As if the grea5 Republic, the majestic

now completing pair Of electrical foun-
tains which are TO stand Immediately in

inches in diameter, will shoot up from the
outer rim of the fountain aud meet at Q

the basin. Within this cir. !e il another
of smaller jets. and withia that third.
Then there are ether jets of varying sizes
to be used in tks production Of special
eftects-for you Eaust remember that the
whole apparatus is contrirea SO that cir
cults are changed and some Of the Jets are
playing while others may 6e shut Of, or
all be operated together. Even in day

Chief Barrett about this, and he replied:
I'VE could have used three times rs much
space had We had it TO give out. You
must remember that what you see in this
building in only o part OF our exhibit. One
fifth part of the space in Machinery hall is
occupied by what is virtually an electrical
display. There are the sources Of ali our
power, for IN the Electrical building
proper we use motors, not generators. In
Machinery hall the engines and dynamos
together occupy space 100 feet wide by
1000 feet long. Then We have powerful
dynamos In an outside structure where
the current is generated for operation of
the electrical elevated railway which runs
for more than three miles around and
through the grounds. Our EXHIBIT is
