 From the artietic field the car travels
 westward to the barracks and carn< ground. where military schools and na. tinal guard organizations win have quar. ters and will drill almost every week oi the Exposition. one-third of our thirty. six minutes has been consumed. One side of the Worlds Fair has been seer through car windows. The route turns southward. It does not miss anything On the right is the great Indian Indus trial Building with Indian villages scat tered in front. The building Is so ar ranged that on one side of 1t are seen the classes of an Indian school number ing one hundred pupils, being taught the various trades. On the other side are the grandparents of these pupils making ar rows, weaving baskets, beading mocca. sins and carrying on the original indus tries of the American aborigines. To the left Is seen an elaborate exhibit of switch houses and tracks to illustrate the signal system in its best development as. made in Germany"
 Beyond the Indians is the crop map of the United States. Spread over six acres of fertile hillside Is an outline map of the States with crops characteristic of them marking the location and bounda- ries of them. It is geography taught iu vegetation.
 On the edge os Arrowhead Lake, in the valley, is the station of the Intramurai which promises to be one of the most ire quented on the route. Arrowhead Lake long and narrow, bounds the Philippines Reservation on the east and on the north. It is crossed by three bridges, the middle one of which is patterned after the fa- nous Puenta de Espana of the Pasie River at Manila. This bridge leads to a section of the ancient walled city and into the royal gate. On a rising slope are located q dozen large buildings nearly all of them reproductions of well-knowu structures in the city of Manila These buildings contain the 60,000 exhibits of forestry, ethnology, education and agri- culture from the Philippine Islands; 4Ot Filipino soldiers will live in the walled city; 600 natives, representative of the TagaIoss the vlsayans ana tine Eulds viii inhabit Filipino villages scattered amona the exhibit buildings. A Filipno band oi eighty musicians will play in the plaza The reservation will require whole days to satisfy curiosity and interest. A pass ing view within the space of a minute is the Intramural schedule. From Arrow head Lake the course is eastward with an irrigated farm on one side. There are shown the level fields. growing crops and ditches. the measuring boxes. tanks, and the entire irrigation system.
 Many visitors will carry away from the Exposition an impression that the grand est of exhibit buildings Is the Palace of Agriculture. It stands on an elevation higher than other exhibit Palaces save that of Art and that of Horticulture. The ground slopes from It on both fronts and at the northern end. This Palace is the largest Exposition structure ever erected for a single department. It presents a front one-third of a miles in length. Its roof covers az much ground as Is includ- ed in many truck farms. In every direc- tion from the Palace of Agriculture arc exhibits pertaining to the de- partment. There are ten acres in roses There is a floral clock the minute hand of which weighs 2.5o0 pounds. To walk the length of the aisles in the Palace of Agriculture means a tramp of four miles Two acres are covered with the exhibits of breakfast foods.
 On the north side of the Intramural if the Palace of Fish, Game, and Forestry 800 feet in length. Great pools occupy a considerable portion of the interior, show ing fish and water life of various kind The game includes groups of living birds
 Many things of interest are crowded or the vision as the route turns into SkinkeI road and southward. The pavilions oI Canada and of Ceylon and the life-savine lake are on the right. On the left is the beautiful garden of Versailles, with the Grand Trianon. From SkInker road there Is a glimpse first of the great steel framed buildings, severely plain occu- pied by the boilers and fuel. Within thii building is born the power which stands for the concentrated pull of 40.OOt horses. Beyond Is the Palace of Machin. cry. wherein is applied in countless ways that power. Makers of all that pertain to the generation and application of pow CT have placed their products on duty to be judged as merits are shown by actual performance. Hundreds of thousands ui square feet of space are occupied. Ev. anywhere. save only the aisle, Is the mov- ing. working machinery. One engine ls as large as an average three story house Tha power which runs the -Intramural car comes from 4 collection of machinery exhibits supplied by exhibitors from fivt nations and from seven States.
 Southward the. car climbs a gentle slope. frcm which in the distance car be seen a side view of the colonnade O States and Festival Hall, the marble Palace of Art, which win be the endurint monument of the Exposition Nearer ar,
