How the Little Turks Behave.

There are ten little Turks in the
Turkish village of the worlds fair.
Yet if you could pay a visit to the
house where they are living you would
refuse to believe that there is a child
in the neighborhood, says the Ladies'
Home Companion. ALI is perfectly
quiet, and you never hear asound to
tell you that there are any fun-loving
boys and girls in this little Turkey-in-
America. Now this is not because
Turkish children are stupid or do not
know how to enjoy themselves. 1t is
simply because their way of having o
good time is different from ours, as
well as their ways of playing. When
the little Turks play they all sit in a
serni-circle, with crossed legs, and then
they pass a nut from one to another,
like the Indian game of ''hunt the
nut" or they softly roll pebbles back
and forth. OF braid straw into baskets.
They are ever SO cunning, these little
Turks, and they obey their father and
mother better than American children
do, so visitors to the fair declare.

The Tntramural Railway at the Worlds
Columbian Exnosltion.

Columbian Exposition.
In the Intramural railway and its
operation the public visiting the
worlds fair is finding one of its strong
est attractions. The remarkable ex-
tent of ground embraced within the
boundaries of the Columbian EXPOSE
ton rendered the question of adequate
and satisfactory transportation one of
considerable gravity. The idea of
using surface cars could not be enter
tanned, and this left but one alterna-
,tive-an elevated road.
AS the exposition was to be symbol
iical of the highest point reached by
nineteenth century civilization, the
operation of the road by steam was out
of the question, and the plan finally
adopted was an electric elevated rail-
road running almost entirely around
the fair and obtruding itself as little
as possible.
The line, consisting of 14,S0O feet of
double track and 1900 feet of single
track, was not laid out until after the

work of construction had been begun
on nearly all the fair buildings and
many of them completed, and the line
is necessarily circuitous.
1.-THE exhibit in this power house is
the most complete single exhibit of ad-
vanced types of mechanical and cleo
trical machinery in motion at the fair.
In the center of the building stands
the electrical wonder of the world
the great 12-pole 1900 kilowatt cleo
trica1 generator, coupled directly to
the huge 1900 horsepower Corliss en-
CINE. This generator is the largest
ever constructed and although it is
rated at 1900 k. W., or about 2,100
horsepower, it can be operated to give
5000 horsepower under emergencies.
It's tremendous size precluded tie pos
sibility Of its shipment complete to the
fair. The different parts were, there
fore, shipped separately, and were put
together for the first time in the power
house itself
The transportation service is effect
ed by trains running at four-minute
intervals each train consisting of a
motor car and three trailers; the trains
weighing 63 tons each, seating $50 peo-
pie and the cars being of the same
length as those generally used on ele-
. waited roads-about forty-five feet from
end to end. The weight of these trains,
as compared with a train drawn in the
usual way by locomotive, shows a
saving of about 20 tons dead weight.
The cars are open, with doors in each
side opening at the seats. By means
of lever at the end of the car, all the
doors are opened or closed stimuli
taneously, and one man opens the doors
of two cars. Thus three men only
one motorman and two conductors,
suffice to operate the train, where five
would be required in ordinary steam
elevated service.
The motor cars and trailers are each
46 feet long. The motors are the most
powerful railway motors yet construct
ed, developing 1873 horsepower each.
They are geared for a speed of 80 miles
an hour.

Fish In Mammoth Aquaria.

In the Fisheries building at the
worlds fair are ten aquaria having a
capacity of 1000 to $4,000 gallons of
water each. In the center of the east
ern polygonal building is rotunda
sixty feet in diameter, in the middle of
which is a basin or pool twenty-six
feet wide from which rises mass of
rocks covered with moss and lichens.
Almost every fresh water fish known
may be seen swimming in the pool.
