One of the most magnificent struct.

architects The style of architecture
Is classic renaissance. The building is
put up very near the shore of Lake
Michigan, and is almost surrounded by
the iagoons that lead into the park
from the lake. The building is 5OoS
500 feet. its longest dimensions being
east and west The north line of the
building is almost on line with the
pier extending into the lake, on which
heroic columns, emblematic of the
thirteen original states, are raised A
lagoon stretches out along this entire
front of the building. The east front
looks out into harbor which affords

Jackson park from the Midway Plai-
sance, and faces east on the lagoon.
In front is a flower terrace for outside
exhibits, including tanks for nymphe-
as and the vitoria-regia. The front of
the terrace, with its low parapet be-
tween large vases, borders the water,
and at its center forms boat landing.
The building is 1000 feet long, with
an extreme width of 2S6 feet. The plan
is a central pavilion with two end pa
vilions, each connected to the center
pavilion by front and rear curtains,
forming two interior courts, each IS by
27O feet. These courts are beautifully
decorated IN color and planted with or
namental shrubs and flowers. The

to the rotunda, 100 feet in diameter.
This is surmounted by a mann moth

the main vestibule statuary has been
designed illustrative of the agricultural
industry. Similar designs are grouped
about all the grand entrances In the
most elaborate manner The corner
pavilions are surmounted by domes 20
feet high, and above these tower

these domes is that of three women,

refuge for numerous pleasure craft.
The entire west exposure of the build
ing faces a continuation of the lagoon
that entends along the north side.
With these picturesque surroundings as
an Inspiration the architects have
brought out designs that have been
pronounced all but faultless. For a
single story building the design is bold
and heroic. The general cornice line
is 65 feet above grade. On either side
of the main entrance are mammoth
Corinthian pillars, so feet high and
feet in diameter. On each corner and
from the center of the corner pavilions
are reared, the center one being IA
feet square. The corner pavilions are
connected by curtains, forming con,
tinuous arcade around the top OF the

kinds and hues, which will be consid-
cred as part of the mining exhibit and
so constructed as to have marketable
value at the close of the exposition.
The loggia ceiling will be heavily cof-
fered and richly decorated in plaster
and color. The ornamentation is
massed at the prominent points of the
facade The exterior presents mass
i've though graceful appearance.
The main fronts are 65 feet high from
ground to top of cornice, and the main
central entrances are 90 feet to apex OF
pediment. The long sides of the build
ing are treated in a simpler manner
than the main fronts. Large segmental

Artistic Advertising.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people de-
serve credit for the best grade of illustra-
tions now being used for advertising pur-
poses The series of full-page drawings
which have been appearing on the last page
of the Centary represent some of the most
capable book and magazine artists in the
country. The series must have cost no
small figure. AS yet the ''way up' artists
do not sign the work they do for advert1s-
ere we shall see in the advertising columns
such names as George Wharton Edwards,
E. W. Kemble, etc. Such men as these bring
to their work, besides mere mechanical
skill, trained Imagination and an artistic
conception of things. These qualities, when
used in connection with advertisements,
command scarcely less interest than when
used in the ordinary literary way. (Pf7nt-
