billiards every half hour" will be
one Of the startling announcements at
the forthcoming st. Louis exposition.
No matter how hot the day. visitors TO
the worlds fair will be able to enter a
handsome building in which storms are
always kept on tap. as II we're. and in
stead of cooling themselves by means
Of unhealthy cream sodas and other con-
coctions they will just sit on an ,fce-
berg and allow the snowHakes to fall on
their perspiring faces. thus enjoying all
the comforts Of an arctic climate
These snowstorms will be worked by
means Of liquid air. and besides bliz-
yards. hail showers. etc, visitors will be
/ shown how kettle can be made TO sing
on chunk Of ice. how a sausage may be
cooked to turn by merely showing II an
/ icicle, or how a tube of mercury may be
frozen so hard that II can be used to
drive home a nail made out Of the same
mineral. These and other marvellous
things have been done before and are
not new, but the snowstorm will be quite
a debutante, for IT will make its first
public appearance at the 81. Louis ex-
position.
How do we do it?" said one OF the
principals connected with the unique
show, in answer to an inquiry. We'll.
you'd probably have to be a scientist
to quite understand that, but may tell
you that we shall have fine building
in one of the best parts of the exposition
grounds, got up like the actic regions
aurora borealis, few real polar bears
chained up and muZzled, two or three
Esquimaux lying about drinking train
oil to keep themselves warm, several
real icebergs, ETC.. just to give every
body the idea that at last the north pole
has been reached an IDEA which we shall
not disturb by having a refreshment bar
behind the aurora.
1.-THE show will be worked by liquid
air and we shall provide storms every
half hour. When we have got fairly
good audience we shall liberate guam
tity of liquid air into the room, taking
care, however, that 1t has been previous
ly filled with humid atmosphere. Dr.
rectly the liquid air is liberated you can
guess what the result will be. When
the cold air strikes the atmosphere that
has been filled almost to the point of
saturation there will be snow. as the
temperature of the room will be lowered
to the point where freezing takes place
as soon as precipitation occurs.
Those folks who have a taste for ex-
however, will want something
more than a scene from a Christmas
card. They'll want action. and we shall
give it to them When we turn on the
wonderful apparatus which will agi-
tate the air and blow currents of icy
wind at the rate of 60 miles an hour.
more or less, you will see the folks clutch
heir hats and hold on to their iceberg
seats 1t will be fun for the youngsters
ind instructive, too, for they will have
In object lesson in Alaskan billiards..
I'VE had thought of north pole bal
ct. but don't quite see how we could
urn on that and the blizzard at the
anne time. However. you may be quite
