STORY OF THE ELEVATOR.

Practically all the elevators in use
today are driven by electric power
with the exception of few old-fash.
toned elevators OF small size which
are still driven by water, or hydraulic.
energy.
There is nothing new about the
elevator 1t may safely be presumed
that the original cave-man saw the
need Of a long grapevine to raise
fresh and smoked meats to the safety
of his mountain retreat. Very prob
ably this was done The ancient
Caesars employed horse and hand
power lifts to ascend from the level
of the forum to the imperial halls
These lifts consisted OF winding
drums. capstans. levers, pulIeys, etc.
To this very day lifts OF this nature
are being operated in ancient monas
teries in Europe and Asia.
But the first elevator properly be.
gan when Villoyer. a Partisan. in.
vented what he called a flying chair
This first elevator Travelled between
the wall OF his house, from the first
to the second floor. The chair was
operated by rope, pulley and coun.
terweight. 1t has the record of being
the first elevator to get stuck be.
tween floors.
Steam freight elevators, or hoists.
made their appearance about 1850
The first one was installed in a flour
mill In 1882 the old worm gear for
steam elevators was discarded in
favor of the wire rope and drum
hoists. The first hydraulic elevator
was the result of the experiments OF
Cyrus w. Baldwin Of Brooklyn. in
1855. One of the first hotels to in.
stall an elevator was the Fifth Ave.
nut hotel which was built in 1859,
Even in those days this first passen.
ger elevator was called vertical
railway" 1t ran up and down, from
floor to floor. taking on and discharg.
| ing passengers. This elevator was OF
the vertical screw type.
In 1875 the screw type elevator
gave way to the rope elevator very
similar in many respects to the mod
ern elevator. At first the necessary
power was secured from steam and
water. but in most modern elevator
systems power is secured from cleo,
trio motors. High speed elevators re
Guire elaborate safety devices and
signal systems. These are also oper
ated by electricity.

THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE FAIR.

/ y VNr - " SGk. sstS 49,.
The Iowa state fair has grown tc
such colossal proportions that one
needs several days in order to study
| its various departments and assim
liIate the vast stores of practical IN
formation and knowledge to be OBJ
tanned. There is but one way to dc
this, and that is to go prepared t.
camp on the ground, an entire week
II possible, and if not, then as many
days as 1t is consistent with your
business affairs to spare.
The camp grounds have been en-
larged by the addition of nearly TWEEN
'ty acres recently acquired on the hill
side just east of the old sheep bull 4
ings and south of the evergreen grove
familiar to annual visitors. No pains
have been spared by the state fais
manag to make this camping
proposition convenient and agreeable
to its guests. 1t is possible to enjoy
"a few days of tent life in the open
without the disagreeable features that
so often accompany outings. A tract
OF more than seventy acres has been
set apart for camping purposes. 1t is
ideal in matters of shade, drainage,
etc, and carpeted with natures own
tapestry of blue grass and white
clover.
The grounds are regularly laid on
and disposed after the fashion of a
city, with streets and alley ways, le.-
tered and numbered A directory is
maintained in which the name, street
number and exact location of every
inhabitant of the city of tents is kept.
Every portion of the grounds can be
reached by automobile The tract is
Illuminated at night by gas and cleo
tricity and patrolled day and night by
police.
Two tent and awning companies
will have headquarters on the grounds
with tents of all sizes and sorts for
rent at reasonable prices, while the
fair management makes no charge
whatever for camping privileges, other
than the regular admission tickets
The grocer, huckster, milk man, meat
men, ct al, will make daily rounds and
take orders for delivery. The daily
win be distributed, and
through convenient postal arrange
ments mail from home can be safely
delivered each day if desired. If you
are prepared to stay a few days by
all means make arrangements to
camp on the ground, it is the only
way to come anywhere near to get
ting all the big exposition, as we'll as
the most comfortable and enjoyable.
