which holds them together. The
axle on which the great wheel turns
is steel bar 80 inches thick and 45 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
216-inch steel rods, arranged to run out
in pairs from the axle to spread IL feet
apart at the circumference.
There are thirty-six cars on the
wheel, each capable of comfortably
seating forty people. The cars are 81
feet long, 10 feet wide and feet high,
and each one weighs 10 tons.
The wheel, with it's passengers,
weighs 1000 tons. The whole thing
rests on two pyramidal towers at the
axis. The towers are 40 feet high,
40 by so feet at the base and 6 feet
square at the top Each tower has 4
feet resting on 2O-foot cube concrete
foundations. Underneath these are
crossbars of steel. The motive power
comes from 1,OOO-horse power steam
engine under the wheel. twill find no
difficulty in revolving the wheel and
the passengers as fast as the latter
want to go. There is a 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 chain that looks
like mammoth bicycle chain. In the
construction every precaution has been
taken against accident.

In this connection we may fifty quote
the words OF the Philadelphia Ledger
in reference to the grand exhibition,
which says:
irrespective OF the historical. scien-
tific or artistic lessons il has to impart,
it is 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 eve 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 Plaisanct
the other day score of grinning youths
surrounded one of the members of thu
Javanese community and held him pris

the joke good-naturedly as far as hi
apparel was concerned, but when they

a MAMMOTH Wheel.
10 Takos the Place of n Tower ut tho
Worlds Fair.

After the various tower schemes Tor
the worlds fair were abandoned there
came to the front a man by the namo
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 97O 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.
It's 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 10 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 90 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 curved iron
beam 25]1 by 10 inches. Forty feet in
side is another beam, forming smaller
circle. From these beams Or circles

FASHION NOTES.
New and Beautiful Designs In JeweIry and
Silverware.

Paper knives of silver, lately shown,
embody the lotus flower, two long,
dropping stems being the serviceable
portion.
In jewelry of variously shaded gold
a design that has recently attained pop
ularity is hop blossom dropping with
in circle formed of its own slender
stem and serrated leaves.
In short silver watch chains intended
to be worn with an outing belt by ladies,
the bar ssupplanted by cluster of flow
ers,a sword or other popular device. A
small heart, the fleur de lys, or an ear
of corn is employed as a charm.
Water lilies with curved petals and
yellow stamens, with long green stems
entwined to form a wreath, the trum-
pet-shaped spathe of the Gala lily, wild
roses Frightening their dark, twisted
stems, and many other circlets of small
white, pink, red or blue blossoms, are
variations of the floral designs now so
prevalent.
Flotsam and jetsam of ocean, lake
and river suggest numerous attractive
designs for jewelry. Upon saffron
colored cushion, as if cast there by the
waves, rests weather. beaten log or a
shattered spar with the parted rope
still clinging to it, and curtained with
lacelike seaweed. In an odd conceit to
one of these ocean waits is affixed a

another popular design.

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.

they received here in our wild and
woolly west" was such as to afford
them 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 complete success
And the impression was no mistaken
one, to judge from the later reports
frsP official sources. Everything points
tod good interest on worlds fair stock
just at present, and there is little likeli-
hood of any falling off in the receipts
during the remainder of the fair season.

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


Rich in relics and ruins of civiliza-
ton that long nntedated the coming of
Columbus, and which runs back beyond
the ken into the prehistoric period OF
the world, Mexico is the first to open a
display in the Anthropological build
ing. The event occurred 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 dcsti uction,
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
pies 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 capotcs, gaudy colorcd
cotton cloth releases, straw sandals and
other parts of the costumes of the differ
emit kinds of Indians still inbabiting
Mexico, together with the oldfasbioned
utensils they used to grind corn, the
simple loom and wooden plow. 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 out the cold. The
collection is large, varied and interest
ing, and is exhibited at Prof. Putnam's
solicitation by Col. George NJ. Greene,
Pennsylvania, who has become thor
oughly Mexicanized by thirty or more
years residence in the City of Mexico.
He has been assisted by his wife in
making the selections, and she helps in
presenting and explaining them W the
public.
