CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Towers Of

lshes in a glow of pale lavender.
Fohage ShimmerS yellow under a
coating of radium. Whole build
lngs are sheathed in dancing color.
1t is an enchanted city-the Chi
cago worlds fair as it will look next
summer and as it is beginning to
look now.
Step Into Another World
Imagine that you are in another
world, or think of yourself as wax
ing from the widest dream you ever
had-and follow us on a summerv
night through the main entrance.
You step into a white and blue
bus such, as you neve- have seen.
1t looks like bullet on wheels.
On the left is the amazing adj
ministration building, made prin-
cipally of corncobS, colored a bril-.
liant blue, and faced with towers of
fire, which are cold to the touch.
Across a lagoon, dotted with pink
and yellow geysers, is a man-made
island upon which rises the great
semi-circular electric building.
Shrieking up from earth every split
second go flashes of lirhtning-the
flaming ladder arcs which turn g.
900 volts of electricity into binding
light as they climb twin electrodes
500 feet high
Million Dollar Sky Line
The bus purrs to a halt under
the mainland tower of the mil
lion dollar sky line.
Another tower is on the island.
The towers are 600 feet high and
half a mile apart.
High speed elevators carry pas
sengers to the top platform, moving
in transparent, golden lighted
shafts. At the 20O-foot level, four
cable tracks connect the towers. On
these, eight rocket cars are run
ming.
The cars are thirty-three feet
long, of glass and aluminium. Col
ored steam sprays from their wake.
Mysterious Hall of Science
To the right is the hall of
science, mysterious windowless
building, long, low and pigmented
with lights which scintillate and
change color like a dozen rainbows
reflected on the ripples of an inky
lake.
Inside are things to make your
hair stand on end, to make you cape
IN establishment, but our bus rolls
| on.
On both sides of the roadway are
monumental structures, all in this
same weird architectural style and
all illuminated as no building has
been lighted before.
Ahead stands the unique travel and
transport building, like a red and
gold octagon fifteen stories high. It
is capped with a famous breathing
dome-like no other roof in the
world
Duplicate Magyar Temple
The dome is $40 feet across, with
out a single support below it.
Steel cables from above hold I'D
this mighty roof, so that it NAV

Of the day turns to the cool of the
night.
A replica of an ancient Magyar
temple is bathed in the moonlight,
just as its original was in the jun
giles OF Yucatan 1000 years ago.
A model Hollywood, with real
movie stars, is turning out celluloid
epicS nearby.
The bus finally ends its journey
through the crowded two-mile strip
on the shore of Lake Michigan.
NEXT Wen enter some of these wondtous
buildings and learn, among other things
how flames sing, what an atom looks like.
