furnish six engines, the largest one
of four cylinder, triple expansion,
horizontal type, with 1000-horse
power, and five others with an ag-
gregate capacity of 2100-horse
power. Mr.. Henry r. Worthing-
ton, of New York, will supply four
high-duty pumping engines, with a
total capacity of forty million gal
Ions in twenty-four hours. The
water will be taken from Lake
Michigan and will be used for
fountains and fire protection. One
large fountain, to be situated east
Of the Administration Building, in
the grand court, will be especially
noticeable for size and beauty. It's
basin will be $50 feet in diameter,
and in the center will be a number
of sculptured figures. Electric
lights will be thrown by means of
refectors into the jets at night, so
that they will look like streams of
brilliant light. By a special APP
pllance the colors of the light can
be changed at any time. The
water, of which the fountain will
require thirty million gallons every
twenty-four hours, will flow over
one side down three terraces into
the Jackson Park lagoon. Another
fountain between Machinery Hall
and the Agricultural Building will
throw jets 200 feet in the air and
will require ten million gallons of
water daily. In case of fire, the
pumps will send water into the
mains distributed through the park
at pressure of 100 pounds to the
square inch. The greatest precau-
tions will be taken to prevent loss
by fire.

Her Day of Triumph Over.

Her Day OF triumph over.
A man or woman, considered abstract
ly as man or woman cuts very little
figure in this world. 1t is what the man
or woman can do that counts, and it had
better be done while life is at its heyday,
for old age without money may meet
with disrespect Nine. Judic furnishes
a case in point. The auction sale of all
her valuable jewels, pictures, tapestries
and silverware brings out the fact that
this most popular prima donna of French
opera bouffe has lost her powers of at
traction. Her inimitable diction re
mains, but her voice, beauty and grace
have departed. Her figure has become
unwieldy because of an excess of EN-
bonpoint, while her arms are painfully
thin. 1t is some years since she has ap
peared on the Partisan stage.
