tne only Russian building on tbe
grounds. In here is the Office Of tbe
Westinghouse concern. The place l.
niied with rare Russian wares, a table Is
set in rich Russian style, and the ma,d

guests. 'po0'''
mere Is great deal more machinery
IN motion than there was at Cbicago
and everything is run by electricity
inere is no steam on the ground except
that used by a toy locomotive. The ar i.
position company pays $4OO, 900 for 4o.-
wv morse power, more or less, which
nights the grounds, including "The
Pike" runs the Intramural Railway and
turns every wheel within the inclosure.
IN chicago 2i,O00 horse power was found
70 DC sufficient. Here, however, one Of
the notable features is the exhibition ~
processes and machinery in motion. and
q vast amount of merchandise is manu-
1actured daily upon the grounds. ten
times as much as was ever shown at an
exhibition before, and all that REQUIRES
power.
1t is estimated that more than tw;ce .s
mach money has been expended here as
at Chicago. A close calculation credits
the exhibitors with expendine S5O. 600
ooo in preparing, installing and caring
ior their exhibits, which is an average
Oh $4,000 for each exhibit. That ,s con-
sidered a very low estimate. Several
single exhibitors have spent more than
$lOO,0O0. The Westinghouse exhibit
cost half million, but that COMPANY
and others are being reimbursed to the
extent OF 100000 by the exposition as
compensation for power furnished. The
Ailis Chalmers exhibit Of machinery
cost not less than $4,000, the Pullman
exhibit cost $3.50, 900, while several rail-
way companies and individual exhibitors
spent more than $100, 900 in preparation.
installation and maintenance. The most
valuable individual exhibits are the dia-
monds in the French section of the man.
ufactures building and the diamonds
and gold dust in the mining building.
Each is estimated ut 81 ,OOO, 600.
The United States government spent
III ,SoO,SS0 for its building and exhibit.
but more than half of it will be saved
and applied on the Lewis and Clarl, Ex-
position, which is to be held next year
at Portland, Oregon. Germany has ex-
pended $i,5OO,0O France and Japan at
least 81 10000 each, Great Britain
$foO,uUV, ana otner foreign governments
bring the total up to at least 81, ,000, 900.
The several States have appropriated
nearly $S,000,0 900 for their buildings, ex-
hibits and other expenses Of representa-
ton. The legislature OF Missouri con-
tributed 81 ,0OO,O 900, New York $4O0, 900,
Pennsylvania 100000, Illinois and Ohio
$250,0O0 each, and others in proportion.
Mississippi appropriated $4,000.
"Beauvoir" cost sic, 900, and splendid
showing for the money is made From
its entire exhibit Commissioner Henry
expects to be able to return about SIC, 200.
The investment of money in the shows
and freaks on the Midway, which they
call "The Pike" up here, has not
been less than $l,500,O00, and various
other concessions, like the reproduction
Of Jerusalem, the Boer war and smaller
enterprises, represent an expenditure OF
at least 81 100000 or more.
