WORLDS FAIn WATER PALACE

structed to hold more than 500 people.
1t Is the desire OF the promoters
Of tho water palace that It be used
as q resort for visitors to the exposi-
ton. and the spaces within its in
terror have been arranged SO that
many COOL and refreshing retreats will
be provided for those that desire to es-
cape the heat.
The design Of the building is circu-
lar hall, surmountcd by transparent
dome of water, on the summit of which
ride the three ships of Columbus that
first sighted the New World In the
center of the building is the large stand
pipe, from which will gush the circular
sheet of water whose cascade flows
over the domed roof. Around the base
OF the dome is circular parapet form
ing promenade under this miniature
Niagara, from which visitors may ad-
mire alike the play of the sunshine on
the falling water or the extended view
below. For those who may prefer
more exalted position and O still
wider view there will be elevators which
will carry them to the apex of the hem
isphere, where Santa Trinidad, La Pin ia
and Santa Maria, in all their old-time
Quaintness, will be their historic foot
hold AS did those who originally trod
these decks, visitors to the exposition
will see around and beneath them a
globe of water sparkling and rushing
in tho sunlight But its sounding echoes
will come not from the rocks of San
Salvador, but from the iron parapets
encircled by the latest achievements of
American civilization. The water cddies
and flows not into bays and estuaries,
but down the hollow iron columns, and
notidly either, but furnishing in it's fall
power for the elevator system, and
motor strength for other works in the
exposition grounds The water is not
quiet until 1t reaches the base of the
building, where it forms an aquarium, in
which the visitor may walk through
suba1ucous galleries of glass among all
manner of marine fauna, while high
above. ut the summit of the glistening
hemisphere the ships of Columbus are
in free mir, sighting continent
Access to the promenade around the
base of the dome will be had by means
OF elevators just inside of the main
entrances. The external canopy over
the promenade serves as shelter and
also as screen and reflector for the
electric lights, which are to be invisible
except for their light thrown on tho
moving water. A simple mechanical
arrangement win provide for an in
finite variety of kaleidoscope changes
tn the color of the light, which would
make the night aspect of the water
palace an iridescent globe of super
natural beauty.
