India Exhibition which Is to open on May 25.
The highest point of the London wheel will be
800 feet from tho ground. The Ferris wheel
was 264 feet high. The difference in height of
thirty-six feet may not seem much but it adds
very considerably to the size Of tho wheel The
Ferris wheel carried thirty-six care: the London
wheel will have forty. All tho cars of the former
were alike. Of democratic simplicity and sever-
ity In furnishings. Ten Of the cars on the Lon
don whee! have been upholstered and furnished

served for smokers and flve for non-smokcrs.
The remaining thirty cars will he less richly
fitted, and will carry second-class passengers.
