wide cogs on the outside of each rim
 Two revolutions are given each passenger, and the time required is from 20 to 30 minutes. The view during this half-hour ride is most interesting and instructive. Gradually, as the majestic and mighty wheel rolls one up higher and higher, a grand panorama un- folds itself to view. A fifty mill ion dollar Exposition in all it's grandeur is before you. The lo- cation of the Wheel in the center of the Fair Grounds gives one an opportunity to thoroughly famil- iarize themselves with the lay of the grounds and get better gen eral idea of the Fair than they could by days of tramping. The Cascades, the Plateau of States, all the big buildings, the Pike, Festival Hall, the Art Building, Foreign Buildings, Phillipine Res ervation, the Air Ship Enclosure, in fact, every point of interest in the grounds can be seen from the big Wheel. In addition. one gets a view of St. Louis, the Mississip- pi River, and the beautiful forests, hills and dales for fifty miles around. At night, the view of the buildings and grounds is simply magnificent. Eye has not seen nor ear heard Of a more striking spec tacIe than the night view of this great Exposition from the top of the Ferris Wheel.
 Hundreds of thousands of mean descent lights bring the outlines of all the buildings in bold relief. The Festival Hall and the Plateau of States are flooded in turn with white, red and green lights, mak- ing a startling and very beautiful effect. The best point to view this grand illumination is from the Ferris Wheel.
 When you go to the Fair, do not fai4 to ride upon 1t.

She let go the windlass, not noticing that the boy had ran up to the we'll. The windlass struck him on the head with such force that it killed him. When the father re- turned he found both children dead and his wife insane.
