the floor, with the forty acres of exhibits
and people spread out below like a valley
seen from mountain side, is of itself 4
spectacle most impressive. But the best
is at the top. Passing through the center
Of one of the five great coronas of hun
drcds Of electric lamps and through the
roof little farther on, the traveller finds
himself in the open air. Hundreds of peo-
pie are there before him, and now, if never
before, they appreciate the vastness and
the beauty Of this great exposition which
IS before them like panorama.
If one wishes to follow the transporta-
ton question still further he has only to
20 into the immense building devoted to
this purpose. Outside the buildings is an
exhibit Of transportation in actual use,
ranging from the mule and the burro, the
dromcdary and the elephant, the gondola
and tine savage dug-out, to the electric
Launches, tie elevated, the hydraulic, the
continuously moving railways Inside the
Transportation building is a series of OBJ
icct lesscns which show the history Of all
Of mans Efforts to move his goods and
himselfto and fro by mechanical appli-
anccs. There is no more fascinating spot
in all the exposition than this, and some

Probably nine persons out of ten are
strangely fascinated by the railway and
the steamship. Common as they are in
this and most other civilized countries,
man never ceases to watch them, to won
der and admire In travelling about tho
country how often will you see men and
even women peering under the huge boil
erS of the locomotives which haul their
train, gazing between the driving wheels
at the machinery there half concealed, and
trying TO study out by what le2erdemain
or magic these ponderOus creatures Mo
made to fly like birds. Or you will seq
passengers aboard steamships begging the
privilege OF going down into the hot,
grimy, greasy hold to see the marine en-
gines, the boiler rooms, the half-naked
stokers \. railway train whizzes by u

gers glance within and say to themselves
they should like to visit that stable of tho
iron horse? Or how many note the big
switch towers. with their innumeraba
levers controlling the tracks and the sig.
nal, and have desire to know the secret
of the operation?
Well, all these and countless other
things are spread before the eve from the

Up among the state buildings, ut the
northeast corner of the fair grounds, near
the sea wall where the surf makes music,
there is a handsome old mansion which
the state Of Connecticut has erected az
headquarters 1t is faithful reproduc.
ton of colonial mansion. Before the
revolutionary period such buildings were
the pride Of the Weather class of resi-.
dents of the nutmeg state. There are
many people living who remember the
older structures, and ;hc rural towns Of
the state still contain glorious architec-
tural examples OF these manor houses,
long after their Original owners have
passed away When it was decided to
erect a headquarters for Connecticut on
the fair grounds the state commission in.
rtructcd its architects to reproduce one OF
those historic mansions. This has Reen
done Commissioner j. II. Vail, who is
executive manager and secretary of tho
Connecticut state board, has taken up his
residence in the building with his family
until the fall. Mr.. Wallis family will oc-
cupy two of the rooms upstairs and the
jluitor's family will occupy another room,
The living apartments are on one side ot
the spacious hall upstairs. ON the other
side of the hall are three rooms, which
will be open to public inspection. 1t is
difficult to do justice TO the dainty furnish
ings of these three rooms. They are fitted
up with old-fashoned bedsteads and an
tique furniture. The bed quilts, curtains
and hangiugs are loaned by prominent
families of Connecticut, who value them
as helloons. ono room IS called the
Charter Oak room,

rails, the latter being about eight inchJ5
wide. Into each shoe leads small pipe
bearing water under pressure of $50 pounds
TO the square inch, and thus n film of
water probably no more than a sixteenth
of an inch thick is produced between the
shoe and the rail. In other words, the car
is lifted from the track and foated along
upon street OF water, thus reducing fric-
fion TO an ideal minimum, averting all jar
and rumble. IT is literally n sliding or
floating train. The motive power is water,
also. Under every other car of train is a
small turbine motor, which receives the
force of the Jets of water automatically
thrown out Of Il pipe running between the
tracks.
OF course there are plenty Of places in
which one may ride in an elevator to
considerable hight for n view of the expo
sition and the city. There is no Eiffel
tower, except model of that famous
structure; but the gigantic Ferris wheel IS
an even greater curiosity. One may go up
in a captive balloon along with fourteen
other curious passengers, and rise to n
hight of ! 800 feet. or q third higher than
the top of the Eilfel tower. The balloon
seems perfectly safe, and is always kept
safely anchored to the earth by heavy
cables. Then there is curious looking
structure which is called the tower of
babel, and it IS something like 400 feet
high. Like che ancient structure upon the
plains Of Shinar il has walk or road
winding about it like the threads of IS
screw from bottom to top. This tower o.
Babel has-Or will have if its owner eve-
finishes tan equipment which it is safe
70 say the original Babel structure did not
have, namely an electric railway on which
one may ride corkscrew style to the sum-
nit.
For those visitors who are fond of going
mp to great higbt.-and this appears to be
Il widespread aspiration in the human
race-I would recommend use of the ele-
vatOr in the northern end of the big Manu-
features and Liberal Arts building. Two

From Our Washington Correspondent
an the executive mansion of hundred
years hence" said President Harrison's
private secretary, Elijah W. Haliord, Il
think can see the present building as the
central part There is 10 doubt that this
building will soon have to be enlarged
There is not room enough in it for he fam
lily and the office of the president and for
the social entertainments or public lcvces
which tradition requires the president TO
give. But do not think the people Will
ever consent to the destruction of this
house. Too many memories cling about il;
too many of the great men and great events
of the couutry's history have been associ-
atcd with it.
"'ince haze been here have often won
dered at he skill with which our forefa-
Tiers built this mansion \ hundred wears
have passed since its foundations were
started the cornerstone Of the White
House was laid Il century ago the 18th drv
of October-and it is Il good, scrviccable
and comfortable house still, Its only def
cheney is in the matter of room. 1t is state
~, elegant, impressive. In its enlargement
! think some such plan as that suggested
by the late Mrs. Harrison will be followed
preservation of the present structure and
throwing out of wings on either side. That
would give room for the living apartments
of the presidents family, for the public
offices and for the ceremonial or social func-
tons which must take place in the presi-
dents house.
The White House OF the future will,
therefore, in my opinion, be simply the
White House Of the present enlarged. do
not believe it will ever be found desirable
to separate the presidents residence from
his office. Ny four years experience here
has convinced me, moreover, that in the
future the private secretary to the prcsi-
dent and his family should also be provided
with living apartments in the executive
mansion. The president of the United
States finds it necessary to work nearly all
the time and when be works he wants his
private secretary close at hand. ThismcGus
the night as we'll as the day
"Probably more than half the evenings
of the last four years have spent in my
Office, busy either with ny own work or
standing ready to assist the president. To
do this have had to leave my own home
night after night, often at much inconyen-
fence The private secretary should have
lis home in part of the executive man
sion set apart for his use, and this necessity
should he recognized in the enlargement Of
the house and should be made a part Of the
law under which the mansion is rc-crcatcd
"A hundred years hence think the prcSi-
dent of the uitCd States will have much
less work upon his hands than h. has now,
though the country will be twice as great
and the government corrcspondingly larger
for long before that time presidents Will
cease to give personal considerable ion to u
