UNCLE SAM'S WONDERS All Executive Departments Send Treasures to the World's Hair. | Display Installed In the Largest Gov ernmental Exposition Building Ever j Constructed Precious Docu ments Relics of Famous Statesmen and Soldiers. Working Postal Exhibit. i The United States Governuieat build ing at the World's Fair occupies au elevated site just south of the main picture of the Exposition. The great ! central dome of the Government build ing is visible from the very center of the Fair, looking across tie picturesque sunken garden that lies between the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and Liberal Arts. The hill slope In front of the Gov ernment building is terraced with broad stairways almost completely covering the slope. The building is KOO feet long by 250 feet wide and Is the largest structure ever provided at an exposition by the federal government. Jt Is distinguished from all the other large buildings at the Exposition by the steel truss construction, the entire roof being supported by steel arches, forming a splendid domed ceiling. lu this building are installed the ex hibits or all the executive departments vf ?!..* i,overuuiei:t. The building Is a 1 .ist storehouse < i* an endless variety y 112 treasures dear to the heart of every true American. Precious documents are to be seen here, and the autographs of our great men of the past are on display. Belies of famous statesmen and soldiers, carefully preserved through generations, are exhibited. Each governmental department has In stalled an exhibit showing its official character and mode of operation. Entering the Government building from the eastern end, the visitor sees at his left a railroad postotiice car. This 1* not a men; coach standing idle, LOC LSIA.N A Pt'KCIIAKK MONUMENT, WOULD'S FAIR. but la one of the most improved mail cars. In which men attached to the United States railway mall service are actively engaged in "throwing" the mails. Here you will see the postal clsrks at work, Just as they work while speeding along a railroad track. A curious collection of old time rel ict from the postotiice museum at Washington illustrates as no verbal description can do the crude begin nings of the postal system. One of these relics Is an old fashioned stage coach that once carried United States mails through a portion of the Louisi ana purchase territory. President Roosevelt, who once inspected it, ex amined with a rough rider's interest ths bullet holes which stage robbers and mountain brigands shot through Its stiff leathern curtains. Generals Sherman and Sheridan and President Oarlield rode In this old coach during the strenuous days of frontier life. Among the collection of documents showing the primitive postal methods In vogue in the early days Is to be seeu the old book of accounts kept by ths first postmaster general. Benjamin Franklin, all written by hand. There Is a rare oollectiou of stamps, includ ing ancient Filipino, Porto Itican and Cuban stamps. The postofflce depart ment's exhibit occupies 12,469 square feet. Across tke aisle, at the right, is the exhibit of the new Department of Commerce and I.abor, occupying 1,900 square feet. This exhibit shows what the new executive department stands tor and what It is accomplishing. Mr. Carroll D. Wright, United States Com missioner of I.abor, had charge of the preparation of the exhibit. Charts ar ranged by him. showing the rapid growth of the nation In agriculture arts, manufacture, population, etc., ar» of special interest to sociologists and sll students of the labor problem. The Census Bureau exhibit Is made In this section. It shows the tabulating ma chines used in compiling the census re ports The Lighthouse Board, also op erating under this department, shows ths great revolving lenses In light bouses, with other interesting appli ances. The space in the projecting north west corner of the building Is devoted to the Library of Congress. The edl tWe which houses this library at Wash ington Is held by many architects to be the most beautiful building In ths world. Its interior decorations, by El mer Ellsworth Garnsey, furnish one of the chief delights of a visit to the national capital. A large model of this splendid building is a feature of the exhibit. The decorative features of the interior are reproduced In their original colors. The next exhibit on the right hand side of the central aisle is that of the Interior Department, occupying 11,792 square feet. In this large space the visitor finds so many thlugs of com pelling Interest that he is loath to leave. The Patent Office exhibit be longs to this section. There are mod els of mauy machines that have borne ■ n Important part in the development of the nation's industries. The earliest form of every device of human Inven tion. so .'ar as possible. Is shown here. For Instance, you may see the actual sewlug machine that was the first con trivance of Its kind every constructed; It was patented In 1840 by Ellas Howe. The first typewriter, patented by C. Thurber in 1842; the model of the first cast Iron plow, patented by Charles Neu-bold In 179T; the first screw pro peller. invented by Itobert Hook lu 1080; and many other "first" things are to l>e seen. The model of Abraham JJncoln a celebrated device for lifting I steamboats off shoals is shown bore, i The first harvesting machine, made in the year 150 B.

There Is also a model of the tlrst steam | engine, made tn Kgj'pt in the same j tear. j Every foot of the M),« I feet of i floor space in Uncle Sam's World's Fair building Is occupied by exhibits i of surpassing interest, and every phase I of the people's welfare is shown. CURIOUS THINGS FROM CHINA j The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen Are Part of Ihe Celestial Empire's World's Fair Exhibit. The Chinese exhibit at the World's I Fair is tilled with pleasing surprises, i Some ot' the most magnificent articles j of furniture are a part of this wouder j lid display. The curving and inlaying i of ivory, bone and wood illustrate the ; marvelous skiil of the Chinese.

One feature of the exhibit is two magnificent Chinese beds, each of which has the appearance of being a small house of great beauty. One is a summer bed, the other for winter. The summer bed Is hand carved and inlaid with ivory and bone figures and land scapes exquisitely carved and so skillfully Joined as to appear a part of the wood. The bed aud furniture are of carved bamboo. The bed consists of an anteroom, with tables, chairs aud tea stands, and in an inner room, which is the sleeping apartment, there is a couch with coverings of gauzy silks. The winter bed is still more elabo rate. It consists of three compartments. The first contains four chairs, a tea poy and a chest of drawers. This is the sit ting apartment. The second is the dress ing room, and the third is the sleep ing apartment, or the couch itself. The furniture is of rosewood inlaid with ivory carving of birds, flowers and trees. The couch is covered with silks of the finest texture and In gaudy col ors. The sleeping compartments are lighted with Chinese lanterns of silk hung at the outer entrance, while the light enters through gauze panels, hand painted and in forms of rosewood ln j laid with ivory figures. A table ami dish made of highly pol ished ash, with exquisitely carved bamboo figures inlaid, are shown. The work is so artistically done that each article seems to have been made of one piece of wood. There is also a large display of Chi nese lanterns made of silk, gauze and other light material and some made of beads artistically arranged with glass centers. The silk and gauze are beau tifully hand painted. There are models of some of the great Chinese temples, theaters and arches, showing elaborate carving in wood and ivory and two large elephant tusks exquisitely curved. WHARFAGE FREE AT ST. LOUIS Twenty Miles of River Front For Wa tsr Craft at World's Fair City. Free wharfage will be given to all boats landing at St. Louis during the World's Fair. Traffic Manager llil leary of the Exposition and Joseph P. Wliyte, harbor and wharf commission er of St. Louis, have decided on the lo cations assigned to the various kinds of boats. Yachts, steam launches and all boats propelled by their own power have been assigned wharf space between Choteau avenue and Piddle street. These streets, running east and west, form the boundary lines for the cen tral business district of the city. House boats have been assigned wharf space north of Riddle street and south of Choteau avenue. St. Louis has a river front of twen ty miles. The Broadway line of the Transit company parallels the river from the city limits on the north to Jefferson Barracks on the south. At no point are the cars more than live blocks from the Mississippi river. The World's Fair may be reached for one fare by transferring to any of the eight lines that cross Broadway and reach the Exposition grounds. No charge will be made for wharf age. Application for space should be made to the harbor and wharf com missioner at the City Ilall, on Twelfth street, between Market street and Clark avenue. Fifteenth Century Guns. In 1427, when the English In Nor mandy made their last assault on Mont Bt. Michel under Lord Scales, they at tacked it with "several powerful en gines and certain machines of war." Says an old writer, "They trained a battery so furiously against the walls that they made a breach." Among these formidable weapons were two enormous wrought iron guns, which they were compelled to leave behind on being obliged to raise the siege. They are still on exhibition with some of their projectiles In a railed inclosure Just inside the main entrance to the town. The guns are of the kind for merly called "bombards" and are of different sizes. The larger one has a caliber of nineteen inches, thirty and a quarter inches being the greatest ex ternal diameter and twelve feet the total length, of which about three feet four Inches belong to the smaller pow der chamber in the rear. It weighs very nearly si:: tons. The other gun weighs about a couple of tons less, la of fifteen inches caliber and eleven feet nine inches long. These weapons are not cast, but "built tip" guns, being formed of longitudinal bars about three Inches wide, arranged like the staves of a cask and bound round closely with Wrought Iron hoops. The "Michelets," as they are called, are most likel.y ot Flemish workmanship. Their projec tiles are made of hewn granite, and those for the larger gun have been es timated to weigh 300 pounds apiece. The powder chamber is capable of holding about forty pounds of explo sive LOTIIIK Vmlm IN Ml»er>". Two cots stood side by side in the Emergency hospital.

THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION The Achievements of Individuals and Na tions Faithfully Recorded by This Encyclopedia of Society. By FREUURII'K J. V. SKIFF, IJireet or of KxliibitM, World'* fair. "The wisdom of all ages is none too great for the world's work." In this siriKle salient sentence, uttered in his famous nddress at Buffalo In Septem ber, 1901, President McKlnley de scribed the object and the result of expositions. A modern universal exposition is a collection of the wisdom and achieve ments of the world, for the inspection of the world, for the study of its ex perts, by which they may make com parisons and deduction and develop plans for future improvements and progress. Such a universal exposition might well be called an encyclopedia of society. It constitutes a classified, compact, indexed compendium of the achievements aud ideas of society in all phases of its activity, extending to the most material as well as the most refined. It offers illustrations cover ing the full field of social performance, from the production of the shoes on our feet and the pavement beneath them to a presentation of the rarest and most delicate creations of the brains and hands of men in what are called the fine arts of civilization. The Universal Exposition In St. Lou is in 3904 will be such a social ency clopedia in the most comprehensive and accurate sense. It will give to the world in revised and complete details "a living picture of the artistic and in dustrial development at which man kind has arrived" and will actually provide "a new starting point from which all men may direct future exer tions." It will present for the Inspec tion of specialists In all lines of Indus trial and social endeavor and for the public an assembly of the best which the world has done and has to show In industry, art and science, and, what is very important, it will offer these achievements of society, these trophies of civilization, in a highly selected, ac curately classified array. The creators of the St. Louis Exposi tion have had the experience of all previous great expositions by which to plan and effect its hi>rh organization. The continuous and repeated burden of the message of experience banded down by all expositions has been more perfect, more effective classification and arrangement of exhibits. The classification of the St. Louis Exposition has been prepared to pre sent a sequential synopsis of the de velopments that have marked man's progress. On its bases will be as sembled the most highly organized ex position the world has yet seen. The St. Louis classification is divided into 10 departments, 144 groups and Bu7 classes. These grand departments in their order will record what man has accomplished at this time with his faculties, industry and skill and the natural resources at his command in the environment in which he has been placed. At the head of the Exposition clas sification has been placed Education, through which man enters social life. Second comes Art. showing the condi tion of his culture and development. Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences are placed third, to indicate the result of his education and culture, illustrate his tastes and demonstrate his inventive genius, scientific attainment and artis tic expression. These three depart ments equip liim for the battle and prepare him for the enjoyments of life. The raw material departments, Agri culture, Horticulture, Mining and For estry, show how man conserves the forces of nature to his uses. The De partment of Manufactures will show what he has done with them; the De partment of Machinery the tools he has used. The Department of Trans portation will show how ho overcomes distances and secures access to all parts of the world. The Department of Electricity will indicate the great forces he has discovered and utilized to convey power and Intelligence. And so through tin- several departments to Anthropology, In which man studies man; and to Social Economy, which will illustrate the development of the human race, how It has overcome the difficulties of civilization and solved problems In which society is involved. Last is placed physical culture, in which .man, his Intelligence having reached the supreme point, Is able to treat himself as an animal, realizing that his Intellectual and moral consti tutions require a sound physical body to prompt them to the proper perform ance of their function. Education is the keynote of the Uni versal Exposition of 1904. Each de partment of the world's labor and de velopment will be represented at St. Louis, classified and installed In such manner that all engaged or Interested in such branch of activity may come and see, examine, study and go away advised. Each of the separate sections of the Exposition will be an equivalent of—or, rather, will be in actuality a comprehensive and most effective ob ject lesson In—the line of industrial and social achievement and progress which its presents. Cost of Seeing the World's Fair. From any point within 3fJO miles of i St. Louis a person may travel to the World's Fair this year, view the won ders of the Exposition for three days and expend the same money he would i pay in any other year for truin fare I alone. This is an absolute fact. The Western Passenger Association has agreed on a ten day excursion rate, 2">o miles or more from St. Louis, for one and one-tifth fare for the round trip.

Ample hotel accommodations have been provided for 1 lie World's Fair visitors at St. Louis both within and outside of the Exposition grounds. The Exposition management has or ganized a free information service. A pamphlet has been issued for gratui tous circulation explaining many of the conveniences that have been pro vided. A list of all the hotels, with rates, is contained in this pamphlet. The entire city has been canvassed, and many thousands of private house -1 PORTION OF VAIIIEX) INDUSTRIES BUILD ING, WORLD'S FAIR holders have arranged to receive visit ors. These houses are in every section of the city, and the rates at which guests will be received Is a matter of record on the books of the bureau. The Inside inn, a hotel on the Ex position grounds, has a capacity for 6,000 guests. The Exposition manage ment has control of the rates, which have been fixed at from $1.50 to $3.50 per day, European plan. Including ad- mission to the grounds. On the Amor- j Iran plan the rates range from $3 to $5 per day. The hotel Is 400 by 800 feet and Is three stories high. There are more than 150 established hotels in St. I.ouis. and a signed agree- j ment has been made between many of their managers with the Exposition of- j flciuls that rates shall not be raised during the Exposition period. Many | new hotels have been built on sites ad jacent to the Exposition grounds, and ! the published fixed rates warrant the assertion that no one need pay exor- | bitant rates for accommodations either i at hotels or private houses. Among the new hotels may be men- ; tioned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte, i which stands at Clayton avenue and Skinker road, overlooking the Exposi- 1 tion grounds. This hostelry will ac commodate 5.000 persons. The rates, j European plan, are from $1 to $5 per j day. The (Jrnnd View hotel, south of i the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has | a capacity for s,o<«i guests, and the rates are $1 to $1.50 per day, European, j and $2 to $2.50 per day on the Ainer- j lean plan. The Kenllworth, on West Park boulevard and Billon avenue, has a capacity of 1.500 guests, with a rate of $1.50 per day. The above mentioned are a few of the new hotels that have been erected near the Exposition grounds for the accoin modution of World's Fair visitors. All j told there are about twoscore. All are within easy walking distance, and all are situated on high ground, with com ! prehensive views of the grounds. All of the structures are well built, and in i some of them the most luxurious qunr- j ters are obtainable. The rates are es- j tablished and will not be increased dur- 1 ing the Exposition. NEW MUSIC FOR WORLD'S FAIR Three Compositions by Famou: People. 1 Band Tournament. Musical people and all who appreci- ! ate good music may thank the World's J Fair for three notable compositions, : written upon the invitation <>f the Ex position management.
