and Mongolia. The ancient dragon is

collector. Its pictures are a complete representation of Chinese
painting for more than a thousand years. China is represented by
exhibits in all the Exposition palaces, the most extensive participation

example of Spanish-American architecture. It is distinguished by a
square tower at one corner, a wide portico, roof of Spanish tile, and a
