WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS
MINUTE DESCRIPTION OF THE
TOPOGRAPHY.

The Different Buildings Will Re Marvels
of Beautiful Architecture Description
of Some of the Principal Ones-PeerIess
in the Worlds History.
Many thousands, no doubt, have begun
to be curious as to how the buildings and
grounds of the Columbian Exposition will
appear-What sort of spectacle they Will
present. A bird 's-eye view Of the site and
buildings and a series of cuts of drawings
showing the elevations of the several
structures and their ground plans will soon
be issued. Without waiting for these, how
ever general idea can be given.
In the northern portion of the grounds we
will see a picturesque group of buildings,
perhaps forty or fifty of them, constituting
verltable village of palaces Here, on a
hundred acres or more, beautifully laid
out, will stand the buildings of foreign ma
tions and of a number of the States of the
Union, surrounded by lawns, walks. and
beds of flowers and Shrubbery. They will
be ranged on wide, curving avenues. will
include some of the most ornate, costly and
palatial structures. and constitute per-
haps the most interesting portion Of
the entire exposition. In the west
ern part of the group will stand
the Illinois building, 400 by 100 and
fifty feet in height, and costing $3.50, 900. 1t
will be severely classic in style, with a
dome in the center, and Il great porch fac
ing southwark. In this portion of the park,
too. will stand the fine arts, building which
is to be magnificent palace costing half u
million. Just south OF the foreign and
State buildings may be observed consider
able expanse of the lagoon, with inlet to
the lake, and encOmpassing three islands.
On the largest one will stand the United
States fisheries building, 700 feet in length,
and fanked at each end by a curved
arcade connecting it with two round pavil-
ions in which will be aquaria and the tackle

costing $780, 900; while the latter, designed
by s. S. Beman, of Chicago. will cost $780,
900. The board of architects have de-
clared that both will be exceptionally I'M
posing structures.
North of these buildings in the mann
lagoon will be an island OF twenty or thirty
acres in area. 1t is the intention to have
this kept as wild and primitive as possible.
There the visitor may wander through a
miniature "forest primeval,n painless and
untransformed by art. and may hunt the
fragrant wild flower or the saucy chip
munk and generally commune with nature
in its native haunts.
Proceeding from the administra ton
building still further westward, or, more
accurately, southwestward. the observer
will arrive at the railway facilities for the
arrival and departure of visitors. Six
parallel tracks will sweep into the grounds
in huge circle at the extreme southwest
portion. entering and leaving at nearly the
same point Around this loop the trains.

intervals of a few minutes, and the depot
accommodations will be so extensive and
well arranged that it is believed there will
be almost no confusion or crowding.

Brussels and Tapestry.

Brussels and tapestry carpets are SD
similar in appearance that they might
readily be regarded, on a casual con-
sideration, as fabrics of the same
structure. But when the principles
on which the pattern is obtained in the
respective articles are examined, it is
at once evident that there is practi-
cally no actual resemblance; for while
in the brussels the design is purely a
woven effect, In the tapestry it is
merely print, says the UphOlsterer.
The weaving of brussels affords
some characteristic features for inves.
tigation The pile warp, for instance,
instead of running off ordinary yarn
beams, is wound on bobbips or NINA
ture beams, fixed in frames or huge
creei stationed behind the loom. Each
color requires what is technically called
separate frame.
A fve-frame brussels is carpet
with this number of coIors succeeding
each other in the same line of fabric
The manner in which the various col
ors are controlled in other words, in
which they are concealed from or
brought into views an important
factor in the manufacture of this arti-
Gle. On examining brussels carpet.
it will be observed that the individual
threads forming the pile seem either
10 be composed of several colors or to
be substituted by yarns of other
shades, according to the section of the
pattern being formed. For instance,
in the same line of the design, looking
at the fabric lengthwise, apparently in
the same thread, as many as from three
to five colors, such as black, green,
drab, scarlet, and blue. form the pile
in succession. If these effects are not
due to variegated yarn, they result
from the employment of five distinct
threads, each of which is so controlled
that it only appears in the pile when
assisting to develop the design.
To obtain a three-frame pattern
composed, say, of black. scarlet, and
olive, at least three separate weaves
are necessary-o for each shade.
Thus the weave used in forming the
she'd in the warp for the black pile is
SO arranged as to depress the scarlet
and olive, while that for giving the
scarlet pile conceals the black and

A dispatch from Nanaimo, B. c..
says: The steamer Princess Louisa,
from Skeena, brings news of terrible
landslide on the banks of the Skeena
River, resulting in the death of one
woman and about forty Indians. Those
residing near the Northern Pacific Can
merry at Skeena River heard a great
rushing noise in the direction of the high,
steep mountain at the back of the can
merry. In a moment an avalanche of
rocks and earth and trees was upon the
doomed settlement, carrying everything
before it into the slough close by the can
merry. The occupants of the houses had
time to get outside the buildings, but
before they could escape from the adj
vancing column of debris. they were
caught and carried along at a fearful
velocity. In all nine houses and their
occupants were destroyed, including the
mess-house and residence of the fore
man of the cannery. In the mesS-rOOm
was the young Swedish wife of the fore
man. She was carried along in the mad
and deadly current, and dashed to death
hundreds of feet below. Indians claim
that among those destroyed were about
forty Indians of the Port Simpson, Sitka,
MOtlakahla, and Kitimiat tribes. Two
days after the side thirteen bodies of
the Indians were recovered. The body of
the foreman's wife has not yet been
found, but there is not the slightest hope
for any living thing within the range of
the terrible slide of powders, trees, and
earth. The slide just missed the can
merry building about two feet. Had the
slide struck the cannery or occurred
half an hour earlier, the death roll
would have reached into the hundreds.
1t had been raining in torrents for the
previous four days, and it is thought
that the accumulation of water in the
ravines on the mountain side broke
away, carrying death and destruction
with it. The Indians are greatly excited
over the disaster, and are mourning Bit
terly for their dead.

Roger Bacon, the far-seeing monk of
the fourteenth century, thus forecasts
the possibilities of a coming age ::
There shall be rowing without oars,
aud sailing without sails: carriages
shall roll with animagined speed, with
no cattle to drag them; instruments to
fly with, with Which man shall move
artificial wings; little machine which
shall raise aud lower enormous weights ;
q machine to enable man to walk on
the bottom of the sea. and bridges over
rivers, wh:ch shall rest neither on
piles nor on columns" Now that all
these possibilities. except flying. have
become actualities, why should that
much longer be an exception?

which cannot yet be described. Almost
innumerable structures and exhibits, such
as reproductions of famous buildings, ETC.,
most of them novel and striking in charac-
ter, have been proposed, and it is not yet
possible to tell how many or which of them
will be erected. That there will be an
astonishing array of them there can be
no doubt and unquestionably some of
them will be important eand exceedingly
interesting features of the great exposi-
ton.
All the important buildings will stand on
terraces four feet above the general park
level. thus greatly improving the general
landscape effect and rendering their own
appearance more imposing. From scores of
domes and towers and minarets, flags and
streamers will be floating, and both the
exterior and interior Of the buildings will
be "warm . with a liberal display of color.
The beautiful park, with its magnificent
array of architecture, will surely present
