The electric searchlight that is be in.
stalled on the Electric Tower of the Pan
American Exposition is destined to at
tract much attention. Visitors to the
Worlds Fair may remember the great
searchlight operated there. 1t they do,
and desire to make comparison, they
may know that the searchlight of the
Pan-American Exposition will far sur
pass this Worlds Fair light in every
particular. The Chicago searchlight
was known as 36 inch protector. while
the Pan American searchlight for the
Electric Tower will be 80 inch projec-
tor. There is six inches difference in
the size Of these projectors, and the first
thought is that the Pan-American light
is the smaller. In one sense, it is, but
to this must be added the fact that the
30.inch protector of today is a far more
wonderful machine than was the 36-inch
protector of Worlds Fair days. This 30
inch protector Of the Pan American will
be the most wonderful light of it's kind
ever erected, and it will be operated on
the 36O-foot level of the Electric Tower.
In order to more definitely locate this
$50 foot level, it may be further pointed
out that i: is the level OF which the
Tower makes the last contraction, and
this is only 81 feet below the extreme
apex or highest point Of the Tower and
statue Of the Goddess Of Light that will
surmount it.
The beam from this searchlight will
fash through the sky with a brillancy
that will cause it to be seen for many
miles. 1t has been said that the search.
light used to light up the Whirlpool rap
ids of the Niagara gorge at night has
been seen at Wilson, which is IL or IA
milee away. The power of the Pan
American searchlight will be much
greater than the Niagara light, and il
will cast its rays from point $50 feet
above the ground. With these facts
known, one can imagine the many miles
from which it can be seen. No doubt
some nights will be more favorable thar
others, but it is safe to say that at {
distance Of at least so miles, the search
light of the Electric Tower of the Pan
American Exposition will be visible
This is moro than twice the distance be
tween the Exposition grounds and tn
Falls OF Niagara, and one can picture, ii
fancy, the magnificent, everascending
spray cloud of the great cataract illum

From Afric's bloodstained veldt,
Where men defend their homes,
A voice, born of desapir
Comes circling round the world:
"Is there no man in all this world,
This Christian, civilizing world,
"To help the hapless Boer?"
On whirlwinds' wings tits borne
To Europe's powers that be,
Imploring and appealing
In dignified agony:
"Is there no king in all this world
with sense Of knighthood left
ITO succor the oppressed?"

To presidential chairs.
No answer comes alas
From coward ruler lips.
What matters it to them .... ...

Destroys the homes of Beers?

OF many mighty streams
Repressed in underground.
