THh VOLCANO OF KILAUKA.
tries, and it is therefore not at all re-
markable that among tho proposed OK
hibits there have been announced a
great many which viii attract general
attention even before the opening of the
Worlds fair.
There will be one entertainment at the
fair which, in boldness of conception
and elabOrateness OF execution, Will
probably not be surpassed by anything
m that great aggregation Of curiosities.
twill be nothing Less than an ambitious
effort TO reproduce ON a comparatively
large scale the great volcano Of Kilauea,
Hawaii, one Of the Sandwich Islands.
This great fire and lava spouter has long
been known as the Inferno Of the Pa
cific Ocean" 1t is almost always In a
state Of eruption, and although it Is 300
miles FROM Honolulu, on the Island Of
Oahu, hundreds Of people make tho tedi-
Ous steamboat trip in order 10 witness
the awe inspiring spectacle of a massive
mountain belching forth fra, ashes and
nauseous vapors, while the molten lava
pours down iJs sides from tho for bidding
orifice like the saliva from tho distended
jaws Of a mad dog.
Walter Burridge, the Chicago scene
painter, is to do this principal past of the
work, and for the purpose of having the
picture true to life he visited Hawaii,
saw the volcano in eruption, took photo
graphs and made sketches OF the scene
and then returned home to go to work
on his immense undertaking. We're this
counterfeit presentment OF a volcano to
consist of nothing but the "dull, sullen
canvas" it would scarcely be worth any
special mention. 1t will, however, be
something more than picture. II will
be what might be appropriately called a
"spectacular cycloraIna, for it will have
its eruptions at stated intervals, and if
the proposed programme is carried ont
they will be very realistic. The CYCLIC
rama upon which Mr.. Burridge Is work
ing will represent the entire crater of
Kilauea, with its walls and lakes OF
lava, eruptions, explosions, steam, fire,
ashes and vapor. 1t will be colossal in
its proportions. Its total length will be
400 feet, arranged in circle 1873 feet in
diameter, and the height will be 80 feet.
This volcano in miniature will be ready
for the opening OF the Worlds fair.
Another unique and it may be added
particularly attractive exhibit will be
q young woman who is to journey all
the way from California. Her name is
Ray Sunshine Beveridge, and it is be-
heved that she is the only female black
emith in the United States. A forge
will be set up in the California building
for Miss Beverage, and there will be
sold daily the articles which her dainty
fingers will forge from the stubborn
iron. CaliaDrnia's commissioners are
proud to admit that Miss Beveridge will
be the most attractive exhibit from their
state. She is a niece Of Ex-Governor
John L. Beveridge, Of Illinois.
The story of this plucky young ladys
work as blacksmith is quite interest
ing. She is not following in the foot
steps Of her father, nor is she an APP
prentice in horseshoeing establish
ment. She will ignore that branch Of
the trade altogether Miss Beveridge is
a student, if that designation be appli-
cable, at the Coggswell Polytechnic in
stitute in San Francisco. She con-
