by exhibitors.
The main exposition court is open
to the dome, but surrounded by n
gallery. In addition to broad stair
ways which lead up to the gallery
there will be two American elevators,
which in themselves will be novelties
there. Opening on to the gallery will
be exhibited rooms of the various
States, the largest of these, which will
be forty by eighty-two feet, will be
devoted to the United States Govern
ment. There will be eighteen rooms
on the second floor.
In the center of the main hall will
be an illuminated electric fountain
and soda water fountain, which is
peculiarly an American institution in
its moderniZed proportions.
The building is rectangular in de
sign, while the space allotted to the
United States is irregular in shape,
caused by the Rue de Retranchement,
which runs obliquely through the ex-
position grounds. There is thus left
pentangular piece of ground on the
west, adjoining the electricity build.

fire station, where the system which
has made the fire service of the United
States unrivalled throughout the
world will be demonstrated. The sta
tion will have all of the latest devices
for fire fighting. An ambulance wagon
will also be placed III this annex.
In the rear of the American build
ing there will be complete modern
shoe factory in operation. This will
be an important exhibit, as this coun-
try is recognized TO be far in advance
of the rest of the world in the manu-
