development of electrical energy-the
boilers, engines and generators, which,
by a system of invisible wires, supply
not only the floor above, but all the
other buildings and the grounds, with
light and power.
On the great ground floor and sus-
pended from the ceiling are shown the
myriad devices by which the strange
intangible fluid is turned to practical
account-motOrs of every kind, from
the mammoth machines which operate
mills and street railways down to the
little device that drives a sewing ma
chine or rotates a desk fan; lighting
apparatus. from the 10000 candle pow
er battery which sends n dazzling flash
40 miles out to sea from lighthouse
tower down to the tiny bulb that rests
in the chalice of Il lily or scintillates
from the white eXpanse of an actors
shirt front; electric heaters for build
inSS, rooms cars. pancake griddleS,
sadirons and curling tongS: electrical
signs. electrical toys, electroplatinS
plants. ocean cables. switchboards and
everything pertaining to the telephone
or telegraphy.
The chief exhibits of apparatus for
the ueNeiOpIllpuC OF eleclTlciI are uidtie
by the French. English, German and
American firms. Other countries are
not progressive in this direction. The
Paris exposition managers have agreed
to pay the foreign companies a fixed
amount for the installation of plants to
supply electrical energy to the grounds
and buildings. and n significant fact is
disclosed by the contracts. All these
cover Il period of 205 dayS-from April
Il to Nov. =. with n clause permitting
the exposition to prOlong the contract
at discretion for Il period of 80 days
more. SO il appears there is n posi-
bility of the exposition remaining open
~ consecutive months. which would
become new record of duration for an
interna tiOnal fair.
All the electrical exhibits of the Unit
ed States section are placed in this
building, as well as some of the ma
chinery, but the heavy exhibits of the
latter class will be located elsewhere.
and electricity departments of the
United States is approximately $4,000
square feet. This amount is divided
into three sections. consisting of
space on the main floor adjacent to the
French exhibits of the same class. 4
gallery space opposite one of the main
entrances which is known as the Salon
d Honneur and which is devoted to
exhibits of a purely noncommercial

proscenium arch of the cavity is lou
feet wide, with a depth of 80 feet.
1t takes a lot of water to operate this
attra ction, and the river Seine furnish
es it, About 100000 gallons per hour
are drawn from the storage reservoir
just outside of Paris and piped to the
apex of the arch of the Chateau Eau.
Its first tumbling act is n sheer drop of
80 -feet-thiS to make n Niagara river.
After the first leap it gurgles in grace
full cascades through a series of basins,
LAYING the feet of numerous naiads,
tritons and other aqueous genii in its
downward course until finally it drops
into receiving reservoir at the foot Of
some monumental balusters.
In the center of the cascade is set an
allegorical sculpture 80 feet high repre-
senting Humanity Guided by Prog
ress Advancing Toward the Future"
AT night colored lights play upon the
falling waters, imparting to the grotto
the semblance of Il series of electric
fountains.
Towering above the Chateau d'Eau,
with the browning statue DO feet from
the ground, the visitors strolling along
the Champ de Mars will behold the
splendid facade of the palace of cleo
trfcity. This structure has II frontage
of 80 feet and extends back nearly a
quarter of Il mile. The upper part of
the building is an elaborate compost
ton of stained glass windows, deep
bays and numerous turrets, suggestive
of lacework or Il gigantic piece of en-
broidery. The sculpture which crowns
the facade represents the genius of
electricity.
The interior of the palace of electrici-
ty is divided into three parts-a grand
central court and two Quadrilateral
spaces in the wings. In the basement
are installed the several plants for the

Of human progress. Why? Because
within the exposition walls are ar
ranged examples of the finest and best
that art and science and architecture
and industry have produced, not alone
in France, but in all the lands of all
the earth.
So big is this great show of Paris
and on such an extensive scale has the
exposition been created that it is some
what difficult to reduce its splendors to
a simple and understandable whole.
You must remember, then, that it is a
city within a city.
OF this inner city there are several
prominent features. In the first place.
there are IS palaces, each devoted to
some special class of displays, which
have been built by the exposition man
agement. Half the space in these IS
palaces is occupied by exhibits which
are purely French. The other half is
distributed among 56 nations of the
world. Two of these palaces are per-
manent structures meant to last for all
time.
Then there is the avenue of nations
where the various governments have
erected paviliOns for their special eX-
hibitS. These form Il long row along
the banks of the Seine. Some nations
have more than one building. The Unit
ed States, for instance, has erected
four annex buildings in which are in
stalled exhibits for which there was no
room elsewhere.
On the other side of the Seine is old
Paris, with accurate reproductions of
the famous and historic old buildings
which have long since been swept out
of existence by the relentless broom Of
Mile. Progress.
Spanning the Seine are beautiful
bridges. Running through the grounds
are grand boulevards. Scattered here

character and a second gallery space
which is used for the lighter electrical
exhibits.
Precisely on the same spot where
stood the palace of liberal arts at the
Paris exposition of 1889 stands the
palace of education of 1900. The build
ing, which cost $357.OOO. stands close
by the Eiffel tower and in size and
general features is the counterpart of
the palace of mines and metallurgy,
its next neighbor. \ very original GU
pola surmOunts the porch, in which
the student of architecture will detect
Il strange commingling of the renais-
sance, Louis XIV. Byzantine and the
nineteenth century styles. Like all
the other buildings, the color is white
The first feature inside the doorway
is three large groups of sculpture.
These personify Science, Letters and
Art. on this floor a large concert hall
is provided, where performances Oh
the various instruments shown in the
building are given both during the day
and in the evening.
The educa tional exhibits are divided
into three classes. the first rela ting to
liberal arts of the past and forming Il
retrospective section of the highest in
terest, the second pertaining to the
present state of art and science while
the third gives intellectual workers Il
splendid glimpse of the futurity of civ
iliZation. Here are shown all that per
tains to the organization and equip
ment of schools and colleges.
OF the various national buildings
which rise in an impressive row on the
banks of the Seine the pavilion of your
Uncle Sam makes IL very creditablc
showing. 1t is not, so ornate as the
Russian pavilion nor so massive as
that of Great Britain, but the building

given point in an hour. To build and
operate this transportation system, in
Guiding the sum paid for the conceS-
sion, costs the company over 81, 400, 900.
The fare is 10 cents, and the platforms
run IA hours each day. To make any
money the average daily receipts must
exceed $1,000. an average of 5000 pas
sengerS per hour.
The financial outcome and the atti-
tude of the visitors are being watched
with great interest. Should it prove an
unqualified success it does not take the
gift of prophecy to foretell the installa-
tion of similar platforms opposite the
second story windows on many busy
retail streets in large cities, with all
the changes in store methods which
this would bring about.

Old Paris will attract students and
sightseers of all nationalities. This de-
partment at the Paris exposition of
1900 is a reconstruction of the old city
of Paris. Old Paris stands upon a
platform of piles extending on the
Seine from the Alma bridge to the Je-
na bridge. having a river frontage of
about 800 feet and surface covering
about 10000 square feet. 1t reproduces
the streets and buildings of the time of
Louis NH and NV and fills them
with the people, costumes and dresses
of that period
Perhaps the most novel of the French
exposition palaces is the palace of ma
chinery and electricity. which the Pa
risians are fond of calling the Chateau
d Eau, or water palace. Out of an or
nate and spectacularly beautiful IA

Whatever else they may lack, the
French are the masters of show max
ing Every visitor to the Paris eXposi
ton of 1900 must admit this.
There on the banks of the Seine and
in the very heart of their gay and
beautiful capital they have fashioned
out of steel and wood and stone and
clay a fairy city which they have bid
the world to come and look upon. RiS-
ing between two centuries, they have
made visible summary of the past and
set it off with n tangible forelook into
the future. There you may see well
housed the history of the old century
and builded prophecy of the new.
When you have made intelligent and
unhurried inspection of what the Paris
exposition has to offer, you are amply
equipped to begin the twentieth centu
ry with a wide grasp on the knowledge

States, said in a recent interview,

newspapers, postoffice, writing and
reading rooms-in short, every modern
convenience is to be found in the build
ing, and no other national pavilion is
as complete in these respects.
But l know what you are wanting to
learn most of all. What is the striking
feature of the exposition, the "clou,"
as the French have it? Is it the old
Eiffel tower? Most certainly not. This
relic of II years ago is still an attrac
ton, to be sure, but its newness has
gone. The exposition directors have
painted it lemon yellow, after many
color experiments, and it serves as n
landmark for people who easily lose
their sense of direction. But it is not
the ''clou.''
Neither is the ATareorama, in which
you may take journey around the
world. nor the Topsy Turvy house,
nor lie Grande Lunette, which is the
big telescope. nor the panorama of the
Swiss mountains. All these are novel
ties. But they have about them some
thing bizarre. They are too artificial.
Perhaps, after all, the moving side
walk is the novelty which is most pop
ular and which will be most talked
about long after the exposition gates
are closed. The moving sidewalk e.

from the Place de Ia ConcOrde to the
Champ de Mars. a distance of about
IL miles. The park of the art palaces
and the ESplanade des Invaiides are at
the eastern end of the long stretch and
the Champ de Mars and the park of this
TrocaderO at the west.
The principal entrance to the EXPOSE
ton is at the side of the Place de ia
ConcOrde. 1t is a triumphal arch or
gate. the work of NJ. Binet. Il distin
guiShed architect. 1t is an isolated
building. the cupoIa of which covers
500 square meters. while the entire sur
face covers $500 meters. The archi-
tect'S aim was to allow 10000 persons
to enter through this arch every 90
minutes. and as there are % exits,
branching out to right and left like
fan. it seems he has succeeded.
The exposition covers Il total surface
of about 536 acres. The ESpla made of
the Invalides is about 1000 feet long
by LOO wide and on this two fair
buildings stand. These are devoted to
French industries. to the Industries
dealing with the decoration and furni-
ture of buildings. etc. Between them,
running to the new bridge, is an av-
enue.
Across the river the palace of indus
try. a relic of the exposition of 1855,
has disappeared. and in its place arise
the two new art palaces which will be
permanent These are the great and
the smaller art palaces and are sepa-
rated by the Aventie Nicholas. leading
to the new bridge. The building called
the Smaller palace" the Petit palace,
was so named only because the other.
the Grand palace, is so big. This
smaller palace contains the collections
of Tart retrOspectif," sort of cen
tennial exposition illustrative of the
history of art. With its larger neigh
Dor across from it on the west side of
the avenue the smaller palace cost over

has a facade 500 feet long, and the
salon will be held in it in future years.
One of the structures put up spe-
cially for the Universal exposition is a
great new bridge, the bridge of Alex
ander III, so called in honor of the
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-05-26

Nicholas II laid the first stone of this
bridge on Oct. 4, 1896. 1t is built of
steel. with ornamentation of marble,
and is $50 feet long and $50 feet wide
There are three other bridges cross
ing the Seine between the two banks
on which the exposition sits. These
bridges are those of the Invalides, the
Alma and .Jena-reSounding names all
but the new bridge of Alexander III
is one of the great sights OF the fair.
1t unites the avenue running length

form. both mounted on a structure OF
iron % feet above the ground, with ten
stations reached either by steps or aux
iliary sliding inclined planes. Two
hundred motors, each working indie
pendently, keep the platforms in mo-
ton. The first platform, which moves
alongside the station. has speed OF
only 21a miles per hour. The second
platform, which is alongside and NOV
ing in the same direction as the first,
has a speed of five miles per hour and
is provided with seats and an outer
guard rail. 1t is just as easy to step
from the slower platform to the faster
as it is to pass from the station TO the
first.
Passengers cover the entire course in
about 25 minutes, and it has been COM
puted that $4,000 persons can pass a

topped with the big eagle and flying
the stars and stripes from many staffs,
is a very handsome one, as many be-
sides Americans have admitted.
They say there is no such thing as
American architecture, but somehow
this fine structure seems to remind you
of our great federal buildings at home.

and there are magnificent pieces of

a splendor of it's own. New wonders
and beauties catch the eye at every
turn. The list of novel amusements de-
vised to divert the exposition visitor is
bewilderingly long.
