 The Midway Plasance is an important adjunct of the Columbian exhibition. l It's II isolated exhibits add immensely to | it's value. Of course, it is largely of an ethnological character. It is a view of l the different races and nations of the earth; and while 10000 things will be forgotten of the exhibits in the great buildings, the peculiar characteristics of the various peoples on this famous street will finger in the memory. l will invite the courteous reader to accompany me now to No. 3 in the official catalogue of exhibits on the Midway Plaisance. My first visit was alone. The second time, what of my kindred I could com- mand, accompanied me. It is the Moor ish palace. The building is of Moorish architecture, suggestive of the Alham- bra. It has a great central dome and the corners in front, are fianked with square towers. It is no insignificant structure,
 but is study of itself. We must, how ever, leave this feature of it, and hasten within. Three large portals in the main 1 facade, lead into the spacious lobby where the ''sesames" are procured. First we are ushered into beautiful palm gar- | den, veritable forest of genuine palm trees, representing great many varie- ties of this queen of trees. We are at once translated to the north coast of
 Africa. We can sit down and drink in 1 the scene, one of true Oriental beauty. Not satisfied, but having regaled our selves to some extent with the vision, we
 now enter the world-famed Alhambra,
 the enchanted palace, reproduced for the l fair at an expense of S200, ,000.
 The architectural effects are unparal-
 leled. Away from the beholder stretch endless colonnades, capped by graceful
 arches, all in gold and brilliant colors.
 In one of it's parts is 'sThe Harcm," the
 private apartments of the Padishak, rich | ly decorated with fine antique oriental tapestries. The Sultan is seen surround 1 ed by his favorites of the harem. An odalisque of the famous style of orie.tal l beauty, is amusing his Turkish majesty
 by graceful dance, while a typical eu
 much is keeping guard at the entrance of this most secluded part of the Turkish 1 house.
 ] Next we enter the cave, q grotto filled
 with stalactites. The scene is weird.
 Large boulders are piled up around us,
 and from behind them and out of the dark corners gnomes and devils peep ir-. l quisitively. We now ascend short flight
 of stairs, where the presence of half
 dozen persons, create the delusion of the
 presence of countless thousands. It is
 the "Monster Kaleidoscope" It is a be-
 wildering sight. There seems to be no
 limit to the number of spectators. It is l slightly amusing.
 We now descend, leave the palm gar
 den and ascend to the second floor of the palace. Here are groups and scenes,
 each upon separate stage, set with ap-
 propriate scenic decorations. All wax figures and scenery are furnished by the
 celebrated sculptors Louis and and Gus l tav Castan of Berlin. It is called the
 world famed Castans Panopticum of Ber- i lin. It is the Eden Musee, with varia- 1 tions. There are 60 Representations single l or in groups. A few we may notice l Gladstone, ssthe Grand Old Man. states
