Tilings to See and How Best to Enjoy
One's Stay at the Great Exposi
tion at Buffalo?Worth a Trip
Around the Glohe to
Look Upon the Glo
rious Spectacle
Spet l&l Com spoiKlcMri'. '
Buffalo, June 2.Y?I read in a '
funny paper recently the joke:
"Why is Buffalo's Exposition 1
better than that of Paris'.'"
"Beenuse it costs less to go '
there."
That is one reason; hut there 1
are so many more thut you could
not begin to count them. But '
"comparisons are odorous," Mrs. '
Partington said. There is no J
use com|taring the Pan-American
Exposition to anyotln ranyway. j
It. is so absolutely iinioue, so uii
like any other that ever nupperied, '
that comparison is out of the
question. '
It is hard to know how to go I
to work to describe the Pan- '
American. It is equally hard to 1
decide whether t hisor that feat u re
of it deserves the most descrip
tion. There is so much to see 1
and so much to describe that the (
task almost appalls one. Intact '
it is as foolish to attempt to de- '
scribe everything all at once as it '
would be to try to see everything '
till nt niipo }
One ought to calculate to spt nd 1
at least a week "doing" the run- 1
American. That is little enough t
time. There is enough in it to J
keep one occupied all summer, if j
one could take the time to study '
the exhibits and learn thoroughly I
what is here taught. Still, if one t
has only a short time, a great ]
deal can be seen and enjoyed 1
within that period,on account of '
the convenient arrangement of
things and the compact and con- 1
densed character of the whole
Exposition. My advice is, how- ]
ever, don't weary yourself in '
doing the Exposition. Don't!'
inuke too much of a business of 1
it. This is an Exposition to be
enjoyed. You ought to make up 1
your mind to drink in its beau- 1
ties slowly, appreciatingly; not !
- culp them down in a single swal
low.
tlet your first view in the morn
ing when the day is young and
the dew is on the grass. Enter 1
the Elm wood gate, or better still
if you don't mind the walk, at
the Lincoln Parkway gate, leav
ing the car at Forest avenue. In
either case you come into the
Rainbow City through the wood
land and flowers, getting glimpses
of fountains, pretty landscape
and a stretch of water called
North Hay and Gala Water. You
see the marble New York Build
ing hero and the U.S. Life Saving
Station and you pass before
French's statue of Washington,
which has very appropriately
been placed at the entrance to 1
the approach leadingto the main
court. Then you passon through (1
that truly grand Triumphal 1
Causeway, and come into the
"heart of the Exposition.
The Spanish Renaissance build- 1
ings have been described time and !
time again and I will not here'
dwell upon their architectural]1
characteristics or the details of
the ornamentation and colorings;
suffice it to say that the picture
as a whole grows upon you. Per
haps you find it altogether differ
ent from what you had expected,
and maybe there are some who
are at first disappointed, but the
beauty and completeness of it all
-*mi iresses you more and more.
The erehiteotnre the senlntlire
the fountain*, the flowers, the
color and the general effect of
festivity and enjoyment stimu
late the imagination and carry
one away from himself and all
sordid cares until the is a child
again and this is fairyland.
However critical the visitor
may be when he begins his inspec
tion, he can not fail to be com
pletely captured after he has re
veled in all this beauty for a day;
and in the dusk of the evening
the Rainbow City is transformed
into a City* of Light. The trans
formation is not sudden. It
comes not in a single blinding
flash, but gradually, almost im
perceptibly, like the dawn, the
lights steal from nothingness
into their full glory and the illumi
nation is before you in all its
grandeur. Then the thousands
sitting in the Esplanade and
along the border of the grand
basin in the Court of Fountains
give vent to their enthusiastic
approval of the triumphs of the
electrician* in a burst of applause
which sweeps from the I'ropylaea
to the Triumphal Causeway and
re-echoes among the hills th.it
slope away on either side of Cain
Water.
We are now moving about in
the land of stars, twinkling, scin
tilating stars. They say then*
are 40,000 of them on the Klee
trie Tower. 1 didn't count them
They looked like 40,000,000.
Speaking of stars, there is the
'Trip to the Mooii." It isubout:
the first trip to take when You
reach the .Midway, if you want to
become acquainted with moon
folk and all their strange ways.
Across the street is the big show
called the "Streets of Mexico.'

When it is ended, it is time for '
the illuminations to begin, which |
I have already described, al- (
though most inadequately. This
illumination is the greatest tri- 1
iimph of the greatest Exposition
of tne age.
Summed up in a sentence, I will
simply add that it is worthatrip
around the glolie to witness this
jlorious spectacle.
The Utility ot Long: Life.
There is 110 doubt that an under
standing of the laws of health, a
study of the nature and functions
of food and the proper use there
of, and improvements in sanitary
science, will lengthen the average
life of man, says Dr. 11. W. Wiley
in Everybody's Magazine. That
every man in the future will be a
centenarian is,so far as weknow,
only an idle wish, but that the
microbiote will be more common
in the years to come there is 110
doubt.
Long life without heal.li and
strength, from the point of view
1 f mere utility, is not to be de
sired. l'lace must be made for
che young, and nature's method
of taking off the old and the de- '
crepit is to be unreservedly com
mended from the mere economic
point of view. Hutif theoldman
?an preserve to a reasonable de
cree the vigor and energy of his
manhood, he is of more use to
society than the young man, and
the young man must wait his
turn. Aside from all sentiment,
the true principles of economy
lead us to believe that man
should live just as long as he can
lie a worker and an active con
tributor to human progress.

and a complete cure speedily fol

No End to Invention.
Each new invention sails at
once for more. The gas range,
which has only just forced recog
nition for itself as a household
necessity, cries out for the inven
tion of proper utensils to use
upon it.
Asphalt streets have set new
tasks for the inventor. He must
make new types of shoes to give
easy and seen re footing for horses,
and new street-cleaning appar
atus. With rougher pavements
we were satisfied to get rid of the
coarser dirt from the uneven sur
face, but now we are demanding
apparatus that will rid our streets
of dust as well.?Everybody's
Magazine.

some bearing on this subject. In
1800 five English locomotives
were ordered for the Jamaica
Government Railway. One of

route early this spring and after
considerable balking came to a

esting part of this is that Ameri
can locomotives had frequently
climbed the grade without any
trouble whatever. Again, the
harbor authorities of Calcutta
advertised for bids on locomo
tives. The lowest English bid
was $7,345) for each locomotive,
to be delivered within nine
months; the lowest American bid
was $.">,51)8, delivery within six
months. Of course we received
the contiact. An offset to the
greater quantity of fuel requir. d
for the American machine is its
greater hauling power.
A Good Cough Medicine.
It speaks well forChamberlain's

to annex any foreign territory or
to carry the flag beyond the Con

instructed to find the right men
The new chairs are philosophy

Dyspeptics cannot tie long li veil
