At the completion Of the new dam

At the completion Of the new dam
the water pipe supplying the Electric
Lighting plant it was found to be
lower at the condensing pump than
the water at the dam. With only a
small valve to hold the water back
from the large cylinder and when this
valve dropped out OF place it took but
a moment for the water to flow into
the cylinder which caused the break.
The Consolidated Water Power COM
pany are now furnishing part of the

TRANSPORTATION IN SIAM.
Quaint and Gorgeous Water Craft and
Buggies Made Without Metal
Of ANY Sort

Slams exhibit in the department Of
transportation at the worlds fair will
embrace many interesting novelties.
Bangkok is known as the Venice Of the
east. The great alluvial plain Of south
ern Siam is threaded with thousands Of
miles Of canals, which serve as the thor
oughfares Of the country. While in the
north and the less low lying regions the
rivers and rapid flowing streams serve
the same purpose.
The Siamese are an aquatic people and
as a result there is no nation in the
world probably that can show such a
number and variety Of styles Of floating
craft as can Siam. All these are repre-
scented at the worlds fair from the dell
cate little priests canoe, so nicely ad-
justed to its burden of a single person
that it's gun wales are scarcely above the
ripple of the surface, and its balance is
so nice and its poise so graceful. that it
appears a marvel on the waters. to the
splendid big rice boats, which for util-
| ity, strength and form, as cargo boats,
are scarcely surpassed in the world,
There are hundreds of models shown
and many full-sized boats, for the quiet
lagoons, the rougher streams and the
open waters of the gulf.
The vehicles for land transportation
are almost as numerous and varied II
type. The various packs for the bacl
of bullocks, ponies and men, chairs ant
sedans, and the howdahs for the ele
plants, are grouped with a great variet,
Of carts and sledges or drags, covere'
and open as the case may be.
One particularly ingenious example
a full-sized buggy. made entirely o
wood and plated bamboo even to tn
springs, the whole being absolutely de
void of iron. There are also full-size
bullock carts. A popularity Of all thes
~conveyances is that they are constructe
throughout without a nail or any iro
whatever.
The Siam building Is one Of the beat
tiful structures among the foreig
buildings, between Mexico and Nic'
ragua.

ART AT ST. LOUIS.
The Building Devoted to 1t Is a Model
Of Its Kind in Many
Ways.

The Art Palace OF the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition differs in one impor-
tant essential from the art buildings
at Chicago and those at Paris. All
the exhibits will be installed upon one
iloor-there will be no upstairs gal
leries. no long s~taircases to ascend
and descend. The authorities of the
department demanded the observation
of four conditions in the planning of
the Art Palace; first, that the galleries
should be adequately lighted; second,
that they should be well ventilated;
third, that the buildings should be so
arranged as to afford the free circula-
ton of large numbers of visitors with
out danger Of congestion, and, fourth,
that the structures should be freproof.
The Art Palace is located upon a
hill south of the main group Of ex-
hibit buildings and is entirely isolated
from other exhibition structures. 1t
consists Of four ~pavilions, the aggre-
gate length of the front Of which is
800 feet and the depth 450 feet. The
central structure is Of brick and stone
and is permanent, The two side pa
vilions, which are temporary struc-
tUres, are Of brick with decorative de-
tails in stan. IN the real of the Art
Palace provision is made for an elab-
crate system Of decorative gardens,
with fountains, flowers and ornamen-
tai shrubbery. A special pavilion is
provided for sculpture. Certain pieces
of statuary appropriate to the posi-
ton have been installed outdoors. In
the immediate neighbOrhood Of the Art
Palace many large forest trees have
been left standing, which add much
to the beauty Of the general effect.
The Art Palace contains 1874 sky-light-
ed galleries, a large court for the ex-
hibition Of sculpture, and a number Of
side-lighted galleries especially well
adapted for the exhibition Of works
belonging TO certain groups Of the
classification. For sculptural decora-
ton as applied to architecture there
are special galleries opening into the
sculpture court Of the central pavil-
ion, so that these exhibits, closely re-
lated both to sculpture and arehitec-
ture, may be installed, practically. with
both.

II IS TO EAT.
Big Pure Food Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair Covering Three Acres.

Three acres Of everything that Is
good TO eat and drink! This is one Of
the attractive features OF the great pal
ace Of agriculture at the worlds fair
And the best part Of it is that the visitor
is invited to sample the dainty viands or
wholesome beverages and satisfy him
self as to their merits.
Chief Taylor appointed Paul Pierce to
superintend this food exhibit, the first
Of a universal scope ever to be made.
Mr.. Pierce is a son Of the late United
States Senator Pierce, Of North Dakota,
and for ten years has been editor and
publisher Of a journal devoted to the
interests of pure foods.
Space for this attractive exhibit has
been assigned in the central nave Of the
Agricultural building. the largest Of the
exposition structures, and one Of the
most appetizing exposition displays
ever contemplated is shown every day
OF the fair,
Not only are the foods Of the world
shown, but each exhibitor gives demon
s%tr2tions Of the qualities of his wares.
Thus the breakfast food manufacturers
are not content with showing a pyramid
Of pacl ages. and their food in bulk, but
n|eatly-clad girls prepared and serve all
the dainty dishes of which the food is
the principal ingredient. Baking pow
der manufacturer employ experts who
serve the lightect and fullest Of bis.
cults. and in order to make them II
greater demand serve them with thu
best creamery butter and syrup or fruit
The fruit pr%eservers and the pickle
manufacturers have taken large blocks
Of space and have several hundred
varieties that the worlds fair visito
may select samples from at will.
The chocolate and cocoa interest
make a great bid for popularity. A Gu.

HYMN OF THE WEST.
Poet Stedman Has Written the
Worlds Fair Hymn-HRs
Been Set to Music.

Western folk will be charmed by the
beautiful hymn written by Edmund
Clarence Stedman upon the invitation
Of the worlds fair management. He
calls 1t the Hymn Of the West" a title
BETTING so splendid a production. 1t
has five stanzas and Prof. John X.
Paine, of Harvard university, has writ
ten the music, which is no less grand.
The first public rendering OF this hymn
will be on the opening day Of the great
exposition, Saturday, April 80, when a
drilled chorus Of 500 voices will sing It.
Other musical compositions specially
written upon invitation Of the worlds
fair management are a march, Louis
lana" by Frank Vanderstuken, director
OF the Cincinnati orchestra, and a waltz,
"Along the Plaza" by Henry X. Hadley
OF New York. All are famous COM
posers and their compositions have the
originality and high merit expected for
such a signal event. The several pieces
will be played by the many bands in
their musical programmes during the
exposition.
