The World in Miniature.

No visitor to the exhibition should leave
the city before enjoying the delights of
view from Georges Hlll-a view which,
oot only includes the world IN miniature at
he foot Of the historical elevation, but ex-
tends for miles in every direction. Tow
ering against the sky, the statue of Column
ola, on memorial hail, first strikes the view,
hen the artistic proportions of the art gal
lery gradually detine Themselves, and, in
/ little time the henOlder recognizes that,
which at first looked like long symmetri-
cal mountain, is really the main building,
md the forests which fringe The ridges are
'nly congregation of nsgpOles and
4rTeamers.
Machinery hall, and, further on. the Of
ices of the centennial commission and
)bard of finance, these strongly resembling
he spur OF some mighty chain of hills, al
most Fl up the foreground The line
# these artificial elevations forms
he southern boundary of the cen
raj portion of the panorama, and
northward from it stretches the
International city, its broad avenues
winding in the distance into broken paths,
md the minor bu ldings glisiening ike
GEMS in the sunlight. The entire enclos-
Ire presents the appearance of hinge tri-
ngle, and near the point of its converging
lines may be discerned agricultural hall,
which. with its clay colored superstruclure
and emerald-green roof, reminds one of u
mammoth relic of the ancient mound build
era.'
Near the foot of the hill may be seen the
pavilions of the Spanish commission, the
West Virginia house, Mississippi log cabin,
Arkansas pavilion, the grotesquely carved
md latticed building erected by the Japan
Sc, the English red-tiled house. of many
ables. the suburban villa representing
New York, and many other state buildings
If equal interest. Most of tn structures
iook down upon the placid lake, which
brightly reflects upon its mrrored surface
the white marble proportions Of the &. I
4. fountain, the gothic grace of the life
service station, and the artistic form of the
newspaper pavilion. Near them il the
nosque-like dome of the Turkish pavilion,
he diminutive cafes and bszsars construct
ID by the Tunisians, Arabs, Turks, SyIians
md other oriental visitors
In front of the center Of the line of state
headquarters Is the ciuciform government
,uildlng, with its mighty engines of war
ranged about it's sides and the American
dag rustling from the tall pole above the
lone, and near by is the army hospital, the
ron lighthouse, the wagon Instruments and
)bservatories of the field telegraph division,
Shile at a little distance to the east looms
Up the brick and red tile edlfce erected in
lonor of the centennial work of New Jer-
iey and the unOstentatious pavilion Intend
I'd to demonstrate the progress of woman
within the past one hundred years.
Further away stretches blooming par
ere of flowers, foliage and plants, the
vast expanse being dotted with scores of
ustic psviions and refreshed with foun-
ANS OF dancing spray, while the loneliness
# the scene 10 brought to fitting climax
q the delicate proportions and rich decor
.tions of horticultural hall, which glisten
the glazing rays like fairy palace of
crystal. Right in the line of state build
ngs the old-time structure Of Massachu-
,etts. the granite edit co of Ohio and the
pretty contribution of Illinois attract the
eye, and, far in the distance, may be dis
,erned the annexes of the art gallery, the
main building and machinery hail The
quaint little Moorish villa, on horticultural
nall plateau, dwindles down TO doll
rouse, and beyond the Photographic aud
Jury pavilions stand out boldly the Swed-
sh, German and French headquarters.
Hundreds Of minor edifcss dot the land
,cape on every side, and here can also be
seen the two dark shaded ravines, which
stretch to the eastward amid the gorgeous
palaces like isolated vlstas of the primeval
forest. In this caravansary of the earth
wealth and power are to be seen whatever
IS cruel In war and lovable in peace-all
represented by unmistakeble symbols
Here are accumulstions of the weslth OF
The brain and the most valued productions
# animate and iuanimate nature
Though the flags of many nations hutter
over the international city, no one is more
conspicuous, and to the American, no one
more believe that the Stars and Stripes, I'M
which millions of freemen have lived and
for which tens of thousands have died.
