under which things are now being put
to rights it will not take many days to
get every detail completed. The build
ings themselves may be said to have
been, completed on the opening day, the
only drawback to n finished exhibition
being in the exhibits themselves; and
when it is remembered that many of
them are to come from distant lands
across frozen seas due allowance will be
made for all delays.
In the Manufactures building are n
number of signs over spaces allotted to
foreign countries notifying visitors of
delay in the transportation of exhibits,
notably those of Norway and Russia.
In each case ice blockadcs and unfavor-
able weather have caused delay of
five or six weeks in the passage, thus
rendering it an impossibility for them
to be ready for the opening. No time
will be lost in forwarding these ex-
hibits when the roads arc opened, and
we may expect to find them all in place
in the course of few days.
There is, however, much to interest
one even in the chaotic state which pre-
walls in the larger buildings In the
Manufactures and Liberal Arts build
ing, which in itself is sight worth
travelling the world over to see, some
of the booths and stalls are marvels of
mechanical execution and artistic cX-
cellence. The department of Germany

the building, and the biggest cannon
in the United States.
Among the other buildings the Fish
cries is more nearly completed perhaps
than any. The aquarial display is no
doubt the finest ever seen in this coun-
try In each end of the beautiful build
ing are the tanks containing myriad
forms of piscinc life, among which are
specimens mere glimpse of which is
well calculated to thrill the beholder
with wonder. This exhibit has been
throngcd with visitors every day since
its insta llation, and no wonder, for 1T is
indeed an attractive sight to behold
the denizens of the deep sporting in
their native element all unconscious of
their nearness to their natural enemy,
man.
Affairs in the Transportation build
ing are as yet in very unsettled state,
but there are nevertheless some very
interesting exhibits exposed TO public
view. For instance, an immense trip
hammer in the southern end of the
building towers away up to the high
roof almost, having the appearance of a
mountain of iron in its great bulk.
This, however, Is deception, as the
monster hammer is made of wood black
ened over to resemble the metal.
All the buildings were thrown wide
open to the world on the opening day,

hotels are within mile of any Of the
railway stations. The visitor may stop
at one of these for day for from three
to five dollars and have time to secure
a boarding place. 1t would be cheaper
for you, however, to leave yonr trunks
at the station, take valise and UNI
brclla and go at once to jackson park
by any one of the five routes of rapid
transit.
To get to Jackson park from any
point downtown take the State street
or Wabash avenue cable line or the
ALLEY i" farther down, any one of
which will take you to the fair for five
cents The Illinois Central may be
boarded ON the lake front or you may
60 by boat from the foot of Van Buren,
street. Either of these routes will cost
twenty-five cents for the round trip;
the train makes the trip in fifteen min
utes, the boat in forty-fve, but when
time is not an object a ride on gay
steam launch with music by band
and a view of the "NNhite City" at the
worlds fair from the water Is by far
the more enjoyable. The Illinois Cen
trail road will probably sell commuta-
ton tickets of twenty-five rides at a
substantial reduction on a single ride,
as they do now to suburban pas
sengers. If your rooms are more
than a mile from any of the entrances
to Jackson park this item of transpor-
tation has TO be considered in the ex-
penses. 1t will not be wise to walk
much outside the grounds, as you will
have a.. the walking you want inside.
! The distance from the center of the
city to Jackson park is seven miles, and
the journey occupies from twenty to
forty-ivc minutes, according to the
route you take, but il your rooms are
on the North or West side of the city a
connecting car line will have to be
taken and five cents more paid.
All roads coming into Chicago will
land passenger in the terminal sta
ton in Jackson park for the price of
one admission to the fair and ten cents
in addition to the price of your railway
ticket. 1t is by far the simplest and
cheapest plan, since in the fair grounds
you can transact all the necessary bust
ness incident to arrival in a strange
city. In the terminal station you may
check your hand baggage, have the
free use of well-equ pped toilet room
and get lunch as simple or as elab-
crate as you wish.

Concessionaires Already Making Dcposits
Safety Deposit Vaults.
The Worlds Columbian exposition
branch of the Chemical national bank
has begun to do land office business
even though the days spcc the opening
have not been the best in the world for
concessionaires, Judging by the de-
posts already made the cashier is of
the opinion that the majority of those
having concessions will come out at the
close of the fair with every pocket full
of money.
MANY of the concessionaires are run
ming half or a quarter of the booths to
be run in working order now" said
Cashier C. E. Braden, ''yet the deposits
made during the three days of the fair
indicate prosperous business. Our
bank has done much more business
than we had counted on for the open
ing The department of foreign OK
change and letters of credit has been
more literally patronized than we had
any idea. Advices have been received
of many more letters of credit issued by
foreign banks and we are convinced
that the travel from foreign countries
will be much greater than is being
counted upon by exposition officials.
This bank has adopted a copyright sys-
tenn of Identification, and all the CORE
spondents of the bank have been noti-
fed of it. by means of this system in
tending visitors to the worlds fair may
purchase exchange, and find on their
arrival at jackson park that they are
already identified. This, we figure, will
be of great advantage to visitors who
are not acquainted in Chicago"
The exposition branch has its safety
deposit vaults in working order, and
exhibitors who desire safe place for
the storage of their valuable articles are
renting them for the term of the fair.
The new scheme has been put in opera
ton of checking watches for visitors,
who would rather pay twenty-five cents
than subject them to the dangers of be-
ing stopped by too close contact with
the electrical dynamos. The bank is to
put in service a collection wagon, which
will make collections from the con-
ccssionaires in Midway Plaisance.

and its beneficial effects will be felt in
our midst from this time forth. Our
people viii be educated, our land will

proud of her achievements in this line.
There were some queer sights to be
seen about the grounds on the opening
day. People in some instances had pre-
pared themselves against the weak
nesses of the flesh and the cupidity of
their fellows by Juggling out lunches,
folding chairs, etc, They paused
wherever hunger or WEAKNESS over
took them, and, seeking some out-ot-
the-way place, planked themselves
down for a feast or a rest. Men
waded about with chairs under their
arms, and women and children carried

wise, perhaps, for there were many
cases of extortion reported. Exorbi-
tant charges were made in some OF the
restaurants, but such q row has been
kicked up in various quarters that the at
tention of the fair officials has been at
tracted and their assistance enlisted to
discourage any further attempts at ex-
tortion.
When the people learn the ms and
outs of the fair there will be few cases
of overcharging to report. There are
restaurants at the fair where meals can
be had at reasonable prices, and they
will profit in the long run by keeping
their prices down, for they are sure to
get the bulk of the patronage. In re-
gard to transportation to and from the
fair there are some things to be learned
which when known will enable visitors
to save much expense. A few hints on
the subject may be Of service at this
time.
The railroads terminating or center
ing in Chicago have nearly all come to
an agreement on rates that vary from
twenty to twenty-five per cent. reduc-
ton on round-trip tickets. So many of
the roads have come down to the neigh
borhood of two cents mile that others
will be compelled TO do so in order to
get passengers. There will also be fire.
quent excursions run on all roads and
the rates for these will depend on the
number of people of small means who
desire to come to the fair from a dis
lance. They are not TO exceed one and
one-half cents mile, howevei, and may
be as low as one cent. ........
! This will be easy enough to manage
from the visitors local station. 1t will
be when you arrive at one of the railway
stations of Chicago that your troubles
will begin. You will be confused by
the crowd and strange streets, and will
have but the vaguest notion of where
to go or how to get there if you do
know. In the first case you can leave
your trunks for twenty-four hours in the
baggage room, where they will be safe
and will cost nothing for storage, Hand
baggage can be left at the checking
counter, which is to be found in each
station, for day for ten cents for each
package. Thus relieved of bundles, you
can ask a policeman how to get to a
certain point on a street car or You can
take a cab
The legal rate of fare for one-horse
vehicle for one mile or less for one or
two persons is fifty cents. For the sec
ond and subsequent miles, twenty-five
cents. If taken by the hour the rate is
seventy-five cents per hour. For two
horse carriages twice this amount may
be demanded for two persons and fifty
cents additional for every passenger
over this number. Children under four
teen are charged twenty-five cents, but
those under five years are carried free.

A MEDICAL COLUMBUS.
The Discovercr Of Alcohol and Anti

The Discovercr OF Alcohol and Anti
mony.
The year 1898 is not only the quadri-
centennial of the discovery of America,
but also that of the birth of Paracelsus,
the celebrated chemist and physician,
although his methods were of such q
character that in modern times we
should cab him charlatan. 1t is said
that Paracelsus was also one OF the first
discoveries of alcohol, which he called
the Elixir of Life" but demonstrated
the fallacy of his theory by himself dy-
ing sot. One of the most noted eX-
PLOTS of Paracelsus was in experinen-
tation with various drugs, one of which
acquired its name from the peculiar
qualities which it exhibited. Having
found peculiar substance, he tested
its medicinal virtues upon the monks of
a pcighboring monastery with the eff
feet that each one of the persons who
took the medicine promptly died. From
this fact, he named the newly discov-
cred drug 'anti-monls," which in the
Spanish language is ''anti-monie," from
which we have 'antimony."-Good
