An Enormous Working Model of the Panama Canal, Showing Ships Passing Through the Locks. The Moth and Candle Whirligig Swing.
OMPARATIVELY little has been printed about the
tunny side of the greatest of all international exposi
tions. It is a fact, nevertheless, that the creators of
the Panama-Pacific jumbo among world’'s fairs are
gpending the round sum of $10,000,000 on a section of the
exhibit called “The Zone,” which is believed to have exhausted
the ingenuity of the world’s best experts in the way of keep
ing multitudes of people amused.
This intensely human side of the big show—the laughter
provoking side—lis on the same gigantic scale as the serious
artistic and instructive departments. Some old and peren
pially popular devices are utilized, but invariably with im
provements. For Instance, the familiar aerial whirligig is
no longer a plain, lofty central structure with cars swinging
from stays like the ribs of a spinning umbrellas It is a fasci

nating moth and candle affair. When you take an eccentric
flight on this whirliglg you appear to all beholders like a
gauzy-winged insect fluttering about a huge lighted tallow dip.
When you are temporarily wearied of being educated in
the artistic and mechanical wonders of the world and feel like
tangoing some responsibility from your brain to your legs, you
don't go to a plain, ordinary dance hall, but to “Mother Hub
bard’s Cupboard,” and dance on a huge plate set in the floor.
Whatever you do at the exposition for fun or for milder re
creation has a fascinating “meaning all its own"” back of its
facilities for amusement.
When on pure amusement bent you find yourself in a veri
table topsy-turvy land. At no other exposition have crazy vil
lages been so ridiculously demented—crazy tramways, with
crazy trolley cars going their crazy way upon them; a per
fectly crazy town pump operated by the craziest possible
dummy man; you duck your head to pass under a crazy
clothesline bearing men’s garments and come face to face
with the legend, “Votes for Men”; you are tempted to enter
a “Grand Hotel and Case” only to find it crazily filled with
dummy guests and dummy walters; you can visit a wonderful
“Giant’s Kitchen,” where mechanical cook and dishes, pots
and pans are all on the same gigantic scale. And these are
only a few of the myriad devices to make you laugh—at your
self and at others.
There are milder recreations that are not without their
instructive value. A huge working mode] of the Panama
Canal is so extensive that visitors seated in comfortable the
atre chairs are carried along the route of the canal upon a
moveable platform while a dictaphone at the arm of each
chair describes each scene as it comes into view. A novel
amusement feature is provided by working submarine boats
of sixty-five tons displacement, which operate In an artificlal
\luoon. The aeroscope is a huge inverted pendulum, operating
like a glant see-saw, with a great balancing weight on the

short end and a car for passengers at the extension of its
longer arm. This raises sightseers more than three hundred
and twenty-five feet above San Francisco Bay, affording an
unsurpassed view of the exposition city and the Golden Gate.
“oOld Nuremberg,” a plaything costing $226,000, is an exact
likeness of the city that has been called the “jewel among the
ancient cities of Germany.” Its historic market place is re
produced in detail. In this yet quaint city the “Iron Maiden,”
the most terrible means of torture ever concelved, made heér
first appearance, and is here reproduced from the original,
which still exists.
This city was a centre of art and invention in the sixteenth
century. In its history are the mames of Albrecht Durer,
painter; Adam Kraft, sculptor; Veit Stoss, wood carver,
Wenzel Jamnitzer, goldsmith; Veit Nirschvogel, glass painter;
Martin Behaim, discoverer and maker of the first globe, and
Hans Sachs, whose life was given in Richard Wagner's opera
“Die Meistersinger.” These are resfored to their various
activities. Nuremberg's old council hall, “The Rathus,” with
Durer's decorations, is shown.
