Kansas City Man Wishes to Low
er Exposition Visitors Into
an Aquarium Eight Feet
Deep.

Several suggestions for odd features,
concessions and exhibits for the Worlds
Fair were received at the Administration
building last week. Among them is a
concession calculated to satisfy visitors
nesearch of out-of-the-way places which
was applied for by G. K. Wheeler Of
Kansas City.
Mr.. Wheeler wants to give Exposition
water of the lagoons. In his letter, ap-
plying for the concession, he says:
81 wish to build close to the edge Of
the lagoon heavy box, say 12x2o feet. to
be large aquarium; submerged grotto
to be filled with sea fish, rocks, shells,
curious marine animals and things. Above
this box I would place electric elevators
built Of heavy material with sides of one
half inch glass. The elevators would be
waterproof. with air vents.
THE idea would be to lower fourteen
passengers and an attendant into about
minutes. the novelty being a TRIP trip beneath s6
the water. The elevators would take
ana discharge passengers on the ground
level. All installation above ground could
be made attractive SO that the scheme
would not interfere with the harmony of
the surroundings"
