DISTANCES AT THE FAIR

The World' Fair le not only wondertul
exposition of the glolw's Industrial, mechan
ic and artistic progress, tut It la a "city of
magnificent distance. " Speaking of the
Immense apace covered by the Fair, the Chi
eago Record says t
Borne poor weak woman who eotiM not
travel four block downtown without loard
Ing a horsecar will walk five miles at Jack
on I'ark. Hhe does n reallr. It at th
time. All the time something la happening
to engage the mind. The long Jaunt la taken
la homeopathic doses. J0 yard at a ttme. It
haa often liwn remarked, and there la no
harm In re-atlng It now. that fie general
Hgneen of tli Intra around the Fxposltlon
stives delusive Ideas of distance. The visitor
haa an experience like that of a "tenderfoot"
la the Buckle who concludes to walk over to
eertatn p-ak tmforn breakfast, and after
traversing a few mil. la told thnt he will le
there More night If he keep moving. Tlie
etxcnrslonlst at the Fair often forma a haety
conclusion that he nan see nearly everything
la a day. Afterward he la ready to admit
that he couldn't cover the ground'ln week
on a bleynle.
Take the l'lalsance, for Instance. From
the Cot lave (trove avenue gate to the en
trnnc Inun the oiain grounds la exactly one
mile. The man or the wo:nan, however, who
wanders out to thn limit of the Plaiaance
and then lack attain doe not travel In a
straight lino. He or aim makes diagonal
cots acroas the roadway trom one nolay allow
to the other, strays off Into pockets and
probably trampa a quarter of a mile In Java
or old Vienna. forgetting that each of these
boars Is a little rlty .f Itself. In fact, a
Journey Into the plnbumce and tatck will
mean not far fron three miles of walking If
the slghl-soer la nt all la.iuxirt.ptn. once
understand why yon were so tired out at
night and went to sleep on the way home,
your head resting on the shoulder of a per
fect stranger. Any man who started at Madi
son street and walked to Jackson Park would
think he was performing a feat of endurance.
He comes to Jackson Tark and covers the
same distance without knowing It. Why Is
It? Thoan who have studied the strange
ways of humanity aay it is because he la
buoyed up and exhilarated hy novel sights
and kept on the prance, by rousing mualo.
Ilia mind Is so buay that he forgets about his
lege.
How far must a man walk to see all the
Fair? This is a hard question to answer, but
here are some falrlv accurate figures on the
larger buildings. If you wiah totraveraethe
main aisles In the Manufactures lltiiMIng,
Juat to get a good general Impresaloa but
without edging around thousand of show
cnace, you will rind nine main aisles eaatand
west, each 750 feet long, a total length of
6750 feet. The north and south aiales, eleven
In number, are each 17.VI feet long, making
a total length of 19,'i.',0 feet. This make
itfi.dOQ feet, a trifle leaa thnn five mil'. The
minimum estimate for the gallery on the
same haols la 12,500 teet. This doea not
allow for pawing through the narrow alalea
of open exhltilta. It refers only to whnt
might property ! railed tho at re. t a and ave
nuee. Furthermore, It does not allow for
doubling up on each thoroughfare. The
visitor must so both sides at tbe same
time.
Machinery Hill has five eat and weat
alalea, each 1S00 (net long. To pass through
these; niilres 6.VK) leet of travel. There are
eight mam alalea north and south, each VK)

In the booUs. Italy ts Jealous ot her book

of the beet arranged au l moat unique dis

What is more, it was made expressly tor the
