THE WORLD'S GREATEST FAIR AT ST. LOUIS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 412) "The Pike"-In a recent issue we called attention to the most interesting of the pike attractions, and will only take the time in this issue to mention a few special attractions which no one should miss the opportunity of seeing. The Cliff Dwellers comprises three hundred descendants of the original cliff dwellers of Arizona and New Mexico, affording a valuable contribution to the science of ethnology; teaching the derivation of the tribes of the human family, a science which seeks to answer the great problem, "Whence came man and whither is he going?" A valuable aid in solving this great question is furnished in the exposition of the "Cliff Dwellers on the Pike." The Baby Incubators where at all times a dozen or more real live babies may be seen, is interesting alike to the doctor and to the layman. The principle in operation in the case of the poorly developed infant is precisely the same as that we naturally associate with the hatching of chickens without the aid of the "atient hen. Heat is the principal factor in producing this development, but it is heat regulated by unlimited skill, accompanied by infinite patience and devotion. Over and Under the Sea is a miniature harbor of real water, the exact depth of which we cannot say, but can testify to a most remarkable trip by boat. where fish of every size, form and shape could be seen, coral reefs, etc., and after ascending to the surface and passing through a thoroughfare to the base of Eiffel Tower, we are taken in an elevator on board a great oird-like craft, and our aerial journey homeward is commenced. A fine birds-eye view of Paris is afforded from this vantage point, as well as the cities of Switzerland, and then our course carries over the great Atlantic, landing at the World's Fair in St. Louis. The Naval Battle never fails to interest the spectators. The show is very realistic, the program including the reproductions of the naval battles of Manilla. Santiago, Port Arthur and other famous sea combats. The boats are twenty-eight in number, and operated by electricity. The Philippine Exhibit occupies 47 acres in which are housed 75,000 catalogued exhibits, as well as 1,100 representatives of the different peoples of the islands. It comprises the walled city and its approach, the bridge of Spain; the dwellers on Arrowhead Lake; the Plaza Santa Cruz; a demonstration of educational progress, including a Philippine school in active operation; a replica of the capitol building of the Philippines; an exhibit of the tropical hard woods; an ethnology exhibit; a fisheries exhibit; an exhibit of mineral wealth, and groups of men and women selected from various tribes, including Negritos, Igorrotes, Moros and others, all with their native surroundings. All Americans interested in the progress made in developing our insular possessions should visit this marvelous exhibition. South African Boer War-The audience is brought face to face with heroes who played conspicuous roles on Transvaal battlefields. In a rugged amphitheater of wooded hills on Skinker road, surrounded by a perspective of African scenery, is reproduced the battle of Colenso, fought on the Tugela river December 15, 1899, where eleven field guns were captured from Gen. Long, and where Buller's British forces were held in check for many days. The battle of Paardeburg, where Gen. Cronje surrendered on February 27, 1900, to Lord Roberts, is also presented. The battles are reproduced twice a day, with uni forms and guns worn in the actual conflict. Tyrolean Alps-At the extreme eastern end of The Pike rise the apparently snowcapped peaks of the famous Swiss mountains, visible from almost every part of the Fair grounds. The exterior illusion is complete in the minutest detail, and as the visitor passes within he finds himself in the midst of an Alpine scene which is remarkable for the faithfulness of its portrayal. In the village street stands a statue of Andreas Hofer, beneath a little chapel cut into solid rock. The surrounding cottages are all faithful imitations of Tyrolese dwellings, taken from the hamlets of Bozen, Hall, Bruck and Goss. Tyrolean girls, clad in bright national costumes, sell souvenirs in the street, through which foams a miniature torrent, spanned by several bridges. Passing to the left of the fountain one boards the tram car for a trip through the mountain valleys. An ingenious arrangement of scenery brings the heart of the Alps to the World's Fair. The car halts at intervals for glimpses of the most picturesque of the Alpine villages, including the birthplace of Mozart. the famous composer. At the end of the tram line an elevator carries the visitor to the peaks of the Ortler, where a noisy waterfall, crashing through the mountain, passes to a picturesque little lake, lends added realism to the Rummelspacher scenes.
