music while soaring off into boundless
space. Entering the atmosphere OF the
moon, the ship dropped slowly toward
a sea of sunlit clouds and passing
through it, made landing in the moon
Guides met us on the landing dock and
showed us to the wonderful under
ground city of the moon with its pal
aces and shops and hordes of queer
people, and then on to the marvellous
palace of "The Man in the Moon
where all were welcomed by his mai
esty and entertained with a revel
of the "Maids of the Moon"
Once more on terra firma, we went
across the street to witness the magnif'
cent sacrifice of President Lowrey who
died for us, giving realistic representa-
ton of departed spirit whose life on
earth had been most exemplary. Here
too, in this "Cave of Death" we wit.
messed the punishment melted out to
scandal mongers, umbrella borrowers,
delinquent subscribers and other offend
ers. After the seas of fire were passed
beautiful scenes to delight the eye ap-
peared, "Dawn" being spectacular
elimination of superb electrical and
scenic effects.
In the Volcano of Kilauai was beheld
a faithful reproduction of the Burning
Mountain of the Sandwich lies. Un-
earthly, Weird! Ruggedly Horriblel
How Sublimel How Awful! Pliny should
have lived to have seen Pele's face, and
then would have lived pen-picture
worthy the great Roman historian, and
Gustav bore, midst Kilauas sulphurous
mists, could have conjured up inspira-
tions that would have made his illustra-
tions of the divine Dante's Inferno"
more consumately hellish. Oh, the
awful sublimity of its cavernous depths
of carmine fires, its livid streaks of liquid
fiery hells broth. No picture of Hades
could convey more anguish to soul, more
internal torture to mind than a glimpse
into this counterfeit presentment of the
"Fiery Lake Of HelL-mGu-n0M
Next to the theater we visited the
Hawaiian village where was found the
now famous Native Band of Hawaii,
whose music, especially the Hawaiian
national airs, was delightful. In the
Hawaiian theater were seen Queen Lii
iuokalani's own Hullu Hull dancing
girls who danced their graceful measure
as it is only danced before royalty.
Urged by patriotism, visit was paid
to the great electric cyclorama, the Bat
production of the great battle between
the Union and Confederate armies,
which occurred Wednesday, Novem-
Der 70, 1868. Here grape and canister
and shot and shell SOW the ground with
rugged iron, and strew it with wound
ed and dead. Mission Ridge seems
volcanic with its belching fire, as the
great line of blue, directed by Generals
Grant, Thomas, Sheridan, Granger,
Meigs, Hunter, and Reynolds, slowly
surges to the crest, where Bragg and
his Confederates are at last crushed
and annihilated.
In the Filipino village an opportun-
ity was afforded us to learn just how
our new possessions look. Here were
found representatives from all the
races inhabiting the islands, ranging
from cannibalism to the highest degree
of civilization. The industries of the
islands are here seen. In the theater is
given an entertainment by natives, in
Guiding the great Bolo Sword Dance,
danced for the first time in this
country.
Then came the visit to see baby cul-
ture, an exhibition of the Infant Incu-
bators, from the London and Berlin
Institutes having for its object the
saving of the lives of the poor little
unfortunate babies who happen to
have been prematurely born. Here,
surrounded with everything sweet and
dainty, we saw the little cherubs, nestl-
ed in the aluminium and glass cabinet
incubators, just like little chicks, being
coaxed into sturdy life by the aid of
science.
The sacred spectatorium, Jerusalem,
and the Crucifixion of Christ was APP
preached with reverential step. The
eyes fill with tears, and the heart grows
exceedingly tender az you gaze upon
the sublime sacrifice. Before you is
Golgotha. The Saviour of all mankind
upon the cross, surrounded by guards,
with the rabble standing apart. Only
a few Of the faithful are seen. They
endeavor to comfort Mary, the Holy
Mother of the Crucified Lord. The
Holy City of Jerusalem backs this
grand group of the. atonement. 1t is
all sublimely realistic, and the most
is capable are aroused by the group at
the Cross.
The Land of the Midnight Sun, Daw-
son City, presented series of skill
fully worked-out transformation scenes
assisted by elaborate electric scenic
effects, depicting trip to Dawson City
and terminating in the awful destruc-
ton of that city as it occurred in jan
uary of this year.
The Indian Congress was an excell-
ent attraction left until the end of the
midway sightseeing so that the last
impression might be especially a pleas
ing one. Here were congregated 700
Indians, representing AZ distinct tribes
and living in their aboriginal and prim-
tive state. Fifteen famous war-chiefs,
Indian rough riders, Indian dances,
sports and pastimes, the Sioux maiden
champion rifle shot of the world were
seen, together with 500Indians in real
istic sham battle. No such lesson in
history could be CLEANED from books as
was there shown.
With the doing of the Indian Con-
gress, the editorial Pi-Utes had put the
finishing touches on the midway. Tues
day and Thursday had been spent in
this way, and, although the members of
the party could never have found their
way out had they been dropped down in
the vicinity of the Art Building, if we
startad on thp midway we could make
