Pennsylvania was among tho largest
,i the contril utoM to the Jamestown
.f position, appro, .pi,, Hag ?10t,000 for
j.rtlcipatlon. and It va.s decided that
..its should be expended rather in n
''storleal erhll.lt than In an exhibit of
i-t resotiri c...
Ucr state building Is accordingly a
production of Independent Hall,
"Ulladelphla, reduced one-iunrter anil
wished wH'i'n in the main according
) tho old pattern. Bonn) few changes
"ere necessary upstairs to meet the
rposltion rei.tdicneiits, but the essen
' Ul feature, large a;iartnio;itn and
. .lis and siah'v.'i:; s, are exact copies.
.'M building i.sl ?3.0(i0, nnd In it Is
mch fine fnn.Kue of the old pattern
had to (leui succeeded in collecting
possibly tho best exhibit of the kind
j the state has over made.
A series of Inrgo wall maps, flvo In
number, show the historical develop
ment of rennsylvanla. They are at
tractively arranged on tho walls, Inter
spersing the large number of portraits
of the distinguished makers of tho
state's history.
The first of those maps Illustrates the
Pennsylvania of men, the second renn
sylvntda of ltltut, Om third Pennsylva
nia In I7ir. the fourth Pennsylvania
In 17:?fi. Tho fifth Is n map of Penn
sylvania, Maryland nud Virginia for
17.".5.
The most extensive part of the ex
hibit Is n do.'in collection of object
Illustrative of PennsylVHiia history
arranged according to tho state's his
torical development.
One corner of the space represents
the early period - the Swedish devel
opment. As an evidence if the pains
taken In collecting the Pennsylvania
exhibit 11 may be hinted that n trained
university man was sent to Sweden,
service r.nd wooden pillow upon which
these ascetics rested the head while
sleeping. This strangi; people had a
well equipped prlutlng cstabllslmient
In operation, and n rare copy of the
"Martyr I'.ook" printed there In 174S
in shown. Copies of this book are
particularly rare for the reason that
during the Revolutionary war they
were, confiscated by the Continental
forces and the paper lined for gun
wads. Many photographs of the old
hulMlmrs find grounds where these pen
file lived and worshiped according to
their peculiar Ideas are shown.
A case contains documents and relics
from the German counties, among
which are some samples of glassware
manufactured by Harou SHcrel In 17tI0
and some ancient tiles from his house
at Mandolin, Pa. A thing which at
tracts the nticntlon of every visitor Is
a model of the first telephone, made by
Haldol I ira a l.auli.
A copy of ltarbara I''letchic's ItiMe.
dated 1771. and a phi.iograph of her
baptismal record, 17'i7, are of Interest
to the adi.;l;vrs of this good woman.
TVasliTiigtou to the Moravians; also
tunny of Hnvld Zclsborger's manu
scripts. There nro two novelties In the way of
musical Instruments, one of them a
harpsichord, made by the Moravians
lit Hethleheni prior to the devolution,
the strings of which will still give out
a faint sound when the keys are
touched The other Is a violin carved
by Joh.'inii Antes back In the sevenleeil
flftlrs. A photo facsimile of the first
protest made In Amerlei against slav
ery may be seen hanging from one of
the columns.
There Is a inert Intc'-c-tlii' collodion
of early Penn e,d ai.l.i German im
prints. In this case Is an original copy
of the first Il'ble printed in a Euro
pean liin:T'.'ige on the American con
tinent. The work was done by Chris
topher S-ii;er ul Germnti'ov, ii In 1711!.
In a case relating 1" early German
town hNtory are a ho's s"!! over l."H
years old and some ph"t ":iphs of
men and Ii'.-.ims ra,:i"i:s l'i the hlslory

Guarded by two brouzo wrestlers
and artistically decorated with the col
lege colors, the exhibit of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania in thu"Educullo.i
building ut the Jumestown exposition
is one of the most complete in the di
vision. Tho exhibit occupies one entire cor
ner of tho building. Along one sid.;
are heavy bookcases containing speci
men volumes from the university li
brary. On top of tho cuses are numer
ous busts and bronze figures, many of
priceless value, while on tho wall
above Is a very fine collection of maps,
charts nnd pictures illustrutivo of tho
work of tho institution.
High up on the wull on a little shelf
is n massive bust of Benjamin Frank
lin, founder of the university. On one
of the bookcases there uro two bronze
figures modeled after statues found in
the ruins of llorculunoum, which was
destroyed by Vesuvius.
What hrts proved of great interest
is u model of the first collego buildings,
pluin, und crude, constructed In thd
early days of the Institution. In con
trast with these buildings aro shown
pictures of the mugulUcent equipment
of the present duy, which Is eciual to
that of any like uulverslrr In the
country.
