fair will open in May with million tulips
in bloom around the Horticultural build
ing, and will close in October with great

the greatest show of orchids ever seen
The Horticultural building faces the cen
ter Of the Wooded island, which contains
sixteen acres.
The Agricultural building is in size 800
by 500 feet. The height of the cornice is 65
feet and the dome 100. The floor area is
fifteen acres and there is an annex cover
ing nearly four acres. There has been
used in the main building 100000 feet Of
lumber and 100000 pounds of structural
iron; in the annex 1900, 900 feet Of lumber.
In connection with this building is an as
sembly hall 450 by 1876 feet seating capaci-
ty, 1900; cost, 100000
This building is most richly ornamented,
and is adorned with many groups of statu-
ary of heroic size. The main entrance is
sixty.four feet wide, and is adorned with
Corinthian pillars fifty feet high and five
feet In diameter. The rotunda is 100 feet
in diameter, and Is surmounted by great
glass dome. 1t is worthy of note in this
connection that agriculture and it's kindred
interests Of forestry, dairy and live stock
has exhibition space under roof of sixty
nine acres, the buildings costing S1,2ls,000

Russian newspapers announce that the
ministry Of public domain has appropri-

of Russia, and pamphlet in Russian and
English will be printed explaining the
agricultural resources of the empire. The
action of the American people in sending
corn to the famine stricken districts of

Russian painter Of marine, Mr.. /. X. Aiva-

and the South American republics
These but barely hint at some Of the
things which naturally suggest themselves
in connection with the dedicatory cere-
monies. The 400 years between Columbus
: and the Columbian exposition have been
so stupendous in their outcome of pro-
gress, despite woes and disasters, that 1t is
fitting that the Worlds fair should be
stupendous exponent of the doings Of this
mighty and unexampled era.
Speaking Of the enterprise recently, Sir
Henry Trueman Wood, the British com
missioner, said;

mense area that will be covered by the
Chicago exhibition. II is absolutely with
out comparison. The site comprises Jack
son park, occupying 566 acres; Washington
park, a mile away, OF 81 acres, and strip
OF land called the Midway plaisance, con
Meeting the two and contributing fur
ther area Of eighty acres. The latter will
be converted into a bazaar and street Of
nations, and sliding water railway, very
like the one In the Paris exhibition Of 1889,
will run along the whole length. Thus there
Is a total OF 1857 acres available for The
purposes OF the exhibition, The Washing
ton park win not probably be built upon,
so that the ground acMaily covered will
be about $50 acres-that is, four times as
great as that Of the French exhibition in
1850.

The plan is central glass dome, con
uected by front and rear curtains with two

each So by 270 feet. In these courts will
be placed bearing orange trees and other

Other Ways.


Everywhere, on the buildings and in the
statuary, crops out in glorious designs the
intense Americanism of the whole vast
project. "Patriotism," Tradition" lib,
erty"--these are few of the many groups
that adorn the structures and do honor to
the makers. Besides this highly credit
able expression of loyalty to the republic,
nearly every department of the great eX-
position will have its relics on view-old
records, portraits, machines, models, in
ventions, etc.-each having historical inter.
est or marking stage of progress in its
own line. Particularly numerous will be
these historical exhibits from the United
States. Almost every state will contribute.
One Of the best contributions will be
shown by Pennsylvania, the collection
being furnished mainly from Philadelphia
under the auspices of a committee of its
city council. Among the objects in this
collection are the following: The chair
occupied by Thomas Jefferson when writ
ing the Declaration of Independence; the
table on which it was signed; the silver
inkstand used on that occasion; Thomas
Jetferson's sword; chair of memorial woods,
including parts of Columbus house in
Spain; bell rung at Valley Forge when

Eight large propagating houses, cover

been finished. Limited room in these

will propagate plants Of unusual merit
which cannot be transported from their

for complete exhibits of green and hot

The Two Are Closely Identified with the

The participation of women in the expo
sition promises to be one of the most inter
esting as well as novel features. With
commodiOus and imposing building de-
signed by young lady architect, and with
an abundance Of money, and with full
recognition, Endorsement and aid by the
United States government and the exposi-
tion directory, the women have an oppor-
tunity of showing, in most signal manner,
the condition of their sex throughout the
world, what are the achievements of wom-
an in the various branches Of human en-
deavor, and what is her adaptability to
different occupations and lines of indus
trial and charitable work. Under the di-
rection of the boards president-Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer-the work Of organization and
of enlisting the interest of women through
out the United States and in foreign coun-
tries has progressed to most satisfactory
stage. The lady managers are practically
in charge of several of the congresses
which the auxiliary will hold.
