Show Tun dispatches from Chicago i n i i cale that tho exposition will have a tower feature attached eclipsing Kit r fa's great effort in Paris. 'Che tower Is to be 1 lo"! feet high. It may be a prolitable enterprise, but if Chicago should not secure some smoke consuming device to be put into general gen-eral use before J Slt:. visitors to the tower will find the exalted trip exceedingly exceed-ingly dreary. Tho tens of thousands of tons of I Itumiuoiis coal consumed in that city every day emits a cloud of smoke so dense that a large part of the city would bo invisible een from such an elevated point of view. Tho watery expanse to the east, the prairies to the west and the throbbing metropolis below, would constitute a grand panorama pano-rama if the smoke could be done away with, and if there is to be such a tower at tho exposition, Chicago should make au effort to secure a clear held of vision for those who ascend it. |
