Standing be- ! side this giant of modern times is the; i engine made and run in 1R2G or 1831 1 have forgotten which any way it is a mere dw&rf in comparison to our models now, as the age increases so in in ingenuity. It seems peculiar that America's ouius should so wide 1e differ from tbat of other Nations. This i especially noticeable in the different construction of railways, of G-'irminy and America. Garmany has flGlv built railways, but they seem pfrinlfar alongside ours. ThJ Ger man coaches are built on the order of our close carriages and will hold from four to eight passengers each. Tho Germans cl aim that it is a nui sance to ride in an American oar as a baby's crying would distu-b all the passengers while in their cars, only four or five would be disturbed. En tering another building, I see a mod el of the bot? used on the sea of Galilee in the time of Christ. This and other exhibits claiming to be representations of customs in time oft'i Lord, were on exhibitation. California has a nice exhibit, besides its wondrous gold productions, the fruits and various other articles were immense to behold. Jas. Marshall was the discoverer of gold in this Stat, and to his honor they have erected statue of hiw. plated with gold. I cannot say how much even the gold and silver exMdit of Cali fornia amounts to. but it does seem hard that within tho bounds of our own beloved U. S. tliere should be plenty of gold and silver, and the cry of hard times thould be heard P. T, , ",' ws. Ctwry rinc wuo visits the fair should visit the art building, here is found the most magnificent sculpturing and' painting the world knows, ,As every school boy would naturally be, I was forcibly- struck with the splendor or the picture nam. ed. "The Last of. the Spartans." It was grand and so natural that you ere bya' to 3-01 r country should j war break out again. Pictures cost-' ing iuj.uuu were there in quantites. I Ve next pass through the New York State building, among the large assortment of exhibits, I particularly noticed a very old piano, claimed to baye boan made over a hundred years J ago, New York has an excellent ex hibit but comparatively speaking, but I think Noith Carolina is far ahead. North Carolina has no State buildin", but ita exhibits are placed in agncul. ture. 3-huiie-, Horticultural, mir.ins ; and foieatry bui ding. Vhi exhibits are unexcelled. In the mining buiN liiy we find lots of precious gems .i'nd strnc. soma f if whi.rh arc found in ni other parts of th world. :tve Nor!i Carolina. The first exhiYilt stands among the first, a also oo s our forestry exhibits, and a iriulture. IIr exhibits urn admirab'y amused and reflect ciedit upon tlune from mr 'State. vv!nie untiring elf rts here ao i complUhtMl so much.

There are the larue main i ! buildings, the largest btting the man-. ' ufacturer and Liberal art guildind. the tl -or of which required oyer 3,000. 000 feet of lumber and five car-lards of nails. It. occupies the most con spicuous position in the grounds.- It faces the lake w th la vns and prome nades I etwee . In this buildin w find scores of others the German, Eng lish, Russian, Japanese. Siara and Cingalese (Ceylon) Pavi'lious, also sections representing Franc t, Chili. Portugal, Spain, Jamaica, Turkey, Denmark, Greece, Norway, Ireland, Scotland and many others' too numer ous to mention. One Ivory tusk I notice in Cape Colony exhibit is sev en an.l a half feet long, and valued at $1,500. P;nsing h urriedly along as our time is limited we rush for the electrical building. Here I thiak are located the most novel and brill iant exhibits of the Exposition For the first time in the history of International Expositions a great structure has been set. aside entirely for electricisc exhibits, it covers nearly six acres. France and Ger many have 23,090 square feet each, and makes the largest exhibits of any foreign nations. England is well represented, so is Spain. Cuba, Bra zil and Canada, among the most unique exhibits is the cew kimeto graph which transmits scenes to eye as well as sounds' to car. This is one of Edison's . latest inventions. Here we find the telautograph, a re cent invention which is destined to take the place of telegraphing, it is an electrical device so arranged as to reproduce an exact uopy of what 3011 write, at the other end of the wire you write at one end and electricity reproduce it at the other end. Thi-y L, ,, . , , , 1 claim this can be worked us easily one hundred miles as a few yards. Several have written me to give dis cription of the wonderful Tern's there, which I shall do a!i some fj ture time through this medium, as lack of space prevents it this issue. II.
