IN BEAUTY
: PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION AT Z
An Enterprise
Illustrating Progress the Western During
Nineteenth Century

AS a beautiful spectacle, the Pan
American Exposition will surpass any
former enterprise Of its character It
will delight and satisfy the eye, and
memory will long retain the picture
presented. The style of architecture
is free treatment OF the Spanish Re
Nuisance, and the architects have
made the most of the opportunity to
enhance its picturesqueness. The build
ings are covered with staff. which is
nodded into thousands OF fanciful
shapes, and color is used with such
excellent effect as to evoke the name
of Rainbow City" for the ensemble
of Exposition palaces. 1t is the first
attempt to produce a harmonious color
scheme at an exposition, and Is grand
success. Sculpture adds greatly to the
effect, majestic statues and costly mod
eled groups being upon the buildings
and bridges and in the courts. There
are more than 125 OF these grand
works, by the most noted sculptors OF
America. The court settings are SUI
perb. They take up more than 33
acres, approximately two and half
times greater than the area OF the
courts of the Worlds Columbian Expo
sition at Chicago. The hydraulic and
fountain effects are OF a superior or

and finest pipe organs ever constructed
in America, built TO order at a cost Of
$4,000 Entertainments OF a high or
der Of excellence will be given in the
Temple. In the band-stands in the
Music Gardens and elsewhere on the
grounds concerts will be given by
Sousa's Band of 100 pieces, the Next
can Government Band Of 67 pieces, and
other famous musical organizations.
In all the exhibit divisions the Pan
American is very complete II Is the
aim of the Exposition to show the
progress OF the nineteenth century in
the Western world. The exhibits are
gathered from all the principal states
and countries of the Western Henri
sphere and the new island possessions
Of the United States government. Spe-
cial efforts have been made to bring
together exhibits OF exceptional nov
city and OF the highest educational
value. The divisions, each of them
considerable exhibition in itself, are
as follows: electricity and electrical
appliances; fine arts, painting. sculp-
ture, decorations; graphic arts, typog-
raphy, TYPOGRAPHY, steel and copper
plate printing, photo-mechanlca proc
esses, drawing, engraving and book
binding; liberal arts, education, en-

der. In all the courts are large pools
OF water into which hundreds of foun-
tains throw their sparkling streams.
In all the courts and upon the grounds
outside the buildings are very elabo-
rate horticultural and garden effects.
The floral display is exceedingly fine.
Nothing which might contribute to
make a scene of loveliness has been
overlooked or omitted by the builders
Of the Exposition City.
With all its wonderful beauty by
day, the Exposition will be, like the
Cereus of Tropical America, a flower
of the night. Then will it blossom in
exquisite perfection. With all the
fountains playing amid floating lights
upon every golden, ripping pool; with
the great cascade shooting in veil-like
form from its niche in the Electric
Tower, which rises to a height of 391
feet; with more than 100000 electric
lights fringing every building and CIV
ing to every jet and ripple of water
a fantastic iridescence; with music
lending the charm of sweet sounds to
the harmony of color and sculpture,
flowers, foliage and fountains, the eve-
ming scenes at this Exposition will be
such as no lover of the beautiful will
permit to pass without at least one
determined effort to witness them.
An electric display, the like of which
has never yet been seen, is promised,
and this will be possible on account
of the nearness of the great plants
which have harnessed Niagara and
put its tremendous power to CONNER
cial use.
The sum of s10,00O,00o has been ex-
pended to pravide a magnificent spec
tacle and illustrate the achievements of
the nineteenth century. The Midway
alone cost 100000. and the variety
of novelties and their quality excel
the features OF any former amusement
enterprise at an exposition.
Music is an important feature of the
Exposition. The magnificent Temple
of Music, which has a seating capacity
of 2,20O, contains one of the largest

position. On the northern shore Of
the lake is situated the llfe-saving sta
ton erected by the government. Upon
the southern bank of the lake, beau
tiful casino and boat-house has also
been built by the city of Buffalo for
Exposition uses.
The symmetrical grouping of build
ings will be at once noted by the OBJ
server. Beginning at the formal APP
proach, just north Of the lake, the eye
follows northward between two rows
OF ornamental columns to what is
known as the Forecourt. East Of this
are the State and Foreign Buildings,
forming in themselves a very inter-
esting feature of the Exposition. Near
these, also, are the buildings for the
special ordnance displays. West OF
the Forecourt are the outdoor Horti-
cultural displays and the Women's
Building. We cross now the Trium-
phal Bridge, remarkable for its tall
piers richly ornamented with statues.
On either side are the Mirror Lakes,
which form part of the Grand Canal,
more than a mile in length, which
surrounds the main group OF buildings.
We come next to the Esplanade, which
is nearly two-ffths of a mile long
and 450 feet wide. The western end

into the tired eyes. Miss Polly left
the room, returning with a small box;
this she placed near the mirror, then
turned to the curious little black
trunk that Gyp knew contained her
seasures. Gyp sat up and looked
puzzled as Miss Polly dragged 1t over
to the CRATE One by one, they were
thrust into the glow of the flames. A
dainty silken gown, redolent with the
sweetness Of long-dead roses. q broken
fan, letters -ah so many, and a pic
ture that was held face down, and
Gyp struggled still closer, as a faint
moan came from Miss Polly's white
lips. 1t crumpled into ashes, and with
a quick movement, Miss Polly rolled
the little trunk back to its place,
empty, and resumed her seat before the
mirror. With def fingers che
loosened, brushed, and wound the
shining mass into picturesque disor-
der. Then-Shades Of the standards
that were, Miss Polly applied the
contents OF that small box; and Gyp
knew that the laughing girl in the pic
ture below the stairs was really his
Miss Polly.
In the days flat followed there came
a revolution into his small life. He
was actually left TO the care of Bridget,

part of Buffalo, adjacent to the large
and beautiful Delaware Park. They
are about one mile in length from
north to south, and half mile wide
There are $50 acres, including 1873 acres
Of improved park lands and lakes.
Entering the grounds by way of the
Lincoln Parkway, the visitor obtains
a magnificent view of the picture pre-
scented. In the immediate foreground
is a portion of Delaware Park, one of
the famous beauty spots of Buffalo,
with the Park Lake, the North Bay at
the left, and in the foreground south of
the bay, in course of construction. the
Albright Art Gallery, beautiful per-
manent building of white marble, the
gift of John J. Albright of Buffalo to
his fellow citizens, and costing over
100000 North of the bay is the New
York State Building, also a permanent
structure of marble. These two build
ings are in the style of Greek temples,
one containing reminders of the Par
thenon and the other resembling the
Erectheum upon the Acropolis at Ath-
ems.
Between the North Bay and the lake,
the city of Buffalo has built at large
expense new and beautiful bridge
OF heavy masonry, known as the
Bridge of the Three Americas. This
bridge carries the broad thoroughfare
which leads from the main southern
entrance to the approaches of the Ex-

of the Esplanade is enclosed by the
Horticulture, Graphic Arts, and Mines
Buildings. The eastern end is shut in
large buildings. Sunken gardens with
elaborate fountains and many groups
of sculpture occupy the two arms of
the Esplanade, and the decorative fea-
lures throughout this broad space are
very numerous and beautiful. North of
the Esplanade is the Court Of Foun-
tains, with the Ethnology Building on
the right and the Music Building on
the left. Two subordinate courts also
open into the Esplanade from the
north, the one on the east being known
as the Court of Expresses and the one
Next, north of the Ethnology Build
ing, on the right, and fronting upon
the Court Of Fountains, is the Manu-
features and Liberal Arts Building,
and on the opposite side the Machinery
and Transportation Building. In the
Court of Fountains is large pool, hav-
ing an area Of about two acres, and
containing many beautiful fountains.
Proceeding again northward, we come
to the Mall, broad avenue, half
mile long, extending from the eastern
boundary to the western gate Of the
Exposition. Fronting upon the Mall,
on the right, is the Agriculture Build
ing, and on the left the Electricity
Building. We now arrive at the most
conspicuous feature of the Exposition,
the massive Electric Tower. This
tower stands between the Court OF
Fountains and the Plaza, in broad
pool. about two acres in extent. I'm
mediately north Of the Electric Tower
is the Plaza with its beautiful sunken
gardens and band-stand in the center,

trance to tho Midway on the west.

continue for six months,

mead and the crumpled mass of paper
In her tightly clenched hands.
To the world at large it mattered
little that Edmund Garrett announced
his marriage to Louise Lotion; but to
the woman who had cast her youth
promise on the altar OF his ambition.
1t was flnality.
The fire died down. but Miss Polly
did not notice that. She was far away
In the byways Of dead years, and the
way was dark. Long ago one voice
had said: Wait, sweetheart. till the
tide comes in from the Fortunate
Isles" The tide came in, but the shin
that rode its crest was not for her.
The room grew chill. Gyp, the fox
terrier, came and thrust his cold nose
against her hands. Gyp was not
stranger to surprises, but the dark and
cold were new to him, and he snug
gled still closer. Suddenly Miss Polly
arose, lit the gas, and replenished the
fire. Gyp wagged his approval. This
was in his limit of things understood,
but it went beyond when Miss Polly
deliberately took her seat in front OF
the mirror, scrutinizing each feature
as If it were a face seen for the first
time. Masses of fluffy hair drawn Sc
verely from the pale oval Of a wistful
face, lit by the clear, gray of the black
fringed eyes-a face, in which youth
had died; as yet untouched by age. A
long time those two gazed at one an
other, Miss Polly, and the weary wom
an that fronted her; then Gyp beheld
transformation. Across the sweet
cure of the patient mouth, there grew
a hard, tense line, and a new fire leapt

The Englishman has found death in
his pot OF beer. 1t appears that some
of the brewers have been "trating' the
national drink with sulphuric acid
made from iron pyrites, which con-
tains arsenic, and that the poison has
passed with the sulphur into the brew
ers' sugar, a product of starch, in guam
tity sufficient to produce serious con-
sequences and widespread alarm.
Many cases of alcoholic neuricis have
been traced to this cause in Birming-
ham, Liverpool and Chester, and nearly
500 are reported from the district OF
Stafford alone, Of which sixty-one have
proved fatal. The growing use of min
eral chemicals, in the preparation of
foods as well as of drinks. may
threaten civilization with a new brood
of diseases.

War on ~ ~

That the length of a mans life is
much greater now than 1t was half
century ago is shown by statistics,
Notwithstanding all the talk Of the
good old days. Millions of years have
been added to the aggregate number
lived by man. These years have been
gained mainly by the war on microbes.
So long as the microbe was unknown
as the cause CT nearly all disease medi-
cine was mere guesswork, while sur
