At The Worild’s Fair.

HLecrricity.

PF. B. WOODWORTH, E. E,

The World’s Fair from an. electrical
standpoint alone is well worth visiting by

everyone, Infact, one might say it is all
an electrical exhibit.

A. comparison with the electrical exhibit
atthe Centennial is astonishing. The whole

exhibit could have been placed in fifty feet —

square; and now we believe that electrical
work is in its infancy, |

For grandness and splendor all must admit

that the exhibit is far ahead of anything thé

world has everseen. Probably the fechnical
student is the only one who could raise an
objection. Comparatively few exhibits aré
shown im such a way as to present their his-
torical development, details or principles of
construction. What interests thé ordinary
observer as a grand effect is lost upon the
student if he is not given an opportunity to
see the inside of the thing. The efectric
launches are beautiful, wonderful, and ‘go.
Yet, excepting the signs at the ticket offices;

the public is none-the wiser after seeing of

using. The writer heard a yeung-: man
from an eastern college explain to a‘lady
friend that under the floor was a.Shipman.

Later on the same trip, the trap was lifted

years ago it would have been impossible to
secure anything like the recognition that
apricuiture has received at Chicago, This
is the direct outcome of ‘the great improve-
ment in agricultural methods, and the intel-
lectual advancement of farmers throughout
our great land.

En our opinion not a little of this advance-
ment can be traced diréctly to the founda-
. tion of agricultural colleges and experiment

pressed with the important. part taken . by
agricultural. colleges in the collection and
