lated. and free from the dirt and smell
consequent upon the use of the above
named coal We glided up and ovor the
mountains to Altoona, where we stald
over night A person travelling through
Altoona on the cars would suppose it TO
be mere village, but I was told ~ an
inhabitant that it, numbers about htteen
thousand. The only resident that
attracted my attention there was
man in the middle of the street, with a
blackboard and torchlight, trying TO
demonstrate to a large crowd that all
mathematics are based upon unity. And
then 1 thought If all mathematics are
based upon unity, all physical blessings
are based upon the .talrnighty dollar"
and soon ! saw another man, partner 70
the first, among the crowd selling book
with the principal of mathematical unity
taught in it. The scenery along the
Pennsylvania Central is familiar to most
of your readers, and has been 80 often
described that it Is unnecessary to do so
here, but it may be remarked that if any
one wishes to see it in its richest dress,
now is the time The scenes along the
"Blue Juniata' at this time Of year,
where bright Alfaretts" was wont to
paddle her own canoe" is very pictur-
esque and refreshing indeed. But to get
back to the "hub.' A native Ohiosn once
said that before going to Illinois he had
heard it was very windy out there on
the prairies, "but,'' said he, "its just forty
times windier than anything you can
conceive of y SO may it be said ir1egard
to this great exposition, it is just forty
times more grand, curious and peculiar
than anything you can conceive OF.
L have made but one visit to the
grounds, as yet and went through witha
sort OF :tnop, skip and a jump" putting
in one whole days solid work. There
are so manytnings~to be seen and des-
cribed that shall not attempt that work,
but leave it to other correspondents who
have the time / shall content myself
with scalping around, gathering a little
incident here and there, and mangling 1t
up to suit my own taste. Perhaps you
didn't know that, envelopes are made by
machinery? 1t is fact, they are. The
machine takes the paper, cuts it into any
sized envelopes you wish, folds them,
pastes them, puts the mucilage on, (ready
to be licked and sealed puts twenty-five
in package and hands them over to It's
tender to be put into boxes. One machine
makes or can. make sixty thousand enve'
lepes in one day. One young fellow
standing by said he always thought en-
velopes were made by beautiful young
girls, with little white hands and taper
ing ringers, "but after this" said he "lll
never lick another envelope" There were
many other machines doing wonderful
work. One, in particular, saw weaving
a beautiful broad ribbon IN variegated
colors, and beautiful wreaths of flowers,
and doing it very fast. Come on, and
tell everybody you know to come and
they will not be disappointed.
