WHAT THE SAX FRANCISCO
EXPOSITION IS
The Panama Pacific International
Exposition celebrates the completion
of the Panama canal- the union of the
Atlantic with the Pacific, that dream
i the centuries. Just a.« the event it
celebrates is a wonder of the modern
world, so has it been thu plan to make
the celebration itself a modern won
der of celebrations.
In general dimensions the grounds
are two and one-half miles b'ug ami
one-half mile wide. On this area
there are approximately S3) buildings,
ranging from the behemoth of build
. ing. the Machinery Palace, to th
;*'n foot fronts of the post card con
cessions. But every building, Irre
spective of size or location, ts an in
tegral part of the general ground
s heme. The tw ■ r in landscape ef
fects are represented in the South
: Gardens, into which the main entrance
gates lead- and the North Gardens,
along the.shore of San Francisco lav.
The visitor to the expwsltlon. on
\nv of the car lines passing over the
rest of the heights hack of the ex
i position, first looks down up or. ? city
f massed color in dome, spire, roof
'.ltd gardens. If it is by night he
j looks down u;«>n that two-mlle stretch
-f vision presented in color- by th ' ,
■ iracnlous effects secured in lighting,
s e.-.mparable only to those fragments
nr memory k eeps „f fabled cities
; from the Arabian Nights, or fairs
'an is of awe and gorgeousness. Words
fail in attempting to describe the
eight effect of these lights, all eon
ealed from the eyes, but so artfully
arranged as to bathe the whole vast
range in a soft- muliteolored efful
, genre of rainbow tints.
Entering the main of Scott street
gate-s the Tower of Jewels. 435 feet in i
■: r-igkt. commands the eys. 500 feet ;
away arr'-ss the p-sols. the fountains.
; the ssatnary. the palms ami ijarpetings

-he fs'uth Carder*. The Tower i' >
1 -V- arch through which no erters the;
f nrt of the 1'niverse. On either side j
>f the tower to east and west, exten 1
- -he facades of four of the exhibit pal- ;
sees of the main group of eight. These
•ire. first to the right of the Tower
•he Palace of Manufacturers and nex‘.
--H--rated bv the f'ourt of Flower*,
marked by lofty Italian towers, the
Palace of Varied Industries.
Immediately to the left of the Tow
er is the Palace of Lil era! Arts- and
next to that, separated by the Court
■t P~lm«. marked again by two lofty
Italian towers at the entrance, is the
Palace f Education.
The {tout'll Gardena extend along the
entire fronts of these palaces.
The boulevard between the Gardens
and the porticoes and approaches to
the palaces is the Avenue of Paints.
To the right as one enters the gate,
and oceuppying the s|>ace at the east
'lid of the Gardens, is Festival Hall,
a majestic building with r mammoth
pipe organ. This will be tin? cent.1
of the musical and theatrical activi
ties of the exposition- and a spacious
auditorium where will be held eon
ferences an,I congresses that do not
use the civic auditorium, which is
Inc-ted in San Francisco.
To the left or west end of the Gar
dens is the Palace of Horticulture,
wit it its great dome of glass 152 feet
in diameter. Here will 1h> assembled
'he most varied exhibition of horti
•ulture and its allied subjects that
has ever been gathered tinder one
roof in the history of world exposi
tions. The dome is copied from the
dome on the mosque of the Sultan
Ahmed I. at Constantinople. The
princiwil architecture is in eighteenth
century French Ueniassnner. The
■ost of this palaee was $341,066.
Coming then upon the South Gar
lens and entering beneath the Tow, r'
if .Jewels into the Court of the Uni
verse it is seen that there is here a
group of eight exhibit palaces tn one
cult, with the Court of the Universe
he great dominating and radiating
hub. not only for the eight pnlaees.
but for the entire exposition ground
plan.
Looking directly ahead, one sees the
Column of Progress. 160 feet in height
1-alancing the north elevation of the
eight main exhibit palacrs as the
Tower of Jewels does the southern ele
ration. Surmounting the lofty eol
1 mn, which is sculptured with figures
symbolic of progress, is the heroic
figure of the “Adventurous Bowman.'"
(minting his arrow still further before
and over the waters of San Francisco
bay to the Xorth.
The Court of the Universe is in di
. ensior.s ' by 500 feet and is cap
,ble of seating 7.000 people.
Walking on through the Court of the
Universe to the Column of Progress.
.5 one turns around faces the way
he eame- he sees the Palace of Agrienl
lure and adjoining it. separated by a
-.vide colonnaded court, the Palace of
Pood Products.
To the left, as one still stands with
his back to the Column of Progress
and the Bay. comes first tlie Palace
of Transportation, and next the Pal
ace of Mines and Metallurgy.

bound compactly together ty lofty |
arches, wide colonnades, peristyles !
and eourts. one returns for the time
to the Court of the Universe. Here !
are two mighty fountains with their J
towering eolnms. one the Column ;
of the Rising Sun. the other the Col- !
umn of the Sotting Sun—the first tvp- |
ified by a male figure expressive of i
the vigor and elan of youth and the
morning, the other by a girlish figure
1 the head slightly bowed as though in
sleep. The east approach to this court
is surmounted by a mighty group
! symbolical of the nations «.r thr east,
and west approach by a group sym
i bolicnl of the natiti* of the west.
Looking through those oust and vest
approaches are alluring vistas. Let the
' visitor pass beneath the sweep of tin’
Arches of the Rising Sim. lie is now
going tine east, and -after a pleasant
"alk through a brief space of gar
den s. he comes to the Court of .aimad
mire. another of the principal courts
of the main group of eight exhibit
palaeos.
Should he turn instead and go west
beneath the Arch of the Setting Sun.
he would find himself in the Court of
the Four Seasons.
In all of these courts are sculp
tures by the worll masters and in the
tyhpamim of each corridor arch, mu
rals by men famous internationally for
this work, landscape effects, fountains
and expuisitely wrought frle7os.
This entire unit of eight buildings
with their spacious courts is bounded
by four great avenues; the Avenue
of Palms on the south, the Avenue of
Progress on the east, the "splannde on
the north and the Avenue of Admin
istration on the west.
Fast of this >roup. across the Av
enue of Progress, is the mighty Palace
of Machinery.

Along the northern, or San Fran
cisco bay frontage of the unit, are
the North Gardens, the Marina, which
is a promenade overlooking the bay,
and the yacht harbor.
In all this makes eleven great ex
hibit palaces, which with Festival
Hall, comprise the twelve mighty
structures in the central architectural
scheme of the exposition.

HOW SPEECH CHANGES.
English Words Are Nov* Very Differ
•nt From What They Used to Bo.
A striking characteristic of the Eng
lish language Is tbe ability Its words
possess of passing front one part of
speech Into another. In the course of
Its history English bns been largely
stripped of the endings which one#
characterized different parts of speech.
Our Infinitives no longer end In en,
tbe representative of an early an Wo
do not say tellen. still less tellaa. but
simply telL Our nouns bnre discarded
tbe a or e or n In which many of them
terminated originally Drot>a has be
come "drop." ende bns become “end."
wudn hns become “wood."
In consequence of tbe dlsappenmnce
of the terminations, words have been
reduced to their root form Hence they
pass with little difficulty from one part
of s|>eech Into another This was not
so once.
Let us take our old, familiar gram
matlcnl friend love ns an Illustration.
In Latin It Is amnre hs a rerb; aa a
noun It Is amor. One In consequence
cannot be used for tbe other. Such
transition difference of termination
completely prevents. So In our earliest
English speech the nouu lore was lufu,
tbe rerb wna lutlan. Here again one
•ould not be nsed for the other.
But when the substantive ending was
Iropped from lufu and tbe verbal end
ing from tufl.in tbe root luf alone re- !
•nalned. That has given the word love
Dlls enn be used Indifferently either as
a noun or a rerb. In both cases the ex
Istlng Anal e Is of no Importance It Is
i mere lifeless survival which has
weight only In the conventional spell
ing and nowhere else.—Professor Thom i
ts It lyiuustmry In Harper's Magazine
Whistler and tho Girl.
A girl amateur once showed some of
ber dreadful attempts at painting to
Whistler. “1 always pnlut Nature
j iust as I see it." she said. "H'm," ■
i said Whistler, examining one of her
1 pictures; "I admit that Is usually
1 right" “Usually?" exclaimed the Indy. ,
I thought one should always paint Nn
| ture as one sees it." “No." was the
; reply; “certainly not when one sees it
i like that"-London Standard.

In a Trie#
Mnny persons use the phrase *V> n
• rrice" who have no conception of (ts
i meaning. A trice Is the sixtieth part
| .if a second of time. The hour !x di
i vlded Into sixty minutes, the minute
! into sixty seconds and the second Into
i -lxty trices, or thirds, from tbe Spnn

Printing Point Does Not
Bob Up and Down
In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
i type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
\
Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
\ I
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
| and this does not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
; This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, type
writing is free from blurs and every letter in the right
> place.
