around on the Ferris wheel is nearly one
sixth OF mile.
Here are some distances which the habitual
visitor will appreciate. From the entrance
TO Midway II Is 1900 feet 20 the Administra-
tton Building. This is considerably moro
than three-quarters OF "a mile u good walk,
even In the country. Yet people who cover
the distance every day look over az the dome
and say There's no need oil taking a train /:
ms only step" Up al the narrowed north
end OF the grounds, II is 20O0 feet from the
fiuy-seventh street gate over 10 the lake, yet
this preliminary stroll is unnoticed by those
who pass the State buildings and then turn
southward for the main part OF the show In
keeping track Of distances is always well
70 remember that once around the Manuiac-
tures Building lacks about 700 feet OF being q
mile.
Suppose you land from boat az the Casino
pier, walk over 70 the peristyle, turn north
and pass through Manufactures Building
straight through the Government Building
and then proceed by the shortest cut 10 the
art palace. How far do you suppose you
have travelled A miley More than that
$500 feet II you kept as near a bee line "a
possible. But II you selected some OF the
winding paths and reconnolteriin In sidc aisles
through the two buildings, you walked one
and one-half miles.
Follow the average sight-seer through q
days walking. Pick out route which Is

minal station and goes 20 the Administration
Building, whence he drops south 70 the Ma
chinery and Agriculture buildings merely
passing through them TO reach the peristyle,
along the length Of which he passes 20 the
Manufactures Building. BY the tune be
reaches II he has covered, at the lowest, $500
feet. Through Manufactures Building once
then through the Government and Fisheries
Buildings and over 10 the art palace easily
makes 6OOO more. II he follows the much
Travelled route from the Art Building down
past the southeriy State Buildings 70 the
Piaisanee entrance II is just about $500 feet
10 be- added.
Then the Plsissnce. Perhaps be will not
walk 10 the extreme west end. but he will 20
three-fourths OF mile and return making
an actual chalk-line distance OF one and one
half miles with another mile TO be added be-
cause Of the zig-zag course, making II 10 900
feet on an easy compromise. Leaving the
PlAtsance, suppose that he passes through
the Horticulture and Trausp ration Build
lngs TO the court Of honor and the grand
basin, around which he walks slowly during
the illumination and band concerts, finally
directing his way 10 the terminal station and
train for home. Any tape-line measure
Men: following his steps would show that
another $500 feet had been placed TO his
credit. He had not crossed the wooded
island. had not looked into the Mines or Flee
tricity Buildings and had not gone farther
north than the art palace nor farther south
than the Agriculture Building. Add up the
ngurs and IL will be found that he walked
b5, 900 feet, or tribe less than seven miles,
with hardly any allowance for incidental
foraging 10 the right or left. Az a matter Of
tsct any one following that route would walk
ten miles.
