Mines and mining in America I Right- ly should one of the most magnificent of all the Exposition palaces be devoted to mines and mining. You will find it situated at the southern extremity of the western lagoon between the T'ransporte. -ion and i]leeteioity buildings. The building is 750 feet long by 360 wide and it bas fts inspiration in early Italian renaissance with which sufficient liberty has been taken to invest the building with muoh animation in appearance. The exterior design partaltes of a decided- ly French spirit. Simple and straight. forward in plan it embraces on the ground Door spaeoes vestibules, restaur- ants, toilet room, etc. Entrances will be found on each of the four sides of the building, those of the north and south fronts being the most spacious and prom• inent. On the left and right of each en- trenee inside, stare broad flight& of easy stairs leading to the galleries. The gal- leries are sixty feet wide and twenty.Ave feet high from the ground floor, and are lighted on the sides by large windows and from above by a high clear story extend- ing around the building. The principal fronts of the Mines and Mining building look southward on the great Central Court and northward on the western and middle lakes and an island gorgeous with flowers, Over these main fronts aro en• ormous arched entrances richly embel• listed with sculptured decorations em- blematic of mining and its allied indus- tries. Large square pavilions stand at each end of these fronts, the pavilions beicg surmounted by low doors, which murk the four oorners of the building and are lighted by large arched windows which extend through the galleries. The main entrances and the pavilions are separated' by richly decorated arcades forming an open loggia on the ground floor and a deeply reoesssd promenade on the gallery floor level, whish commands a fine view of the lakes and islands to the north and the great Central Court on bhe south. These covered promenades are each bwenty•five feet wide and two hun- dred and thirty feet long and from them is had access to the building at numerous points. Theca loggias on the first floor are faced with marble of different kinds and hues, which will be considered part of the mining exhibit and so utilized as to have it marketable at the close of the • Exposition. The ceilings of the loggias are heavily coffered and richly decorated in plaster end color. The exterior is massive though graceful in appearance. Sixty-five feet is the distance from the main ground to the top cornice of the Main front, while the train entrances aro ninety feet to the apex of pediment. Large segmented windows extend through the galleries and are planed between the broad piers, affording an abundance of light to the space under the galleries. The two storied portion of the building of which the gallery farms the upper part extends entirely around the signor tare and lies a width of sixty feet. The great interior space is one story high, 630 feet long and 200 feet wide with an extretne height of oue hundred feet at centre and fortyseven feet at the sides, spanned by steel cantilever roof trusses supported on steel columns placed sixty. five feet apart longitudinally and 116 feet and fiftyseveu feet six inohee transverse. ly, thus leaving clear spaoe iu the centre of the building 080feet long and 115 feet wide with two side divisions each fifty seven feet six inches wide and 680 feet long, leaving the central portion eneum• bared with only sixbee)t sspporbing steel posts. As to the exhibits that will be found in this building, they will prove of engrossing interest to old and young. Ohandeliers sixty feet in diameter and weighing nine tour are being swung from the big trusses of manufacturers ball ab bbo World's Fair, Chimp, The first ono WAS pub up lash week, Ib was not the biggest one by any moans, but it was large enough to keep a dozen gangs of muscular Morena pulling for three hours on rigging fixed especially to hoist the chandelier. More ropes and heavier ones that lay in the hold of a lake freighter were libeled to the moustor trussee of manufaotnrere hall and dropped down to grapple the big ohandelior. It is really an elecbrolior, fot when it is in place twenty eight aro lighie of 2,000 eanclle power oaab will bo ' tisponded from the steel sbrurbnre, Five of these immenee sleotroliers will be swung in manufaobse- ers building. They will be raised 140 feet from the floor. The big ono in the middle of the hall hangs directly above the Meek tower. It weighs abort 12 tons acid will support 110 ars lights. The light trimmers who keep these chandeli- et'e in repair will make a perilous asoonb bo the big cage -like structure. They will have to climb from the floor to the °entre of the roof over the latbioed work of the steel trusses. Then they dosoand a ladder like a fire escape, coming down to the cage. Boob of these eleobroliers is supported by a dozen or more steel cables. Ii1 EYMN E011 you'1'i¢ ItilibON.

He was very tired ; would Mr. Robinson help a brother in distress and allow him to remain over night 7 The request was readily granted and for several hours the two talked of spiritual things and debated deep questions of theology. At ton o'olook there was a knock at the door. The naw Domer was a mien. He wanted to see a clergyman, as be and his companion, a young woman, were anxious to be married. "Why," said 1Ir.

E. railway, Mr. Hopkirk, Post Offioe Inspeobor, has advised the Board that "the Postmaster -General bas dsoided to extend the postal service be. tween Palmerston and Wiarton to Strut• ford by trains 8 and 4," which is under• stood to mean that we will have two mails daily to and from Stratford, in place of one as heretofore—on the morn- ing and afternoon trains south, and on the noon and evening trains north. This will be a great benefit not only to the people of this town, but to the whole disbrfot along the G. B.& L. E. and Don• fleeting lines.
