lovingly in the big Agriculture Building

They saw on every side of them
golden grain from million tillages
decking the walls Wheat that has
undulated in the sweep of the prairie
breeze has been contorted into frescoes
Artists have spent months in devising
zigzag friezes, traced out in cunningly
devised patterns of red, yellow and
black seeds, and the result is a com
bination of art and agricultural pro.
ducts that fairly bewildered the
dwellers in the rural districts when
they entered the temple of Ceres to day
Everyone who views the exhibit is
struck with its vastness, ,land its value
as an educational factor in the develop
ment of the great tract of country still
unbroken on the Western prairies
The exhibit, too, has the merit Of
being practically complete Russia, the
wheat field of Europe, has the largest
space, her exhibit occupying nearly
10000 feet, most of which is devoted to
wheat. Two British dependencies,
Australia and Canada are next In size,
their respective exhibits taking up
nearly 1000 feet each. Germany, too, is
well represented, and Brazil has ira MS
ferred her entire national exhibit from
last years exposition at Rio de Janeiro to
the floor of Agricultural Hall. Coffee is
the staple of the Brazilian show, and it
is in evidence from the bud stage until
it reaches the breakfast table France
displays a model farm on small scale
Japan's speciality is tea; China too shows
tea with large display of rice, and all
the nations of the earth unite IN display
ing the choicest products of the soil in
the most attractive manner.
The south half of the main floor has
been devoted TO the United States. Corn
is king in the Iowa section; Wisconsin's s
booth is covered with glass covered
panels of seeds and grains arranged in
colored layers; North Dakota makes a
conspicuous showing of her wheat ;
Louisiana displays her cotton, and Ken
tucky outstriIs the world with her ex-
hibit of tobacco.

The building occupies the most com

although it occupies little space, as com.
pared with its giant neighbors the
Manufactures, Machinery aud Agricult-

achievements within the enclosure. 1t
is in the form of four pavilions, 81 feet
square, covered and connected bv a
great central dome 100 feet in diameter
and 250 feet high, In its interior it is
the gem of all the Worlds Fair build

In no other building is there so
much magnificent decoration, To briefly

How Public Safety and Health Are
Cared for-DisgruntIed Thieves.
The police arrangement for the pre-.
servation of the peace and protection Of
visitors within the grounds of the
Worlds Fair are of the most complete
and systematic nature, and, despite the
reports that "crooks" from far and near
propose to make the neighborhood of
jackson Park preying ground for the
ensuing six months, there is very little
probability that these gentry will be ena
bled to carry on their operations upon
any extensive scale.
When the gates were opened this
morning 1000 men in blue, stalwart fell
lows, nimble of foot and big Of MUSCLE
aud with intelligence stamped on their
countenances, were distributed over the
grounds. These are the Columbian
Guards, who are under the command of
Colonel Rice, veteran in military ser
vice and a disciplinarian of renown
Two fields of usefulness are filled by this
small army; one, the general functions
OF p lice, and the other, the affording to
visitors all necessary information that
may be sought In the latter particu
lar they may be not inaptly regarded as
walking guide books
What the crooked fraternity will be
inclined to fear the most, however, is the
secret service bureau, a department Of
the exposition which has been in prog
ress of organization for the past six
months, and which is under the direct
control and supervision Of noted

years one of the chiefs of the general de-

official det, ctive branches of one hundred

balance are sleuth-hounds, both by

France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia,

All of these detectives have the photo

on their memories, and the light fingered

the purpose of utilizing this force 10 the
best possible advantage the big en-.

sections, aud some thirty detectives,

lieutenants, have been apportioned TO
each division. They will not be fixtures,
however, but will rotate weekly.

The Evolution OF the Modern Locomo-
tive From the Rude Cart to the Gigan-
tic English Railway Engine.
All colors save white have been ex.
cluded in the decoration Of the Worlds
Fair buildings save one That exception
is the Transportation Building On its
exterior and interior every color in the
spectrum has been called into requisi
tion, and these, with profusion Of gold
leaf, have produced an effect as beauti
ful and artistic as it is striking The
chief attraction, however, is not the
building itself but the exhibits which
it contains, illustrating, as they do,
every successful step in the evolution
of modern transportation facilities, from
the rude cart up to the modern locomo
tive and the ocean greyhound.
A chronological arrangement has been
pursued which simplides the task of tax
ing in the scope of the exhibit From
the original plank striDger" tramway,
laid in England in 1880, the visitor
passes by the succe isive developments
of way leaves" used in 1888, the iron
scantlings of 1850, the first cast iron
rails made ia 1885. and the first tram
way in the United States, built in 1909
AT this point in the journey the visitor
reaches the era Of steam, for it was in
1885 that Watt completed his model of
the steam motor. From this begins
series of old locomotives, leading up to
the monster English engine which occu

that every newly discovered principle is

Beautiful Display OF Flowers.
Lovers of flowers wandered through
the Horticulture Blilding TO- lay, unab g
to tear themselves away for the pur-
pose Of inspecting the other depart
ments of the fair Everybody found
fresh revelations in the wondrOus
variety of favorite flowers, and he tropi-
cal verdure transplanted the visitor for
the momest TO the sunny southland
Winding pathways through the courts
and curtains of the building led on to
fresh revelations Around the interior
of the great dome, whore a great gallery
hangs over the main floor, hun
dreds looked out upon vistas of verdure
and brilliant color for hours at a time.
Electricity Exhibit Incomplete.
1t is impossible to deny that the work
in the Electricity Building is still long
way from completion, and the building
as compared to most Of the others pre-
sents a barren and empty aspect. The
local board of directors transferred TO
Machinery Hall the power plant, which
occupies $50, 600 square feet of space, and
much electric street railway material
was assigned to the Transportation
Building, and the space designed for it
in Electricity was not again allotted.

other intricate machinery is slow, and il

Ripples of infantile laughter and shouts

the appearance Of Grover Cleveland and

If the author of "The Complete

have stood in the centre of the Fisheries
Building to-day, and gazed around him,
he would have realized how very incom
plete after all his Complete Angler"
is. He would have seen fishes of which
he had never even heard fishes large
and fishes small fishes from the South
Seas and fishes from the frozen deeps
Of Labrador; handsome fish and
hideous fishes; fishes of vivid hue and
fishes of no particular color-in short
such collection of fishes as could be
seen nowhere else on the face of the
earth.
The magnitude of the Fisheries exhibit
is such as to surprise even those VIII
projected 1t. for unexpected additions
arrived up to the very hour of opening
TO day, and still others are on the way.
Aside from the exhibit of fishes proper,
fish culture, fish capture and fish dress
ing are shown in all the various stages

tries is illustrated with apparatus Of the
most modern construction and approved
type Fresh water fishing and deep sea
dredging are exhibited, and the hatch
