ssThe body of the pegasipede is shaped
like that of a fish. The tail acts as a rrd-
der. There is a neat, comfortable saddle
in the middle of the body, in which the
person who wishes to make an ascension
sits. Then there are pedals exactly similar
to those used on bicycles on either side of
the body. That is the bicycle portion of
the machine. Over the head of the manis
a huge fan, which is worked by strings
connected with the pedals. This n, by
means of a series of cogs, goes arc at a
terrific rate of speed when the pedals are
worked. The result is that the machine,
man and all, rises slowly into the air.
They can stop at any time, rise slowly or
rapidly, as they choose, go backward or
forward and descend when they please.
ga series of fans under and on the sides
of the machine will propel the pegasipede
after the top fan has raised 1t in the air.
Those fans are my secret, and | don't care
to show them until have protected them
by patents. These fans work rapidly or
slowly, as the operator chooses, and / am
positive that they will do the work / am
building them to do. The whole machine
will be worked by the man in the saddle.
In front Of him he will have a switchboard
and q series of levers. I1e can connect or
d~isconnect any of the fans from the pedal
strings by means of these levers. Accidents
in midair will be impossible.
People will say: How about the man
getting too frightened to work the pedals
or becoming exhausted while up in the airs
What will happen theng' / can answer
that in a very few words. One of these
levers in front of theoperator connects with
two sets Of framework, which are covered
with thick capvas and which are folded in
the sides of the machine. A touch Oh this
lever sends this framework outlike a flash,
and the canvas forms a parachute. Another
touch on another lever will stop the other
fans working, and like a huge bird the
pegasipede will slowly and gracefully de-
scend to the ground"

Glories Of the Inland Metropolis

Having written so much of the "White

Engiishman would say, to tell Worlds fair
visitors something Of what they can see in
the Windy City, which is a greater exhibi-
ton in its way than that at Jackson park,
for it is not, like the latter, a tempo
rary exposition of the progress OF the
world, but a permanent manifestation
Of the latest and best achievements OF
commerce, industry. science and the arts.
The great temples of commerce that
abound IN every side-massive structures
of steel and stone that tower aloft to heights
that. dwarf the domes and steeples OF the
churches of other ~days-wll first attract
the attention and then excite the admlra-
ton of the stranger. Some of them he viii

that they were not built for mere display
and sees how well they answer the require
ments of their being it will not take him
long to discover the beauty that is moreap-
propriate because only incidental.
Only to name these structures would take

can't help seeing them, and you will not
have time to see them all unless your stay
in Chicago is a long one. You ought to make
8. thorough inspection of some of them,
however, especially of those that have OBJ
servatories from which the city and its sur
roundings canbe advantageously seen. The
Masonic temple, at the corner of State and
Randolph streets, is perhaps the best for a
birdseye view of the city, though from the
tower of the Auditorium a good view of the
city can be had, and on q clear day the In
diana and Michigan shores can be seen
across the lake. The Auditorium is in Con-
gress street, extending from Wabash ave-
nue. to Michigan boulevard, and is a COM
bination of hotel, theater and business
building thatjs well worth close inspection.
The board Of trade building is another
interesting structure, and you can spend
an instructive half hour in the visitors gal
lery of the bcardroom watching the antics
of the bulls and bears. There is agood view
down La Sale street from the tower, which
is 1872 feet high, and the visitor who makes
the ascent will get a sight of the largest
weather vane in the world, a lake schooner
Is feet long.
The Woman's temple, too, the home OF
the National w. @. T. u, at La Sale and
Monroe streets, ought to be visited, and
the new Art institute of course everybody
must see, since it is a sort of adjunct to
the fair. It will be found on the lake front
at the foot of Adams street and is a mag
nificent stone structure admirably adapted
to the purposes of it's construction. 1t cost
something like 100000, of which the
Worlds fair directory contributed 100000
Then there is the Armour institute, Of
which Chicago is very proud, and the Chi
cago university, famous for the big endow-
ments it has got and the big telescope it is
going TO get-the biggest in the world.
But the parks are what most people want
to know about and what everybody should
make an effort to see. Lincoln park, the
Oldest of them all and the most interesting,
if we forget jackson park and the White
City for awhile, stretches along the lake
front for about 2]1x miles on the North Side
Of the city. 1t contains about $50 acres,
and most of the fine statuary that Chicago
has to display has been located there, the
celebrated statue of Lincoln by st. Gaudens
leading allthe rest in artistic value and inn
portanee. Rebisso's Grant is a magnificent
piece of sculpturilg, and the group of Pot
tawatemie Indiana near the geological gar
dens attracts a great deal Of attention, be-
sides which Pa4sridge's Shakespeare and
the statues of La Sale, Schiller and Won
Lime are all moreor less interesting. Then
there is the Yerkes electric fountain, which
is a beautiful sight and which is usually
operated two evenings a week during the
summer.
or the South Side parks, Jackson and
Washington, little need be said, since Jack
son park and the Midway p~laisance, which
connects the two parks, are now devoted to
the exposition. Washington park is still
open to the public, however, and no doubt
many visitors will pay their respects to its
