St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-09-04


10 these the great show will prove an
endless source of interest. for there
they can see many pieces of mechanism
about which they have often read, but
never had an opportunity to see, TO
them what world of wonders
will be revealed in the garden and
tower of glory. The pulling cataract. the
boiling spring, the old mill, the cot
tages. the station, all lit by miniature
electric lamps, while high above will be
heard the exquisite rendition of popular
airs by the splendid band so ably con-
Quoted by jolly Mr.. Reeves. Truly there
are great things in store for the rural
visitor.
One of the exhibits deserving of spe-
cial mention is that at which the useful
ness of electricity as heating agent is
displayed. Here there is a kitchen pre-
sided over by lady cook, who super
intends the making of toothSOme deli
cacies, all of which are cooked by
electric heat. Unless one is told the
secret at the beginning, it would be a
cause for much wOnderment, where the
heat comes from. 1t seems almost inn
possible that such a small, innocent
looking wire could conduct heat enough
to fry at one time at least three dozen
donghnuts. At the same place man Is
irons out silk hats while the wearer
waits for them. Cans are soldered by
an electric soldering iron, and potatoes
boil in almost no time in an electric
stew pan.
The monographs in the art gallery
draw almost as much attention as do the
paintings. There are many who do not
appreciate the works of art, but will sit
for an unlimited length of time holding
the business end of photograph close
to their ears, while different sorts of
music in different degrees of excellence
pour forth harmony into that cavity.
In one room there is heard a splendid
cornet solo, in another whole brass
band, SO realistic that with the eyes
closed one can almost fancy they hear
the music only from the next room. In
another you are supposed to listen to a
piano solo from one of the great art
lists, but there is just a suspicion
that the cylinders have become mixed,
for that heard Dis certainly from the
hand piano that is often heard on the
public streets. There are also couple
of business monographs set up for the
use of the public who wish to test their
usefulness. and they quote stocks and
inform an eXpectantp public that ''Spring
chickens are weak" with a precision
that is wonderful. Another recites
conundrums in a lugubrlOus tone, and
it is amusing to watch the face of the
listener when the climax is reached.
When the place comes where the laugh
comes in the expression often displaces
the trumpets.
One interesting feature Is the hatch
cry, where chickens are turned out
from common everyday hens eggs
with monotOny and precision that
would make an Old-time hen realize
that her days of usefulness we're about
half over. There are hundreds Of other
things to interest visitors, and new
curiOSities are found to materialiZe at
every turn. There is complaint on all
sides that the tower of glory is not lit
up longer. 1t is certainly the most
but so brief is its short-lived splendor
that there is hardly time to study it.
The rain prevented the giving of the
performance of the Last Days of
Pompeii," the seats being wet, and the
time after the rain being too short to
fix the set pieces. Hereafter, beginning

are far more brilliant than those that
have been shown before, and will in
crease the attractivenesS of the spec
tacle. OF course, the open air specta-
tors on the bridge will make vigorous
protest, but they have been given quite
a benefit for some time, and should feel
satisfied, The band programme-an un-
