action in their establishment. In ar
ranging for such congress as these
men deem 1t necessary to have Euro
pean electricians think the United
States government ought to father
tle invitations and that the
congress ought to be held
under government auspices; that invi-
tations ought 10 be issued to individual
scientific men OF the world by the
United STATES government through the
government to which the inividuals
belong, This course of action, the
gentlemen say, will insure an official
character to the proceedings of the
scientific congress and will virtually
pledge the various governments to a
recognition and adoption of the stand
ards created. II such o congress is to
be held at all 1t can only be a success
along these lines, for past experience
has determined the men, without whose
aid such an affair would fall fiat, TO
decline participation in any congress
which has for it's end less than the
work outlined above. This to the end
that the World Columb ian Exposition
shall mark distinct epoch, and the
greatest one, in the history of cleo
tricity."
HOW TO FEED THE CROWDS.
The study of how and where to feed
the crowds at the big fair grounds has
been an incident of the work of the
construction department for the last
six weeks and is complete as possible.
Food will be served in ten of the prin-
ciple buildings in restaurants, private
dining-rooms, and lunch-counters.
There will be, all told, liz dining
rooms, three characteristic lunch
counters, and fifteen cafes, wherein
$500 persons may sit at table at one
time. The dining-rooms will occupy
more than five acres of ground, and
will employ 1000 walters, cooks and
scullions. There will be sixteen res
taurants on the main floor of the man
ufactures building, one restaurant and
FIVE dining rooms in the mines and
mining building. Machinery hall will
have four restaurants on the ground
floor and dining rooms in the CALLER
les. The horticulture building will
have a restaurant in each of the end
payilions, with capacity for 1000 per-
sons. 1t is designed that the restau-
rants in the fisheries building shall be
devoted exclusively to oysters and fish.
The restaurant room will accommo-
date 2U0 persons.
A regiment of 200 hungry men can
collectively destroy the sandwich and
hard boiled egg at the big lunch
counter in the agricultural building.
In the transportation building will be
installed q typical American railroad
lunch-counter. Besides feeding the
hungry this counter will serve az an
exhibit of q ell-established American
institution. A dairy lunch, wherein
the COW will play principal part as
the source Of supply, will be served In
the dairy building. Because of con-
templated changes in the interior Of
the administration building no study
for restaurant there has been made
There will be one, however, for the use
of the administration force. No food
will be served in the forestry building
or the fine arts hall,
FIXING PRICES OF ADMISSION.
The very important question, how
much shall be charged for the admis-
sion Of visitors to the Worlds Fair
grounds, came up in the ways and
means committee. There proved to be
q wide diversity of view, regarding
the proper rate of charge. Sums rang
ing from 10 cents to 80 cents had advo-
Gates. 1t was finally decided to refer
the question to a subcommittee, with
instructions to report at an early date.
AS the exposition company depends
very largely for It's revenue on the
gate receipts the disposition of q
majority OF the members OF The
committee appears to be in favor of
fixing a rate so low that every one can
