influence OF . Condola Ride Through the
LaEOons OF the Fair.
The music came softly, sweetly out
to the old man and his daughter as they
sat, half reclining, on the luxurious
cushions of the gondola, gayly deco
rated with Japanese lanterns.
The myriad of gay lights from the
corniccs, from the roofs, from the
waters edge reflected in silver and gold
the ripples of the lagoon. High up
along the balcony they could see the
flaming torches Pickering with Roman
"Reminiscences, and the white, CHASTITY
faces and dark forms of the people
looking down on the beautiful scene,
while all around the lagoon, sitting
upon the wide rail of the fence, lean
ing against the statuar'y, or moving
about with eager, restless tread, they
could sec the thousands of sightsecrs.
In the distance they saw the simmer
ing, mufti-colored waters and heard the
gurgling murmur of the fountains
The stoical gondoliers deNtrously
swung the gondoll here and there
among the gay craft, laden to the
waters edge with merry parties of la
COON tourists. Once, in a pause of the
orchestral music there came to them
the twang of a banjo. then happy
French song came ripping across the
dancing waves.

cooled on the top floor and then dis
tributed by means of fans. 1t required
fifty thousand pounds of ammonia to
operate the system, this product being
used over and over again, and at the
close of the exposition the fifty thou
sand pounds would have been without
loss in bulk.
Great expectations had been based
on the popularity of the skating rink.
It was in the room next the roof. The
ice was to, be five inches thick, frozen
by pipes of circulating brine placed
close together. Balconies about the
sides were erected for spectators and q

all the abyrinth of pipes and tanks, and
a German firm put in the boilers, said
to consume the smoke, thus being
capable of burning the very poorest

tho 4oregoin8 calamity ia the ldte
arrival Of the Columbus fleet and the
Viking ship. A few days ago the Santa
Maria, the Nina and the Pinta cast
anchor in the basin before the White
city, and following quickly in their
wake came the Gokstab-find with l.er
crew of hardy Norsemen. Such naval
pomp and ceremony rs was witnessed
upon their reception was never before
seen in Chicago, and possibly never be-
fore in the new world. The bosom OF
old Lake Michigan has been heaving
considerably of late, and it might well
heave with pride at such gorgeous dis
plays as have been made upon it since
the great fair was opened.
From the time of their landing at
New York these strange vessels, which
have been produced in the likenesses
of the historic craft of Erickson and
Columbus. have been accorded the
! warmest receptions and have been
fcted and honored, and now that they
have found safe harbor after their
perilous voyages in the waters OF
jackson park they will be held as
precious mementoes of the great navi-
| gators who dared the anger of the
| elements to found a new civilization
| upon the shores of an unexplored world.
The history of the caravels has been
published broadcast during the last
| few months and has become familiar
| to all. The history of the modern
| Viking ship is of more recent date and
| will prove somewhat more interesting
| reading at this time. The ship Gol<sta b.

and utilize the pile he accumulates in
constructing other buildings-not SO

ish building will not suffer this com
mon fate. Though it will be taken
down it will again be reared in it's

1t has been bought by the Martin
Luther college of Chicago, and when
the grounds and airy bowers of Jack
son park are deserted, and the place
that was the center of the world for six
months is only a memory. the building
will be taken apart and removed to a

made in Sweden, inspected by all who
cared to see it. gently taken to pieces,
each part marked and shipped to the
worlds fair, where in a few days it
stood forth substantial building as
any. 1t may appear that the structure
is something of an architectural toy,
but this is not the case.
Its dimensions are by no means small
ana tne main tower Is something over
one hundred feet high.
It is one of the most curious as well
as one of the most artistic. The archi-
lecture is original. though the designer
| has followed closely the style used in
| the ancient ''stane'' churches of five
hundred years ago. 1t was not intend
| ed for a college building, SO the interior
! must necessarily be remodeled. AS it
has fallen into the hands of Swedcs,
| there is little reason to fear that every
| thing will not be done to retain as
much possible the original design.
The outside will no doubt be unmo-

| The transfer from the Sweden gov
eminent to the college authorities was
made some time ago. but the news
never leaked out as far as the Chicago
I papers, English or Sweden, were con.

firms, amounting to several thousands
had to be satisfied in cash. Otto

deal.
