Interesting Events At

?
(By Hi Jcyner, Jr.)
. The site of the Play of the Age is
a beautiful setting on the shores of
Lake Michigan, just a few hundred
yards from the heart of the city.
Chicago's skyline serves as a back
ground. The lagoon divides the fair
grounds and acts as a natural mirror
for the magnificent buildings.
The fair buildings, house Basic and
Applied Sciences, the Social Science,
Educational, Manufacturing, Electri
cal, .. Transportation, Merchandising,
Agricultural, State, Federal, Foreign
and many other exhibits shown in
novel, animated form. The architec
ture of the, major buildings is ex
tremely modern. The structures are
windowless, making possible unusual
interior decorations and illumination
effects and constant control of venti
lation. The buildings are one of the
most unique features of the exposi
tion and I shall always remember the
beauty of them even I can't remem
ber the exhibits in them. Of all the
buildings I considered the Hall of
Science the most beautiful. It is call
ed the nucleus of the Exposition.
From a boat on the lagoon I saw the
gorgeous tower and the magestic
Murt of the Hall of Science.
Tltn Twotml an/1 fPnanannnf. Villi Miner
Altv i.iUT VI ****** v
I thought was the most interesting,
[t ranks next to the Hall of S<pence in
popular interest. The dome, instead
of being supported from below, is
suspended by cables attached to
twelve huge steel towers. The ex
hibition hall is one thousand feet long,
windowless, and two stories in height.
Practically every mode of conveyance
known to man is exhibited in the
large area. On the walls of the dome,
seventy-five feet above "the floor and
completely encircling it, is a series
of screens on which are shown the
story of transportation.
Across the lagoon from the Hall of
Science is the magnificent Federal
Building and Court of States, The
buildings were designed in such a way
as to show the unity of the individual
states and their relation to the Fed
eral Government.
I saw Byrd's South Pole Ship "The
City of New York" , in the lagoon.
Below the decks is a museum of relics
of Byrd's Anartic Explorations. In
there are stuffed pingous, guns, a
display of the foods in the condition
in which they were carried to the
north pole, the clothing of the men,
and many other interesting things.
A. reproduction of "Little America" is
a spectacle that should not be over
looked. One thing that I shall al
ways remember about this ship is the
unusually small kitchen in which one
man cooked for a crew of seventy-two.
Members of "the expedition act as
guides and lecturers showing and ex
plaining the intensely interesting ex
iibit
Another wonder of the fair which I
jaw was the world's tallest thermom
iter. It is twenty-one stories high, or
218 feet The temperature is shown
by noon-light tubes. It is built the
shape of a triangle and on each side
there is a thermometer. This- enables
i person to see the temperature in
my direction. At the base the Havo
line Motor Co., has an exhibit of their
products.
. The most beautiful.' sight that I
aave ever seen was from the tower
>f the sky-ride, 628 feet high. It was
ibout ten o'clock at night after all
the buildings were flooded with lights.
Below me I saw a gorgeous spectacle
>f illumination. It baffles me to try
to describe it to you. Multi-colored
lights were thrown on the buildings
in mellowed tints. There were tinted
?uper?K flaming pylons, shadowed
areas, and flashing searchlights of
great power. At the end of the mid
way arose this fra-Bhaped light of
many colors, which was thrown over
the entire grounds. In addition, the
|l|h(?I di thrift niilinnrrrt this glor
ious spectacle. As fan as I could look
in any. direction I could sOe the city
jghts. The brilliant and colorful il
lumination of the sky-scraping build
ings of the downtown district added
to the beauty of the sight.
The SlQt-ride spans the lagoon. The
two towers are connected by cables at
the 200 foot level, (hi these cables
ire suspended eight rocket cars. From
the cars I could see the layout of the
World's Fair. The thrill that I re
