BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rum0ling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

The most imposing and beautiful of all
the great palaces to be erected on the
Worlds Fair grounds will be the Admins
tration Building. 1t will be the most
ornate, and, in proportion to its size, much
the most costly of them all. Standing on
high ground in the center of a grand court
formed by Machinery Hall on the south,
the twin buildings for electricity and mines
and mining on the north, and on the west
the great transportation loop encircling
the mammoth Machinery Annex, it will
command magnificent view eastward,
across an arm of the lagoon lying between
Agricultural Hall and the gigantic struct-
ure for manufactures and liberal arts to
the embracing moles of the inner harbor,
with their shield crowned columns en-
blematical of the thirteen original states,
to the lofty statue of Columbus, to the
ornamental Greek Casino at the piers end,
and to the vast expanse of Lake Michigan
beyond.
The building, with its great gilded dome,
towering up $50 feet, will be the most con-
spicuouS object on the grounds, save only
the Proctor Tower. mile or more to the
northward, and from 1t the view to the
eastward will be unquestionably the most
beautiful which the Exposition will afford.
Richard NJ. Hunt, of New York, presi-
dent Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, and also of the board Of Worlds
Fair architects, is the designer. 1t is the
unanimous opinion of his associate archi-
tects that he has presented the finest con-
ception possible within the limitations of
the sum made available for the construc-
ton of the edifice. This sum is sG50,000.
According TO Mr.. Hunts plans the build
ing, which covers an area 225 feet square,
consists of four pavilions 81 feet square,
one at each of the four angles of the square
of the plan, and connected by great cen
trail dome 100 feet in diameter and 80 feet
in height, leaving in the center of each ia
cade recess 50 feet wide, within which is
a grand entrance to the building. The
general design is in the style of the French
Renaissance, carried out in the academic
manner of the Ecole des Beaux Arts. The
first great story is in the Doric order, of
heroic proportions, surmounted by a lofty
balustrade and having great piers at the
angles of each pavilion crowned with
sculpture.
The second story, with its lofty colon
made, is in the Ionic order. Externally the
design may be divided in its height into
three principal stages. The first stage con-
sists of the four pavilions, corresponding
in height with the various buildings
grouped about it, which are about 65 feet
high. The second stage, which is of the

and so feet nigh, deeply recessed, and Gov
cred by semicircular arehed vaults, richly
cofered. In the rear of these arches will
be the entrance doors, aud above them
great screens of glass, giving light to the
central rotunda.
The interior features of the building viii
even exceed in beauty and splendor those
of the exterior. Between every two of the
grand entrances, and connecting the In
| tervening pavilion with the great rotunda,
is hall or loggia thirty feet square, Civ
ing access to the offices and provided with
broad circular stairways and swift running
elevators Internally the rotunda is octag
onal in form, the first story being COM
posed of eight enormous arched openings.
corresponding in size to the arches of the
great entrances. Above these arches is a
frieze twenty-seven feet in width, the pan
els of which are filed with tablets borne
by figures carved in low relief and covered
with commemorative inscriptions.
The principal story of the rotunda is
crowned with a richly decorated cornice,
OF the shelving top of which is contin-
uous balcony ON the same level as the col
onnade outside, and from which can be
viewed the vast interior. Above the bal
cony is the second story, fifty feet in height.
The walls are embellished with pilasterS,
between which a frieze of windows is
placed, giving light to the rotunda from
the rear wall OF the surrounding colon
made.
From the top of the cornice of this story
rises the interior dome, 200 feet from the
floor, and in the center is an opening fifty
feet in diameter, transmitting light from
the exterior dome overhead The under
side of the dome is enriched with deep pan
elings, richly nodded, and the panels are
| filed with sculpture in low relief and i'm
mense paintings representing the arts and
sciences. In size this rotunda will rival if
not surpass the celebrated domes Of similar
character in the world.
As to the uses of the Administration
Building, each of the corner pavilions,
which are four stories in height, will be
divided into large and small Offices for the
various departments of the administration
and Hobbies and toilet rooms. The ground
floor contains in one pavilion the fire and
police departments, with cells for the de-
tention of prisoners; il the second pavil-
ion the offices of ambulance service, the
physician and pharmacy, the foreign de-
partment and the information bureau; in
the third pavilion the postofflce and a
bank, and in the fourth the offices of pub
lie comfort and restaurant.

sent the appearance of three railroad train
houses side by side, surrounded on all the
four sides by fifty foot gallery The
trusses are all to be built separately and
so that they can be taken down and sold
for use as railroad train houses, and it is
hoped to have iron trusses instead OF
cheaper ones, which may, however, be
necessary.
In each of these three long naves there is
to be an elevated travelling crane running
from end to end of the building. These
will be useful in moving machinery, and
when the Exposition opens platforms will
be placed on them. and visitors will view
from these the entire exhibition at a great
saving of tramping
Shafting for power will be carried on the
same posts which support these travelling
bridges. The exterior toward the stock
exhibit and the railroad is to be of the
plainest description. On the two sides adj
joining the grand court the exterior will,
however, be rich and palatial. All the
buildings on this grand plaza are designed
with view to making an effective back
ground for displays of every kind, and in
order to conform to the general richness of
the court and add to the festal appearance
the two facades on the court are enriched
with colonnades and other architectural
features.
The design follows classical models
throughout, the detail being borrowed
from the Renaissance of Seville and other
Spanish towns as being appropriate to a
Colum bian celebration. AS IN all the
other buildings on the court, an arcade on
the first story permits passage around the
building under cover; and as in all the
other buildings, the fronts Will be formed
of staff" colored to an ivory tone. The
ceilings of the porticoes will be emphasized
with strong color.
A colonnade with cafe at either end
forms the connecting link between Ma
chinery and Agricultural halls, and in the
center of this colonnade Is an archway
leading to the cattle exhibits. From this
portico there will be view nearly mile
in length down the lagoon, and an obelisk
and fountain placed in the lagoon between
the two buildings, Agriculture and Machin-
cry, will form fitting southern point to
this vista.
The Machinery annex viii be placed in
the rear of the Administration Building,
and in the loop formed by the railroad
tracks. 1t will be entered by tunnels or
subways, as well as by bridges from Ma
chinery Hall and the buildings for Admin
istration, Mines and Transportation. 1t is

MINES BUILDING.

These canals, which will be crossed by
many bridges, will connect with the lake
at two points; one at the southern limit of
the present improved portion of the park,
and the other more than half mile farther
south, at the great main court of the Expo
sition. at this point. extending eastward
into the lake 1900 feet, Will be piers
which will afford a landing place for the
lake steamers, and inclose harbor for the
picturesque little pleasure boats Of all
epochs and nations which will carry pas
sengers along the canals, stopping at nu-
merous landing places.
This harbor will be bounded on the east,
far out in the lake, by the long columned
facade of the Casino, in whose free spaces
crowds of men and women, protected by
its ceiling of gay awnings, can look east to
the lake and west TO the long vista between
the main edifices, as far rs the gilded dome
of the Administration Building. The first
notable object in this vista will be the CO.
lossal Statueo of Liberty rising out of the la
COON at the point where it enters the land,
protected by moles which will carry sculpt-
ured columns emblematic of the thirteen
original states of our Union.
The main building, extending northwest
ward third a mile, will be devoted to
manufactures and liberal arts, and will re-
ceive from all nations the rich products of
modern workmanship. Recalling archi-
tecturally the period of the classic revival,
it has the vivacity. the emphatic joyous
ness of that awakening epoch. The long,
low lines of its sloping roof, supported by
rows of arches, win be relieved by a cen
trail dome over the great main entrance,
and emblematic statuary and floating ban
ners will add TO its festive character. The
north elevation of the classic editice devoted
70 agriculture will show long arcade be
hind Corinthian columns, supporting Sc
ries of triple arches and three low graceful
domes.
The lofty octagonal dome of the Admin
istration Building forms the central point
of the architectural scheme, Rising from
the columned stories of its square base go
feet into the air, it will stand in the center

this way, by frequent comparison of de-
signs, they have endeavored to obtain Tor
the quadrangle, which is the main archi-
tectural feature of the Exposition, unity
of feeling, recalling in scale and character
the most dignifed and important mani
festations of architecture obtained in the
baths and forums of classic times
According to agreement among the archi-
tects of the buildings around the quad
rangle the Electricity Building will, like
the rest, have an open porJico extending
along the whole of the south facade, the
lower or Ionic order forming an open screen
in front of it. The various subordinate
pavilions are treated with windows and
balconies The details of the exterior orders
are richly decorated, and tho pediments,
friezes, panels and spandrils will receive
decoration of figures in relief, with archi-
tectural motifs, the general tendency of
which will be to illustrate the purposes Of
the building. 1t is intended that the
friezes of the Ionic order shall bear in each
bay the name of discoverer or inventor
associated with the development of the SCI
ence of electricity, thus setting forth bio
graphical history of the science.
In the design of this building it is pro-
posed by the architects to SO devise its de-
tails and general outlines that they may
be capable of providing an electric illu-
mination by night on scale hitherto I'M
known. the fagstaffs, the open porticoes
and the towers especially being arranged
with this in view. 1t is proposed that the
hemicycle or niche which forms the south
porch shall have either great chandelier
or crown of lights suspended from the cen
ter of the half dome, or shall be provided
with electric lights masked behind the tri-
umphal arch which forms the opening of

1893 By common consent the buildings
which have been designed to house the
various exhibits have been termed palaces,
a title which their magnificent proper
tons and artistic lines have fully earned.
1t is doubtful if such an aggregation Of
palatial structures has ever been gathered
together within such a compass. Seven
stupendous buildings, any one of which
will cover more ground than the national
Capitol at Washington, monuments alike
TO the genius of the architects as well as
the progress of national architecture, fit
ting temples in which to celebrate the an
niversary of an event of unequaled i'm
portance in the history of the western
continent-such will be the Worlds Fair
edifices at Chicago in 1898.
The birdseye view herewith presented
gives a fair idea of what the Exposition
will look like. The grouping of the build
ings, which was the work of Mr.. John w.
Root, consulting architect of the board.
has been pronounced perfect.
Ex-President Gage, in his annual address
TO the shareholders of the Illinois corpora
ton, thus referred to the general layout of
the fair grounds and buildings:
BY reason of the greater picturesqueness
of a lake shore site, and the superior acces-
sibility of Jackson Park, both by water
and land, and for the additional reason
that, being now for the most part unim-
proved, it is more readily adaptable to our
purposes, Jackson Park has been chosen
as the principal site of the fair.
The eighty acres at the north which are
now laid out and under cultivation form
bUta small fraction ofthe entire area of this
park, which extends a mile farther south,
broadening constantly along the curv-
ing shore of the lake. In this unimproved
portion much of which is thickly wooded
with native trees, the ground is being pre-
pared for a system of lagoons and canals
from 100 to 300 feet wide, which, with the
broad, grassy terraces leading down to
them, will pass the principal buildings, in
close wooded island l 800 feet long, and
form circuit of three miles navigable by
pleasure boats.
