EXPOSITION BEAUTY.
PUTTING THE RAINBOW COLORS ON
ONE OF BIG BUILDINGS.

Early Hints of What the Visitors
May See OF Nodded Plastic Orna-
mcntation and Color Decoration mt
Pan-American Exposition.
1t is now possible to go somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
ings of the Pan-American Exposition.
The most advanced of the buildings is
that to be devoted to machinery. The
staff upon the exterior of this edifice is
now nearly all in place, and the great
structure is in the hands of the color
artists.
Though very large building, 500 by
$50 feet, the four facades are SO bro
ken by architectural features that
there is nothing of monotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
tune to visit the. grounds during this
advanced stage of development unhes-
itatingly applauds the happy results of
both the architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have a
correct understanding let me first de-
scribe the nodded work with which the
exterior of the building is ornamented.
By means of the very ingenious pro-
duction known as staff, which is made
out of white plaster, into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed in order to make it tough and
durable, the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance of solidity and
massiveness as well as the beauty of
richly carved stone. But, since the
material is not stone, the idea of add
ing color to the work has been suggest
ed How to apply the color so that it
would heighten the beauty of the work
has taxed the ingenuity of the most
famous mural painter Of the world,
Mr.. Charles Y. Turner of New York.
The very intricate character of the
staff work and the vast amount of it
in delicate designs offered 4 most for
bidding task. All four of the broad
facades of the building have an arcad-
ed effect. Every window is n deeply
recessed arch, with wide soffits and
castings. Every entrance is composed of
one or more high arches, with massive
pillars at the sides, and every pillar
and plaster is of very elaborate detail.
Every window is grilled and finished
with fidelity to the most artistic ideas
of architects of the Spanish renais-
sance, from which the general archi-
tectural scheme of the Exposition is
derived.
At the four corners of the great
building are four towers, with open
pavilions, 80 feet above the ground.
Above the great arched entrances on

From Philadelphia Inquirer.

From Philadelphia Inquirer.
The word panic does not adequately
describe the condition of mind into
which the Bryanites have been cast by
the authorized announcement that many
OF the taxes made necessary by the Span
ish war would be lifted" by the next
Congress.
There is as yet no agreement apon the
question of the exact amount which will
be taken off. BY some authorities it is
placed at twenty millions. BY Others at
iorty millions. To be candid, no one
can estimate the exact amount, for the
reason that being contingent upon what
is either use or consumption, the official
figures of the receipts alone can deter
mine what the amocnt will be.
But that it will be substantial in char
acter no one doubts, and it is that fact
which has plunged the Bryanites into
hopeless CONSERVATION. An administra-
tion that can create surplus during a
time OF war and reduce taxation during
period when it has practically two wars
on its hands, is an administration which
they cannot hope to criticlse with any
hope OF effect.

MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING
the east and west sides are massive
domes. Two very tall towers rise above
both the north and south entrances
and help TO complete two wonderful
architectural compositions. Imagine,
If you can, the delicate and beautiful
character of this unique work. Some
one has said 1t reminded the observer
of a skillful confectioner's best
achievements in fancy wedding cake
many times exaggerated. The compari-
son Is not inappropriate perhaps, for
the Exposition celebrates a closer un-
ion of the several Americas. and in the
original white the wonderful compo-
sitions of staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delicscy of
one of these marvellous creations of
the confectioner.
But color has been added. and the
white has disappeared The likeness
is no longer there. The brilliant colors
that the Moors loved so steadfastly
hundreds of years ago in Granada and
Andalusia have been revived, better
than the originals. The majestic col
umns and fancy pillars look like cary
cd ivory. The arabesques have a
background of brilliant shades, such
as yellows, pinks and reds of varying
degrees of brightness. The round
domes have bands of green and other
shades. The roofs are all of red tile.
The broad caves are upheld by sub
stantial brackets that resemble rose
wood carved in intricate design The
lofty towers present a radiance of
blues, reds and gold. Medallons of
Ericsson and 6ther famous men who
have given the world wonderful ma
chinery are surrounded with a glow of
color.
Difficult or impossible as it may seem
to the reader to employ brilliant colors
90 freely upon great building such as
this without destroying its grandeur
and cheapening its appearance. the
problem has been magniiicently work
ed out, and the effect is not merely
pleasing and harmonious, but the work
is an artistic triumph that every person
from far and near will delight to see.
The wonderful harmony of the many
tolors that have been used Is at once
sbseryed, and there is no one feature
of the Exposition that has aroused
more popular interest than the great
color scheme. With the 20 or more
other big buildings. all aglow with col.
or and adorned with richly nodded
plastic work. the effect will, be pro.
found surprise to those who have visit.
