 Nearly every state in the Union has a state building.
 These foreign and.domestic buildings contain exhibits of the products and manufactures of their particular state or country, making d great show ln themselves.
 There are also many private build ings throughout the grounds, contain ing firm exhibits.
 Special mention should be made of the beautiful Columbia Fountain, To- cated ia front of the Administration Building. It is the most magnificent sculpturzl work in the Exposition The central idea of the fountain is that of an apotheosis of modern liDerty-Co- lumbia enthroned on a triumphal barge guided by Time, heralded by Fame and rowed by eight standing figures, repre- senting on one side the Arts, and on the other Science. Industry, Agricul- ture and Commerce. The barge is pre- ceded by eight sea-horses mounted by eight young men as outrlders, repre- Senting modern commerce. The water is furnished by d great. half circle of dolphins in the rear, and by system of jets which entirely surround the barge and figures. The effect is won derful at night when illuminated by electricity.
 The great Electric Fountains. one on each side of the Columbia Fountain, adorn the basin at this point. These fountains throw streams of water l50 feet high. Of course the Electric Foun- tains can only be seen to advantage at night In daytime nothing IS apparent but multitude of pipes. At night, through these pipes are shot several hundred jets i'll two circles, and the display is superb.
