artists Of the day were employed to
paint the superb canvasses.
But another spectacle is awaiting
our attention. Those who are inter-

For this giant diorama more than
twenty thousand square feet Of can

of Paul PhiloppoteauX, the famous
French artist. The thrills of real
battle will he provided through the
use of black powder smoke and the
shrek of shells and whine Of bullets
will be simulated. In one place an
actual road, torderad on either side
by growing grain, merges into the
canvas. So well is this executed the

sea crabs are seen crawling upon the
bottom. Deeper and deeper goes the
submarine; the light fades and we
are looking out into an almost
opaque block of green. Again it
grows lighter and the boat is ascend
ing. Now we come to the Arctic
waters; we almost brush against an
iceberg; we see seals and polar
bears but a short distance away.
Again we pass into the temperate
waters and behold the court of
Neptune, king of the seas. Sharks,
giant fish, strange corals are per-
ceived within the depths. All in all
one has never seen anything like the
Submarines at the exposition and
one will perhaps never see its like
again.
But there are dozens of these vast
spectacles.
One Of the most remarkable and
elaborate Of them is the wonderful
Yellowstone Park, constructed by
one of the great railroads of the
country at cost of more than one
half million dollars.
Representations of huge cliffs, one
hundred feet in height but seeming
far higher, surround the great con-
cession. These have hoen cocred to
represent nature and are cloaked
with moss and verdure, giving an
impression of natura'ness. The en-
trance to the concession is made
through Eagle Nest Rock, narrow
gorge. and the visitor beholds before
him a great panoramic reproduction
of the marvels of the Yellowstone,
with the Old Faithful Inn, exact as
to size, upon the north end of the
enclosure.

There will be n thrill for evI y
moment in the marvellous and
elaborate amusement district, the
vast Zone at the Pacific
international Exposition. It's early
construction today reveals what
this huge section of the exposition
will be like. Many of its wonder
full and beautiful features will be
completed before the time this
article is published and all will be
finished well in advance of the
opening day.
The art of producing huge cyclo-
ramas and dioramas on vast scale,
of creating superb scenic effects and
unusual and remarkable amusement
devices has advanced rapidly in the
ten years since the last great EXPOSE
ton was held at St, Louis. The best
efforts of the worlds most noted
amusement purveyors will reach
their zenith in San Francisco in a
series of vast amusement features
on scale never before attempted or
achieved
More than one hundred of the con-
cessions of The Zone will entail an
expenditure of more than ten million
dollars when they are fully COM
pleted. This is more than twice the
amount expended upon amusement
productions at either of the last two
great worlds expositions. The
amusements disclose wonderful in
genuity and originality and all are
notable for their great educational
value. The keynote Of the exposition
is educational and every concession
upon The Zone has been undertaken
to provide clean, wholesome fun as
well as instruction and entertain
ment.

sterling male quartet, consisting of
Fay, Clarence and Charlse Scott and
Fay Cooper, was delightful addition
to the excellent musical program.
