The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1893-07-05

miles south of Chicago. Every factory,
residence and other buildings in this
model industrial cii7-which Was created
much as the Worlds Fair was, on COM
pEehensive plan in an incredibly short
space of time-is faithfully shown. Near
by is q full-sized model of mammoth
steam hammer used in a Pennsylvania
forge. Like colussus it bestrides the
wide aisle, and rises 80 far above the
floor that at first one wonders whether 1t
is sn arch or tower. If made of metal,
which 1t is not, one would marvel how it
was ever brought hither. It is wooden
monster, but it serves Just as we'll as the
original could do to illustrate how man
in carrying on his mighty operations en-
ploys forces which would be too great
even for the use of Jove in his thunder
bolt factory.
A model in which all farmers and
stock .raisers will take much interest ia to
be found in the Agricultural building.
It shows the famous BrookAeld horse
farm in England, owned by Z. Burdett.
Coutts, member of parliament, and
known as the pioneer stud of the new era
in horse breeding" The buildings occu.
pied by employees, the stables, the exer'
else rings, riding school, gfauafies, horse
hospitals and all the paraphernalia Of
the famous farm ARE accurately repre-
sented. The attendant in charge e1-
plains all features of the farm and from
him one learns the enterprise was started
partly through philsnthropic motives.
When Mr.. Ashmesd Bartlett married the
elderly Bu.dett Coutts he not only
became very rich man but gained the
means of carrying out certain ideas which
he had long dreamed of. Believing the
hackney cab and carrisge horses of Eng.
land had been sadly neglected and left to
degenerate, he determined to found q
breeding farm for the purpose of elevst'
ing the stock. There is no doubt about
his success.
We have here, as you may have heard,
not only models of pretty much every
thing upon the earth, and some things
within the earth, but q miniature of earth
herself. 1t is in the Government build.
ing, and of course is q center of interest.
This little world is 20 feet in diameter,
which gives it a circumference of 69 feet
and scale on which the distance of 60
geographical or SO statute miles is shown
in an inch. It is one of the largest
globes ever made.
In Midway plsisance, the visitor who
cares to pay 25 cents for the privilege
may see complete model of st. Peters
at Rome. If one have the time and
money to spate the miniature is worth
seeing. A model of the Eifel tower at
Paris may also be seen for quarter, but
tower is thing which most people
prefer seeing in reality. In the Iowa
State building is beautiful model of
one of the hsndsomest structures in
America, the State capitol at Des
Moines. It is done in grain, very appro-
priately, for as it was the harvest from
the soil which produced the wealth to
build the capitol with, so it is fitting to
use the golden corn and the white and
saffron small grains to fashion the model
with. Unless you have seen such work
you will be surprised at the artistic
effects that may be produced With grains.
The Iowa people appear to excel in this
art, and their State capitol is an exhibit
of which they may we'll be proud.
In the Illinois building is one of the
marvellous pictures to be found in the
exposition. It is a picture rather than 8
model, and yet it is model, too. I'm.
agine, if you can, farm painted COM
plete in grasses and grains. That is
what this is. The frame is of grain, too.
Even artists who work in oil or black
d white, and who are naturally critical
intolerant of what might be termed
1 imitation art, stand amazed before the
effectiveness of this canvas of Ceres. It
has color, perspective, good drawing, and
remarkable horizon. The scene is that
of country road in the immediate fore
ground, just beyond the farm house, barn
and other buildings. Then the fields
with ripening grain and tall grass dip
ping before the breeze. The farm runs
back to the top of a gentle hill and there
disappears, the blod horizon thus created
being admirably treated. At the right
is path of woods and underbrush, made
like all the remainder of the picture out
of the products of the field, in which the
shadows appear to fall cool and inviting.
The Washington model farm, which is
horizontal and better model, and the
Illinois grain and grass picture model of
a farm, hung perpendicularly in frame,
are two of the most fascinating exhibits
in this great exposition.
In the architectural section of the Ger.
man display in the Palace of Fine Arts
the visitor will 6ud number of beauti-
full models. One is of the new German
parliament house in Berlin, one of the
most noble structures in the world, and
another shows the Emperor William me
mortal church in the same city.
As an exhibitor of models Uncle Sam
probably takes the lead. Besides the
big globe already spoken of he has bore
his great battleship Illinois, built of
brick but perfect facsimile of modern
fighting vessel. He shows also large
collection of patent Office models which
illustrate the mechanical progress of the
world during the last century, progress
in which every one will agree America
