had been told not to whip the horse
but persisted in doing it until papa
finding threats useless, took the reins
from his hands.
Now, don't you think it would have
been better for you to obey me at once?"
Bobbie was dumb.
"I'll tell you a story" said papa.
"There was once boy who climbed
up into an apple tree to steal apples
The farmer came slong and told the
boy to get down from the tree. But
the boy paid no attention. Then the
farmer threw grass at the boy. But
the boy did not mind that Then the
farmer threw apples at the boy, but
even they did not bring him down from
the tree. So finally the farmer took
some stones and threw at him, and the
boy came down the tree in short order.
Now, don't you think" said Bob
bie's papa, lit would have been better
for the boy to come down when first

No. said Bobbie, with all the au-
dacity of a five-year-old. ''He had time

In this connection we may fifty quote
the words of the Philadelphia Ledger
in reference to the grand exhibition,
which says:
retrospective of the historical, scien-
tific or artistic lessons it has to impart,
it is a grand exhibition, appealing to
every ones sense of beauty, and to
every ones interest in things curious.
The buildings are marvels of archi-
tectural dignity and beauty and so vari-
GUS in their styles and so richly orna-
mented with sculptured figures as to
afford the keenest delight to the eye.
Within the beautiful structures are
tens of thousands of objects to delight
the eye or inform the mind. 1t is the
world in miniature. Some people will
be more interested in one department
than in Others, but there is variety
enough to occupy all the spare time
that any busy man or woman can give
to the fair"
In addition to the display of higher
arts there are extensive exhibits of
educational methods by our leading
colleges and schools which demonstrate
the wonderful progress made in the de-
partment of learning during the last
quarter of century. In the education
al section of the Manufactures building
are to be found these valuable and in
teresting evidences of the growth of
knowledge in our land, and anyone that
leaves the fair without visiting this dis
play will miss one of its best features.
Some of the strange costumes worn
by the foreigners at the fair occasion
considerable merriment among the
young folks. On the Midway Plaisance
the other day score of grinning youths
surrounded one of the members of the
Javanese community and held him pris-
oner for few moments while they
J made sport of his clothing. The licOrice-
colored victim of their curiosity stood
the joke good-naturedly as far as his
apparel was concerned, but when they
got to polxing him in the ribs and step
ping on his toes, he rebelled and broke
through the line that surrounded him
and made his escape.
Among the most deeply-interested
visitors at the fair are a number of In
dams from neighboring show. They
devote all their spare time to sight
seeing among the wonders of the heap
big show" 1t is quite evident that
they also enjoy the public interest
which their appearance never fails tc
excite. CARRIED in all the trappings OF
their wild life, they pose and parade
for the benefit of the gaping crowds
about them.
A story is going the rounds about q
man who wandered into the Electricity
building a day or two ago and was
taken away shouting crazy. 1t was
said that he stood before pavilion il
which cut glass in myriad forms throws
back the reflection of many incandes
cent lights. From the roof of the
pavilion towers q pillar eighty-twt

of ruby light Then it changes t.

extends the massive iron truss work
which holds them together The
axle on which the great wheel turns
is steel bar 81 inches thick and As feet
long 1t is fastened to each of the twin
wheels in a steel hub 16 feet in diam
eter. All of this great mass, the hubs
and the two circles, is held together by
21s-inch steel rods, arranged to run out
in pairs from the axle to spread 10 feet
apart at the circumference.
There are thirty-six cars on the
wheel, each capable of comfortably
seating forty people. The cars are ~
feet long, IS feet vide and 9 feet high,
and each one weighs Is tons.
The wheel, with its passengers,
weighs 1000 tons. The, whole thing
rests on two pyramidal towers at the
axis. The towers are 140 feet high,
40 by SO feet at the base and 6 feet
square at the top. Each tower has 4
feet resting on 20-foot cube concrete
foundations. Underneath these are
crossbars of steel. The motive power
comes from l.000-horse power steam
engine under the wheel. 1t will find no
difficulty in revolving the wheel and
the passengers as fast as the latter
want to go. There is brake on, how
ever, to regulate the speed and stop
everything in case of danger. The
wheel is moved by cogs on the periph
cry passing over a chain that looks
like mammoth bicycle chain, In the
construction every precaution has beer
taken against accident.

RELICS OF OLD MEXICO.
Wonderful Exhibit Opened in the Anthro-
biological Section.

Rich in relics and ruins of a civiliza-
ton that long antedated the coming of
Columbus, and which runs back beyond
the ken into the prehistoric period of
the world, Mexico is the first to open
display in the Anthropological build
ing. The event occurred a few days
ago, but was unattended by any cere-
monies, though hundreds gained adj
mission to see the wonders that have
been exhumed, and ancient utensils
and weapons which the Indians of Mex
leo use,
As Prescott says in his Conquest Of
Mexico" the Spaniards encountered a
civilization in Mexico superior to their
own in all save the art of destruction,
and in the Mexican anthropological
collection there are numerous remnants
of this superior civilization in antique
pieces of architecture, pottery and war
weapons, while other evidences have
been accurately reproduced from de-
tails written in descriptions given by
Cortez and his scriveners, Among the
reproductions in miniature are the tenn
Piles of Xochicalco and Xicotenatl,
which were great pyramidal structures
after the Egyptian style of architec-
| ture
Besides the war shields of the
Caciques of the army of Guatomatzln,
who fought Cortez, other weapons and
such antiques as sacrifcial stones, there
are among the collections articles of
wear, palm leaf capotes, gaudy colored
cotton cloth releases, straw sandals and
other parts of the costumes of the differ
ent kinds of Indians still inhabiting
Mexico, together with the old-fashioned
utensils they used to grind corn, the
simple loom and wooden pillow. Home
life in the tropical part of the country
is illustrated in matched and grass
made cottage, while farmhouse is
built of adobe to keep ont the cold. The
collection is large, varied and interest.

open their eyes, and the entertainment
they received here in our wild and
woOlly west was such as to afford
them a fruitful topic for discussion
when they return to the palatial halls
of their ancestors.
Many prominent men and women of
our own country have come and gone
and every one of them has left with the
impression that nothing was lacking to
make of the fair a complete success
And the impression was no mistaken
one, to judge from the later reports
from official sources, Everything points

high and low, who have seen the fair it
is the greatest, grandest exhibition the
world has ever seen.
The royal visitors from abroad have
been astounded at the magnitude and
grandeur of the enterprise They had
heard great deal about it and were
prepared to find pretty big show here
in Chicago, but when their eyes beheld
the splendor of the White City great
was their surprise and admiration

A NAM MOTH WHEEL.
1t Takes the Place of a Tower at tn,
Worlds Fair,

"Oflus fhlr.
After the various tower schemes for
the worlds fair were abandoned there
came to the front a man blythe name
of Ferris who had what incredulous
people termed monstrous wheel in his
head. Mr.. Ferris became the object of
much ridicule on account of pet prof
ect of his, which was to build big
wheel which would carry passengers to
an altitude of 270 feet His plan was
regarded as exceedingly visionary, but
after frequent rebuffs he succeeded in
obtaining permit to put up his wheel
in the Midway Plaisance. The work
was begun last March and has just
reached successful completion and has
been put in operation.
Its highest point is 265 feet above the
surface of the earth. The diameter is
$50 feet, and the circumference S25. the
entire thing being raised Is feet above
the ground.
In reality there are two wheels,
twins, 80 feet apart, but it takes
them both to make the Ferris wheel
These twins are connected by iron rods
and struts which do not approach
nearer than 20 feet to the periph-
cry. Outside of these rods the cars
are hung and supported by steel bars
of about five inches in thickness extend
ing from one wheel to the other. Each
wheel has for its outline a curved iron
beam 2515 by 10 incnes. Forty feet in
side is another beam, forming a smaller
circle. From these beams or circ

the regularity of clockwork the trans
formation of color goes on, but always
the pillar of light made by five thou
sand lamps is there. And each lamp
has the power of six candles. On top
of the column is bulb six feet high
Thirty thousand bits of crystal go to
make up the bulb. The expert and
eight assistants were six weeks putting
the bits together. Through this glass
flash the most powerful electric burn
ers. Here is base of dazzling scintil-
lations q column of ever-changing
color, an apex of fire. Of the twenty
four thousand horsepower which the
management has provided for the en-
tire fair, seventeen thousand horse
power is set apart for the manufacture
of electricity for various purposes. The
pillar of light eats up electrical energy
at the rate of fifteen hundred horse
power Before this pillar stood the
man, plain farmer, when the current
was turned on. He saw that eighty
feet of solid brilliancy blaze out and
then die away. He stood as if chained.
Once or twice he put his hand to his
face Somebody who saw he was
peculiarly affected started to speak to
him. He raised his arms and with a
terrible yell fell forward on his face.
Two guards picked him up. Shouting
at the top of his voice he started on a
wild race over dynamos and wires and
motors. Five guards caught him and
overpowered him. All the way to the
station he fought and shouted. Then
he became calm. 'Tll tell you how ii
was" he said. Somebody has stuck bot

but the spectacle referred to is enough
to dazzle anyone, and when the wires
are manipulated, as they are in mos
wonderful fashion, the effect is simply
paralyzing in its magnificence.
