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,
IL you can, the delicate and beautiful
character of this unique work. Some
one has said 1t reminded the observer
of skillful confectioner's best
achievements In fancy wedding cake
many times exaggerated. The compar!.
son Is not inappropriate perhaps, for
the Exposition celebrates closer I'M
ion of the several Americas, and in the
original white the wonderful compo-
sltions of staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delicacy 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 carv-
ed 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 radiance Of
blues, reds and gold. Medallions Of
Ericsson and other famous men who
have given the world wonderful ma
chinery are surrounded with glow OF
color.
Difficult or impossible as it may seem
to the reader to employ brilliant colors
SO freely upon great building such as
this without destroying its grandeur
and cheapening its appearance, the
problem has been magnificeptly 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
colors that have been used is at once
observed, 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
| ed other Expeditions.

chlldren,s chrlstmas gifts.

eff instead of overloading our own
children with presents on Christmas,
we would give them less and lead them
to share some OF the gifts that would
otherwise be for themselves with some
children to whom none would otherwise
come, we would teach very useful
and needful lesson to our little ones.
The real enjoyment of any pleasure
comes from sharing 1t with some one.
Pleasures which we confine to our
selves simply make us selfish and
narrow. One of the last things which
Christ did on earth was to gather HIS
disciples around Him and have them
partalSe with Him of the bountiss of
His table And in this single act He
taught mankind one OF its greatest les
sons. Our children cannot be taugt
too early to let others pal take of their
pleasures. especially those whom cir
cuinstanoes have made less fortunate
in enjoy ing the pleasures of the word.
, In this way we shall simplify the
Christmasas OF our own children,
which will benefit them, and at The
same time make others ha py-which
| is, after all, one OF the most beautiful
and satisfying pleasures in life that we
can experience. NJ other feeling quite
reaches it. The happy sparkle in the
eye comes from the hand that is hello
out to others. edward Box IN the

EXPOSITION BEAUTY.

Early Hints of What the Visitors May See
of Nodded Plastic characterization and
Color Decorations at Pan-American Exc
position.
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 n
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 1t tough and
durable, the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance Of solidity ana
| massiyeness 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 II
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 1t
In delicate designs offered most for
bidding task. All four Of the broad
facades of the building have an arcad-
ed effect. Every window is deeply
recessed arch, with wide sofiits 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 ia
derived.
At the four corners of the great
building are four towers, with open
paviliona, so feet above the ground

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS GIVING.

"Our hearts are usually very much
larger at Christmas than our purses
writes Edward Box of "The Christmas
that Remains" In the Ladies' Home
journal. 1.-THE desire is to remember
everybody that we know. But our
means do not generally allow us to do
it. So we often pass entirely by Mt
Christmas people to whom a simple
Merry Christmas and nothing more,
would mean world of cheer and light
heartedness. Because We cannot give
what we would like to We think that
we should not give at all. The truth
is, whether We choose to acknowledge
it in 50 many words or not, that We
have grown go commercially and SO
artiticially minded in this country that
thousands Of us are prone to measure
our Christmas presents by the yardstick
Of intrinsic value, or by what the re-
oipients will think of them. We seem
to have entirely lost sight of the fact
that we can always give something.
Ard il we gave that something
We would really come closer to the
real spirit OF Christmss giving A
few cheerful words filled with that ex.
preston of strong good will, that is
like sweet perfume, have meaning
that only few realize. There is nothing
so pleasant in this world as the feeling
that one IS remembered, and this a
few written words will often convey
more strongly than gift. Yet we in
variably put tho gift first. Our re.
memhranue must take some inrm, we
| think, other than d mere verbal Of
written expression. And that is the
artificial within US; not the natural.
We seem to refuse to believe that it il
the simplest things we do that have
the greatest influence. 1t ia the sim
plest Christmas that remains.
