Beachey Flew Through it.
The Palace or Machinery, the largest
wooden building ever erected, was
completed on Jan. 1. just one year att
er' the construction work had been
started. It was In this immense struc-
ture that Lincoln Beachey successfully
made his aeroplane fight, the SGT feet

OF seventy miles an hour, establishing
a record for the first indoor aeropIane
flight ever attempted. The compost

A spectacular feature OF the illumi-

perforations will be arranged in GER

The Tower OF Jewels.
To augment the effect Of an actual
fairyland. hundreds OF thousands of
Jewels will be suspended from the
important architectural points Of the
palaces, and upon these the rays from
zoe minor searchlights will constantly
play. The Jewels are handmade and

Wonderful Tropical Gardens.
The greatest progress has been made
in the construction of he gardens,
however. When it Is considered that
but a little more than a yea ago the
site of the Exposition was impossible
from the viewpoint Of a landscape gar
dener, being composed of sand and salt,
the wonderful tropical gardens which
exist at present seem remarkable.
Millions of cubic yards of sand were
pumped from the bay on to the site,
and upon this base 10000 cubic yards
of rich soil was spread. Twenty-Five
thousand Of these yards were dredged
from the Sacramento river bed at a
point seventy miles distant.
Many millions Of rare plants and
trees and shrubs were collected by ex-
pert gardeners from all parts OF he
world and brought to the Exposition,
where they were planted In nurseries,
Iath houses and greenhouses, later to
be t~ransplanted ON the site proper.
Two hundred of the palms which
r now growing cost more than 500
each. Trees were brought from India.
Africa, Australia. Central ana South
America and the Philippine Islands.
Many OF these were hundreds of years
old. and q special system had to be de-
vised TO successfully transplant them.

Francois is alivei"
For all his gruff self-control the gen.
eral made the letter an excuse shortly
to sit down. Queer that mans knees
should suddenly bend and give way
because of thrill of rapture in a
mans psychological makeup! But the
|. general had to sit down. And then
and there all that had been extracted
from little Battista was rehearsed and
the letter read over from start to fin
ish.
But he is alive, father! Alive!
That is happiness enough to kill one.
| never knew till now that feared he
was dead"
"Alive-yes! But in prison-in that
devils hole of an old castle!" And
Alike looked at Pietro and laughed,
but the general paid no attention. HE
must be got out. There is no time to
waste. Diable! He is perishing in
that vile stable! What was that the
lad said about the doctors speech,
that only long sea voyage could save
him? One must get him out, mon dieu,
quicki"
Alike, her hand on his arm, put her
head down on it suddenly and stood
so for moment, her face hidden.
Pietro, his hands thrust deep in his
pockets, looked at the general with
wide gray eyes. considering With that
Alike flashed up, turned on the young
Italian, shaking her forefinger at him;
her eyes shone blue fire.
That is for you, Pietro. If we
should lose him now, just as we have
found him! Now is the time for you
to show if you can be what is brave
and strong, as Francois has shown 1t
is your castle; you must save him"
Pietro looked at the girl, and the
color crept through his cheeks, but hs
said nothing.
Alike. my Alike" her father put an
arm around her. "One may not de-
mand heroism as IL it were bread and
butter. Pietro will not fail u.s."
Alike always wished me to be bril-
liant like Francois" Pietro spoke
gently. but | never could"
Yet, Pietro, it is indeed your time"
Alike threw at him eagerly. Francois
must be rescued or he will die"
Yes" Pietro answered quietly.
Francois must be rescued"
He was silent moment, as if think
ing. His calm poised mind was work
ing swiftly; one saw the inner action
in the clear gray eyes The general
and Alike, watching him. saw it.
