may be noted, however, that the Eng

more modern method in that il follows
the Pullman idea in a modified way
and furnishes its passengers the choice
of sleeping compartments fitted up for
comfortable living and sleeping.
Turning to the historical exhibits, it
IS worth noting the vast difference
between the railway equipment of
less than half a century ago and the
magnificent machinery in use on all
the great roads of to-day. One of the
systems shows the first train run over

" sustain a truck such as is used by
any big wholesale grocer; the drivers
are almost liliputian in their dearth OF

weigh as much as 4 dummy coach On
an elevated road.
Alongside this relic of early days IS
an express train with its monster CON-
pound locomotive, its vestibuled sleep

When Chief Willard a. Smith. of the
transportation exhibits department,
was asked the other day what were he
most significant displays in his section.
he answered without hesitation: The
compound locomotives, the Campania
and the vestibuled trains" One might
take exception to the brevity and com
paratively limited scope of the deelar-
alton, but IL he studies the subject and
its bearing on the future Of transporta-
ton. he will understand that the chief
meant to summarize the epcch-making
features of his department.
The showing under the polychromat-
ic building at jackson park is the first
attempt to put transportation on the
plane of other great exhibits at an in
ternational exhibition. That the sep
aration of the exhibits from other de-
partmental classification was wise IS
demonstrated by the really wonderful
collection gathered there from every
quarter of the globe. II was to have
been expected that the railways of
America would do their utmost to dis
play their methods OF operation and
the special features of equipment that
make travel by particular lines desira-
BILE. But it Is a matter for surprise
that the utterInost parts of the earth
should have contributed specimens of
naval architecture, vehicles Of all sorts,
and queer devices which play an i'm
portant part in the carrying and pas
senger traffic of their countries.
The department of transportation.
as outlined in the system of classifica-
ton, embraces illustrations of every
possible method OF travel and traffic
known to man from primitive times
down 70 the present, as well as the
auxiliary vessels and implements OF
naval and coast warfare. Surveying
