Likewise, in this age of metals, the supply- ing of many metal products to the daily uses of mankind has awakened an active popular interest in machines and methods for shaping metals. The realm of machinery has, for a long interval of development, been more or less a mystery to many, or did not arouse widespread interest; but this condition has, in the present decade, noticeably changed. Mechan- ical thought, ingenuity and workmanship are now in their progress so closely following the advances of the physical sciences, that the discoveries of science are soon turned to various practical uses, through, mechan- ical and electrical appliances, for the benefit of man- kind. The uses of machinery are so broad that they pervade every Department of any Exposition which shows up-to- date progress. The Department of Machinery Exhibits of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition aims to show in an educational and selective way the present stage of development in engines, turbines and other motors which convert natural stores of power into motion and work; also to place before the public in an interesting way all types of machines which shape wood
