MOVING THE FERRIS WHEEL.
Five Trains of Thirty Cars Each to
Garry Tt to New York.

L rom the OHlCdRO lTlDuuD+
Preliminary work incident to taking
down the Ferris wheel on the Midway
Plaisance has begun. This consists of
placing false work, engines and appa-
ratus. 1t will tako ten weeks to take the
wheel to pieces. The car that was used
for carrying the Krupp gun will be used
for the 70-ton axle The material will be
taken in five trains of thirty cars each to
New York city. There are 5000 tons of
metal in the wheel, and 100000 feet of
timber is needed for the false work.
Taking the wheel down will be more
dangerous than putting it up. Only one
life was lost in erecting the big attrac-
ton. The expense of taking down, NOV
ing and rebuilding the wheel will be
s15O.0 900. In New York it is to be placed
at Thirty-seventh street and. Broadway.
Old Vienna will be produced around 1t.
Here the wheel had 8 900 electric lights;
in New York the number will be doubled.
The old Ferris Wheel Company goes out
of existence and a new company, COM
posed of New York men, has been formed.
Superintendent l.. V. Rice has charge of
the removal. During the fair the wheel
went around 10000 times, and carried
2. OO0. 900 passengers. The largest single
load was carried Oct. 10, when at II 30

steamship proceeded TO F'reemantle,
West Australia. Then she went to Sgd
ney, New South Wales. One of the crew
was there eaten by a shark.
From there she sailed for Japan and
from thence to China. She reached Sin
gapore in May and took aboard the flag
ends of her cargo While she was there,
May Is, a tornado struck the town and
wrecked all the adjacent warehouses
The wind ripped the iron of the one on
the wharf at which the Port Phillip was
tied up. metal sheet struck the steam
ships main topmast, sliced 1t clean OF.
Other sheets wound themselves up in the
rigging and tied it in a pretty mess.
The strangest part of the storm was
that it had no influence on the ships
barometer and neither before nor after
the tornado was any detection notice
able. The Port Phillip reported all well
