Peanuts may or may not be wholesome
and nutritious diet. Authorities differ on
that subject. But no American show
would be complete without the fragrant,
unetlous peanut. They are one Of our in
stitutions, and are indispensable to com
piete happiness OF the average american
pleasure seeker.
Standing on box in front OF a small
tent containing, don't know what. a bur-
ly fellow of tragic mien bellows forth:
Ride on pale moon, thine orbs majestic
high, whatever that may mean. But tie
most ridiculous feature of the MANY catch
penny schemes Is the universal use of the
term limited. The omnibus lines are
''limited; the boarding house agencies
and the enterprises of all sorts are limited,
With some OF them the term has rather a
dlIerent slgnlncatlon from that intended.
Their patronage IS decidedly ''limited." 1t
Is SAID that the bootblacks association to be
organized ON the stock plan will also
adopt the ''limited' principle.
In one of the least freouented parts Of
the grounds, and so far removed from the
currents OF travel that it is probably not
seen by one visitor in ten, is the very novel
and interesting exhibit made by the pub
fishers of The Forest and Stream. 1t is
called the Hunters Camp" and is per-
feet representation of the externaIs of the
life Of the deerforest and the trout-stream.
The thick foliage of the cool, deep valley
where the hunters hut of logs stands, the
NOISY stream and waterfall in front, the
still pool in which float two Indian canoes, /
the guns, tshing-rods, blankets, cooking
utensils, traps, and trophies of the chase
within the hut, all lhelp to make the illusion
perfect, and 1t would not be hard to i'm
agine that one had been Suddenly transport
ed from the bustling, exciting scenes Of the |
Exhibition to some nook in the heart Of The
Adirondacks or the Alleghenies.
A curiosity rarely noticed by visitors. on
account of its position in an out-of-the-way
part of the grounds, is the first locomotive
and passenger train run on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. 1t is still serviceable, and
made the run from Altoona, where it has
been laid up for many years, to this city.
The cars are small and low, with windows
so narrow that passengers were in no dan
ger of getting hurt by thrusting their heads |
out. The engine has no cab, but the pro-
jecting roof of the combined tender and
baggage car partly shelters the engineer
The cow-catcher of the machine appears to
have been intended literally to catch the
intrusive animal and not throw her from
the track. This calls to mind the recent
achievement of the Pennsylvania Company
which is good Centennial item, exemplify- !
ing the progress in railroading. People !
here have manifested a good deal Of in
terest in the fast-train experiments and the |
successful running OF the San Francisco
train from New York to Chicago over the |
Pennsylvania Central and Pittsburg and
Fort Wayne tracks in twenty-five minutes
less than schedule time, which was twenty
two hours, is gratifying achievement, |
which only perfect roads and equipments !
renders possible. From New York to Pitts
burg, "A miles, no stop was made at all
the train running steadily on its way at an |
average rate for the entire trip of A miles |
an hour.
The beauties and delights Of fine floral |
display can be fully enjoyed here along |
with all the rest. Having walked through |
the acres of blooming flowers, verdant sod |
and healthy eyergreens, surrounding Hor- |
Eicaltural Hall, and through the orangeries !
and tropical groves of the fairy-like hall it |
self, sweet music in the meanwhile floating |
from the organ in the gallery, the visitor |
passes out and around to the northern side |
Of the budding, where he finds another con- !
constructed as an annex to sup
ply space which the main structure lacked. /
This bull hing is one great gothic arch, |
covering an area of ground $50 by so feet /
in size. Canvas is used instead of glass on !
ihe arch, and delightful shade is the con
sequence. The walks are Of fine sand kept |
lamp, thereby imparting a pleasant cool
ness to the atmosphere. But the attrac-
ion here is in the display Of rhododendrons
N all their charming varieties. There are
40 flowers in the building but these, and 1
hey are all owned and exhibited by one I
nan, Anthony Waterer, Knap Hill Nur-
'ery, England. His exhibits here number
800 plants, bearing, probably, twenty
lines as many flowers. In short time he /
must remove them from the building, to
make way for exhibitors of plants thriving
ater IN the year, and these, in turn, must
10 in like manner for still others.
Last Wednesday was the Centennial an
