The time artly designated the Fall
Festivities Season, was inaugurated by
the opening of the Fifth Annual Exhibi
tion of the Great Pittsburgh Exposition,
on the evening of Septemlier 6th.
This pre-eminently successful institu
tion, is very popular with the people of
Pittsburgh and vicinity, its attractions
are always of the highest order, and never
fail to please the hundreds of thousands
of visitors w ho patronize it each season.
Jls average yearly atlendani-e ia five
hundred thousand persons during the
forty days it is open. These figures are
alxindant evidence of its popularity.
The opening this season was even a
more pronounced sucee than ever before.
The announcement was made, that the
tHiblic would be admitted at 8 p. m., but
long before that hour, thousands of anx
ious visitors were clamoring for admission.
Everything being in readiness, the man
agement anticipated the time set for the
opening bv nearly one hour. A rtreain of
jolly, jubilant patrons, poured in the
great I Gildings, and thoe ho felt music
ally inclined, quickly occupied the seats
in the viciiiity of the band stand, in an
ticipation of the appearance of the famous

Patti. When they appeared, these public
favorites were greeted with tumultous ap

clearly fdiowetl their appreciation, as the
concert progressed, of both the band and

The buildings presented a handsome

Missouri's fctate buildir.g at the ex
position is a massive structure of the
composite order of architecture. It if
centrally and beautifully hx-ated and
in keeping with the niagnilieent build
ings which surround it. To the south
is the Art jrallery and to the east, just
across the avenue, is the Pennsylvania
buildiny, while to the le ft i the peculiarly-constructed
Florida head.juart'rs.
The gronnd plan of the Missouri build
ing ia square with a quarter circle
taken out of the southeast corner, to
correspond with the form of the junc
ture made by the two avenues upon
which it faces. It is S.tS(j feet, and is
two stories hig-h. In the front and
over the main entrance is an elliptical
dome 70 feet high, surmounted by a
lantern which has a towering- flag- pole
on its summit. The main entrance,
which is on the southeast corner, is of
cut brown stone from the quarries of
Warrensbur?, Mo. The remainder of
the structure is frame, covered with
staff, and the columns and pilasters
are of the same material.
The main entrance opens direct to
the rotunda with a mosaic tiled floor.
On cither side cf the rotunda are

its most beautiful rooms must be
reached through a narrow, dark pas-sag-e-way,
which cannot be di-milied
with the term of hallway. At the end
of this narrow hall are press rooms and
reading-room or library. The latter
room was decorated and furnished by
St. Louis. The furniture is of solid
oak and the room reminds the Ireholder
of ar.iumn days. The walls are deco
rated in two shades of olive green anil
stenciled in wood-brown; door and
window-frames have the same tone of
color, with carpet and hangings harmonizing-.
In this won hangs a life
sized portrait of J. N. Edwards, one of
Missouri's most celebrated journalists.
Brass chandeliers with opal globe fit

care of an artUt from that state. J. A.

the whole building and has blended
and harmonized colors so perfectly
that it is restful to gaze upon the

of the county and the room inconstant

artistic work, (rude minerals are ar

the light plays upon them they sparkle

gained to these rooms by minor en

trance, the one on the left leading to
the headquarters of Kansas City and
western Missouri and the one on the
ri?ht to headquarters of St- l-ouis and
the eastern part of the 6tato.
Two flights of stairs, very handsome,
in red and white oak. lead to the sec

a marble floor overhangs the main
entrance.
The stairways lead directly to a large
auditorium room, irregular in shape,
which occupies the center and larger
portion of the second floor. This was
furnished by the Sedalia women.
The dome is frescoed in design of
the French renaissance in soft tints of

the portraits of the governors of the
state.
On the southeast Corner are the par

of the stat, and they have been fur

Joseph and Kansas City. The former
is one of the daintiest rooms in the
liousi!. It windows are hung with
white silk drapery, sprayed with clus

over which fall tissue web lace cur

and ceiling which have been frescoed
in robia's-egg blue with border of apple
blossoms and roses. The floor is of hard
wood, with Turkish rugs, and here and
there are placed Turkish divans which
more than anything cheer the tired
wanderer who seeks this cool retreat

The Kansas City room is decorated
anil furnished in a similar manner as
the St. Joseph room, but has in addi

the women of Brookfield. Pope dra
peries and Irish point curtains are
hung at windows and doors.
In the Missouri building is the only
room set apart for the exclusive use of
the Travelers' Protective Association
of America and the room' was fur

color tone following the colors of their
association. The walls and ceiling are
pray stenciled with blue and gold.
The suite is divided into a reception
and smoking rooms. The hangings
for both rooms are of blue and white,
while the heavy cak furniture is up

Missouri's state building was erected
at a cost of 50,000 and isa structure in
every way a credit to her people. The
building contains thirty-two rooms,
each one richly ornamented, and ell
who come within its walls are made
to feel "This is home."
Over the front of the central dome Is
the word "Missouri in lare letters,
and at each corner of the octagonal
domes floats a bright banner bearing
the word of some particular industry
of the state.

as practicable, was built of Missouri

North Dakota and opposite Arkansas.
It is constructed on the plan of a
cruciform, and measures in frround
area U."xl.1S feet. The height is tvo
stories, an ! it is built of frame work
vcrfd with staff. The center of tho
building- is surmounted by an elliptical
'lass dome.
The main entrance is through an arch
IB feet wide which leads directly to the
exhibit hall, and gives a view of the
rear of tho building which was spei
cially designed for the valuable natural
history collection of the state univer
sity, which is one of the most notable
exhibits at the fair.
The bas-reliefs in front of the tower
represent the state when she was ad

crowned with the wealth of her end

In the main exhibit hall are repre

rests and can le operated from any
distance.
These large projectors are used for
coast defense, and the apparatus for
controlling them must be near the
hand of the commander. The light of
this projector can be seen, it is
claimed, under favorable conditions, a
distance of about eighty-five miles. A
newspaper can be read by its llrht at
a distance of eight miles, and when
standing lvoside the projector it is pos
sible to distinguish at night, with the
nid of a good field glass, the ship of a
friend from that of an enemy.
The lamp requires 1"0 ampcrs and 50
volts, i. e., twelve electrical horse
power. The surface intensity of this
mirror is P.M. 000.000 candle power.
The fact that the lights are superior
to all others lies in the parabolic mir
ror, and another important feature is
the automatic feeding horizontal car
