The story of umn’p acbicvei.
in ( v >ry jmrt of the world is now
told daily to the thousands who
‘ visit tlio L'ren World’s i'Vr m St,
Louis, the (rates to which wore
opened on April 30.
It ts told in moving machinery,
in pro cos .os tiiat aro going forward
to com pletion, and in finished
products; it is told again in flowers
and in fruits; in the peace products
of education and in the war products
tiiat frown upon one from govern
ment hill and those that are
gathered under ennvas.
From tlio golden Victory; aloft
on tho Ilall of Festivals, to the
silvery surface of tho lagoons, the
story is told under the sunrny; it is
repeated at night when the palaces
seem atlarue and the Cascades are
resplendent with phosphorescent
fire. '
[ Thoso to whom the story is told
stand spo li-bound before bohic of
tho chapters. The giant prime
movers in tho palaces of Machinery
cause a silence tlint is nkin to fear;
tho beauties of the throbbing water,
tumbling fantastically down tho
inolincs from the Colonnade of
Stales, exercise a hypnotic spell, the
wonders of the Orient, spread be
fore' you by tho workers from
<3hinn, Jnpvn and India, result in
mystification.
It > is not until you leaves tho
tfair, grounds and your mind is free
from.tho evor-ooouring attractions
that you have time to marvel at the
glory and the greatness of i,t all.

A twentieth century train is in
motion in the palace of Transpor
tation, yet it docs not move forward,
for a system of cog wheels
counteracts the tendency and the
motion is therefore only apparent.
Eut when you enter, as you are
permitted to do, you feel the sway
as if you really were speeding
forward, and you hear the rumble
oT the wheels. Revolving on a
pedestal, in the center of this
palace is the 'largest locomotive
ever created. It is alive with
steam, • and in and out flash the
pistons. The force which is being
expended Iherewonld sand it ahead
