PUTS GONDOLIERS
OUT OF BUSINESS
Cascades Cease TO Play and La-
goons Will Remain Empty Un- ,
til Conduits Are Repaired.


Gondoliers and the sailor men who steer
the craft that ply on the waters Of the
Worlds Fair lagoons were put out Of bus
iness yesterday, temporarily at least. Tho
hgoons were emptied OF their 1900, 800
gallons OF water and the Cascades ceased
to play while the electricians set about
repairing the electric conduits, which pass
under the lagoons.
In these conduits are contained the mass
Of wires that convey light and power to
the great palaces of the Exposition. The
immense volume OF water was turned into
the wooden box which imprisons the River
des Peres, and II was not long until that
erratic little stream was a raging torrent
Yesterday morning $50 electricians went
to work to repair the conduits which are
under the bed of the iagoons, and which
are so close to the waterways that water
leaking from the iagoons interfered with
the service Great drain pipes were flrst
opened to turn the water into the river.
The water viii not be seen In the la9oonS
again until possibly next Saturday, a. Il
will take that long to repair tho conduits
1t will require thirty hours to renn the
lagoons.
In order to do the work Of repairing
them the workmen will have to erect walls
OF concrete one and one-hah feet thick
across the lagoons. Nine of these walls
each fifteen feet long. will be necessary.
