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 summary
night through the main entrance.
You step into a white and blue
bus such as you neve~ have seen.
1t looks like a bullet on wheels.
On the left is the amazing adj
ministration building, made prin-
cipally of corncobS, colored a brill
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 lichtning-the
flaming ladder arcs which turn 3d.

300 feet high
MilliOn-D Sky Line
The bus purrs to a halt under
the mainland tower of the mill
lion dollar sky line.
Another tower is on the island.
The towers are 900 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 200-foot level. four
cable tracks connect the towers. On
these, eight rocket cars are run

The cars are thirty-thre 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 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 red and
gold octagon fifteen stories high. It
is capped with q famous breathing
dome-like no other roof in the
world
Duplicate Mayan Temple
The dome is 80 feet across. with.
out a single support below it.
Steel cables from above hold I'D
this mighty roof, so that it may
breathe" foot or two as the heat
of the day turns to the cool of the
night
A replica of an ancient Mayan
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 well enter some Of these wondrou.
buildings and learn. among other things,
how flames sing, what an atom looks Ike
and how sound looks.
