GO INTO THE GALLERIES.

People Who Do Not Climb the Stairs Miss Many Fine Exhibits. Up to the present time it has appeared as if there was some danger that in the immensity of space that the sightseer has to cover at ike fair, the galleries of the big buildings would be neglected. Since the crowds have begun to arrive and the attendance has run up to the hundred thousand mark, people have found out that there is much to be seen above ground, and have climbed the stairs in search of new marvels with as much energy as they have displayed in going from one building to another. Still exhibitors in the galleries are inclined to complain that the masses pass them by, and ask for better means of transportation from the floors to the galleries. They suggest signs pointing out the way. and stating what can be found above. The chief of the transportation department has promised his exhibitors more elevators and the additional attraction of a band on wet afternoons. These people who hurry through a building without diverging from the main avenue on the floor make a great mistake. In the assignment of space it was impossible to place all the best exhibits in the most prominent parts of the buildings, and in most of the exhibit halls as much can be seen by taking a side aisle or walking through the gallery, as in the crush of visitors on the main avenues. Especially is this true in the Transportation building, where the whole of the bicycle exhibit Is instilled in the gallery, and a vast number of models of engineering works, and curious examples of boats and carliases can be found

“Mamma and I,” said Priscilla one day, “are taking medicine. We each have a bottle, and mamma has tied a string around the neck of hers, so as to tell it, she says. I suppose I’ll have to tie a string around mine, too, so us to tell it from hers.”—Philadelphia Times.
