SAN FRANCISCO FAIR
SAN FRANCISCO—The eyes of the
world are today reviewing with San
Franeiseo the nine years that have
passed since this great metropolis was
shaken by earthquake and ravished by
fire. Nothing could better Illustrate
the spirit of San Franeiseo than the
picture spread out here now: a world’s
exposition pronounced the greatest of
all world’s expositions—financed and
built and successfully conducted with- |
In less than a decade of the time when
the city where the exposition is held
was a smoking ash heap.
Only exceeded by the epochal
achievement of the rebuilding of the
burned city In this wonder accomplish
ment, the $.">0,000,000 Panama-Pacific
International Kxpnsitinn. which, since
Its opening on February 20tli. has con
tinued in a career unprecedented for
attendance in the history of universal
celebrations.
There Is one tiling above all others
that insures the continued success of
the exposition. No visitor has left
disappointed. The statement was fre
quently made during ttie period before
tile exposition opened that such fea
tures as the color scheme of the expo
sition and the night illuminations
could not be adequately described.
That sounded like n brash statement.
But visitors here find that it is liter
ally true. Distinguished guests from
nil parts of ihe world have been un
animous in declaring that the reality
exceeds the most enthusiastic advance
notices of tile thousands who visited
the exposition before it epened.
It is not only in physical character
istics and adornment that the exposi
tion has made its high impression.
Rqually significant has hern the praise
extended to the exhibit features. With
out thorough representation by the na
tions of (he earth of their utilities and
products, their economic, social and
ethical progress no universal exposi
tion could he held to he successful.
Rdueation Is the dominant phase of
any universal exposition, education in
its broadest sense. Rdueation has
naturally been the theme of (he ex
position builders—education in the
material progress of the world for the
pastd ecade. Ip order that an epitome
of the world’s progress for the past
decade might better be given, the rul
ing was made that any article entered
for award must have been produced
since the St. Louis exposition ten years
ago. So far as practicable, every ex
hibit is shown In action, where It has
properties of action.
This has resulted in a vast interest
in the eleven major exhibit palaces.
They are the deciding factors in the
unprecedented success of the exposi
tion. The external features of beauty
—architecture, color, illumination,
sculpture and landscape, to say noth
ing of the glorious San Francisco cli
mate—would not of themselves, effec
tive as they are, serve to sustain last
ing interest. Men and women of the
hay counties who have season tickets
would not he visiting I lie exposition
from three to five times a week merely
to gaze upon the beautiful adornments.
Neither does the amusement Zone,
complete and diversified as tire the
elements of amusement there, serve t«
sustain it. Nor would the entertain
ment and host features of the many
pavilions of the foreign nations and
the buildings of the States.
The reason for the exposition's suc
cess is the reason for the exposition:
Kxhibits—the presentation of the world
in brief for men and women too busied
with their individual affairs to keep
pace with the dectide’s advance.
I niversal expositions usually pre
sent some significant or revolutionary
advance in though or invention. At
the Philadelphia Centennial in 1S7C the
dominating feature was the Bell tele
phone. With the Buffalo exposition
came the steam turbine. St. Louis
featured the “Old Reliable" Corliss
engine as a signal advance in power
generation. Likewise there are epochal
advances signalized at the Panama
Paolflc International Imposition: wire
less telegraphy and telephony, the
aeroplane and the Diesel engine In
power generation. The world has
moved very swiftly during the past
decade. That is one of the contribut
ing factors making the exposition a
source of interest to keen men and wo
men who desire some sort of a panor
amie of progress.
To attempt to give even the most
skeletonized review of the tens of
thousands of exhibits would not be
possible in one artirle. There are
some that naturally, by reason of
greater floor area, greater value in
vested. or higher interest in the article,
attract more attention than others. In
the Palace of Machinery, for instance,
the exhibit by the United States gov
ernment of naval and military arma
ment is a fresh and steady attraction.
Here also lhe Diesel stationery pngine.
set on a hard wood floor, with rare
rugs around it and engineers in white
flannel, is a constant feature of inter
est. running as smoothly as a Swiss
watch. Engines and engine rooms are
ordinarily associated with oil, cotton
waste and grimed engineers. This
engine might be placed in one’s parlor
and run for a year without spotting
with oil or defiling with soot. Milady
might serve afternoon tea to its hum
ming.
An inti-resting feature of the Diesel
engine is one that links the western
air of California and the Panama
Pyeific Exposition with (lie mighty St.
Taiuls Exposition of ten years ago
The engine slarts with an air com
pressor tank. On the day-Fehruhr.\
2tlth-that President Wilson started the
wheels at the exposition with the wire
less spark from Washington, the Die
sel engine began operating under Jin
impetus ol' the same spark. Hut Hu
air compressing starter which Hie cur
rent released, was tilled in St. Louis
and shipped to San Francisco in order
that something more than sentiment
should unite the American expositions
of today and the exposition of a decade
ago.
Maehinery Hall, occupying k.32 acres
of floor space and widely advertised
during Hie pre-exposition period as Hie
largest frame building under one roof
in Hie world,-which it is.-nalurally is
entitled to first mention.
The Diesel engine is one of tin- prin
cipal attractions. On exhibition in
this palace, and in sharp contrast to
this ultra-efficient power generator, is
I lie famous Hahi oek ''Centennial,” tin
engine that In Its day marked as dis
tinct an advance in Hu field of power
as does tin- Diesel engine ttday. This
relic was purchased b\ the builders
after il had been in service fift> years
and Is displayed at Hu- exposition for
its historic worth in the history of
power development. Ranking in the
judgment of many engineers as only
second in importance to the Diesel en
gine in Hie decade's advance in power
is the exhibition of methods and con
trol and generation of high tension
electricity, (if significant contempor
aneous value in the world of machinery
and power or by forging.
in tile Palace of Machinerv also are
shown the Instruments and methods
that have very recently developed for
the recording of various kinds of
power, steam and electricity, for exam
ple sucli instruments as those for regu
lating temperature and for keeping
temperature stable after a certain
point has been reached. This repre
sents one of the most important of all
of tlie advances made in the domain
of maehinery and power during the
decade since the St. Louis exposition.
A most dramatic contrast in pro
gress is afforded in the Palace of
Transportation. In this latter palace
there are the historic mail pouches of
the pony express, an old congress
coach used in early days by the Wells
Fargo Overland Mail, and. within a
dozen paces, that behemoth of modern
steam locomotives the “4!H3” Mallet of
the Southern Pacific.
Transportation goes further than
steam, for, near this, “1343." with a
hauling capacity of 17,000 tons, is Hu
latest Westinghouse electric engine,
while aeroplanes and automobiles fur
nish graphic evidence of other advan
ced means of transportation by land
and air, with maps, charts and models
of great carriers displaying the de
velopment of ocean transportation.
Side by side stand the groat Mullet
and the diminutive f'nllis P. I Inning
ton, the first engine to tie operated by
the Southern Pacific. It has a haul
ing eapactiy of 000 ions nml was just
ns puffy and important in its day as
the Mallet is now.
In the domain of mines and metal
lurgy the most important advance that
is featured in this palace is that of
human welfare: safety precautions for
the men who work beneath the earth.
Of all present day Industries, mining
has had recorded during the past de
cade the most notable advances in wel
fare betterment. The work is shown
of the Corps of Safety of the United
States r.uroau of Mines, a corps that
constantly travels over the country in
stalling welfare equipment and giving
practical welfare instructions in the
mining districts. The safety drills
conducted at the mine dug beneath the
floor of the Palace of Mines is a con
stant source of fresh interest to the
thousands of visitors who throng the
palace. In this great palace all things:
pertaining to mines and metallurgy are
exhibited and particular attention is
given to tint newer treatments of
| metals, blooming processes and met
allurgical finishings of iron and steel
Model mines are shown and ore in all
of Its stages, from the crude to the
refined and finished article.
