ONE MILE OF THE ST. LOTUS LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION BUIL DINGS THE UNFINISHED HUILD1NO IN THE FOREGROUND 18 THE TALAOB
.. OF MINES AND MINING. From a Photograph Made from the Dome of (ihe Government Building, Looking Nor.heasL
T LAST the true splendor of the .
universal exposition has been te
vealed by a camera on the dome
of the United States government
-building. It Is the highest pdnt
which the lens has looked on tho
City, with the result that a single
from
Ivory
glance at the picture demonstrates the tre
mendous superiority of the St. Loi:ls spec
tacle over preceding expositions. The view
was obtained from a point UO feet above
the level plain on which the largest por lo i
of the World's fair has been placed. Th9
government building Is situated on a com
manding eminence at the easier n terminal
of a great boulevard cutting un arc ilirou ;h
the main picture. Towers in tho furthest
distance are one mile from vlh-? c me. a.
Beyond the range of vlslcn s'lll A: one of
the greatest sections of the. 'jig 'how, ihe
Palaces of Agriculture, Horticulture find
Forestry, Fish and Game, the fo.o'gn gov
ernment buildings and the Philippine res
ervation. Looking down the twinging boulevard,
the beg'nnlngs of the sunken garder- lie In
the Immediate foreground, beneath the
spectator. To the immediate light arise tha
triumphal arch entrances of the Liberal
Arts palaca, extending for 7M ft-et along
the boulevard. An Immense 'uadrlga and
resplendent groups have not yet teen
placed on these arches. To the lrft
obelisks and golden spheres mark !ho Pal
ace of Mines and Metallurgy, with Its over
hanging Spanish roof, done in r-d Pcm
pellan tiles. At the western limits cf the
first two buildings the West court inter
sects the boulevard on It? course 1 i ward the
eastern end of lha Cascade ginlon. The
white standards In the center of tho boule
vard Indicate the turning pdnt ol the west
lagoon as it leaves the boulevard to rnter
the court.
The lagosn is easily traced In the picture,
as it recedes along the boulevard, follow
ing the twlng of the broad way toward tts
point of Intersection with the Grand court.
The great Palace of Manufactures is dis
tinguished by its facade, broken in tho cen
ter, where It follows the boulevard to the
southwest. ' The still unflr.l tied entrance Is
one of the rr03t heroic at the exposition.
Opposite the Palace of Manufactures the
northeast comer of the Palace of Educa
tion oprears. Its front may be followed to
the print where the bulling breaks In hir
mony wlih the' line of tho av'.nue. The'
Grand court is lden'.lfled by the tall white
shaft arising near, the end of the lino of
the Palace of Education. The pictty Span
ish towers of the Palace of Vat led Indus
tries, with I's miln rortal and stately
colonnade of Corinthian pillars, frcnt
Fquareiy on the same court. After fixing
thl3 building tharply in the eye the ccurso
of the big b ule.ard may still be followed
to the magnificent swinging colonnade on
the routh front of the Palace of Var'ed In
dutr'es. The dem?, fereub ing th:t ol tha
administration building at Chicago, will
instantly fix the location of the swing nj
colonnade, wh'ch Is Immediately lo!ow It.
At this point t'.'o boulevard again uiakrs a
sharp turn at an angle couth of rcn: hwest
and is lost to the eye in the maxe of pal
aces. Now fix the eye on the more distant
ppl-ere of tlie Mines and Metallurgy pal
ace. It rests arp-rently against the broken
roof cffict of the Palnce of Electricity, dl-,
rectly opposite the Varied Industries cn the
main boulevard n 1 cccupylng the strre rel
ative ros'tlon' to Elucatlon on the Grand
Cou: t wl ich a parates these two structure.
On the pyrin Idal towers of E'ectrlclty which
may be seen on the corner of the building
elgantlc fgures of "L'ght," a beautifully
mo "e el fe-nale figure, will be placed to
accentuate the decoratjon of thU fine build.

Tracing tho south front of Electricity
Into the rer?p?cllve, the West Court is
detected where It ercounters the west ter
minal of the Cascide Garden. The for
est of Gerncn towerr, JuBt beyond, fix the
Palace of Machinery In the photograph.
Nine of these pinnacles pierce the sky.
ImmcnFe vestibules with richly chased ceil
ings off.T delightful entrances on the north
and east fronts. The Palaca of Transporta
tion, though it covers fifteen acres. Is dis
covered only by the two white shafts or
pylons that stand eheer above the roof of
Electricity. Transportation lies directly
north and opposite to Machinery on the
great boulevard which, ends at the Grand
Trianon of France several hundred feet
beyond the western limits of . these two
buildings. This terminal of the boulevard
is over one mile from the point of vision.
The Administration building may be lo
cated by finding in the dim distance, be
tween the three furthest towers of Ma
chinery, a tquare tower with turrets from
which float the flags of the United States
and the exposition. 'A faint glimpse of the
French government building Is discernible
at the extreme end of the expoplt'on power
plant, the pkln flat structure beyond the
last tower on the Palace of Machinery.
The shadowy outlines of a building beyond
the pagoda on the hill at tho edge of the
licture is the Pul ;ce 'of Fores'ry, Fish ond
Game.
Keeping to the left edge of the picture,
an Impression of the Cascade garden la
caught In the pagoda on the hill and the
marbled water-leaps of tho cascades, de
scending the hillside to the Grand Basin at
the head of the Grand court. The main la
goon, 1.EC0 feet long and 2C0 feet wide ex
tends from tho basin to the Louisiana Pur
chase monument, the white shaft showing
near the entrance to Varied Industries.
Here the waters separate, being turned to
the east and west, along the great boe'e
Vard between Manufactures and Education
on the cast and Varied Industilcs and Elec
tricity on the west. When these arms
. reach the west and east courts they enter
theee ways and return toward the Cascade
gardens, completely encompassing the Pal
aces of Education and Electricity by con
tinuing along their south fronts to '.he
Grand , Basin.
Beyond the line of vision on the extreme
left edge of the photograph, He the re
mainder of the Cascade garden and the
heavily wooded plateau of the exposition,
where, set In the midst of a forest of
oentury-old, are the mansions of forty-three
states, the United States fisheries building,
the government sea-coast battery of dis
appearing guns and the great bird cage of
living songsters and the gulch of Industrial
midway of the exposition.
The Pike or amueement street lies along
the northern limits, beyond the most dis
tant lines In the pohtograph of Vatled In
dustries or.d Transport ltlon. The Intramural
railway skirts the exhibit palaces, shown

In a court case heard In Phllidelphla th'a
little list, with the gslpsack, overwhelmed
a trained attorney and put to rout a Jury.
Mrs. Mary Sanders, a social l dT in
Flatbush, the aristccra'lc suburb of Brook
lyn, brought suit against tho Ho el Walton
In Philadelphia for the recovery of 113.75,
the value of the contents of a tatchel lost
while In charge of a porter of the Walton,
where Mrs. Sanders was"a guest In July,
1902. The case, heard In Commin Pleag
court No. 1. hinged upon the point whether
this bewildering list of feminine finery
could be packed in. an ordinary satchel.
H. B. GUI, attorney for the Hotel Wal
ton, assailed the cane with a confident air.
Ho said:,
"We acknowledge the loss and our re
sponsibility for the satchel and Us con
tents, but this looks to us like a case of
stuffing the jury box. I defy the counsel
for the plaintiff to get half these things Into
that satchel."
, "I have here," said W. W. Smlthera,
representing the plaintiff, "a satchel of ths
Identical size of tho one In question. Z
will now take from it a collection of ac
cessories to the feminine toilet correspond
ing precisely with this list. If I do that X
presume, the gentleman will be satisfied."
' .Then Mr. Smlthers began to unpack ths
contents of his little satchel. The at
torney's table was soon loaded. The shoes
went under the table, after having been
checked off; and a few small articles were
not taken out of the grip, but were shaken
under the eyes of the Jury, which blushed
and seemed satlsfled.
"I quit," exclaimed Mr. Gill, sinking Into
It .-hair. "But I'll .place a side wager
with you, Mr. Smlthers, that you can't re
pack that gripsack."
"Nothing doing," said Mr. Smlthers.
"Not on your life! I got a woman to do
that for me."
A clothes hamper was brought In and the
court room was cleared . for action. Of
. coui-se, Mrs. Sanders , got the verdict In
full of her claim. Chicago Inter. Ocean.
