PALACE OF FINE ARTS. 
 
 At the West end of the central block the Palace of Fine Arts is one of the 
 delights of the wonder city. It is semi-circular in form and faces a natural 
 lagoon embowered in shrubbery and flowers, and whose waters have been 
 appropriated by wild ducks. Its length from north to south describes an arc 
 eleven hundred feet. In the center of the arc is erected a great dome with 
 steps leading down to the lagoon in a beautiful setting of Monterey Cypress 
 and other evergreen trees. Reflected in the placid waters of the lagoon it is 
 the prettiest vista of the whole Exposition site.

 PALM AVENUE, LOOKING TOWARD TOWER OF JEWELS, 
 Palm Avenue is the main thoroughfare between the great South 
 Gardens and the group of main exhibit palaces. Beautiful California 
 palms line either side of this avenue. On the right is seen the 
 entrance to the Palace of Varied Industries, following which are two 
 Italian Towers rising to a height of 200 feet, one at each side of the 
 entrance to the Court of Flowers.

HALF DOME, COURT OF FOUR SEASONS, BY NIGHT. 
 
 This picture gives a further idea of the beautiful lighting effects, particu¬ 
 larly when the objects are reflected in one of the small lakes or lagoons. The 
 reflections here portrayed are but one of scores of unsurpassed fairy pictures 
 that may be seen any night by strolling around the grounds. Concealed bat¬ 
 teries project powerful yet softened rays of light, revealing in wonderful 
 clearness the facades and walls of the palaces and the natural colors of the 
 shrubbery and flowers.

PALACE OF MANUFACTURES. 
 
 This view shows the Palace of Manufactures from the Avenue 
 of Palms. It is 475 by 552 feet and was erected at a cost of $341,069. 
 Within its walls exhibit space has been allotted to four thousand 
 exhibitors, who display, in elaborate booths, the finest fabrics and 
 manufactured goods of every description. 
 
THE PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND TOWER OF JEWELS BY 
 
 NIGHT. 
 
 In an entirely new manner unity has been achieved in the lighting. It is 
 called “flood lighting,” and comes from concealed sources. It differs from 
 "line lighting” in that it does not dazzle the eyes of the spectator who sees 
 warmly-lighted surfaces, facades and towers rather than sharp lines and 
 clusters of lights. 
 

 
 
 
T OWER OF JEWELS FROM GREAT SOUTH GARDENS. 
 This is a most pleasing view from Festival Hall, across the great 
 South Gardens, embracing the Tower of Jewels and the Palace of 
 Horticulture.

FESTIVAL HALL AND TOWER OF JEWELS BY NIGHT. 
 
 These new lighting effects are accomplished in part by the double use 
 of concealed searchlights. There are two rays of unequal power from differ¬ 
 ent angles and these lighten the “shadows” and emphasize the higher lights 
 of prominent lines. On the bay shore is placed a “scintillator” comprising half 
 a hundred powerful searchlights, manned by as many operators specially 
 trained for the work. At nights when these powerful rays of light are sent 
 forth with ever-changing rainbow colors, over the buildings and into the fleecy 
 clouds or fog banks, it is a spectacle entrancing to young and old alike and of 
 which none grow tired.

NICHE IN THE COURT OF THE UNIVERSE. 
 
 Showing a corner of the Palace of Transportation, and an 
 entrance to the sunken gardens, luxuriant with tropical plants and 
 flowers, and pools reflecting the facades of the surrounding palaces. 
 The Palace of Transportation is 618 feet long and 579 feet wide and 
 cost $481,610 for its erection. The exhibits are contemporaneous 
 rather than historical. The very latest achievements of human 
 ingenuity covering the entire field of transportation are displayed.

 A VIEW IN THE GREAT SOUTH GARDEN. 
 
 „• TI ? e Br ?*n SoU ? G j? rden ' , 3000 feet in length, is a marvel of landscape en¬ 
 gineering skill, and reflects the transformation that has taken place on the 
 grounds under the direction of John McLaren, who was chiefly responsible 
 for this important work. The frostless climate of San Francisco has permitted 
 plants and shrubbery and senn-tropical trees to attain the highest perfection 
 even through the winter months, and it is hard to believe that a scene such as 
 tnis has been created within the space of one short year.

THE TOWER OF JEWELS FROM THE SOUTH. 
 
 The height of this great tower can hardly be realized from the picture. It 
 is 433 feet high and has a vaulted base 110 feet high and 60 feet wide through 
 which entrance is had to the Court of the Universe. Above the great columns 
 on either side of the archway are four figures by John Flanagan—the Soldier, 
 the Priest, the Philosopher and the Adventurer—moving types of the Re¬ 
 naissance. The first terrace is ornamented by repetitions of an Armored 
 Horseman by F. M. L. Tonetti, typifying the Spanish explorer of the sixteenth 
 century. Within the archway are canvases by William De Leftwich, com¬ 
 memorating the completion of the Canal.

TOWER OF JEWELS, AND STATUE “END OF THE TRAIL.” 
 
 This is a beautiful view looking from the Palace of Education and 
 Social Economy toward the Tower of Jewels. The equestrian statue 
 “End of the Trail” marks the entrance to the Court of Palms. The 
 statue was designed by James Earl Fraser and is a remarkably 
 realistic piece of work commanding general admiration. 
 
THE TOWER OF JEWELS ILLUMINATED. 
 
 A flood of light sent forth by hundreds of searchlights and coming from 
 all directions makes the night scene at the Exposition one never to be for¬ 
 gotten As these shafts of light strike the Mam Tower they cause tens of
