and destruction to a peaceful city
One of the most magnificent produc

Is the elaborate new attraction just
completed by McKano and Potter the
Galveston Flood lij on artistic white
building of ornamental deign with
handsomely decorntcd foyer the great
mechanical production In given In an
auditorium accommodating 2000 people

Tho wonderful mechanical reproduc

the city U shrouded In dusk Lights
begin to twinkle In the buildIng TIle

night Is soon Illuminated with IU long
shoremen resorts Then the row of
lights along the wharves are lighted
making a bit of realism ao artistic al

In the beautiful effect of the moon i

most artistic effects In the production
Is brought out
In fact throughout the whole pro

twelve stereoptlcons are used
Dawn breaks then the rays of the

Galveston the city hull upon lind
so unprotected from wind and rain Its
highest point not being six feet above

As It approaches noon ominous signs
begin to manifest themselves The sky
darkens Thu lags on the flagstafta
float struggling In the wind The trees
In tho side foreground wave their
branches and bow their heads ills
wind whistles then grows louder Tho
lightning lushes thunder rolls tho
waters of the bay become angry tml

fire breaks out to add Its horror to
the scene There another leaps against

tho town Han descends The waters
become more and more agitated They
lash and beat Then the horrible the
awful hurricane the sea tornado rip
ping up the bay sending It Into a white
seething mass pouring over the wharves
up Into the very town announces the
doom of Galveston
Horrible crashes are heard Before
the waves reach the factories an IIX
ploslon Is heard A dame leaps forth
but soon disappears The roar of the
wind the booming of the water the
crash of buildings Is vivid realism
Tho picture of the waters teeming and
seething In their work of destruction
Is one of the most magnificent leotrlcal
effects ever produced
How the very spirit of the horrible
hurricane con be caugnt by mechani

Havent you heard of the famous
French Voyage or Mediterranean Trip

trip In fifteen minutes cruising the
Mediterranean from llonn France to
Oran Algiers In thn other ypu car
be earned back four yearn and bo made
a witless to one of the greatest dis
asters Unit ever befel an American city
Wonderful things to bo sure but the
two exhibitions are wonderful and for
the reason of their diverse Instructive
and entertaining possibilities The Even
tog World has chosen them as the two
offcrtnKH to give Its news merchants
this week
The tickets are good for any day this
week and the beautiful voyage on the
blue Mediterranean nnd the view of
the Galveston disaster are ready for
Tho Evehlnir Worlds guests
The French voyage or Mediterra
nean trip was chosen for The Evening
Worlds guests on account of Its su
perior Interest and entertainment belns
ns educational and Instructive a trip
iis though the real voyage were taken
The Galveston Flood was secured as a
great picture of an Important hlstorlial
event It Is an attraction that tea les
the story of thoi great disaster gives a
thOj
history of the III fated city and at the
same tlmo Illustrates the wonderful
mastery of mechanical and electrical
problems which science has reached
To tako the French Voyage of course
the gates of Steeplechase Park must
be passed but The Evening World
tickets offered to Its news merchants
not only admit the holder to the great i
French Voyage but are a general ad
mission to the great seaside wonder
land
landWhat Is the French Voyage It Is tho
most exquisite and wonderful stereo
ramie production over exhibited Proof
enough of this Is the fact that It took
tho only prize awarded an amusement
exhibit at the Paris Exposition
Do you want a delightful trip on those
most enchanting of waters tho Medi
terranean Well It can bo enjoyed
wth all realism at Steeplechase Park
First of all the passenger before I
starting on t he French Voyage sees
n big steamship full rigged built equip
ped and launched In the centra of i
Steeplechase Park on one of the bIg la
goons
Just like a real seagoing vessel tho i
ship Is reached by a broad gangplank
from the mainland while the waters
of tho lagoon lap underneath
Once In the boat you look out over
the railing and see In wonderful per
h
spcctlvo effect the coast of France and i
tho blue waters of the bay This Is the
I tart of the trip Don voyage and you
arc off All over the broad decks the
passengers can wander but It U need
i less to nay nil oyps are fastened on toe
I chancing scene Rf careful for ni with i
I the motion of the boat you nee the boat
i and shores glide by you may get nn
sick ito realistic In the effect but there
I Is email danger of this ns the wonder
fiil thirtysix hour voyage only takes
you fourteen mlnut White the ircn
1 tie movement of the stately steamer U
felt and the subdued thud of Its mam
moth machinery the passenger finds
himself entranced by the beautiful pic
I
tures from the boats side
Starting from the port of Dona the
I picturesque French port lies In the arms
1 of the sea softened by the dawn Just
before sunrise Tho green trees the
I houses and buildings nestling on the
pre monMrhi the rocks and hills all
part of the beautiful seaport the ship
I In the harbor all arc softened by the
gray dawn Oradunllv the sun rises and
the whole sea and land Is bathed In tho
I glorious golden light changed from the
first pink tints Into the real June light
As tho ship moves on the emerald green
I
water of the harbor change to the
crested blue of the open sea 1
I rite effect of changing daylight dur
I
beautiful and wonderfully artistic bit ot
realism seen In any mechanical exhlbl
tlon The good ship isen route for AI
tIers nnd the picturesque sea voyage Is
reproduced with a minute dcllcncy de
tail which I s necessary to represent that
Indescribable charm of tho Mediterra
nean
Here you ace a gleam of light that
catch the sail of ao distant ship
Then the broad sunlight strikes full
slant across a mountain
Hero a trador ploughs by her smoke
trailing behind and then In the strong
breeze tho British Mediterranean squad
ron tomes ploughing post
When the ship passes Bougie with
the mountains of Kablln and Cape Car
boy It is supposed to be 10 oclock In
the morning the ship having left Bona
at E A M The sea 13 answering to a
stiffer breeze and the light on the
water deep blue In color sparkles like
diamonds
A shIp passes by and In Its trail fol
lows a porpoise A seadog leaps
In the water and all the details of the
scene are perfect
Over the gulf where the brcezo ap
parently rfpptes for miles the eye
Beemajto look tawan the horizon Tho
perspective Is wonderful C
high noon arrives and with It Al
giers

loot a realm or white struck by the
full flood > f the suns rays Algiers
pictured In Its seaside glory Interesting
irtlstlo nnd wonderful The fishing boat
and sail boats crowd to the wharves
while others nestle close to the broad
high walls of the Oriental elt
On the snip moves and the Frenci
fleet Is seen In manoeuvres In open sea
The torpedo boat Joan of the British
Mediterranean squadron Is passed
Next is passed tho warships Adinn

Ramlllles fit Gcorse Goliath Furhri
and Diadem Th smoke from the stack
ot the vessels forms one of the most
puzzling and realistic bits ot detail In
the entire oroductlon Tho sun Is
changing the lights and shades on the
water In exquisite tints nnd before Oran
18 reached tho broad path of bright sun
Igrit making Its way across the blue
waters announces apnronchlnr sunset
Oran Is reached and the glory of an

I When the passenger look out over
to ships sides at the sea and shore 1
itod with glowing sunlight It Is with
strange feeling of sorrow that the
tvago Is over
When It Is necessary to step out over l i
the gangway Into Steeplechase Park u j
