Not all the buildings are ex-
clusively for exhibition purposes
in the strict meaning of the
term. This is exemplified by
the Temple of Religion and
Tower of Peace, where there
is emphasized the contributions
of religion to human welfare.
A Biblical garden contains APP
proximately 200 varieties and
plants mentioned in the Bible.
The building also houses what is
said to be the greatest collec-

educational literature ever as

the conflict between science

BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

During the reign of Louis XIV
of France, the court was cluttered
with illiterate men who because
of some favor were given large
land grants and were put on PEN
sions at the expense of the tax
payers. One such person was the
Marquis de Geavres, who con-
sidered himself an authority on
almost every subject. One day
in a cabinet meeting, conversation
drifted from the state to painting,
and particularly to q group Of
fine paintings of the Crucifixion
by the first masters. De Greavres
commended they were all painted
by one man. He was laughed at,
and the various painters were
named. as recognized by their
style. Not at ALL said the mar
quis, the painter is called INRI:
do you not see his name upon all
the pictures ?"

SUNDAY, AUG. Is, 1899

After the early morning hours
adverse aspects are active to-
day, according to astrology.
While the stars promise much to
the clergy in this country. there
may be conflicts of ideas among
church members.
There may be clear vision re-
garding needed reforms in So
cial, commercial and political
circles but methods of correct
ing evils will be subjects of dis
pute in cities where graft and
vice flourish.
There is sign presaging
bitter discussion among Ameri-
can lawmakers and peace Off

crease of crime will arouse pub
lie opinion.
Mars in threatening aspect
will affect minds that should be
closed to fear of war. Astrolo-
gers urge men and women TO
avoid rboring destructive
thoughts. Religion will offer
panaceas for many ills.
The evening should be bene-
fetal TO persons who WELD au-
thority. II rs fortunate for out
lining plans and for preparing

are well directed by the stars.
Women will find this an au-
spicious sway under which to

throplc organizations. Increased
demands for relief are forecast
Speech will be widely studied
and discussed. A tendency to
employ exaggerated statements
and explosives will be widely

Exposition Typifies New

Color Scheme Also

Yesterday there was the story
Of the miracle which brought
Treasure Island from the bot
tom of the sea, transformed the
black. salt impregnated sand
into fertile soil that produced
a glamorous background for the
architecture of the Golden Gate
International Exposition. Today
is the Just as interesting story
of the naturalization of vision.
With the exception of some of
the buildings housing foreign ex-
hibits there are few departures
from the type of architecture
developed by the California
architects. In the main 1t
follows generally the mission
style. but with enough origi-
nality of treatment to just-
fly classifying it as a new style
Of architecture that is distinc-
lively typical of the Pacific
coast.
The mass effect usually pro-
duced by many great buildings
concentrated in small area is
avoided by courts, colonades,
rsmparts and towers which
break the lines.
The color scheme. of
course helps to produce the
effect. Basis OF Treasure
Island color Is a palette COM
prising golden hues and
nineteen colors dominant on
the Pacific coast. Except in
few cases all the coloring
on the 400 acre tract Is pro-
duced from the base palette.
Careful selection Of colors
and arrangement Of the
flower beds and the very
unusual lighting system
adds TO the harmony of the
picture.
Lighting effects have an i'm
portant part in producing what
up to this time has been seen
only on Treasure Island. Unless
one spends few hours after
dark on the grounds one of the
most delightful experiences of
the exposition will be lost.
Color masses and combination
never before seen are produced
by indirect lights, 10000 colored
flood lights, 2,400 colored flour
escent tubes and several hundred
ultra violet or black light"
lamps. Fountains are illumin-
ated in many colors and hidden
in thousands of trees, powerful
lights intensity the natural
beauty of the gardens. A battery
of colored search lights generate
rays of lao, 000,000 candle
power that can be seen for ap'
proximately 100 miles.
