railroad it Is a magnificent illusion wherein the visitor in the course of a short half hour makes the entire trip over the longest single track railway in the world from moscow to that centre of present day interest the scat of war in the east manchuria the traveler leaves the trail and enters a reproduction of the railway station at moscow where lief purchases his ticket and enters a real train of real cars luxuriously appointed and realistically headed by a puffing locomotive selecting a seat by a window one is just settled when a bell rings pie locomotive toots its shrill warning wheels rumble the wall and platforms slide away behind and a most magnificent view of moscow bursts upon ine vision churches mosques palaces rear gilded domes minarets mina steeples and spires in the shimmering sunlight neath a sky of intense blue moscow is left behind and houses trees and fence flash by in the foreground while an back ground seems to alp slowly away along winding streams over bridges past thriving villages and through teeming cites the passenger is carried then comes the climb up nd across the brals urals where superb mountain view sand scenery untold to tho wondering eye at lat tho steppes are reached those vast rolling plateaus chich extend so far in siberia and beautiful indeed is tha scene they present in their spring verdure but the scene swiftly changes clouds roll up and thicken till the bun is overcast and the day darkened then a flake of snow and another and another till the train seems rushing through a swirling wind driven mabb of flakes and all without la covered with a white shroud on and on through and out of the storm and into the glad once more and I 1 lake baikal that vast siberian inland sea appears in the distance atad still through beautiful siberian scenery and on and on into atad through manchuria to and through mukden of which so much was recently written and where the worlds greatest battle was recently fought past many othea quaint towns and queer cities and to port arthur where the traveller beholds that city which became the wonder of the world while so long resisting stubborn siege and there Is the harbor where japanese valor and unexpected dagli destroyed dussias Rus sias hopes of success upon the sea while beyond shines the soa oy japan the traveler reluctantly rises from his comfortable seat and with a sigh of satisfaction and satisfaction at having witnessed so many beauties and experienced so many interesting delights regret that his trip js soon over walks from the train and is ao surprised to find not in port arthur but out op the trail once more this wonderful reproduction Is the only attraction from the st louis words fair installed in its perfect entirety at portland at the great expense of one hundred thousand dollars these immense reproductions buado from photographs are extremely interesting and instructive and are readily recognized by returned travelers who have made ther actual trip then we visited tho haunted castle walking down the tray at the lewis and dark exposition is lively attracted toward A tower backed ir by a towering cliff over which rs a beautiful cascade this is the haunted castle and never has a more beautiful homo of illusion been built than here presented by the amusement company under the direction of mr J A german from without all la architecturally perfect while within all is beauty the entrance Is the masterpiece of decoration on the trail but is merely a forerunner of the beauties within passing into this ahot story without words one agenda to iho vestibule where all suggests what is to folla on and into he darkened ghost hall whore skeletons stare and gibber and ghosts flit about bones sail through the air and suddenly jump together into completed and daile to weird music headless forma body lesa beadi and shadowy forms float about instruments are played by unseen hands and anon ghostly figures play ameen instruments here are depicted all the scenes of which ghost stories tell and anosi la thriller and enthralled with interest in this haunted cast lethe often called the devil from hla dark cave and frightened miss hutchins 0 o badly she has not recovered from tile shock she was not alone I 1 in the excitement for boat load at the rear were 0 o frightened the boat could pot and tho greal mon ster had them hypnotized for a few moments from here one enters the beautiful illusion room an exact replica of tho famous prize room ot the paris exposition the decorations here are superb making the handsomest and finest illusion room any exposition has ever seen enough cannot be said in praise of the beautiful illusions themselves displayed in perfection fec tion the rose of portland and spider and fly are perhaps the finest and certainly inexplicable leaving the illusion room one is shot to the trail once more and wander soa in search of other attractions w ell knowing that nowhere alae will he get BO much for hia money in the incubator then we entered the incubator exhibit for human babies have ou seen tta incubator babies they are the feature par excellence every other attraction pales in significance ance before this life saving humanitarian mani scientific curio the infant incubators it you miss seeing them miss seeing the tiny mites of humanity in their castles you miss ona of the most instructive and interesting Interest ipg sights they are in buildings especially constructed for the incubators and everything ery thing pertaining thereto Is admirably and arranged under the supervision of doctors couney and these are the bame physicians who had charge of the world celebrated victorian era exhibition in earls court london the trana exposition ln omaha and the pan american exposition in buffalo there is nothing of the fake catchpenny idea about the infant incubators on the contrary they are founded on a purely scientific baah and are endorsed by the entire medical fraternity and are models the babies there are all of premature birth how did they como to be in incubators where do the doctors get them are they really alive the same as other babies not reared in incubators ba tors are questions asked of the lecturers choso whoso duty it Is to deliver from time to lime brief and lectures on the apparatus itself and the institution in general the answers are as simple as ill questions by the inquiring visitors are natural albeit often very humorous jn the first place it should be said that the public has peculiar notions concerning this institution the word incubators to the uninformed is apt to suggest something mors than the rearing or life and consequently is more or jess coffus ing once you satisfy the average individual that the babies in the incubators are really alive that they are weaklings wea klings uny prematurely bom infants and the next thing he will want to know is if they are orphans or foundlings the fact is that they alq neither and they may be of high or low degree for example milady of one of our prominent families gives birth to a baby girl so weak and fragile that its chances of lifa under ordinary condi liona and the best condl i eions that medical science can supply in the aristocratic household would be infinitesimal what Is to be done miladys physician suggests the incubators and if she Is ale she promptly submits to his judgment this imi piles of course tho immediate transfer of he infant aristocrat from the mansion to the incubator institution the same thing applies to babies born in every other station of life high or low rich or poor black or white the doctors who conduct this institution for the preservation of infant life make no distinction have no preference all they ask is that the physicians and public in general shall operate cooperate co with them in this truly noble and laudatory work they ask no charge whatsoever tor the care of the infants and abo only tax involved Is a slight admission fee which while it bars the disinterested undesirable class of visitors is essential to the proper conduct and maintenance of the institution itself the number of prematurely born infanta your physicians will toll you Is much larger than you would think from 15 to 30 in births according to the best authorities the profession regards scientifically speaking all infants to be prematurely born who do not weigh over alve pounds nine ounces at birth the number of deaths until he introduction of this system was steadily increasing in a progressive ratio that may be connected with he markedly increased employment of women in industrial occupation in any case the time would appear to have now come to seriously consider any proposition that offers to save these little lives to the world especially one that claims to save three fourths of all that are placed in its to quote from the prospectus of this institution nearly all infants weighing less than two pounds three ounces dlo on the day of their birth if the weight is from 3 pounds 3 ounces to 3 pounds 5 ounces nearly halt of them are saved by the aid of this apparatus it he weight la from 3 pounds S ounces to 4 pounds 1 ounces 12 per cent are saved tf the weight is from 4 pounds 7 ounces alo C pounds 9 ounces 30 per cent ara figved with children weighing wore than 5 pounds 9 ounces the percentage of mortality is so infinitesimal that all are saved the incubators and the ventilating bubea are silvered giving them a bright and cheerful appearance inside through glass doors may be been the baby resting on a fine wire hammock looking clean and comfortable wrapped in a tiny spread and tied around a pretty pink or blue ribbon tor all tho world like a bonbon at the holidays the temperature which is usually set at 85 to degrees Is regulated by a delicate thermostat tho apparatus Is not the all important feature by any means apart from tho trained and wet nurses he babies have the constant service of three physician and at night as well as in the day tircio they arc fed from the breast ayery two hours in tho nursery there Is a small pharmacy contrivances for sterilizing milk ingenious feeding bottles and scales to delicately constructed that the infants may be weighed before and alter feeding feeing and their progress duly observed next we visited the most intelligent horse on earth princess trixye and the diving elk the lewis and dark exposition have obtained a premier attract ionin princess and the diving elk tor princess is the best educated horse on earth or anywhere else she was selected in preference over beautiful jim key the wonder and success of the st louis exposition and hans the world famed berlin horse after a most thorough investigation no greater insult can bo offered mr W II 11 barnea than to call a trained horse tor she is educated and not trained her education commenced at the tender age of three weeks and has continued till the present day when she is in her tenth year sho rings up purchases and makes change on the national cash register she can add multiply subtract and divide figures to sums of one hundred play musical instruments distinguish colors describes gowns hat and costumes reads and spells and roost wonderful of all will tell you the time as indicated by any watch shown her indeed trixie effectually demonstrates to the most that bhe haa not only been taught the english language but can converse without the uso of words on her part her performance is most wonderful and she has already won the wondering admiration of thousands of fair visitors and attracted mora attention than anything on the trail this educated horse actually decided that miss lillian newton was the best looking lady among fifteen that were sitting on tho front row ot eata in tho audience and described her by tho color of her cap waist and dress tho diving elk are the only trained elk in the world usually this animal being supposed to bo not amenable to kind treatment but to be always vicious man killers by kind and rational treatment sir barnes has demonstrated that this Is a fallacy he can drive them in harness and has taught them to make a most forty foot dive from the top of tho building to an immense tank below the elk have become one of the greatest successes of tho trail as they were at paris london crystal palace berlin pan american at buffalo and hundreds of european and american cities either tridio or the elk alono are worth a trip of hundreds of miles to pee but the combination of the two attractions makes the admission charged seem ridiculously email either one being worth far more princess tridio and tho elk must not be missed the mirror of maze then we visited the haunted mirror or mirrors of maze here you ses yourself in every conceivable shape size width height you are thin thick and fat this was tho most remarkable combination of mirrors ever gathered in ono spot on earth you ought to see how mrs glasmann would appear if she weighed pounds just the cutest fatty you ever saw and the bishop he was presented at pounds weight the longest thinnest stretched bouc bishop ever seen and all the others in the same distorted proportions y 4 do we like the trail well we should say so it was 1130 when wo camp horns last night and I 1 am sure it will be later tonight we have about finished the exhibits and are anxious to hit the trail some more we met some of the salt lake tele gram girls wandering around last night their manager just turns them loose and they rustle for themselves our party must stay together or thera is trouble our bishop talks cross to us sometimes when some of us think we ought to detach ourselves from the party but since we have seen that we are to see everything here we hug pretty close together even then wa lose one or two for a few minutes wg change our eating place each meal excepting breakfast we have dined at the Bl little hungary the administration restaurant the deitche house and several otner places all inside the fair grounds and at watsons down town tomorrow miss fern farr will write MAY WARDLE at the fair july 9 |
