—Dietz on 6cience — SCIENCE BEAT FAN DANCERS AS FAIR LURE Marvels of Man's Progress Attracted More Than Midway Shows. BY DAVID DIETZ ard Editor As the fan dancer' shiver in the chill breezes of Lake Michigan. Chicago's A Century of Progress fair draws to a close, in its final weeks, 1 has suddenly become fashionable to turn a critical ey? upon the Midway. The New Yorker prints a substance of which is that whereas one ‘ Little Egypt” sufficed for the Chicago fair of 1303, progress has brought the present fair a whole host of fan dancers, oriental dancers. and the like. There ls, of course, no good reason why fun should not be poked at the Midway ofthe Century of Progress. My own explorations of the •Streets of Paris” and the similar concessions, revealed to my way of thinking that parts were amusing and bright, parts were cheap and dull, and that, almost always the barker promised more than the showhad to offer. T felt that, the admission price to many of the concessions was much too high. Light Made Great Show It will he a great pity, however, if the Midway becomes so much a topic of conversation that the rest of the fair is forgotten. No doubt, it is true that some people were attracted to the fair by the Midway alone. But I think that the Midway concessionaires would admit, that unfortunately from their point of view more people were interested , in the Hall of Science I think that for every person whose chief memory of the fair; will be the contortions of an orien- i tal dancer, there will he a thousand ! who will remember best the glorious pageantr" of the fairground bynight. They v ill remember how j pageantry of th° fairground into j a gorgeous spectacle of glowing! wonder. At night the walls of the build- j ings were alive with light. Those j flat surfaces of blue and green and j orange that looked so harsh and garish in the hot sun. became living walls of light, delighting the eve and stimulating thp imagination. Fifteen miles of tubular lights, the familiar neon red, supplemented byblue. green and yellow, outlined parapets and toyvers. Fifty Hays Make Halo And upon the sky played great searchlights in a dozen different | colors. Behind one building, fifty I powerful rays converged to make a great halo of light. In another spot, flickering, changing rays of color rivaled the aurora borealis of the far north. I liked best to ride in one of the! launches upon the lagoon at night.! Gently, it carries you from one j palace of light to another, this one J gleaming blue and orange, that one deep rose At one end of the la-' goon, the launeh skirts the foun-j tains.

Fven Mathematics Interest I like to think of the hundreds of thousands of people who flocked into the Hall of Science, the Hall of Transportation, and thp other important exhibits. They walked an average of ten or twenty miles pach to see the wonders of the modern world. I saw them stand three deep around an exhibit whose purpose :
