A French visitor to New York, an
enthusiastic automobilist, has learned
a lesson as to how things are done
in America. On several occasions
when speeding a machine through
Central park he has seen policemen
hold up a hand. The result was an
increase of speed and wave OF the

in the hopes of catching him, and
finally one of them did so by placing
his horse in the autos track, compell-

the Frenchman was amazed at the

and congratulations and turned on
more power to show them what he
could do. The lesson cost him S..

1t is now little more than two

upon the Worlds Fair at st. Louis and
the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been
created. The vast exhibit palaces are

finished for several months. Within
the next two months all of them are
to be frightened with new coats of
paint so that, on the opening day, the
magnificent array Of palaces will APP

No one, no matter how vivid his i'm

more than a day or two at time and

To mention the big things OF the
Worlds Fair of 1904 would be to give
a catalogue of the greatest achieve
ments of man in many lines Of en-
deavor. For example: We shall see
the largest locomotive ever built,
weighing ninety-fve tons and having
twelve driving wheels. We shall hear
the largest organ in the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built.
We shall see some Of the greatest sea-
coast defense guns manufactured for
the United States government. In the
Government Building, which is the
largest exhibit building ever erected
by federal authority at an Exposition,
there will be model Of half of a
battleship for the Navy display. The
United States Government has also
erected a bird cage SO large that tall
trees grow within the Enclosure, in

Sometimes when the ice had moved

been 10th to believe such a statement.
But such is the fact. The exhibit pal
aces of the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position average much larger than
those of Chicago and are greater in
number About 100 acres Of floor
space are provided in the various pal
aces of the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes. The larg-
est of these is the Palace of Agricul-
ture, which covers twenty acres The
next in size is the Palace of Transpor-
tation, covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four miles of railway tracks
for the exhibit of locomotives and
cars. At the Chicago Exposition
there were practically no outdoor ex-
hibits. AT this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing in a most pleasing
manner the hundreds of thousands of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Elk
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments. At the Worlds Fair in St.
Louis four buildings, covering forty
five acres, are given up to the same
four departments.
The total cost of the Worlds Fair
Is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars, exclusive of the value
OF the exhibits. The Palace of Ma
cbinery alone will contain exhibits to
the value of eight million dollars.
