INTERESTING FEATURES IN TWO EXHIBITION PALACES
Amazing Voice Amplifier and Other Wonders of the World's Progress at the Great Panama-Pacific Canal
Celebration—This Year the Year of All Years to Take Marvel Journey to the Pacific Coast.
I^^ROM every part of the world
visitors are thronging to the
JL great Exposition at Ban Fran-
cisco. The Exposition there is
the most .comprehensive and Interest-
ing of all universal expositions, and It
will probably be the last to be held
within the present generation. Now
is the time to see it.
The Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position, which opened on Feb. 20 lust,
has charmed the millions who have al-
ready beheld the magic city by the
Golden Gate.
The marvels of the universe are dis-
played in the vast exhibit palaces, af-
fording the most comprehensive sr.iu-
mury of the world's progress ever dis-
closed. Muny of the exhibits are as
revolutionary In their character and
mean as much to future generations
as did the locomotive or telegraph
when it was first introduced. The
Audion amplifier, for example, makes
It possible for a man In New York city
to deliver an address through the tele-
phone to a large audience in Ban Frnn-
* cisco, 3,000 miles away. Through the)
use of heat waves the Intensity of the
voice vibrations is Increased to such an
extent that, although the orator may
deliver his address in a low voice Into
the telephone In New York, In San
Francisco It is possible to increase the
sound in volume sufficient to fill a large
hall. On the other hand, the New York
speaker's address may be distributed
through telephonic receiving disks at-
tached to each chair in the hall in Ban
Francisco. In one of the exhibit pal-
aces visitors may. without charge, hear
a man In New York read from the
headlines of the New York newspa-
pers. TJils performance begins In the
Palace of Liberal Arts each day at 3
o'clock.
The amazing volee amplifier is but
one of many revolutionary scientific
advances demonstrated at the Exposi-
tion. The invention has made possible
the transcontinental telephone, and the
principle which is 'applied has not been
developed to lta fullest extent it Is
said that with the probable develop-

tnent of the long distance wireless tele-
phone this new invention will make it
possible to project the human voice
halfway around the globe without the
use of a telephone wire. Contrast the
era sixty-five years ago, when the pio-
neer required months to cross the
plains, with that of today, when the
orator in New York may address bis
audience in Ban Francisco.
And there are many other develop-
ments as wonderful and as revolution-
ary. all revealing the trend of the
world's progress in the arts, sciences
and Industries. If you are Interested
In mining, for example, beneath the
floor of the vast Palace of Minea you
may flud u mine Iti operation, with Its
stupes and tunnels and shafts and com-
pressed air drills. Wult a moment and
you muy witness an explosion in the
mine. _ A gong rings; an ambulance
dashes up with a corps of rescuers pro-
vided with respiratory apparatua, and
effects a rescue
in the Palace of Machinery you may
see a miniature battleship bloyvn up by
a miniature mine patterned after one
of the latest types of the submarine
mine, in the Palace of Education you
will see classes of students engaged in
their studies, und perhaps you may he
able to see Mine. Moutessorl, the cele-
brated Italian teacher, Instructing
classes of children. In the vast ex-
hibit pnlaceti and state buildings mo-
tion pictures are freely employed with
this object in view. Thera are forty-
three free cinematograph shows upon
the Exposition grounds, and, by the
way, there is no charge to enter the
exhibit palaces.
If you are interested In wbnt the for-
eign nntlons have accomplished you
have only to visit the marvelous dis-
plays of the European countries or of
tlios, of the Orient or Bouth America.
Canada or Australia. Amoug the
French displays you may, if you wish,
behold priceless works of art never be-
fore exhibited in America and which
at the Exposition find sanctuary from
*he ravages of war.

^F^HERE is something helpful and
Inspiring for every oue at the
Exposition. Buld Vice Presi-
dent Marshall recently: “Who-
ever can, even at a sacrifice of some-
thing which for the moment appears
necessary, should come to see a real
work of art never equaled, even by a
mirage, if there be any one in Amer-
ica with a thirst for knowledge and for
beauty and a longing for a liberal edu-
cation, such a oue can obtain It here.
“This is the university of the world.
It liaM a chair fully endowed to meet
the wunta uud needs of each. The eye,
the car, the mind, the heart, the soul,
each may have its horizon here enlarg-
ed. 1 came to bear a message. 1 re-
main to become a student. 1 leave the
feet of this Gamaliel of all expositions
with regret." And Miss Helen Keller,
who, as all know. Is Itoth blind and
deaf, having acquired the faculty of
speech, although she has never heard
any one speak, said of her visit to tile
Exposition that it was the most inspir-
ing period of her life. Said Dr. Fred-
erick J. V. Skiff: “Here the world Is
shown In epitome. The visitor from
w hatever realm here enters into his na-
tive laud.”
Apart from its costly and compre-
hensive displays, the great Exposition
is an inspiration In itself. In Its archi-
tectural beauty the Panama-Pacific In-
ternational Exposition surpasses any
of its predecessors. At night the great
Tower of Jewels stands out sntln-
wlilte, sparkling with a thousand
.changing colors, ns batteries of search-
lights piny upon this pyramidal monu-
ment. the loftiest structure at the Ex-
position and as tall as the average thir-
ty-five story city block. The coloring
of the Exposition, the decorative light-
ing at night, the sculpture and the
landscaping are all the work of the
foremost men in their respective fields.
Now is the time to see the Ex-
position. When you reach San Fran-
cisco you will, of course, wish to
find accommodations without unnec-
essary delay, and, while you will flud
