 MAY 1 TO NOVEMBER 1 
 
 ELECTRIC TOWER. 
 
 You've had the 
 Exposition talc in varied form 
 — its plans and purposes, it-, 
 mighty scope — so what is herr 
 set down must deal but casual 
 ly with the noble enterprise 
 Then follow me with willing 
 steps and let your eyes scan 
 leisurely the landscape as we 
 go ; your ears be friendly to 
 these holiday narrations. 
 
 To celebrate the birth ot 
 one more century, the enter 
 prising folk of Buffalo have 
 planned this six-months' festi- 
 val and bade the world partici- 
 pate. They purpose here to 
 offer such a scene as eyes ne'er 
 saw before, whose niajesty and 
 beauty shall eclipse all fortuer 
 undertakings. 
 
 Attend, ye, therefore, this 
 review of what the Western 
 World has done, is doing, or 
 may do. The force electrical 
 receives the special homage' 
 which, by reason of its won- 
 derful accomplishments in the 
 world of matter, it has earned. 
 A, stately tower of soaring 
 height, of beauty unsurpassed, 
 will bear aloft a golden figure 
 of the Goddess Light.

 ELECTR1CIT-. 
 
 RI.ECTRICAL PROGRESS EXEMPLIFIED. 
 
 From every side will glow by clay a radiance of color and at 
 night the scene will change to one of incandescent brilliancy. The 
 mighty power which thimders at Niagara, transformed to magic cur- 
 rents of supreme intensity, will here illuminate the grandest works 
 of man. By day this giant force will turn the countless wheels 
 of industry, miparting life and activity to every department. 
 
 Almost every electrical machine or appliance has undergone 
 change and improvement during the last few years. The efficiency 
 of dynamos and motors has be^n increased, new uses have been 
 found for the electric force and many problems have been solved 
 which only a few years ago vexed the brightest minds. 
 
 Electricity and electrical a]>pliances are to receive such attendon 
 as to make this one feature of fhe Tan-American Exposition of the 
 greatest importance in the history of electrical development. In 
 addition to the spectacular use^*of electricity in illuminating build- 
 ings, towers, courts and fountains, there will be veiy important 
 demonstrations of the application of the force to many new purposes. 
 Among them will be wireless telegraphy, the X-rays, the electro- 
 mobile, telegraphy to and from.movmg trams by induction, the im- 
 provements in the electric light and telephone. The wonderful 
 labor-saving qualities of electricity have revolutionized the produc- 
 tion of many useful articles of merchandise within the past decade, 
 including aluminum, carborundum, calcium carbide, graphite, 
 phosphorus and numerous chernicals. This phase of employment 
 of the electric fluid will form a most plea.sant study for those who 
 are interested in the newest of the sciences, and .such a study as 
 will only be possible at the Exposition. The development of 
 electric power will be illustrated in a comprehensive manner, with 
 models of the great plants, in the magnificent Electricity Building, 
 and those who desire to see the'plants- themselves will have only to 
 go a distance of twenty miles from the grounds- — a ride of about 
 thirty minutes — in order to do so. 
 
 This is the electric age, and it is producing wonders upon 
 wonders. Every day, almost, i^ gives the world something new to 
 marvel upon and then put to good use. The electrical exhibit at the 
 Pan American Exposition will be -up-to-date.

 G o V E R N M E ^r r and ordnance 
 
 The substantial encourajrenient and support given by Uncle 
 Sam, by the appropriation of ■§500,000 for a Government e.vliibit at 
 the Exposition, are a suFficient guaranty of its merit. To View the 
 magnificent buildings and their multitude of treasures alone will be 
 well worth going a long distance. 
 
 The display to be made by the Department of Agriculture will 
 be of great value and interest to those concerned in the agricultural, 
 horticultural and live stock industries, comprehending, as it will, all 
 their varied features. 
 
 Tlie workings of the dillerent Bureaus of tlie Department of 
 State will be illustrated. 
 
 Th,e coining of money \\ill be a feature of the exhibit by the 
 '{ reasury Department. Here a coin press will be in ope^raLion, 
 coining money at the rate of 90,000 coins per hour, each coin being 
 struck with a force ec|ual to the weight of one hundred tons. 
 
 Collectors will be especially interested in the Government's 
 very ctmiplete collection of coins of all nations, a complel'e set of 
 medals struck by the mint at Philadelphia, and a complete *series of 
 currency issued by the (jovernment. Included in this exhibit will 
 be a model of a lighthouse, fully equipped and in operation, a 
 model of a quarantine station, models of marine hospital operating 
 looms, and a model of a vessel constructed for deep-sea sounding. 
 I'pon the shore of the Park Lake will be a life-saving station, com- 
 pletely equipped with up-to-date apparatus, where the means em- 
 ployed in the saving of life on our coa^t^ will be daily illustrated.

 The exhibits of the War and Navy Departments 
 large-t aind most complete ever made at any Exposition 
 
 The Post-Oftice Department will occupy a larger space than 
 was ever before devoted to it at an Exposition. The melho<is of 
 mail transportation will be fullv illustrated and a i.)ost-office equip- 
 ped with all the latest devices used in the larger post offices m the 
 United States will he a feature of the exhibit. The other Govern- 
 ment depariments will contribute large exhibits. 
 
 mi 
 
GOVERNMENT AND ORDNANCE EXHIBIT. 
 
 The exhibit of the National Museum, under the auspices of the 
 Smithsonian Institution, will be of absorbing interest. It will dis- 
 play the resources of North America, South and Central America, 
 the West Indies, and the new possessions of the United States. 
 
 The principal exhibits will be divided into three great cla.sses : 
 (i) Anthropology, (2) Zoology, and (3) Geology. The work of 
 the Smithsonian Institution itself will also be illustrated. One of 
 the important exhibits will be a celostal, an instrument that reflects 
 the light of a star or other heavenly body in a fixed horizontal 
 direction. 
 
 The F'orestry and Fisheries Exhibits will be complete ones. 
 
 Extraordinary interest will attach to the Ordnance Exhibit of 
 the United States Government, showing the modern weapons of 
 warfare which were used in the recent wars. It will include the 
 best of former exhibits and will in addition have novelties never 
 belore shown. The heavy ordnance will be mounted outside the 
 Government Building, This branch of the exhibit will include the 
 12-inch gun with disappearing carriage so arranged that neither the 
 man nor the gun is exposed except during the moment of firing, the 
 recoil throwing it into its original po.sition. Then, too, there will 
 be shown the 16-inch sea-coast half-mast rifle now in process ol 
 mannfaclure at the Watervliet Arsenal, the most powerful piece of 
 ordnance ever constructed in the United States, having a maximum 
 range of 20!-^ miles. It will be the greatest display of heavy ord- 
 nance ever made. Another exhibit of ordnance will be made by 
 manufacturers, but in a different part of the grounds. Here a con- 
 siderable number of important inventions not yet accepted by any 
 government, but which may figure conspicuously in the possible 
 defences of the future, will be shown. 
 
 STATE AND FOREIGN EXHIBITS. 
 
 In the Court of State and Foreign Buildings and other parts 
 of the Exposition grounds there will be buildings and exhibits ot 
 the different states and countries of the Western Continent. 
 
 The Argentine Republic has applied for 1500 square ya-'"'!^ ol 
 space. Bolivia will have- 2400 square feet of space. Chili has appro- 
 
priateda bum equal to §185,000 in L'nitcd States inoney and will have 
 a building. Costa Rica will havf inoo Mjuare feet of space. A 
 building for the Honduras Government i^ being erected. Ecuador 
 will have a building. (Guatemala will have iioo square feet of 
 space. Haiti will be represented by a special exhibit made by the 
 Department of Agriculture. Mexico will have i6,oco square feet 
 of space. Nicaragua will have 1400 square feet of space. ^Salva- 
 dor has accepted the invitation to take part. Peru's exhibit will 
 take up 2500 square feet of space. The Colombian Government 
 will be represented. Canada's resource^ will be exhibited. The 
 West Indian Colonies, including Jamaica, have generally accepted 
 invitations. Santo Domingo will have a building. There will be 
 extensive..exhibits from Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philip- 
 pine Islands. 
 
 The Machinery and Transportation features promise to be of 
 superior interest. The inventive Yankee has for a hundred, years 
 been particularly active in producing machiner)'. Every year adds 
 new laurels to his well-clecorated brow and he can but marvel at his 
 own progress. In recent years he has been particularly active in 
 producing automatic machineiy. 
 
 SCOPE OE MACHINERY EXtllBlTS. 
 
 The Machinery Exhibits will include the mobt modern agricultural 
 machinery and appliances. The evolution of devices for developing 
 power will be illustrated with a completeness never before attempted. 
 
 Factory machinery is constantly undergoing improvement and 
 brand new inventions are everv little \\'hile given to the world. 
 Some are so wonderful in their mechanism as to seem almost human. 
 Tills leature of tlie machinery exhibit will be abounding in iliterest 
 for all visitors. 
 
 The Transportation Exhibit will be no less interesting.; The 
 world was never before on wheels to the extent that it is to-day. 
 The automobile has been developed since the Columbian Exposition 
 at Chicago. \Vhat marvels may be exhibited and in practical daily 
 use at the Pan-American Exposition can only be dimly conjectured. 
 The railway, vessel and vehicle exhibits at Buffalo this year will 
 outrival in interest anything that has been possible in the past.

 FORESTRY 
 
 'ID MINES — HORTICULTUHE— GRAPHIC ARTS. 
 
 A GREAT HORTICUt^TURAL EXHIBIT, 
 
 Horticulture, viticLilture and floriculture are linked together 
 in one great class. In the midst of a country of orcliLirds and vine- 
 yards, the Pan-American Exposition will have abundant material 
 close at hand and of the finest quality from which to make an ex- 
 hibit worthy of the great event. Canada and many other countries 
 will send worthy exhibits. The extensive floral decorations of the 
 grounds constitute a rich display of floriculture, and several acres, 
 including hundreds ot beds, are*devoted to the exhibits made by 
 leading florists of the country. Klowers in profusion will welcome 
 the earliest visitors and breathe out their fragrance and display their 
 incomparable beauty the season through. Thousands of trees and 
 shrubs flourish thoroughout the grounds. 
 
 In the handsome and commodious Ilorticulture Building, all 
 the popular fruits of the difierenit countries represented in the Pan- 
 American Exposition will be displayed. With a .suitable refrigerat- 
 ing room upon the grounds, it will be [.njssiblc for the management 
 to make a daily fresh display oi fruit. 
 
 Articles and appliances used in horticulture will also be shown 
 in this division. 
 
 The exhibits of Nursery Stock, including orchard and orna- 
 mental trees, shrubs and evergreens, will be unquestionably among 
 the finest, if not the finest ever made. 
 
 GRAPHIC ARTS AND MINES BUILDINGS 
 
 In the Graphic ^Vrt^ iJuilding will Ije made a most timely dis- 
 play, illustrating the remarkable, progress of printing and its allied 
 arts. 
 
 In the Mines Building will be made an extensive exhibit of 
 mines and metallurgy. Minerals will be fully represented, com- 
 prising every production, both ufieful and ornamental, mined from 
 the earth. All parts of the UiiitedSlates and every country of South 
 and Central America, Canada. Mexico and the islands of the sea 
 will contribute specimens for the exhibit. All kinds of machinery 
 used in manipulating ures will be exhibited. The great advantages 
 that the Americas have ovt^r ihe rest of the world in the wealth of 
 their minerals, in connection with climatic condition, accessibility, 
 etc., will be clearly illustrated.

 MANUFACTURES AND LIBERAL ARTS. 
 
 Broad, in its scope and slroiig in its educational featureb is tliL' 
 exhibit to be made in the Maiiuiactures and Liberal Arts Building. 
 The United States produce one-lhlrd of all the manulactures, of the 
 world, though poi^sessing onh' one -twentieth ot the population. 
 The building in which these exhibits will be shown may therefore 
 be expected to contain tiie greatest variety ol uianulactureci pro- 
 ducts ever brought together, with the possible exception of the 
 World's* Fair exhibits of this class. Every country recognizes 
 America as an active competitor in almost every line and in almost 
 every market of the globe. The building, which will coutain a 
 great variety of ail-American manufactures, will therefore be a 
 center of interest of surpassing importance to every person wlio 
 desires to know what his fellow citizens are accomplishing in their 
 numberless vocations. 
 
 The Department of Liberal Arts will include education, engi- 
 neering, public works, constructive architecture, sanitation and 
 hygiene, music and drama, sociology, literature, and similar Subjects. 
 
 Never was the world so wide awake, so alert, so quick*to com- 
 prehend the possibilities in any held of work as now. Educational 
 metiiods — how best to impress the mind, how to fix permanently in 
 the growing child or older student the thought- treasures that are 
 best to know- these are new problems each day. AVhat to Leach 
 and how to teach it, are questions that will be answered as' well as 
 may be in the educational exhibits. Modern school apparatus and 
 conveniences will all have a place. 
 
 Mechanical and civil engineering, and puVtlic -works, in which 
 the American refuses to take second pUue, will be presented in 
 such a clear and interesting why, bv niean-- ot all sorts ot co^^th" and 
 ingenious exhibits, that the l;i\" mind will lind it scarcel}- le>> attrac- 
 tive than the expert. 
 
 Foods and their accessories, a division hnving a plac^ in the 
 Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, will show the possibilities 
 for food production in Pan-America. The requirements of ^oil and 
 climate lor a great vai"iety of foods and accessories now Drought 
 Irom the Orient will be shown to be possessed b\ the Lountiies ol 
 the ^Vestern World.

 MUSIC AT THE* PAN-AMERICAN, 
 
 Music will have special attention. Musical instruments have 
 become quite as much the product of American genius as that of 
 any other country in the world.:: In recent times marked progress 
 has been made — all to be shown in a most interesting wav to the 
 millions who may tind themselves in Buffalo next year. Tlie 
 exhibits of a musical character will be in the Manufactures Division, 
 
 The Temple of Music will be the place for the holding of con- 
 certs, etc. It will be one of the most artistic buildings on the 
 grounds, containing one of the largest and finest church organs in 
 the world. Many of the most famous bands of both the New and 
 Old Worlds will give concerts in the Temple of Music, and from 
 the various band stands in the Plaza^ Esplanade and other parts of 
 the grounds. Among them will ;be Sousa's famous band, and the 
 Mexican Government Mounted Band. 
 
 In the Music Temple there will be two organ recitals each day 
 by prominent exponents of this branch of the musical art, and con- 
 certs by the leading instrumental organizations of the United States 
 and Europe every day during the progress of the Exposition. 
 
 The great organ will be equipped with all the latest improve- 
 ments known to expert organ builders. It will have four manuals, 
 about 50 speaking stops, and will be voiced on three different wind 
 pressures. The action will be the most complete style of tubular 
 pneumatic. Of the four manuak, the great and swell organ will 
 each have 14 stops. The choir oVgan will have 11, the solo organ 
 4, and the pedal organ 10 stops. The couplers, pedal movements 
 and adjustable combinations will be of the most modern type. The 
 organ is the work of Emmons Ho!tvard of WestBeld, Mass. 
 
 The princijjal national holidays will be observed with musical 
 festivals, in which school childre^n will participate. There will be 
 a ?rand jubilee chorus of thousands of young voices in the spacious 
 Stvhuni 
 
 I he Saengerfest ol the North American Snengerbund will be

 THE FINE ARTS EXHIBIT 
 i he Fine ArLs a.? they have been culLi%"ated in (he \ ari<ju> 
 countrie.N of Fan-America will be presented in an exhibit pre-emi- 
 nently American in spirit and character. 
 
 There will be no attempt to cover everything of an art char- 
 acter in the entire universe, but as the Exposition as a whole is to 
 l)e devoted to the achievements of civilization in the New World, it 
 will be the purpose of the Fine Arts Exhibit to show the p/ogress 
 made in Pan-America in the culture of painting and sculptufe, and 
 the allied arts. The Pan-American Exposition ought to mark a 
 new era in the New World, and doubtless will, since it will give 
 workers in this important field of human activity a stimulus such 
 as perhaps could be obtained in no other way, and will direct the 
 nttention of the great public of all the Americas in the most emphatic 
 manner to the importance of giving substantial patronage to the 
 painters and sculptors native to our own soil, if it is desired that 
 art should flourish in the Western Hemisphere. In making \ip the 
 exhibit in fine arts for the Art (.iallery the plan to be followed is 
 to secure the most representative and excellent works that have 
 appeared within the last 25 years, particularly within the last de- 
 cade. As the opening of the Fan-American will ^come at a time 
 when all of the important annual exhibitions of art will have been 
 held, it will be possible to secure some of the best works produced 
 within the twelve or tnfteen months preceding it. The Fine Arts 
 Exhibit will be divided under the following groups: Group i. — 
 Paintings in oil, water color, pastel and other recognized mediums, 
 miniatures, cartoons, (.iroup 2. — Sculpture, including medaLs and 
 cameos. Group 3.^ — Drawings, etchings, engravmgs, black and 
 white or monotint paintings in oil or water color. Group 4. — 
 Architecture. All works in all cla.sses must be original productions. 
 No copies of w^orks of art, whether executed in the same medium 
 as the originals or in different mediums, will be accepted.. The 
 exhibition will be thoroughly representative of the best attainments 
 of the artists and sculptors of the Western Hemisphere. The 
 statuary in the grounds and the sculptural ornamentation of the 
 buildings will command the attention and study of lovers of art.

 rHE STADIUM. 
 
 SPORTS IN THE STADIUM 
 
 The marked popularity of athletic sports has been handsomely 
 recognized. A Stadium, beautiful in design, with a quarter-mile 
 track and ground area ample for the requirements of all the popular 
 events proposed, is provided. It has a seating capacity of 12,000, 
 The nature of the sports planned is varied. Amateur events of all 
 kinds wdl be particularly encouraged as representing the most 
 desirable of athletic competitions. There will be professional 
 events as well. College sports will be made a feature and inter- 
 collegiate events are being planned. There will be amateur and 
 professional baseball, football, lawn tennis, Marathon race, cross- 
 country runs, lacrosse, cycling, basket ball, roque, shooting, Cale- 
 donian games, gymnastics, military maneuvers, turning, cricket, 
 bowling, and other sports. Tennis is widely popular and it is pro- 
 posed to arrange a tournament in which the leading players of 
 America and foreign representatives may participate. The Mara- 
 thon race will have its start and finish in the Stadium. At the 
 Olympian Games four years agoj' and again in 1900, the Marathon 
 race was the most attractive feature. Cross-country runs will have 
 their finish in the Stadium. A national event of this character is 
 being planned, for both juniors and seniors, together with an inter- 
 collegiate championship. It is proposed to set aside two days for 
 world's chainpionslrips, including* scratch and handicap events, and 
 invite entries from all over the world. Lacrosse is extremely 
 popular in Canada, and is winning favor in the United States. It 
 calls for extraordinary fleetness of foot, keenness of sight, skill and 
 endurance. This game will be played between the best of the 
 teams of the United States and Canada at the Exposition. A series 
 of games of Gaelic football, which is now being played by many 
 teams in the United States, will be played, one to select the Cana- 
 dian champion and the other the American champion, when the 
 final games will be played. Arrangements are being made for a 
 grand carnival of cycle racing in^ which the fastest amateurs and 
 professionals of the world will compete. Caledonian games will be 
 an important feature, and as all the young sons of Scotland are 
 adepts in athletics there will be great interest manifested by them 
 m the Scottish c\cnts. Turning is ever popular with the Germans 
 and the pre gram \\\\l include interesting exercises by representative 
 turners 1 he national game of baseball will receive especial attention. 
 
AGRIC'.'LTUBE 8U1LDINC 
 
 AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT 
 
 The prominent display in the Division of Agriculture will be 
 the magnet that will attract progressive farmer:?. Here they can 
 learn what their brother farmers are doing to lighten labor and im- 
 prove the products of the helds. The exhibit will embrace all 
 phases of agricultural work, showing the advantages of different 
 processes and methods ol work, and the products ol ihe garden and 
 field in their great variety under all sorts of conditions. Under 
 their proper classifications will be shown methods of fertilization ; 
 farm management and processes ; experiments with various crops in 
 different soils, climates, etc.; reports from different States and Prov- 
 inces showing the aggregate of crops and products of all kinds ; ex- 
 hibits of all products of the farm and garden. 
 
 Preparations for the live stock exhibit show are well advanced 
 and accommodations are being made for 6000 head of stock. A 
 grand horse show is to be one of the prominent features. 
 
 There will be an extensive display of dairy products, and 
 modern machinery and apparatus used in and about the dairy. In 
 connection with the dairy exhibit will be an extensive mechanical 
 refrigerating plant which will supply certain uniform temperatures 
 in the different divisions of a glass refrigerator case S lect high 
 and 20 feet wide running through the center of the building, m 
 which displays will be made. A model daiiy will be conducted on 
 the grounds. 
 
 Deserved attention will be given to bee keeping. Large dis- 
 plays of living colonies will be made in a building erected for the 
 purpose The hives will be arranged with glass sides ahd there 
 will be openings to the outer air so the bees may pass in and out. 
 
 Ethnology — the study of the .social and intellectual progress of 
 mankind — will constitute a department of engrossing intere>t to re- 
 llective minds. This division will include a vast museum of archae- 
 ological treasures by which the development of the races, particularly 
 in America, may be traced. The Americas have proven to be rich 
 fields which the students have not neglected. Rude implements 
 and vessels made by the mound builders, the Aztecs and the Incas 
 centuries ago, and brought to light only In recent years, will 
 serve to introduce the hr^L AnicncLnis to those of the present day. 
 
 
 
THE "U^ONDET^FUL midway. 
 
 The high-class novelties of the Wonderful Midway will afford 
 endless diversion to visitors and be a source of education as well, 
 just as seeing foreign lands and- their peoples is educating to the 
 traveler. Here may be seen the cream of the attractions which 
 have been at former Expositions, together with the best of the new 
 things brought out since for the entertainment of the public. It is 
 the culmination of colossal amusement enterprise. 
 
 What the Ferris Wheel was to the Chicago Exposition, the 
 "Thompson Aerio-Cycle " will be to the Pan-American Exposi- 
 tion. It is the altitudinous wonder of the ^Midway. At each end 
 of a structural iron beam, which in operation is remindful of the 
 '* teeter" of boyhood, is a revolving wheel in which four cars are 
 hung, after the manner of the f^'erris Wheel. When one wheel is 
 down taking on and discharging! passengers, the other is revolving 
 275 feet in the air. The Acrio-Gycle will be illuminated with 2000 
 incandescent electric lights and Be operated by power from Niagara 
 Falls. 
 
 To visit "The Beautiful Orient" will seem like going to the 
 *')]d World, for within the entrance everything is characteristic of 
 the East. The streets and buildings are faithful reproductions of 
 streets and edihces typical of the (jrient. They "will be inhabited 
 by from 250 to 300 Orientals. There will also be a Bedouin Arab 
 encampment and nomads Irom the Desert of Sahara. 
 
 In the " Streets of Mexico ':' life will be seen exactly as it is in 
 that interesting country. This is one of the largest concessions on 
 the IMidway, covering 95,000 square feet of ground. The Mexicans 
 in charge of this concession will wear their native costume, and all 
 kinds of wares peculiar to the country will be sold in the faithfully- 
 reproduced Mexican stores. There will be an arm)' headquarters 
 for the convenience of the company of lOO mounted men or " rur- 
 ales" who will attend the Exposition by order of President Diaz of 
 Mexico. 
 
 To those who are denied a trip to ^'enlce ni Europe, a splendid 
 opportunity will be given to see its reproduction in " Venice in 
 America" on the Midway. To'those who have seen the city itself, 
 this will be a reminder of brtgiat, happy days of peace and rest. 
 There will be the palaces, shops, bridges, canals, gondolas and 
 gondoliers, and even the pigeons, just as they are under the brilliant 
 skies of sunny Italy. The gondolas and gondoliers will be at the 
 
service of the visitor^:, and as they ride throupli the palace-lined 
 waterways ihey will be entertained with Mjng.s and the music of giiitar 
 and mandolin. The aquatic pageant will be the most magnificent 
 of such a character ever seen in this country. 
 
 . *' A Trip to the Moon " is one of the newest and uKJst original 
 features of the whole great Pan- American Midway. The journey 
 is to be made by air-ships and a great amount of curiosityo- exists 
 to learn how it is to be accomplished. In the palace and domain 
 of the Man in the Moon the visitor will hnd numberless things to 
 cause wonder and astonishment. 
 
 Roltaire's "House Upside Down'' will be an impro^-ement 
 upon the " Topsy-Turvy House'' at the I'aris Exposition. 
 '' Darkness and Dawn" is a realistic representation of the Experi- 
 ence of a departed spirit, whose conduct on earth has nuf been 
 exemplary. The "Hawaiian Volcano and Theater" will portray 
 Avith graphic realism the marvelous appearance of a volcanolin full 
 f-ruption. It will be a really great picture of the most wonderful 
 volcano in the world, that of Kilauta. The Hawaiian Village 
 will also be especially interesting. In "The i »ld Plantationj" will 
 }je depicted life among the negroes in the South before the, war. 
 The "Filipino Village" will be a particularly up-to-date feature, 
 illLih.tratin*g as it does real life in one of Uncle SanVs new posseissions.
