only hint at the wonders it contains,
The historical exhibit of locomotives is
one of the features. 1t shows the de-
velopment of rs years in locomotive
construction. Strange indeed is the
person who is not yet impressed with
these evidences Of mans long struggle
with the problem of rail transportation
the most civilizing of modern infu-
ences, next to the newspaper, which
must always stand first. To describe in
detail this exhibit would be long story
in itself, The exhibit is made COM
plete by the installation of the largest
locomotive ever built and by some
magnificent imported locomotives. We
cannot leave the Palace of Transporta-
tion without reference to the great
automobile show, the motor boats and
other water craft, and the great car
riage display 81
Now let us cross the flower gardens
to the Palace of Machinery just south
of Transportation. The huge power
generators are the first things to arrest
the eye-the Allis-Chalmers engine of
|. 5,000-horse power, the Curtis steam tur-
bine of S0OO-horse power. the Parsons
steam turbine of 5000 kiowatts, the
four Westinghouse generators of 5000
horse power each. and each as high as
house. And then other generators
great and small of all kinds-the most
wonderful display Of engines ever as
sembled. But these are not all. Think
of ten acres of glistening machines of
every kind and you have some idea of
the contents of the Palace of Machin-
cry.
We cross the lagoon to the eastward
and come to the beautiful Palace of
Electricity, with eight acres of exhib-
its from many countries which show
the marvellous development of cleo
trical science. To the north again over
one of the arched bridges we approach
the Palace Of Varied Industries, view
ing, its wonderful grace and splendor
as we so Here are IA acres of eX-
hibits from all over the world. The
Palace of Manufactures is the same
size and stands on the opposite side OF
the Plaza of st. Louis 1t is equally
interesting in the variety and newness
of its contents Here again the nations
of the world and the manufacturers
from all parts of the United States dis
play their best products.
Opposite the Palace of Manufacture
to the sluthward is the Palace of Edu-
cation, this being the first time that
education has been allotted a great
building all its own. A variety ol
schools in daily session are the feature
OF this eight-acre display. The two ex'
hibit buildings in the eastern part ol
the main group are Mines and Metal
lurgy and Liberal Arts. The Depart
ment of Mines and Metallurgy has 8

1t will be worth all the self-denial
that one may practice for several years
to see the Worlds Fair of 1904 at st.
Louis. Money saved, earned or bor-
rowed cannot be, better spent than in
getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest of eXpositions. All of us can
not travel around the world to take
note of what the nations are doing,
but The nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
!their best works to St. Louis to be
placed on display.
Within the two square miles of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.

the space before. 1t is great collec-

,is nearly twice as large as the Colum-
fbian exposition at Chicago, nearly ten
times larger than the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Every exhibit
spa5Rce offers the equivalent of splen-
! did exposition, each covering many
acres of space.
The largest of these is the Palace of
agriculture, with its 90 acres under
roof and filled to the doors with the
most wonderful agricultural collection
ever assembled upon any occasion
The important states and nations OF
the world are all here alongside great
numbers of individual exhibitors, Five
great staples have been chosen for ex-
traordinary display. Corn, cotton
