My kurumaya calls himself 'Cha. He has a white hat which looks like the top of an enormous mushroom; a short blue wide-sleeved jacket; blue drawers, close-fitting as 'tights, and reaching to his ankles; and light straw sandals bound upon his bare feet with cords of palmetto- fibre.

If one were to ask what individual best typifies the industrial progress of this nation, it would be easy to answer, Thomas Alva Edison.

That couple typifies the elements of greatness in our every-day people. At first blush the husband's rough and material, but he's shrewd and enterprising and vigorous the bread winner. He's enormously proud of her, and he has reason to be, for she is a constant stimulus to higher things.
"The Man with the Pick," seen on the side brackets, is a freely modeled statue, also appearing upon the portal of the Palace of Manufactures.

According to the testimony of Inman, the pyramid is an emblem of the Trinity three in one. The triangle typifies the flame of sacred fire emerging from the holy lamp.
