ships That shelicd Ccrvcro.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17-Among the
new and interesting exhibits at the Ma
tional Export exposition are models Of
four of the great battleships which de-
stroyed Cervera's fleet at Santiago.
These models are perfect to the
minutest details. and strike the eye
beyond the line of bisected 10 inch
shells, such as put an end to the flight
of the Cristobal Colon, and which can
be projected from the decks of the
Oregon and ships of that character for
a distance of 10 miles. These models
are in the south pavilion of the Main
building. and attract as much attention
rs any exhibit in the building. They
are from the Cramps shipyard, where
the vessels were built, and their chief
value and interest is in the accuracy
and detail of their construction. A
very interesting display of relics of the
Spanish war, many of them from the
harbor of Manila. and some of them
from the heights of San Juan, is made
In another part Of the Main building.

The King of snnnshos.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-There are a
few things at the National Export ex-
position that command as much at
tenticn as the beautiful. chaste and or

artistic. One of these is a member of
the humble squash family. The squash

end of the South Pavilion And for size

STORY OF A GIANT AND A MIDGET
One OF the Amazing Contrasts to Be Found
at the Export Exposition.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-There are no.
where more contrasts than can DO

ton. There is shown the smallest bit

Die, compared to great rolled plate
of steel more than ten feet high: n
Tiny railway, perfect in every detail
ana drawn by 600 pound locomotive.
as compared with so ton passenger
engine; needle so small that IL
scarcely makes an impression between
the thumb and finger in contrast with
a steel girder 30 feet long, and, to cap
the climax, there Is to he found the
tiniest piece OF adult humanity in tho
world, compared with the elephant
Inc proportions of an Ohio giant.
Joseph w. Grimes. the giant, is a
bicycle rider. 30 years of age, who IL
lustrates the strength of a particular
wheel. He stands G feet. inches In
his stocking feet and weighs more than
one-fourth of tonic be exact. 562
pounds.
This gigantic mass OF flesh was
weighed yesterday on the same scales
with the Cuban midget, Chiquita, who
scarcely reached to the top of his boots
and weighs less than his two feet. The
sali OF Giant Joseph Grimes leg is 20
inches In circumference, and the panta-
loon legs which cover this enormous
part or his anatomy would entirely
envelope and hide the little woman
from view.
The smallst human adult at the ex-
position would not reach, with her
mar dressed In pompadour fashion, to
the hips of the expositlon's biggest
man.
The little woman has q head as big.
as baseball: Grimes head requires
a No. 10 hat.
These two curious creatures illus,
trate the versatility and extremitres
of the export exposition.

BIG DAY AT EXPOSITION.
Almost Fifty Thousand Persons Attend the
the Great Show

the Great Show.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-Saturday was
the banner day at the National Export
exposition. Nearly 10000 persons
Ito be exact. 44.S97) visited the trade
show along the Schuylkil. From early
morning until late at night the peo-
pie thronged through the entrance
gates, and the rush was far greater
than the most sanguine expectations.
To some extent the assembling of the
commercial congress has stimulated
public interest in the exposition, and
resulted in increased attendance. The
fact that the big show is now entirely
completed is also big drawing card.
In the main building there was a
yeritable crush during the afternoon
and evening. Every section and every
aisle were overrun with visitors, and
the exhibitors have not experienced
such busy day since the great show
opened. There was n continuous Jam
OF people In the food section, where
free samples were distributed without
stint. and the machinery section was
also magnet for crowds OF interested
sishtseers. The same throngs took
possession of the Implement building.
On the Midway the amusement en-
" ~ 'SO9 "clc SIMPLY Overwhelmed by
the rush. and, incidentally, they coined
money all day long. Standing room
only was TO be had in number of
shows. and it was necessary for some
of the side shows which have limited
seating capacity to close their doors
time and again upon the crowds surg
ing TO gain admittance. In the same
manner the restaurants and lunch
cafes on the grounds were nearly
swamped. and their accommodations
were sorely taxed in catering to the
wants OF hungry multitude.
1t was noticeable that among the
crowds were many visitors from other
cities, especially from the south. TAX
ing re number of railroad coupon
tickets accepted at the turnstiles as a
bass of estimation. there were over
300 from Baltimore and Washington
alone. and in one party from Atlanta.
Ca, there were 80 exposition visitors.
The implement building, u section
or the exposition SO popular among
the farming classes, because of its
unparalleled display of agricultural
machinery, wagons. harness. ETC., Ia
also q favorite resort for music lovers.
Concerts are given daily, afternoon
and evening, in the implement build
ing by the Municipal band.
This week and next Damrosch's Or
chestra VIII give concerts In tho An
ditorium every afternoon and even

RAILROAD BUILT FOR CHILDREN
Its Train Hauled by Six Hundred Pound
Locomotive at the Export Exposition.

a. shS poit puSitlOu.
Philadelphia. Oct. 3.-The miniature
railway at the Export exposition, which
is operated on Vintage avenue, is the
greatest children's plaything at the
exhibition. The miniature railway is
built for the use of the smallest steam
railway train in the world 1t uses
coal for fuel. consists of ten passenger
coaches, with capacity OF two people
for each coach. The engine which
hauls this wonderful little train weighs
GOO pounds. as compared with the
100000 pounds OF an ordinary full
grade locomotive. 1t is faithful re-
production of the parts and workings
of a full sized locomotive. 1t is q
standard eight wheel American type,
only five feet four inches long, IS
inches wide and 38 inches from the rail
to the top of the smoke stack The
cylinders are two inches in diameter
only. The passenger cars are five feet
long and % inches wide. The train
runs at a speed of ten miles an hour.
The railway extends considerable
distance around the Main building.
and is eventually to be extended en-
tirely around the exposition grounds.
The children have no end of fun on
this little railway, and their mothers
and nurses are able to extract as much
enjoyment out of it as are the children
themselves.

Horse Collars Padded with Air.


Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-Horse collars
filled with air constitute an exhibit at
the National Export exposition of deep
interest to persons to whom the noble
horse appeals for kindly and humane
treatment. The strength of the col
lar lies in the bending of an iron tube,
upon which the entire collar is built
The iron tube is first covered with
heavy telling to prevent any contact
with the rubber air cushion. Outside
of this cushion another thickness of
heavy felting is placed between the air
bag and the outside covering, which Is
made of tough collar leather The pads
are air cushions, the air being con-
densed to degree to sustain any load
snd adapt itself to any shape of Shout
der, with the greatest ease and least
damage to the horse. It's action is q
rolling rather than a rubbing one.
However great the pressure caused by
the draft. when relieved of the same
the collar assumes its normal shape
and presents only small surface to
the horses shoulder, enabling it to
cool Immediately, thus preventing the
calling of the shoulder The trace at
tachments are secured TO the collar and
form part of 1t, and thus do away with
names.

Somebody's story of the editor who
locked up his dollar in his safe in order
to be sure of having it on Monday has
called out a host of good anecdotes
with regard to providing for future
contingencies The most ingenious de-
vice, to somebody's mind, was that of
the reporter who had no safe, and
would not trust anybody with his treas
ured dollar anyhow, but put it in a let
ter and mailed it to himself Saturday
night, sure that by no possibility could
he get it before on Monday A brighter
reporter put his dollar in a Sterling
where he always had his hand on 1t,
could speed it but never spend it.
