over the basin, the electric fountains flash
with varied colors, the air is filled with de-
lightfu1 music, and the whole scene is bril-
liant and fairy-like.
Perhaps. the best view of all is from boat
in the centre of the basin. The eye can sweep
around the whole court and secure the great
est effects. Next to this it is best to stand
on the bridge at the foot of the Peristyle, be-
meath which the water runs, and look back
towards the Administration Building How
ever, the reverse view is scarcely inferior,
for the lake shining through the columns of
the Peristyle contributes variety and color.
But there is another view, somewhat neg
lccted by visitors. which has peculiar charms
Stand between the Agricultural Building
and Machinery Hall and look northward
Then you see across the Court of Honor and
far up an arm of the lagoon. The view is
not bounded by buildings, but melts away in
the distance.
From the wooded island is another good
place to see the Fair. Here one stands where
the landscape gardener has done his best
work and looks upon the city surrounding
him. The island is strictly rural. There are
no buildings upon it but the japanese tenn
pie, the hunters cabin and the Australian
miners hut 1t is the White Citys park. and
people go there to rest and to see the grass.
All this naturally reminds one of the classic
age-not as the classic age probably was
but as the modern imagination depicts it.
The city that Augustus boosted to have left of
marDIe might nave DOrne some resemblance
in its better portions to the Fair.
But no Roman or Oriental pOtentaIe ever
possessed the power of the modern Ameri-
can purse which has built this Fair. The
Roman Emperor might have ransacked his
dominions from Spain 20 the Caspian. but
the American republicans had the whole
world 10 hunt through. and they have done
it. The classic age cannot compete with the
age Of steam and electricity. 1t would not
be in the race. Pericles and Augustus
would have many things to learn if they
could come back.
Yet this entire city was built for tenn
porary purpose It was all raised that a
Nation might have playground for a six
months holiday. When the people have had
their summers revel the white buildings
will disappear Everything will vanish. and
the place where It stood will be park
again.
This is the Fair. Despite all the bicker-
ings and petty quarrels that occurred during
the first month of its existence, the result
has been achieved. On soil that two or three
GENERATIONS ago was bit Of the universal
wilderness of the Northwest, a Fair has been

Most people soon find their way to the
Court of Honor, or the Grand Plaza, as it is
indifferently called. 1t is the space between
the Administration Building on the east and
the Peristyle on the west, with the Manufac-
lures Building and the Agricultural Building
occupying most of the northern and south
ern sides, respectively. The water curves
under the Peristyle from the lake and forms
a grand basin in the center
With the MacMonnies fountain at the head
Of the basin, the Peristyle at the foot, green
turf and flowers along the sides and the huge
white building further back, is formed the
finest artificial view that the world affords.
The effect is heightened when the basin is
covered with gondolas and launches filed
with people. Seen from one of these boats

The White City, which Americans have
spent nearly $40, 900, 900 in building, is COM
plete in all but few minor details, says a
Chicago dispatch to the New York World
No such temporary home for the arts and
sciences and the products Of all the Nations
was ever erected before. Nor is it probable
that its like will be created again soon- 1t IS
something that all Americans can view with
pride, for the spirit and form of the classic
age have been reproduced on the soil Of the
youngest of the Nations. 1t is triumph OF
art as we'll as of enterprise
1t is no injury to the Fair that its sur
roundingS are unattractive. By any OF the
land routes the visitor approachesit through
mOnotOnous and common place suburbs or
along dreary maze of railroad tracks. TG
renders the transformation more abrupt and
more effective when he passes through the
gates and enters the grounds. He has passed
from dark and smoky Chicago, with its dirty
streets and begrimed sky scrapers, into
place where nearly all the buildings are pure
white or cream tinted. He is in an enclosure
two miles long and about a half mile broad.
Old Tyre. one Of the most powerful cities OF
the ancient world, stood on an island smaller
than this enclosure, and the whole popula-
ton Of Athens, in its glory under terIcles,
could have been seated comfortably in the
Manufactures Building, all at the same time
Chicago's 1, 300, 900 people would not fill the
park.
There are about hundred large buildings
On the grounds, and the whole place is laid
off into streets and courts just like real
city.
The first impression the visitor receives as
he sees the completed Fair is that of i'm
mensity. He might have had the same feel
ing, but more indefinite, had he been here
on the opening day. But then there was SO
much debris and SO much was not finished
that half the Fair was hidden. Now he sees
it as its builders wish it to be seen.
Then comes a feeling of perplexity. He
does not know where to begin his travels
through this city. He may remain here sey-
eral days and then go away, leaving build
ings he did not see and CT whose existence he
did not learn.

The most imposing view Of the Fair from
the ground is probably that of the grand
basin looking from the Administration Build
ing up to the Colonnade. Here a grand
court is formed by the Administration, Elec-
tricity, Manufactures, Music. Colonnade
Casino, and other buildings. At one end is
other the colossal golden Goddess of Liberty
The whole effect is certainly very striking
very fine. At night it is prettier, but perhaps
less impressive. Then the buildings are
partly outlined by countless electric mean
descent lamps, the great searchlights from
the Manufactures Building sweep fitfullY

1t will be remembered that the complaint
that the Fair was unfinished deferred many
early visitors in Chicago-many more than
were kept away from the Philadelphia Fair

mlttances at the gates the Fair treasury is
swelled by the sale Of many souvenir tickets.

into home albums and souvenir books. 1t is
not possible to get exact statement Of the
running expenses, but the Chairman of the
Finance Committee says they are not now
greater than $4,000 per day, and that they
are sometimes as low as 5000. If the
operating expenses are kept down to $500
for the remainder of the time the Fair is
open, and if the average attendance each day
for the next 40 days is mose than double the
average attendance to date. there seems to be
no obstacle in the way of the Exposition
proving a financial success.

MAKING CELLULOID.
The French Method of It's Manu-
facfuFe.

The Paris manufactures of cellu-
loid have long claimed the most
perfect production of that article to
be found in the world, though
comparison with the American
article will hardly be found to ex-
hibit such superiority. The French
process, however, has the merit of
simplicity, and the result is most
satisfactory. IN brief, a roll of
paper is slowly unwound, being at
the same time saturated with
mixture of five parts of sulphuric
acid and two parts of nitric acid,
which falls upon the paper in a
fine spray. This changes the Gel
lulose of the paper into pyroxylin,
or guncotton. The excess of the
acid having been expelled by
pressure, the paper is washed with
plenty of water until all traces OF
the acid have been removed. 1t is
then reduced to pulp and passes
on to the bleaching-trough. Most
of the water having been got rid of
by means of strainer, the pulp is
mixed with from 20 to 40 per cent.
of its weight of camphor, and the
mixture thoroughly triturated un-
der millstones. The necessary
coloring having been added in the
form of powder, a second mixing
and grinding follows. The finely
divided pulp is then spread out in
thin layers on slabs; then from
twenty to twenty-five of these layers
are placed in a uniform manner in
a hydraulic press, separated from
one another by some sheets of thick
blotting paper and are subjected to
to q pressure of some $50 atmos-
pheres, this pressure being con-
tinued until all traces of moisture
are found to have been got rid Of
i In this condition the material is
passed between rollers heated to
between 140 and $50 degrees f..
whence it issues in the form OF
elastic sheets.-New York Sun.
