radiates from froin the globe at the top then dies out to be repeated again and again at regular intervals it is the spectacular representation tation ot 0 lightning and the effect wrought by the use of the colored glass is certainly beautiful if not as ao impressive and startling as can be seen sometimes in the original another striking sinking display is that of RD an immense revolving pillar

ot of buildings notable chiefly for the suggestion eug of power intelligence and ingenuity combined in its the transportation building where may be seen another array of exhibits illustrating the almost super human achievements resulting from the application ot of human intelligence to in utilizing inert foreen forces of nature tor for the civilization of the world here are the various types of railway conveyances vey ances irom the awkward models of the first locomotive and passenger car of the early part of the century to the improved engines and palace care of today the model of fulton

locomotion and travel of today are some of the objects object contained within the princely building devoted to this individual display uta play ahse wh se importance considering the part they have played as factors in the worlds world a progress and civilization makes justifiable the eminent distinction implied by the space and structure assigned them the transportation building is to la fact one of the me handsomest and most imposing structures on the grounds it dif differs forli from the majority of the great general buildings in regard to color the most of the others being of pure white and these of a handsome corn com biniok of green and gold the ex gerior walls are ornamented with tatu statu ary and historical and decorative painting and over each entrance an appropriate motto or quotation Is IB inscribed in gold the principal feature of the structure however la Is the great golden arch which forms forma the chief en trance to the building this consists cone iata of a series of receding arches which give a grand perspective effect heightened by the vista opening beyond which is formed by the arrup arrangement gement of the various partitions inside the building between the transportation and electricity buildings stands the structure devoted to mines minea and mining exhibits a building which in the opinion of many MADY is 19 the most moat interesting in the list of the great edifices devoted to general display in the pair fair grounds with the exception of the liberal arts building in fact no other structure perhaps contains so varied and imbor aalt an array of exhibits coal iron and the hundred other minerals mine rala which figure in the solid industries of the world gold and alive silar r and jewels salt sulphur hur asphaltum and the myrald my raid other substances ranked in the list of economic miner als marbles and building stones last jasper or and ana onyx and a thousand other things known amongst the precious substances in the earth and sea for the use of man through untold ages age all these and other objects too numerous to mention are found within the great space apace of the palatial building making indeed a wonderful array the ada rehan kehan statue made entirely of solid silver in the montana pavilion is one of the chief among the special displays ol of precious objects and a number of bars ban ot of pure gold beabe one upon another are other interesting features of the same pavilion in the australian south african and brazilian sect sections luns are arrays of previous jewels diamonds rubles rubies sap gap alires avd and emeralds etc cut and uncut which make a magnificent and dazzling display up stairs we find an interesting ex babit of copies or rather imitations of the rare and famous jewels of the ear h the real atones being of course of too immense value to risk transportation and exhibition in so public a place there Is the Kohl Kohin noor diamond of aff carats barats valued at the great mogul ot of carats barats valued at more than double the price of the above and a number of other precious stones atones diamonds ruble rubies sapphires sapp hires etc whose immense value have rendered them famous the world which many people have traveled leagues to see placed here in imitation to be sure but interesting as furnishing one with an idea of the appearance pe arance of these theme wonderful stones whose beauty and worth have passed into a proverb there is enough real wealth contained within the building however to thoroughly satisfy the gaze that gloats on precious objects ald e ent it if all
