the Kruumls ere about a mile and a
quarter and from oast to west half a
mile. The grounds are situated In the
'northern part of Buffalo and are eas
ily reached cither direct or by transfer
ticket by all the electric car lines con
stituting the city's perfect street rail
way system. On the northern side are
the tracks of the Now York Central
Bolt Line, to which the 2"! steam rail
ways entering Buffalo will have access
during the Exposition. The southern
portion of the grounds Is a part of Del
aware Park nud contains a lake of Ir
regular shape more than half a mile
long, Indicated by letter B on the
ground plan. Tills part of the Exposi
tion plot Is already very beautiful, the
city of Buffalo having spent many thou
sands of dollars In planting shrubs and
trees of many rare species and In pro
ducing landscape effects that give to
the eye a beautiful vista from every
point uf view.
The inn in southern entrance of the
Exposition Is on Lincoln Parkway, In
dicated by the letter A. At the left as
you enter will bo the beautiful Al
bright Art Gallery, built of white mar
ble ami costing upward of $350,000.
This is the gift of a citizen of Buffalo,
Mr. J. J. Albright, and will be n per
manent fireproof building for public
uses devoted to art. On the right Is
the beautiful new boathouse and shel-
-ter erected by the city of BufTalo.
Crosslug the bridge between the lake
and the North Bay. the Now York
State building may be soon on the north
bank of the bay. This also Is of white
marblp, u reproof and a permanent
Structure. It will be devoted, after the
'Exposition, to the uses of the Buffalo
Historical Society.
Continuing up the flight grade across
the bridge, we now come to the "Ap
proach" (D), whore we get the first
broad view of the wonderful group of
buildings devoted to the various ex
hibit divisions of the Exposition.
It will be noted by reference to the
ground plan that the buildings nre
grouped around a system of courts
which have been aptly described as In
the form of an Inverted letter T. The
transverse court, corresponding to the
cross of the T, Is the Esplanade, capa
ble of accommodating 250,000 people.
North of this, corresponding with the
(perpendicular of the T. are the Court
tof Fountains and the Plaza, which
Tench almost to the northern limits of
the grounds. On either side of the
Court of Fountains are the subordinate
courts known as the Court of Cypresses
end Court of Lilies. These several
courts have a combined area of 83
acres, Im la far more extensive than

ami, on account of the unusual area,
greater opportunity is given for elabo

in all tiio courts arc to be large pouis
into which beautiful cascades ami won
derful fountains will throw their clsrs
tal streams. To the water features
will be added the garden effects. These
will comprise large sunken gardens,
witli formal beds of rare ami beautiful
fBrmK'.'
flowcrs, and many plants of a highly
decorative character will be displayed
throughout the courts. The grounds
outside the main group of buildings
are also to be richly adorned with hor
ticultural and floral features. The hor
ticultural exhibits, to which about sev
en acres are devoted In the southern
part of the grounds, will contribute
much to the decorative effect In this
exhibit will be over fiOO bods, many of
them containing hundreds of plants of
a single variety of flowers,
The exterior walls of all the build
ings of the Exposition nre to be of
staff. All cornices, corners, window
openings nud entrances nre receiving
very elaborate adornment In modeled
plastic work. This ornamentation Is
of n far more elaborate and Intricate
chnractor than heretofore used on any
exposition. Tlie roofs of all the build
ings are to he of red tile, and tl liter
walls are to be painted In harmonious
colors, giving a most pleasing effect to
the eye.
Tills Exposition will stand preemi
nent in point of original sculpture.
There will bo more than 120 groups of
magnificent original works by some 30
or more American Bculptors of note.
This grand scheme Is under the person
al direction of Karl Bitter, who was in
charge of a similar work at the World's
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
CHlNEseWLBlSGl
PAN-AMtRICAK EXPoalTHM
Owing to the nearness of Niagara
Falls, with Its unlimited power, the
large area of the courts and the nr
range mcut of the buildings about these
courts. It lias been made possible to
present nn electrical display far more
elaborate and grand than any before
conceived. Some 5,000 horsepower and
more than 200,000 Incandescent electric
lamps will be employed In this wonder
ful Illumination. The centerpiece of
tills display will be the Electric Tow
er, a structure of superlative beauty
standing between the I'lnza nnd the
Court of Fountains. This glorious work,
designed by John Onion Howard, Is
375 feet high, In Its southern face Is
a beautiful cascade, 30 feet wide and
70 feet high, falling upon a terraced
base. This cascade and all the foun
tains of all the courts will be richly il
luminated at night In n great variety
of colors, giving nn effect of fantastic
and enchanting beauty.
Standing In the Fore Court (E) and
looking north, immediately In front. Is
the Triumphal Bridge (Ol. This bridge
will be one of the most beautiful works
of the Exposition, having four great
piers surrounded and surmounted by
sculptured groups modeled by Mr. Bit
ter and others. Crossing the bridge,
we may see on the extreme right the
I3!
ttiree great "buildings erecfed by the
national government for the shelter of
its extensive exhibits gathered from all
departments. On the extreme left are
the Forestry nud Minos, Horticulture
and Graphic Arts buildings. At the
northeast corner of the Esplanade and
Court of Fountains Is the Ethnology
building, and on the opposite corner Is
the Temple of Music. Next north, on
the right, is the Manufactures and Lib
eral Arts building nnd on the left the
Machinery nnd Transportation build
ing. North of the Mall, on the right. Is
the Agriculture building and on the
left the Electricity building. In the
center Is the Electric Tower. In the
northeast comer of the grounds Is the
Stadium, with Its largo entrance build
ing (Z). Opposite, on the west side of
the Plaza, is the largo entrance to the
Midway. On the north is the 1'ropy-
Ueo, or monumental entrance, and be
yond this the great building hut recent
ly found to lie necessary for transpor
tation exhibits and, forming a part of
tills, the splendid railway station. Two
now buildings, one devoted to dairy
products and the other to agricultural
machinery, are being erected, but not
shown In the plan. The live stock dis
play Is east of the Manufactures ami
Liberal Arts building. In the south
eastern part of the grounds are the
state ami Foreign buildings, the six
Nations Indian exhibit, the Philip
pines. Ordnance and Forestry exhibits

One of the chief architectural fea
tures at the Pan-American Exposition
will bo the splendid Temple of Music
This will be the center for musical in
torosts nt the great All-American Ex
position. Music lovers will naturally
wend their way to this building very
soon nfter arrival upon the grounds,
and botli here nnd from the bnnd
stands In the great Esplanade and In
the Plaza they will always And some
entertainment In progress which "will
appeal to their love of musical art.
The Music Temple Is well along to
ward completion. Its architecture Is a
free treatment of the Spanish Ittuais
sance. It being octagonal In form, with
pavilions at the corners. The grand
entrance Is nt the corner of the Es
planade and Court of Fountains, the
spacious courts upon which most of
the principal buildings of the Exposi
tion have their frontage. The cornice
and balustrade are of elaborate compo
sition, the latter bearing names familiar
to the musical world. The interior of
the temple will be particularly tine in
Its SCUlpturM and color decorations.
The exterior of the luiililtfljj will be
ornate In architectural features and
groups of sculpture designed to Illus
trate the purpose and character of the
building. A dome whose crowu Is 130
feet above grade and whoso Interior Is
brilliant Willi golden tints and other
rich hui's gives an Imposing llnlsli to
the structure. Star shaped windows in
the drum of the dome admit abundant
light to the large auditorium. This will
seat 1,200 persons, and with the addi
tional seating capacity afforded in the
balconies fully 2.000 persons can be ac
commodated. The decorations of the
Interior will illustrate such subjects as
the grand divisions of Music, Oratorio.
Grand Opera. Symphonic Music, etc.
The sculptor will typify such subjects
as religious music, lyric music, gay
music, heroic music, etc.
The great organ for the Temple of
Music, which Is to cost $10,000. is un
der construction by Etmnous Howard
,V Son. and already there Is much
eagerness among the leading organists
of the United States to have the privi
lege of playing upon it during the Ex
position. Two recitals by prominent
exponents of this branch of musical
art will be given each day. Concerts
by the lending instrumental organlza-
I tions of America nnd Europe will he
j given every day during the progress of
I the Exposition In the Music Temple
nnd from the band stands In the Pla.a.
Esplanade and other parts of the
' grounds. In connection with the sub
, Joct of music nt the Pan-American Ex
position mention should be made of
the notable attractions to music lovers
to be provided at the great SaengeiTest
j of the North American Sacngerbund.
Which will open In Buffalo ou Monday
evening. Jane 2-i. 190L
No fenture of the Pan-American Ex
position will be of more Importance
than the exhibit of mines nnd metal
lurgy. The building to be devoted to
these exhibits Is one of a group of
three magnificent structures, arranged
In the form of a horseshoe, at the west
ern boundary of the Esplanade. The
Mines building is the southernmost of
the group and Is connected with the
Horticultural building by one of the
conservatories which flank the Horti
cultural building on the north and
south. It Is 150 feet square, and at
each of the four corners it has a square
I tower 00 feet high. The eastern fa
cade, looking upon the Esplanade,
shows three high recessed arches be
tween the towers, forming an open
loggia elaborately and beautifully or
namented with plastic detail and deco
rated In brilliant colors. From tills
loggia are the main entrances to the
the corner towers. The ornamental de
tail Is very picturesque and interest
ing. The design Is by Peabody &
Stearns of Boston.
Never was the science of metallurgy
or skill In mining more highly devol
0ed thnu In the present day. The
golden decorations of King Solomon's
Temple nre estimated to have cost
1200,000.000. Ever since the account
in the book of Genesis of finding gold
along the river Pison, a stream which
flows from Uie Garden of Eden, the seek
ing for and mining of gold have been
among the most fascinating Industries.
The production of gold throughout the
world during the present century has
steadily increased. The production In
the United states In 1809 amounted to
$72,500,000, while that of the who!"
world Is given at $315,000,000, thus giv
ing the United states the tirst position
In production of gold of any country.
In tbe matter of copper the United
States produces 223,000 tons annually,
or more than one-half of the world's
output. The United States and Mexico
are the two greatest silver producing
countries. In other mining produc
tions, the commercial value of which Is
considerably greater than thnt of the
precious metals, the countries of Pan
America also lead the world. I Miring
the last year the coal output of the
United States reached the enormous
amount of 225,000,000 tons. This, as
compared with Great Britain's output
of about 200,000.000 tons aud Ger
many's 100,000,000 tons, makes tbe
question of the future production of
coal, considering the rapid increase In
America and tbe fact that European
production has reached its limit nnd
Is already declining, especially note
worthy at this time. The Canadian
output of coal and iron Is an item of
gn at Itnpi rtance. The near proximity
of Iron ami coking coal ami the proper
fluxes gives Canada a great advantage
In the manufacture of iron and sieol
The advancement Of these industries
111 North America during tbe past dec
ade litis been phenomenal, the total pro
ductlon of the United States last year
amounting In value to $413,758.41-1 and
of nonmetnlllo substances to a total of
(001,872,031.
Nearly $.000,000 will be required to
tonstltlCt and equip the wonderful
Midway at the Pan-American Exposi
tion, The greatest care has been taken
io prevent any approach toward the
"fake" show, and the visitor may rest
assured that be will not lie subjected
to fraud or extortion so long as lie re
mains upon the Exposition grounds. It
Is difficult to single out any attraction
In this section as more prominent or
worthy than another, for all have their
special merit and novelty.
The subject of the nceompnnylng Il
lustration, the Beautiful Orient,' will
represent life as It existed In the East
before the advent of the modern tour
ist. Gaston Akoun, director of this
concession, Is arranging to have native
representative characters to convey
proper Impressions of oriental customs
and manners of living. He will have
plenty of room In which to display the
different salient features that would
appeal In the strongest terms to people
accustomed to our western civilisation,
A holy Mecca will be the meeting place
of tired and worn pilgrims who will
constantly arrive, make their offerings
In the vnrlous mosques or religious
temples nnd disperse. Eight streets
will diverge from this objective polut,
each representing a distinctive local
section of the orient. A street In Con
stantinople will be thoroughly Turkish,
even to the vagabond dogs. Morocco
will be represented by n street which
will Illustrate the life aud habits of
"he Moors. Algerian life will receive
attention, nnd n street will be borrow
ed from Algiers for the purpose. Typ
ical Illustrations In a like manner will
be taken from Egypt. Tunis, Persia.
Tripoli and Turkey in Asia. While
looking through these sections visitors
could easily Imagine themselves In the
midst of the ancient city, the counter
part of which they are visiting.
A Bedouin Arab encampment will
lend variety, and Sahara desert no
mads will live in their Interesting char
acteristic way. Natives from all coun
tries will live on the grounds with their
camels and different domestic oriental
animals, cabins, tents and huts. Res
taurants, teahouses, shops nud fruit
t&nds for the sale of oriental goods of
great variety will be provided. The
Beautiful Orleut Is tinder the same
management ns tbe streets of Cairo,
which was so popular at the World's
fair, though It will be three times as
large. About 300 orientals will be em
ployed In different ways with this at
traction, a conglomerate enstern city
with distinct local features-a history
In n nutshell.
Within 500 miles of Buffalo are the
homes of more than 40,000,000 people,
which Is more than the entire porrula
tlon of the country at the time of the
Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
It Is about twice the number living
within the same distance of Chicago.
The groat Falls of Niagara constitute
an Important attraction to tourists who
expect to visit the Exposition, ns they
are only half an hour's ride from the
Exposition grounds, and excellent rail
way accommodations are provided be
tween the cities of Buffalo nnd Niagara
Falls. Near at hand nlso Is the great
summer school In the grove on Lake
Chautauqua's shores, known as the
Chautauqua Assembly.
Buffalo has a population of nearly
400,000, and this Is the first great Ex
position held In the east since the Cen
tennial, 25 years ago. For tbe several
reasons here noted It Is expected that
the attendance to the Pan-American
Exposition will be very large and that
the results will be very gratifying In
the promotion of trade among all the
states and nations of tbe western hemi
sphere and in the establishment of
more cordial relations among all the
people of the western world.
