Mr.Orbeon fjette. Chicago, 111., May 22, 1893. EDITOB ALLIAKCE-lNDtPEKDENT: One cannot attend the World's Fair and fall to be impressed with the won derful inventive power of 'human Intel lects, and the limitless possibilities of production which individual and organ ized effort can accomplish. The fair furnishes a hitherto unequaled oppor . tunity to gather knowledge of what man has done In almost every depart ment of human activity; and seeing what wonders have been wrought single handed and by united labor, fills one with hope that the great truth of equal and iindivlsible interest, as well as rights may yet be universally recogniz ' ed; that the waste of strife may cease, that the forces of nature may all be 'i searched out, subdued by knowledge of their laws aid harnessed to the whiz-zinc-wheel and flyiD? car, -not as now to work for the few only who have capl tal to purchase the costly machinery necessary, but to shorten and lighten the tasks of the toilers, giving them time and abundant means to cultivate a love of the beautiful, and to increase in a knowledge' of the good and true. The workers today are t often, generally we might say, parts of machines, with no sufficient time for study, no strength left to think and develop the latent possibilities of their Divinely varied individualities. But it Is left to them to work out their own salvation from the tyranny of selfishness. They can only rise from being machines, by heroic, persistent effort to know what justice requires and economy teaches, They will, so studying truth, discover at last that united politicial and Indus trial action must furnish a solution of the great social problem. The Fair is not yet ready, really, many exhibits being yet unpacked, and carpenters and painters will be kept at work during the entire month of June before deeorations are finished and exhibits all in place. It. was an enor mous undertaking. One gets a better 01 hi ETTER idea of twenty millions of money by v-; seeing what has been done with it in W t building the White City. Any one who w will spend a month mentally measuring x- the sum of labor which has been ex pended in rearing its vast structures and smaller buildings, In building bridges, making streets and preparing whatvcs and grounds, etc, etc, and who will then assort that any one man in a lifetime can by his own tabor of hand and brain create as much wealth as is here Invested, must bo either fool or a knave, The largest building on the ground is devoted to manufactures and the liberal aru. It dimension in feet are given as m x 1W7, so it covers over thirty and one-halt acres. It Is the Urgent building of its kind ever constructed. The floor alone contains over 3.OU0.0OO feet of lumber and ll v carload of sail. Que thousand cottages, 25 a 60 feet, could Hud room within iu wall and S,0Ourpdple could live wtthouterowdlng ia these cottage. It roof of iron and gla U supported bv Imaiea Iroa ait' he, the ridge of the roof being M feet trout the round.

J The anion of Europe are partleuUrly well re pr seated In thl oduoaUoeal JO i :i display. In the north gallery the Century Publishing Co. exhibits manu scripts oi noted authors wnwn it Das published and much that is interesting and worth knowing concerning its Illustrations Harpers also have a dis play of tbeir publications. D. Lothrop and Co. and many others as well. The main floor displays sucn a count less variety of manufactured products and works of art that it is not possible by an enumeration to convey any idea of what is there. Months could be spent in this one building examlniog and ask ing questions. One of the most unique display of unrivalled besuty, found near the north main entrance is the samples of the petrified Arizonaiorest. The trunks oi these ancient trees sawea with diamond saws and polished, pre sent a glistening ma' y-tlnted variegat ed surface corresponding to the pre cious stone chalcedony in appearance. The trunks cut across are Irons six inches to two or three feet In diameter, the larger cuts being used for tops of most costly tables. The Austrian, uerman ana uonemian displays of decorated pottery and glaes round near tne main aisie oi me euua ing are very fine and attract many visi tors. I tal y has in the south end a large display of bronzes not yet arranged luuy. spain nas urge space, out ner goods are yet unpacked. Kubela aBd Denmark are six weeks behind with their exhibits, owinc to an ice blockade in the Baltic sea, and injury to the vessel containing their goods; out tney are straining every nerve to get ready. The fisherbs building contains in one wing a very extensive aquarium where many varieties oi flsn including eneii- fish, lobsters, etc. may be seen disport ing. In the mala part stuffed, dried and canned fish, fishing tackle, boat. nets etc. are displayed by the dmerent countries. Norway especially having very extensive and attractive eanibit The enormous skeleton of a whale is suspended in one Dart of the building, a white whale stuffed and several vane ties of sharks are also to be seen. The agricultural building, though in complete, presents a bewildering scene of beauty and attractive wealth. The Nebraska, exhibit, I am particular to say. Is one to be proud of, the designer, J. C. Bonnell, formerly ot Lincoln, ana the decorators. L. m. bcothorn and vv. F. Coole of Lincoln, and Herbert Lewis of Omaba, having performed a work that all Nebraskans will be proud of. I cannot go into particulars to describe it. The eastern states make rather a poor showing when it comes to agriculture. But they get more than even by farming the western farmers, that is, the money loaning class dp. The countries of South America and of Europe have exhibits of their princi pal products, and many strange and interesting growths and objects which could be seen nowhere else outside of the laad to which they belong. Some portions of the electricity build ing seems like fairy land. A pillar about twenty feet high is closely cover ed with horse shoe electric lights or burners, spirally arranged, and con nected with the projecting upper edge of the pillar are two or tnree zigzag shaped frames filled with the hone shoes which lead to a revolving tube covered with incandescents. fouddenly at the bottom ol the pillar light is turned on and it moves steadily upward through ground, white and colored glasses, runs off in the zigzag pathways till It lights up the revolving globe, which rapidly turns from white to blue and tben red before going out. Then tne wnole thing is repeated. 1 he eiec trie displays in the evening are said to oe encnantmgiy beautiful, particularly that of the extensive, many-spouting electric fountains, tilled with sculptured mermaids and other works ot art.
