| our attention, and as we stood OBJ
serving them, making simple sketches
we were enlightened by woman ex-
| claiming: why them's peasants"
One of the birds had great variety
of colors and tail three feet long.
We strolled along passing the con-
vent of La Rabida, then to the Indian
school from Mexico. The Indians.
young men and women. are still pur-
suing their studies and hold public
meetings each day. showing their
ability in various branches. They
were singing songs, the same heard
in our schools and public places; also
some were engaged in needle work,
others in an arithmetic class. They
were intelligent looking, dressed in
uniforms. which were dark red dresses
for the girls and dark blue suits with
red trimmings on the boys. The
teacher said they were good faithful
students and very DESTROYS of eXcell-
ing. They have become so infatuated
with the Worlds fair that they ask

friends now showed great longing to
see implements of war and there was
demand for the Krupp gun exhibit.
On reaching the pavilion, which is
situated on the waters edge near ag
ricultural hall, we entered the large
doorway and stood before a front of
16 guns. The middle one is the not
ed thunderer, which is appropriately
named. The attendant answered
pleasantly all questions asked. This
gun has barrel 46 feet long. with
greatest width, 10 feet. One shell
weighs 2,200 pounds. 1t takes Is
men to swing the barrel around and
two men to raise and lower it. This
is all done with machinery support
ing the gun. 1t was made in 1886
and has been fired with 10 rounds.
The remark that we should not like
to be struck with its shell brought
the reply, You would not care, for
you would never know it, This dis
play of guns is the grandest ever
made, and Herr Krupp has spent 81
500, 900 in carrying out his plans.
Colossal Sights.
There are many colossal things on
exhibition and one that amused our
crowd was the pavilion with a statue
of Germania in chocolate. 1t took
5000 pounds to make the pavilion,
while the statue was hewn out of a
SOlIu DIpCh OF CHOcOldlc weighing =
900 pounds. One thought it was
wasting the goods while another. not
liking the beverage, said he was glad
to see good use made of the stuff.
This did not remind one of chocolate
and the work showed artistic ability
as much as the butter sleeping Iolan-
the, made by Il woman and exhibited
at the Centennial in Philadelphia.
Since this tramp l had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the Infanta and Prince
Antoine. She looked as sweet and
charming as Il school girl tripping
up the steps of the Women's building
gaily as you please. The prince
walked more stately following after
her. She afterward threw off all
restraint and wandered As she pleased
remaining to see her face lit up in
fireworks in the evening. That day
was one OF the greatest in numbers.
Each day turns up new sights and
ceremonies, and no one day seems
complete. The whole can never be
told, so come and see for yourselves.
During the Worlds fair | hope to
meet many of my friends from Rock
Island. Any letters of enquiry shall
be answered with pleasure.
