person can remain in ignorance OF i
Of the progress the world is making;
very few things can be brought up |
for discussion that will be foreign, if !
the person has paid proper attention /
and given the proper time to an in
spection to the things to be seen at |
the fair. There are things that APP
fair. There are things shrdlutputpej
peal to the technical mind and things
that appeal to the person seeking
general information. Every mind
finds something interesting and edu-
cational.
The exhibits are in the most part
grouped so that it is with ease that
any exhibit with a particular appeal
can be located in a short time. Indus
tries and arts are grouped exceeding
ly well.
There is a palace of mining, where
all that pertains to mining, metal
lurgy, geology and metals, machin-
cry incident to their mining, extrac-
ton and smelling may be seen.
Agriculture, agricultural products
and much agricultural machinery are
found in the palace of agriculture.
In the palace of manufactures and
liberal arts may be found textiles
from the finest to the coarsest and
many of the processes of manufac-
ture are shown; cutlery, household
improvements, statuary-and the best
that America can produce and much
that is imported from across the wa
ter, is shown. To the real artist the
fact that price tags bangle from We
muses. and Cupids is rather detract-
ing, but to the uninitiated a sign of
Isl 800" hanging upon a little statute
OF clotheless woman holding some
thing or other above her head, car
ries home the point that real art is
expensive.
In the educational building, the Wis
ltor may see all that the name inn
plies. From kindergarten to univer-
tsity methods, everything is shown in
icluding manual training work, domes-
tic science and all branches that
modern educational advancement has
incorporated.
The food products palace appeals to
all classes. It is not confined strict
" to foods, for drinks are also to be
found there, and the person who
| likes the sip of California wine they
give you at booth may order a case
sent home if he will In this build
ing, as in all others, very little is
given away, however-this appears
to be one of the cardinal principals
of the fair. They give away moth
ing that can be sold. They make po-
itato chips to show you how it is
done but they sell them to you at five
cents a bag. They bake tarts out of
certain brand flour while lee
turer expatiates upon its qualities but
they sell you the tarts at a nickle
apiece. They make coffee in hugh
urns to advertise a certain brand. but
they sell it to you at ten cents a Gun
and throw in a couple of crisp French
waffles-and it is worth the price.
You can buy anything to eat-from a
small paper carton of salad to car
load of flour-but you don't get much
IN the way of samples-not even hot
biscuit and butter like they served at
our fair.
The palace of fine arts houses the
collection of painting and it is de-
clared to be the finest collection of
modern art that has ever been
! brought under one roof. 1t is GER
tainly worth days of time to those
who have the time. Each country has
a section with its own uniformed
guards in control and at the main en-
trance are more exposition guards
than you will see over all the rest of
the grounds. The exposition is max
ing money-mortgag having been
paid off in full. Some very valuable
old paintings are shown in the Euro
pean sections but in most instances
/ the governments have been content
i to send copies, but these copies are
j by men and women with regulations
as artists. Tn United States exhibit
! is most creditable one. A whole
room is devoted to the pictures of
one American painter, Sargent.

everybody. for who is not interested
today in automobiles? Ford turns
out a new car every ten minutes-six
every hour-iust to show what he
can do. Other factories show their
best models in all manner of dress
and undress. Much of the machinery
operates under glass and many man
or woman who never could under
stand the principal of the differentiaI
or tell the difference between a spark
plug and a brake band, soon gets 9
clear idea of a motor car. Armourec
automobiles that we have read about
but have never seen, may be seen IL
this building also the old Pathfinder
Il that Westgard drove five times across
the continent. Electric locomotives
modern mail cars-everything that
goes to make travelling possible-art
shown in this big, instructive build
