and contractors who work for him
ra.re!y fail to keep to the letter of their

the cxjw-Mtion opened t'nele Sam was
reativ to revire the visitors.
Aside from the angaria of the Fish
eries d nar.niut (and they are the
pe-jal evhiliit of the national Ssh
commission,' L "ncle Sam's naval exhibit
is the most popular with all classes of
wor i's fair visitors. Persons who are
faini'iar with the ocean and its ships
are p'eased to examine the fidelity of
detai'. which the exhibit shows: while
residents of the inland find great de
lipht In pet tins' a whiff of marine
odors and an insight into the methods
of the marine soldiery. The battle
ship Illinois is so like in appearance to
W genuine ironclad that a majority of
the visitors are in ignorance of the fact
that they tread the decks of a brielt

stages thrown out fore and aft, the
illusion is more complete. The struc- !
ture has all the fitting-s that belong tc
an actual modern war vessel, such as j
puns, turrets, torpedo tubes, torpedo
nets and booms, with boats, anchors, '
davits, awning's and deck fitting, to
pether with steam winches and other
appliances for working- the same, f ffi
cers, heamen and marines hve lieen
detailed by the navy department during-
the exposition period, and the dis- :
cipline and mode of life on I'nited
States war vessels are completely illus
trated. While the complement of men
is not so preat as actually employed on
war vessels, the number is sujiicient to i
carry out the pun drills, torpedo drills
and oj'ier ship exercises daily.
The destructive force of the Massa
chusetts, one of the crack ships of the
United States navy, is amply presented
in its counterpart, the model battleship
Illinois. The dimensions of the model
are those of the Massachusetts leng-th,
E4S feet; width amidships 6'J feet S inches;
depth from water line to main deck, 13
feet. Centrally situated on the main
deck is a superstructure 8 feet high
with a hammock berthing above 7 feet
high, and above these are the bridge,
chart house and small boats. At the
forward end of the superstructure is a i
cone-fJiaped tower called the "military
raast," near the summit of which are
two circular "tops," intended as look
outs for sharpshooters. The height
from the water line to the summit of
the military mast is TO feet, and above
is placed r. flagstaff for signaling.
The battery is powerful and murder
ous. The shells thrown from the big
guns will pierce almost any armor
known save that "nickel armor" p!a".e
which is used exclusively ?y L'mteJ
States vessels. There are four l:".-;nch
breech-loadir.g rified cannon, eight Si
inch breech-loading rifled cannon, four
C-iuch rifles, twenty 6-pounu rapid
firing guns, six 1-pound rapid-firing
guns, two (Jatiing guns in the tower
and sis torpedo guns. All of these are
mounted as in a genuine battleship,
and every point of the compass is with
in range of some of these deadly gur.!
when the vessel is at anchor. On the
starboard side of the ship the side
nearest the pier, ye landsmen is
shown the torpedo protection nit,
reaching tlieentire length of the imita
tion craft. Steam launches and cut
ters ride at the booms and all the out
ward appearance of a real warship is
imitated.
The siijierstrncture shows the cabins,
staterooms, nicssrooms galleys, lava
tories, berthings, lockers and fittings
for the crew, and the manner in which
the officers and enlisted men live is
iliiistia'.?;!. On the superstructure
deck aud bridge is shown the manner
in v. hivh the rapid-tiring guns, search
lights and boats are handled. The en

article. The general outline of the fx
bii'it may te Mated in a comprehensive
way by afiirmiug that with the excep
tion that the crew is not up to the full
number the buttleship Massachusetts
is in evidence at Jackson park. Put
in place of the tons of stores and am
munition carried on the Massachusetts,
the Illinois is filled with relk-sof naval
warfare dating back to revolutionary
days, a museum of paintings and other
priceless articles from the naval de
partment, an exhibit from the naval
academy at Annapolis, and other dis
plays that appeal directly to the peo
ple who help I'ncle Sam keep np his
naval war department.
The Annapolis department is chiefly
interesting as showing the curriculum
of the school, but there are some pho
tographs and autographs that collect
ors would give vast sums to acrju ire. I a
the exhibit of the naval authorities
are relics. that crowds linger about
with reverent awe. Old-fashioned
cannons, ruined with rust, that en
abled Commodore Perry to send that
thrilling message, "we have met the
nemy and they are ours." after the
Lattle of Lake Erie; oil paintings of
encan naval commodores from reT
olnti'onarv days down to the lion
hearted Farragnt, are there. Docu
ments that prove the valor and un
quenchable fire that burn within the
breasts of patriot seadors whose home
was Columbia are in evidence, wher
the youth of the land may call and im
bibe some of the ppirit of patriotism
that induced great men to lay down
their lives in the nation's cause. Belies
of the civil war are common in this
wonderful collection.
The hydrographic surrey department
is one of the interesting- places for
landsmen. Here one may see models
oftheledof tie sea. The attendant
will point out the craters ct the feub
jnerjrcd volcanoes and locate exactly
'the iite of the lost Atlantis. The
ocean's depths are laid before the eye,
while the secrets of the deep are un
locked by the apparatus used by deep
ea bounders who wear I ncle Sam's
liadzre. In the ammunition department
are shown the shells, cartridges, pro
jectiles and other missiles of war. The
apparatus for hoistin? the steel death
producers from the hold to the frun
deck is kept in perfect running- order,
and the exercise of loading and train
ing the amounted rifled cannon can be
observed at almost any time between
a. m. and 5 p.m. It's no trick at all
for the marines and gunners to send a
steel projectile from the ammunition
room via the big: puns into the hull of
a rival vessel five miles distant within
TO seconds.
The best tiiae to visit the Illinois Is
not later than S:30 m the morning-, when

NOBLE ARCHITECTURE.
Royal C'ortiuioz lliM-uues the Hulldlnff
at the World Fmir.
The buildings surrounding the Court
of Honor are classic, says Koyal
("ortissoz, in the Century, but they are
illuminated at numlierless points by
picturesqueness and animation, by
color and lightness. Taken in one
comprehensive view, they have also
something peculiarly modern in a sky
line full of graceful modulations and
abrupt, telling transitions: this in
spite of the practical uniformity of the
cornice height. The latter is not dis
turbed; it is made, if anything, more
effective by the soaring dome of tha
FREXCH'S STATl'K OF THE BEPrBUC
Administration building, the lower
but equally graceful roofsof Machinery
halL which are given further variety
by little turrets on the pavilions at the
corners of the building, and by the
beautiful line which indicates the
curv e of the rotunda ceiling in the
Agricultural building.
There is charm in the outline and in
the mass, a mingling of dignity with
piquancy in the Court of Honor as it is
seen from the top of the Administra
tion building. The charm is there
when the vision is directed over the
Machinery and Agricultural buildings,
the former alive with winged Victories
on its roofs the latter crowned with
the Diana of Mr. St. fiaudens. It is
there when the eye travels straight
down the center of the court, and sees
lietween the majestic facades Mr.
French's noble statue of the Republic,
and behind it the peristyle Waring
above its massive columns the Co
lumbus quadriga, a triumphal group
looming superbly against the sky.
Foreigner Are arprle!.
"I believe the world's fair at Chi
cago is the greatest enterprise of mod
ern times." Lieut. Gen. Dunham Masse-,
of the Pritish army, said after a
stay in Chicago of ten days. "The
buildings are immense and al well
worth an inspection. They are filled
with interesting things, too. Foreign
ers, I believe, have some erroneous
ideas concerning its magnitude and of
the necessary expenses of seeing it.
Pefore I went to Chicago I had gained
my ideas of it from foreign news
papers, and I fully expected to pay $i0
a day for my living ex peases in Chi
cago. Statements that this would be
a fair average had been published in
English newspapers that I had seen.
I was simply surprised when I found
that these figures were two or three
times too large. The exhibits mad
at the fair wiil be of much value in
giving foreigners who visit the fair a
better idea of the immense resources
of this country than they have had be
fore." Ceorge Washington's statue, hold
ing in the right hand a staff floating
the stars and stripes, has been put in
position in the Court of Honor. It is
the work of St. Gaudens, is fifteen feet
high, and stands upon a pedestal seven
feet high. The tip of the flag staff
rw(fhes eight feet above the head of
the blatiie thirtv, feet in alb
Victoria house. Great Britain's
hitherto exclusive home, will be open
to the public daily hereafter from S

CHILDREN'S BUILDING.
Seier la tha World's Ifiatwry Baa Taew
Been a Boom Like It.
The Children's building at tha world's
fair, says St Nicholas, is 150x80 feet in
size. It is built of staff a material
which gives elegant and substantial
effects without the enormous labor
world's faxb child rex's auiLDixa.
that would be required In using ordi
nary materiats.
It is decorated in colors, light-blua
predominating. Among other decora
tions are sixteen medallions of the
children of all nations in their nation
al costumes: Indian, Japanese, Dutch,
French, Spanish children of every
clime.
The first floor contains the creche, a
large, airy, cheerful room, where ona
hundred children can be cared for at a
time, while their mothers are out sight
seeing. The assembly room Is also
upon this floor, and this is, perhaps,
where more interest will center than
in any other part of the house. It ia
furnished with chain, like any audi
ence room, except that the seats are of
several different sires. There is a
platform from which will be given to
the older boys and girls stereoptieon
lectures about foreign countries, their
languages, manners and customs, and
important facts connected with their
history. These facts will be told by
experienced teachers and klndergart
ners, who will then take groups of
children to See exhibits from the coun
tries about which they have just heard.
In the assembly room there will also
be dramatic, literary and musical en
tertainments carefully adapted to suit
the intelligence of varying ages. Dis
tinguished people who are visiting the
exposition will be asked to give famil
iar talks about their special lines of
work. Authors, artists, musicians and
scientists will be called upon to min
ister to the happiness of the fortunate
little people.
On the second floor kindergarten and
kitchen garden departments will be in
full operation for the benefit of moth
ers and others interested in the best
methods of instructing children. II ere
will be also the cooking school from
the Drexel institute in Philadelphia
The Ilamona school for Indians is to
be brought from Santa Fe, X. M.
There are thirty pupils, and they will
bring all their furniture and decora
tions and will do their native basket
weaving and other characteristic In
dian work. There will also be a school
for deaf mutes, where the interesting
process of teaching to speak and to
read from the lips will be shown.
The library is as nearly a model one
for children as can be secured. Por
traits of writers for children, with
autographs whenever that ia possible,
are cpon the walls. The favorite home
papers and the familiar magazines are
to be found,, ready either to be merely
gl&noed at or to be read at leisure. On
the roof, above all this busy lesson life,
is the playground. This is a lovely gar
den, all inclosed with a wire screen for
safety. It is full of flowers and plants,
aud live birds are flying about in per
fect freedom. Toys of all nations are
on exhibition here, from the crude
child trinket of the savage to the talk
ing, walking, working playthings of
France. And they are not for show
merely, but for the children to play
with.
Greatest Show oa Earth.
"The fair cannot well be described,
it is so great and has so many features
that are elaborate, valuable and in
structive," said Robert P. Porter, su
perintendent of the census. "It Is the
greatest thing of the kind ever at
tempted, and the people of the east
should see It to appreciate it. The im
mense buildings are worth a visit to
Chicago in themselves. They literally
form a city which is of oriental
splendor and regal magnificence. Tbey
have arisen as if at the rubbing of
Aladdin's lamp. No one person ean
ever know all the beauties they eon-
tain, for there is so much that it will
be impossible to see it alb But any
one may get a general idea TJf the fair
by atrip around the White City, and
however long he may stay there will
find enough to entertain and instruct
him, whatever may be his tastes. No
one should go with the idea that he
will see it all, but no one can spend
his time within the gates without fcet
ting his money's worth."
WaahiactM Moaaaaeat la Colas,
World's Fair Director Fred W. Peck
has at last succeeded in his plan of
having a pile of the silver souvenir
coins stacked up in an architectural
way. Arrangements have been com
pleted to begin building a reproduc
tion of the Washington monument at
the capital in souvenir 90-cent pieces.
This solid silver model will be eighteen
feet high and two and a half feet wide
at the base. It will make a big draft
on Treasurer Seeberger's stack of
coins, but its appearance will be most
attractive and is expected to excite an
additional call for the souvenirs. The
silver monument will be erected in the
center of Manufactures building, under
the great white clock tower. An at
tendant will be placed in charge to
sell the souvenirs.
tVleeonsla Pearls wa View.
What is said to be the finest collec
tion of fresh water pearls ever got to
gether has been placed on exhibition
in the Wisconsin pavilion in Mines and
Mining building. The finest speci
mens run to dark blue, blue black,
peacock, dark purple and dark green
shades. Among them, however, arw
some pinks, dark greens, pink greens,
lavenders, browns and whites that
have marks of great value on them.
All these pearls were taken from mnav
aela found in Wisconsin rivers.

came from Fort Defiance, A. T., and
are living in a small conical tent made
of painted skins close to the intramural
railroad. As they do not speak Eng

Another exhibit has been installed
on the battle-ship Illinois which is full
of interest to the student of the naval
history of the United States. It is a

Tire commissioners of the French
section of the Chicago exposition hav

France was immediately thought of,
and. in spite of the shortness of the
time at their disposal, Mr. Roger Ballu,
FALGCIBME'S STATVE, "LA rBAKCE."
inspector of the beaux arts, asked the
eminent sculptor, Falguiere, to under
take the task. Mr. Falguiere accepted,
and in twenty days he had accom
plished the work honorably. We give
a copy of the original drawing, for
which we are indebted to our contem
porary, LTllustration.
France is represented seated and
wearing a cuirass, the right arm being
raised with a proud but pacific gesture.
The left arm rests on a tablet bearing
the inscription "Droits de lTlomme"
(Rights of Man), while the left hand
holds the national sword. The head,
which is characterized by a calm and
serene beauty, is ornamented with a
diadem symbolical of liberty, equality
and fraternity.
The statue is seven feet ten inches
high and will be erected on a pedestal
nine feet tea inches high. It will orna
ment the French section, which is very
remarkable as a whole and will attract
much interest.
Bread-Making- at the Fair.
New points and improvements are
constantly being discovered even in
the most familiar processes. Many of
these were gained by housekeepers
who at the Woman's building at Jack
son park listened to Mrs. Rorer's lec
ture on the art of bread-making with
yeast. She gave the relative values of
high and low yeast, and high yeast in
its growth in bread was illustrated by
the growth of the plant in soil. She
said: "The idea of letting the sponge
stand over night has gone out of date.
Bread-making is easy if the cook will
understand a few essential principles."
Mrs. Rorer advocated the theory that
six o'clock dinners were best for
health, and said the idea of heavy
meals at noon was against the action
of nature. During the next lecture
she made Dutch corn pudding with
apricots, hominy croquettes and meat
tauce.
The Moat Popular BnUdlng-.
It matters little whether the crowd
at the fair is large or small. Woman's
building always gets its share, which
generally fills it to overflowing. The
lectures which take place daily in this
building show the educational features
of the World's Columbian exposition,
and a strong contrast to some of the
features which are tb be seen in the
park for which aa admission charge ia
made.
A PECULIAR FLOWER.
It Cornea from sooth Afrira and Cannot
Bo Wen ateacribed.
Everything is big at the world's fair.
fou see and hear there the biggest
men, the biggest buildings and the
biggest lies in the world. Even the
flowers are big. Over in the green
house there is one that opened the
other day. There is nothing as big as
it in America. It is 44 inches long and
is the first of its kind ever bred in this
part of America. ' It comes from south
ern Africa and it is known as the Aros
tolochia Uigas Sturtevanti, which in
plain English means Sturtevant's big
birthwort.
The uncanny-looking blossom is hard
to describe. It looks like a great
many not very pretty things. Sir
Samuel Vernon Steele, standing be
hind it, said:
"It looks like a lobster!"
Mr. Hughes, standing in front of it
said:
"It looks like a parrotr
It did look like both parrot and lob
ster. It also looked like a musician's
bag. a green gooseliner and a roquefort
cheese. But it is a mighty rare and
extraordinary-appearing blossom, mot
tled green in color and banging by a
slender rope from a net of leaves which
its growth has spread under the glass
roof of the greenhouse. It comes from
southern Africa and was brought back
here by the Stanley expedition. In
Africa the flower sometimes grows to
a length of seventy-two inches. The
Arostolochia Gigas is akin to the
plant known as the "Dutchman's Pipe."
