st. Louis, special.-The Missouri
,state. Building atsthe Worlds Fair was
destroyed by fire early Saturday even
ing, resulting from the explosion of
hot water heater in the basement. In
stantly the flames shot up through the

loss cannot be estimated accurately
owing to the temporary construction
material, which has no salvage value.
