the dingy streets of its English home.
THE GERMAN CATHEDRAL
so deliberately adorned with It's domes,
its hand painted ceilings, its
portraits, its Catholic robes, its
statuary in which Christ is rep
resented in every stage from sunny
childhood to his death on the cross
We may not describe to you. And
you will pardon our passing the
beautiful buildings erected by India
where We took tea, Costa Rica where
We took coffee, Denmark so beautiful
ly adorned, Venezula containing so
many elegant paintings, end Brazil
whose draperies occasion remarks
from all the passers-by, so beautiful
do they appear, for We yet have a
long journey before us /, E., visit to

seems miles away, and yet we find it
well represented in the Fisheries
building and is in reality one of the
most instructive buildings in the
"White City" The front of the
building is carved in such a manner
as to represent different classes of
fish. The live fish exhibit is in cir
cular building 133 feet in diameter,
and is near the eastern extremity of
the main structure. As We entered
our eyes were delighted.
In the center is pool 26 feet wide
from which arise a mass of rugged
stones, covered with moss and lichens.
From clefts and crevices, crystal
streams of water dash and fall to the
wreaths and semi-aquatic plants be-
low In this pool we saw fish of many
different kinds, among the most beau
titul of which was the goldfish. Sur
rounding this basin are immense tanks
of sea water containing sporters of the
silent deep-the shark, the goldfish.
the calico fish, the starfish. the dog
shark, the sheephead, the file fish. the
logger-head turtle, all these and many
others, with sea grottOes, the coral
builders of island and continent

Us welcome to their watery home.

graves for years. Only the roar of

whale, the sea gull and the riders of

eaiity.
THE ELECTRIC BUILDING
: q marvel whose beauty is unsur-
passed at night. Its exterior decora-
ions are quite appropriate. The
tatute IF Benjamin Franklin, sixteen

When in the building we were dazed
With the beauties to which this demon

The central figure is the Edison

Over the main entrance is the pro-
