Think Of putting massive glass
and iron roof over s0-acre feldl
That is what these men are doing here
to-day. and | saw them al work put
ting up the great iron trusses which
will support this roof These are vast
arms Of iron each weighing more than
200. 1000 pounds, and these arms spring
from the floor on each side and clasp
hands, as il were, away up there eli
feet above the floor. 1t is q good
sized church that has spire as high
as that, and there are "a Of these
trusses, and their span is $50 feet.
They weigh so much that IS piles have
to be driven down for each, and q
foundation of logs and iron built upon
them, for they would grind an ordi-
nary floor to powder. Each arm is IL
feet thick at the base and 10 feet thick
at the apex. They are made BY the
biggest bridge building company in
the world. and this company will, am
told, get $500, 900 ont Of the job which
It does for this building alone. The
whole building will cost 1880, 900,
and the lumber in it is quite as won
derful as the iron. 1t would take l.
100 acres of forest to supply it, and it
took just five carloads of nails to fasten
down the floor. Think how much a
carload Of nails is, and multiply il by
five, and these nails were used for the
floor alone.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeing it. Three
hundred thousand people could be
seated on the floor and in the galleries,
and $4,000 could be seated on the floor
alone. The Coliseum at Rome with
all its galleries could only seat 81, 600
people, and il was never rooted except
with canvas. You could put four
Coliseums on that floor and two pyra-
mids as big as Cheops would sit upon
it side by side and leave room for the
Capitol at Washington. If the Great
Pyramid were taken to pieces and
carried here, its material could be
stored in this building and you could
look down upon its masses Of stone
from the galleries.
This building is about third Of a
mile long. 1t has In each of its four
sides a pavilion-like entrance and
these to-day look small. Still each of

great staircases, SO wide that two car
riages could be driven up them side
by side, will lead to wide galleries,
and there will be street so feet wide
running through the centre. With its
galleries it will have 40 acres of floor
space, and it tires one to even think of
its possible contents.
had some idea of the size Of these
big buildings before came to Chicago,
but had no conception of how they
will look. The general impression
over the country is that they will be
massive factory-lIke structures of iron
and glass. The truth is they are to be
palaces which will look as though
ages had been consumed in their
building. By the aid If sort of
stucco material made Of plaster and
hair in such composition that 1t will
take all the wonderful finish of marble
and the holding Of plaster of paris,
every iron bone in the great skeletons
Of these buildings will be covered by
the most beautiful architectural flesh,
and the whole will be grand creation
of carvings, statuary, beautiful pillars
and graceful forms.
These carvings win be decorated in
colors and many of them will be
plated with gold leaf and bronze. The
Administration Building is crowned
by great dome'220 feet high and 100
feet in diameter and this is to be
gilded at a cost Of $4,000 for gold
leaf, while the interior is to be de-
corated with paintings representing
the arts and sciences and the walls will
lie covered with sculpture. The sculp.
ture on the various buildings will be
one Of the sights of the Fair and the
work now being done is wonderful in
its beauty. The capitals of the CO.
lumns of the Fisheries Building are
designs Of fishes heads and each build
ing has sculptured figures appropriate
to itself. The golden door of the
Transportation Building will surpass
in its carvings and in its gold leaf de-
coration the famed temples Of Bang
kok in Siam, and it will take days to
note the beauties Of these buildings to
say nothing Of their contents.
THE AGE OF ELEcTRIcITY.
Twenty years ago little was known
Of electricity outside of the telegraph.
At this exposition it requires build
ing Of nearly six acres to hold the
different electrical inventions, and
Edison alone will use about an acre Of
space An electricity finn Of Berlin
wants nearly an acre, and tins firm has
offered to spend 100000 on its elec-

other things which win be new. The
exhibition Of electricity in lightning
and in power production will be
shown in the different buildings in 4
way never dreamed or before.
The electric plant Of the Worlds
Fair will cost more than $1,000 600
and electricity will turn night into
day. The Manufactures Building alone
will have $4,000 lights and there will
be 10000 electric lamps blazing
away every night. The effect Of these
lights will be wonderful beyond des-
cription. There are a quarter of a
million panes Of glass on the EXPOSE,
tion buildings, and these will be turn
ed into gold by the glare Of electricity,
and the 10000 panes of glyss In the
Electricity Building will fairly blaze.
The electrical water display will
surpass anything ever attempted. The
great basin which runs from the lake
to the Administration Building will
be encircled with electric lights and
lights will be sunk under the water,
and the effect will be lake Of gold.
The fountains will flow over electric
rays Of all colors ofthe rainbow, and
there will be search lights, arc lights
and all sorts Of electric appliances,

will change at the will of the player

The schemes for getting to the ex-

being worked by agents and by rail-
roads and by bankers. There are
Worlds Fair Transportation and cx.

what was lacking in quantity was more
than made up in quality for they were
appreciative and attentive.
The track was not by any means In the
best condition, being somewhat heavy
and not sufficiently hard. The track has
been undergoing repairs and the layers
OF clay which have been mixed with the
loan have not become entirely assimilat.

wind which interfered materially with
the making of fast time and proved ex
