when Antipater of Sidon enumerated
seven great works that subsequently
became the Seven Wonders Of the
World, wonders have been accumulat-
ing until their number has become not
only seven times seven or seventy times
seven. but hundreds-yes, thousands
times seven.
Every great modern bridge is a won
der Of the world. So is every great
power engine. mountain climbing rail
road or modern hotel.
And the greatest wonder of all, great
er than any Of yesterday and today, is
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
This is because it combines the great
ness of all the others and because those
others were instrumental in bringing it
to a state Of completeness.
In order that the whole world should
participate in this centennial display,
the wonders of the steamship, Of the
locomotive, Of the cable, Of the land
telegraph, of the telephone, were
brought into use; then exhibits of these
wonders themselves were levied upon
to form part of the grand display.
Mention anything that causes man to
express amazement, and it will be
proved to you that it can be seen in st.
Louis this year.
The wireless telegraph? A station
aas been erected on the Fair grounds.
Radium? Experiments will be con-
Quoted with the puzzling mineral in the
Chemical Laboratory.
A modern gas engine? The largest in
the world will be seen in the Palace Of
Machinery.
Rihed cannon that throw a shell
twenty miles? They will frown on ram
| parts surrounding the Government
| building.

will swing around and around on a
turntable in the center of the Palace Of

the vicinity of Agriculture.
Dirigible airships? They will sail
over the prescribed course and when

That wonder which has almost ceased
to become wonder-the modern watch l?
You will be able to witness it's con-
struction and the assembling of its
| parts.
And upon these wonders are crowded
others-wonders that it would require
| page after page to describe, which it
will take week after week to view.
China, a sealed book to the world,
has been thrown open by royal decree.
For the first time in history secrets
which have been preserved from the
| days of Confucius will be revealed.
Art as it is known in Japan will as
tonish those who have only been able
to gain an inkling of it's existence from
the word pictures of Lott and other

commerce and it's coffee berry in bloom.
Peru reveals to the world her wealth
of "copper" cotton and petroleum.
Hawaii sends a glimpse of the Par

change the course of all ships that ply
the seas.

portation facilities within the last dec
ade; each step will be shown you at
st. Louis. You hear Of food that can
be compressed into a pill; how it is
done will be shown you at ST. Louis.
And you can partake of a course din
ner, from soup to dessert, all Of which
can be held in box which would con-
tain twelve two grain quinine capsules.
Creation of electricity! What won
der would not Franklin express could
he see modern dynamo manufacture
ing thousands of Jove's thunderbolts
every minute, forcing a tiny stream of
water to lift great weights! Marvel
then, at the powers of the hydraulic
press!
Can man make snow? Look into the
great refrigeration plant. Can water
be set on fire? 1t will appear so when
the cascades are Illuminated by sub
merged lamps after nightfall.
Planting potatoes is now done by
machine which takes the "earth ap-
