have a building Of their own, "thelr
very own;" they raised the money that
was paid to erect 1t, and 10 build a
tower which will contain chime OF
silver bells The location of this
building is admirable, for an unob-
structed view Of the grounds is to be
obtained from the front, while IN the
rear is delightfully."- cool and shady
grove, a paradise for the future
Knights and Ladies of Tennessee.
The Machinery Building is purely
Greek, or more correctly speaking
1ISSk-bOIlC, anu - dl IuCdl l1ApOoi-
ton building. It IS SIS feet long and
12S feet wide, and designed with
especial reference to the massive ex-
hibits that it contains.
During the past week work has been
pushed vigorously in this building and
the great $50 horse power Hamilton
Corliss engine has been placed in po-
sition and will be in working order IN
day or Two. The boilers in the
power house are almost ready and
present formidable array, the battery
being the strongest in the South. An
observation gallery has been con-
struCted So that visitors can see all
that is to be seen without getting in
the way, and there is a fascination
about machinery for many people that
is apt to take them too close to dan
ger. The observation gallery avoids
| all that.

When it is considered that there are
several millions Of people living with
in a nights rldc of Nashville than live
within nights ride Of Chicago, it is
easy TO see where the attendance Wi II
come from; and furthermore, when it
IS borne in mind that only in few
unlmpOrtant features did the World S
Fair surpass the Tennessee Centennial ,
it is safe to predict that the attend
ance will be considerably over 2,ooo-
600.
The patriotic motives that caused
the Exposition 10 spring into being
were prompted by the knowledge that
not one half the resources of Tennes-
see were known, and not one-tenth
utilized, and a desire to bring those
facts to the knowledge of the world at
large, and to back up the assertion
with display OF the products of field
and factory, mine, mill and loom.
The ideas thus called into being, ex-
panded and ripened, until, under the
fostering hand OF wise counsellors, it
outgrew the intent of its original pur-
pose and became an international in
stead of State exhibition.
The display of the manufactures of
foreign nations is beyond all question
the best ever made in the South, and
it is an object lesson that American
business men will study closely.
The capabilities of Tennessee from
an agricultural standpoint can be sum-
med up from the report of the Com
missioner of Agriculture, and the as
sertion emphatically made that the
soil Of Tennessee will produce any
crop that can be grown anywhere else
in the United States, and in numer-
Gus instances two and three crops can
be grown in one year where only one
will grow in less favored localities.
The mineral wealth of Tennessee is
virtually beyond computation. The
coal area exceeds 5000 square miles;
the IRON ore districts are enormous,
and the deposits Of bauxite, lead, cop
per, phosphate, marble and even of
gold itself are now attracting the at
lentl"n of old world capitalists.
The several buildings at tie Tennes-
see Centennial Exposition there are at
present thirty SIX are marvels Of beauty,
and the architects of the world say in
chorus that never before have SO many
glorious structures been assembled to-
gether on earth's surface. 1t is true,
they are not constructed to endure
until the end OF time, but they show
how marvelously beautiful our large
buildings could be made instead of
the unshapely piles which too fire.
