Can Smoke on the Grounds.

Callow young men with cigarettes con.
cealed about their clothes have Stunned
jackson park for weeks past. That was
because of the rule declaring to all that
Smoking Is Prohibited on These
Grounds" And the rule was well backed
up by the Columbian guards, so that the
fair has SO far been the most successful
preventer of tho tobacco habit on record.
But of late the guile has been relaxed to
the extent of allowing smoking in the Ad.
min%istration building and in other Offices.
Now comes the announcement that as
soon after May 1 as safety will permit
smoking will be allowed all over the
grounds and in all the buildings at the
fair, except in such apartments as are by
the necessities Of the case reserved fol
other uses.

BEAUTY OR w
One or the Other Fascinates the
Crowds at Chicago.
WALTER wELLMAN AT THE FAIR,

How the Great Exposition Swallows UP
Crowds Of P~eople-The Spots at Which
the Throngs Are Thickest-The Plaza,
the Boiler House, the Engines, the
Japanese Palace.
WORLDS FAIR, May g. [Special.] -
One OF the remarkable things about this
exposition is the manner in which it swal-
lows up a crowd. It seems as If half the
people Of the earth could be poured into
this vast enclosure without producing any
unpleasant congestion of humanity except
at the spots where sight-seers are drawn
together by some magnet of unusual
power. On the opening day, May LIST,
100000 people were within the gates. OF
course there was a tremendous crowd
around the grand basin and near the Adj
ministration building during the cere-
monies. Every one wanted to be near the
president of the United States, the duke
of Eeragua and the other high dignitaries.
But in the afternoon, after the president
and the other distinguished guests had
gone, the vast throngs scattered through
out the grounds according to their bent.
The vast exposition swallowed them UP MS
if they were a flock of sheep turned loose
in a forest.
This is not to be wondered at when we
stop to consider how large the fair is.
Within the enclosure are nearly 600 acres
of ground. In the Midway plaisance or
official side-show are eighty acres more.
OF the total number of acres probably 500
are occupied by buildings or are available
for the movements of the crowds, the re-
mainder being waste land or covered by
the waters of the lagoons and ponds.
Since it is possible for $4,000 people to
stand upon a single acre if compactly but
not i%ncompactly massed, it will be seen
that 500 or even 800 acres of available space
will accommodate vast crowd of moving.
wandering people. Here the buildings are
measured by the acre, and last fall when
the dedicatory ceremonies were held in the
leviathan known as Manufactures and
Liberal Arts, which is a mile in circum-
ference, 10000 people looked lonesome
within its vast enclosure.
OF course l50, 600 people would now find
it difficult to gain entrance to this build
ing. Then its farm-like floor was bare

palaces rolled into one contain and repre-
sent fifty nations and twice as many mill
lions of dollars worth Of goods and treas
ure. But before the exposition opened 1
saw at least 5000 men and 300 teams and
wagons at work in this building together,
with all their litter and paraphernalia,
and l have since seen 10000 men and
women and children wandering amid the
hundred millions of treasure without
crowding each other or anything.
Why, when a building has Il mile of cir
cumference, forty acres of floor and eight
miles of streets its capacity for swallow
ing up human beings is almost limitless.
