Interesting Points Are Here Described
for Readers.
After several weeks of delicate ne
gotiation, the directors of the Swedish
building and exhibits at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc exposition have succeeded
in gaining from DR.. W. L. Wright of
Washington City the privilege of ex-
hibiting Henry Hammond Ahl' IS miracle
painting, "The Shadow of the Cross. -
The "Shadow of the Cross" is prob
ably the most discussed work ever pro-
duced by an artist, not because the ar
fist intended that it should be, but be-
cause of conditions over which he had
no control and which, down to date,
neither clergyman nor chemist has been
| able to account for.
The picture is of the Christ Viewed
in the full light it is a splendid but not
unusual type. With the lights turned
off and in utter darkness, the miracle
materializes. From the clouds in the
background there emanates a vivid
glow that throws out the figure of the
Master in silhouette. Around the head
there appears a luminous halo and
athwart the whole picture and behind
the figure falls the shadow of the cross.
On the Pay Streak.
In romantic gulch near the Pay
Streak of the exposition will be found
typical "wildcat' still. This pest of
the mountain revenue officer will be re-
constructed from a still destroyed in
the Tennessee mountains years ago, and
the battered copper kettles and rusted
worm will again be mounted for duty.
No corn, however, will be boiled into
the coil of joy" in the exposition
Wildcat; only the operation showing
how it used to be will be demonstrated
Jap Navy Represented.
During the exposition the Japanese
government will be represented by two
cruisers of the imperial navy.
Streak Is Educational.
AS a usual thing the amusement way
of an exposition is all straight fun,
some of it at times of questionable
character, but at Seattle it is a different
proposition. Absolute cleanliness has
been insisted upon and the directors
have accepted attractions of only the
highest class.
At the st. Louis exposition the
"Battle of the Monitor and the Merri-
mac" took the gold medal for excel
lence over all other amusement features
exhibited on the Pike. 1t is reproduced
with the same care on the Pay Streak
by Emmett Mcconnell at a cost of
$4,000.
The Battle of Gettysburg, another of
McCOnnell's big cyclorama, is shown in
a separate building.
Eskimo Village.
Captain Baber's tribe of Siberian
Eskimo, in their village at the head of
the Pay Streak, will also prove a big
attraction to those inclined to look for
the serious and instructive side of. the
exposition, as we'll as those seeking only
fun.
Igorotte Village.
} The Igorotte village is another edu-
cational feature, as we'll as one crammed
!, full of amusement. The Igorottes are
government wards but Uncle Sam per.
, mits them to be shown the world over
for the purpose of educating the public
to a proper conception of the little
brown brother of the Philippines and
his wonderful capacity for civilization
and advancement.
Dixie Land.
Dixie land a true southern spectacle
? is a reproduction of plantation life be
fore the war. 1t shows the old time
MINISTRIES and every feature of the
happy life the darby lived before the
troubles came that set his free.
Streets of Cairo.
The Turkish village and streets o.
Cairo are spread upon more elaborate
and finished scale than at any othel
worlds fair. There are 1877 people
employed in delineating the life of thu
Orient and there are herds of camelI
and elephants for the youngsters to rid'
upon.
other Attractions.
= With a half dozen other attraction
n of as much class, the exposition man
+ agement believes that, from the purel.
i. educational standpoint, it has gathered
the most valuable amusement way eve
exhibited at any exposition.
