NOT INTERESTED IN THE FAIR.
show which is of acute interest to him.
He has struck his line.
Take, for instance, the undertaken,
the physician, the minister of the
gospel, the lawyer. Surely there isn't
anything here of special interest to them?
o, yes, there is. They will find them
selves attracted to particular spots Just as
the machinist, the electrician, the agricul-
turist is attracted to his spot. For the uu-
dertaker there is an illustration of the
burial methods and appliances of all ma
| tiOns, including cremation and not omit
ting the mummies of II thousand or two
thousand years ago, which must make him
marvel at the art Of his ancient forerun-
ncrs in the business. For the physician
there are all the medicines and tools of his
trade, not only those made in his own
country but those used by his brothers in
| all the lands of the world. For the minis
ter there are 40 end of pulpits ancient and
modern, rich and rare, too, the beloved
| Bible in all the languages of the earth-all
| the curious editions of Bibles, the Bibles
of the ancents and thc moderns. even the
! plates from which famous editions have
| been printed. For the lawyers there il u
collection of cnroS from the department
Of juSt 'ce at Washington which will de-
light his eye-rare old law books, curious
and ancient briefs and opinions delivered
by famous men.
AS these crowds go about, each constit-
ucnt part of them making sort of walk
ing interrogation point of himself, one
can't help thinking that this is a great
town or city, complete in itself, and
created for the mere purpose of showing
the architecture of the period and the
shops and wares Of all creation. That is
just what it is. And Ii wonderfully conf
plete city we find it when we think of all
the arrangements made here for the care
of everything and everyone. Under the
ground are miles upon miles of water
pipes and sewers, and tremendous con-
duits through which the electrical wires
are carried to IA thousand points where
light is given off at night in sparkling
lamp jewels. There is a railway to carry
people from one end of the city to the
other. There are all sorts of craft on the
canals, basins and lagoons. The city has
its own pier, the greatest pier in the
world, with line of steamships touching
at 1t, and even tramway to carry people
from one end of the pier to the other.
There is IL complete fire department, Just
such as any city has; only, perhaps, better
than most cities can boast. The police de-
partment has more than 1000 men under
its control. and among them are smart do.
tectives by the score on the outlook for
pickpockets and confidence men. This po-
lice force has its guard houses, its patrol
wagons, its police telegraph line. There is
even sort of police court in which com
plants are first heard by judge known
as the officer of the day." and he decides
