l. the most marvellous exhibition that ca
be conceived As practical. Chicago is the
only city in the urld that eouii have prs'
vided for il. The New York newspaper
have been in vary dirty work trying TO bt
little it. The only drawback are the Cone,
island fakes that lire the Midway. Why
YOU Americans dun't appreciate your ow /
imuortance You chase after something
foreign when YOU have vastly better a
home. saw the Paris Exposition and d
isn't 10 be compared with the Columbisi
Exposition.
Chicago is cosmopolitan city and al
American city as we'll. You see all rac'
types at the Fair and you don't hear one o.
them intima,ing that England, France o
Germany could surpass il. For once thel
national ego,.sm is squeezed out OF ther
under the immensely of the scene. cui
tured French artist may smile little COL
temptuously, not at American art, but at tn
occasional displays of what he would con
slider bad taste on the part of somebod,
connected with the at exhibit. Ih'
Krupp gun exhibit and the other Germal
exhibits are wundrous but the Fair rs
whole should be dedicated "America en-
tightening the world.
One of the many impressions which filter
through the chaos that the immense seen
inhicts on ones mind, is, not that Chleag
has done ali thi.,, not that gratitude is du'
foreigl countries for the splcudid exhibit
they have made, but that tits the result of thu
efforts of the several states OF these | Dite'
States.
San another impression that must come
with greater or less force TO all is tbi
harmony which here exists between art an
science. The WI tic City itself, largely do
voted TO the display of the fruits of science
is beautiful "a il il u woa'!rful exemplai
of artistic creation. The scene at nigh
when the Mac Nonnies fountain is the centr'
of the electrical display, the wooded islan'
seems pcoplrd with myriads Of electrical fire
flies, wh-p the water ways where gl,de goD
dolas aud giiateIing launches are now ablaz
and again dark as the powerful search light
and brlllisH.<S fireworks play upon and abou
them and are f0llowed b. shadows, is in
deed one that artists may have dreamed bu
never contemplated until cold mettcr-of-fa
science achieved what il has with electricity
ASIDE from the immensely of the Exposi
ton, a scale go large that it will probabl,
never he attempted again, the wonder OF i
all is electricity not perfected but just in
augurated
OGr party would not join with the for

Of the Exposition proper is imposing So
we're strain on one. Assuming the Mrtwa

assuredly it is not, let's relieve the stfail
