CASCADES TO GLOW
WITH MERCURY VAPOR
Luminous Effect of Falling Water
at World's Fair Will Be
Unprecedented.
DISCOVERY BY CHIEF RUSTIN.
Suffusions of Mere Vivid Shades
Will Not Dim the Bril
liancy of the Latest
Illumination.
Out of the laboratory of Henry Rustln,
Chief of Electrical Design, comes the as
surance that the light effects of the World's
Fair will surpass his achievements at the
Pan-American Exposition.
The latest development of electrical sci
ence is being made to jield its spectacular
secrets. Mercury vapor, highly charged with
electricity, will be absorbed by the cascades
until the leaping spray becomes an opales
cent liquid Are.
Amythyst shadows creeping from the base
of the classic Cascade Gardens will suffuse
the whole terraced picture, jet through this
glow of illumination the opal Are of the
running cataract will shine undimmed by
other colors.
Searchlights of orange and cardinal blue,
powerful in their intense glare, will pierce
the softer shades of amethyst and cerulean.

4ka( Hiti.3 miIav nnA Anfllnna n4 Va T?ar?-. '
tival Hall, the peristyle and the pagodas on
the Terrace of States, set in thousands of
incandescents, will fade in the bath of
kaleidoscopic hues.
Experiments with the mercury vapor
lamp, known as the Copper-Hewitt, are the
most curious that Chief Rustln is conduct
ing. The lamp somewhat resembles the
classic Gelsler tubes used in school labora
tories for illustrating the power of the
Ruhmkorft induction coil. The light is be
lieved to be a succession of small arcs, such
as those used in the big arc lamps. These
arcs are believed to run between the par
ticles of the mercury vapor on the same
principle as the arc on the common lamp of
that variety runs between the carbon elec
trodes. When introduced Into running water, the
molecules of light are picked up by tho
molecules of water In such a way tHat tho
liquid appears to be a mass of Iridescent
heat. The effect is weird. It is a livid
phosphorescence which Imparts a ghostly
pallor to surrounding objects. Daylight
colors are metamorphosed. Red becomes
green; other shades of the same color be
come bright yellows, others an Intense li
lac Add to these strange effects the phosphor,
ous glow, completely excelling In bright
ness the incandescent lamp and approaching
the arc light without blinding the eyes, and
the result may be imagined.
With the mercury vapor lamp, experi
ments by Chief Rustln show that an enor
mous electrical pressure is necessary to pro
duce the luminous effect. An initial pres
sure of between 50,000 and 73.000 volts is
needed to start the light. When the light
Is started a pressure of 120 volts, a very
ordinary pressure, suffices to maintain Its
luminosity.
Chief Rustln's attention for the present
is given principally to the night aspects of
the great main picture of the Exposition.
Lighting here must be economic, as well
as decorative. UlumlnaUng the avenues and
buildings so thai the exhibits stand out in
their proper values, as it must produce
where possible entirely different effects
from those produced by day.
Mr. Rustln is considering the Nernst lamp
for the ornamental lamoposts which will
fringe the grand basin. This lamp uses the
Incandescence of a secret composition.
Experiments with other vapors than that
of mercury are being made. It is desired
to use In the cascades some phosphorescence
that will not only be luminous itself, but
impart luminosity to the water It perme
ates. Chief Rustin believes that he ha
found the required agent In the Geisler tube
adaptation. These long tubes can be in
stalled in the lips of the cascade ledges and
the light coming through the turbulent wa
ter Is expected to produce entirely unprece
dented and spectacular effects.
COINS WILL COST THREE DOLLARS.
Exposition Company Offers for Sale
First Fifty Thousand Souvenirs.
The World's Fair management has decid
ed to offer for sale at the price of $3 each
60.000 souvenir gold dollars, of which num
ber 15,000 bear the head of McKinley and a
like number the head of Jefferson. Subscript
tions will be received by national banks and
trust companies of the country until De
cember 15. 1902, when the coins will be ready
for delivery.
These coins are to be Issued by the Sec
retary of the Treasury under authority of
an act of Congress, approved June 28, 1902.
The Issue is limited to $250,000. of which
$125,000 will bear the head of Thomas Jef
ferson and $125,000 the headof William Mc
Kinley. The medallion of the head and the
words. "United States of America." will
appear on one side of the coin; on the other
side will appear "One Dollar" and the two
dates, '1503-1903," and the words, "Louis
iana Purchase Exposition," around the
words "One Dollar," in place of the custo
mary wreath.
On the recommendation of the special
committee, which has prepared the plan, a
circular letter containing the information
already given will be sent out to the va
rious banks and trust companies, with sub
scription blanks inclosed. No coins of the
issue will be placed' on sale at a lower
figure. The first 100 coins of each desisra
minted will be carefully numbered, pre

MR, CLARK'S
ENDORSEMENT
Will Doubtless Have Strong Influ
. ence in the Right Direction.
Of particular Interest at this time is the
publication of an Interview with Mr. W. H.
Clark, a brother of Secretary of State
George A. Clark, of Topeka, Kansas, in
whose orace he Is employed. In the course
of the Interview Mr. Clirk said:
TAlong In 1S90 I was living in Junction
t.ity, .Kansas, and working at my trade of
printer on the Hepubllcan. I had a bad at
tack of rheumatism and could not seem to
get over it. All sorts of medicines failed to
uu uij any eooa ana my trouble kept get
ting worse. My feet were so swollen that
I could notwear shoes and I had to go on
crutches. The pain was terrible.
...iJe day,3 was "Mine the type of on
article for the paper "!?ag-what Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had done
for a man afflicted as I was and I was so
impressed with it that I determined to give
tile medicine a trial. For a year my rheu
matlsm had been growing worse, but after
taking Dr. Williams' PlnkTPilU a short time
I began to Improve. I bought four boxes In
all. but I did not need to finish the last one.
Before the last box was half taken the pain
and the swelling had all disappeared. That
was ten years ago. and rheumatism has
never troubled me since. I'am 46. years old
now; I weigh 191 pounds and can truthfully
jay that I haven't felt better in the past
t1?n,Jrars than ! do right now."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
go directly to the seat of the disorder,
purifying and enriching the blood by elim
iP'v.ns poisonous elements and renewing
health-giving forces. They are a positive
specific! not only for rheumatism, but for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, et. Vltus's dance, sciatica; neu-

minor details In connection with the Gov
ernment display.
Mr. Hills, chairman of the Committee on
Allotments and Space, speaking of the sub
jects to come before the board, said he
doubted whether a Government building of
the proposed dimensions could be erected
and put into order for the Installation of
the various exhibits for the amount appro
priated by Congress.
Supervising Architect Taylor does not
acquiesce In this opinion. He says there is
no reason why a building of the design and
size selected could not be built within the
JIM.OOO appropriation. Ho added:
"We have let tho plaster model contract
for $9,929; the structural steel work for $102.
70, and If the lowest bid for the completion
of the building is accepted, which Is $268,980,
it will be seen that the total of the con
tracts let will be $381,477, leaving a balance
of $C8,52L With this comfortable sum I
think we can make all Improvements and
alterations which may be necessary."
MRS. ni..VIIt TO BE D1MJU.
Occasion Incidental to Meeting
of
Lady Mnnasers In ew York.
Mrs. John Miller Horton of Buffalo, a
member of the Board of Lady Managers of
the World's Fair, has Issued Invitations for
a luncheon to be given at Sherry's. New
York City, next Tuesday, in honor of Mrs.
James L. Blair. President of the Board of
Lady Managers
The board will be the guests of Miss
Helen Gould, on the preceding day, when
the second meeting of the ladles will take
place. Matters of Importance to come be
fore the board are the report of Mrs.
Blair as to the action of the Exposition
resolution providing for a moral Midway,
Company with reference to Miss Gould's
the manner of building which the women
intend to erect on the World's Fair grounds
and the adoption of a code of rules to guide
tho relations of the board with the Exposi
tion Company and the National World's Fair
Commission.
Perhaps the most vital problem with
which the ladles will deal Is that of a fund
to carry on the work of the board. It ha"
been intimated that Congress will be asked
to grant the board a special fund to prose
cute Us part of the Exposition prcror.i
tlon. Recently the Comptroller of the United
States Treasury decided that the expenses
Incurred by the board would have to come
out of the allowance made for the National
Commission, but some objection has been
made by the commission.
LIPTOX GIVES THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Contribution Toward Project for
Irish Hnlldlnc at World's Fair.
Sir Thomas Lipton has contributed $1,000
to the fund for a proposed Irish building at
the World's Fair.. The donation Is in re
sponse to a letter written to the famous
yachting Baronet by James A. Reardon of
St. Louis, a member of the Irish National
World's Fair Association, who has a per

Wisconsin Wants the World's Fair
Appropriation Doubled.
RBPUDLIC SPECIAL.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 11. At a largely at
tended meeting of the Merchants' and Man
ufacturers' Association to-night action was
taken looking toward the securing of a
larger appropriation for the Badger States'

sociation to take some action. The associa
tion, at a meeting to be held next week,
will formally adopt resolutions calling upon
the Legislature to double the appropriation
hitherto made for this purpose.

AUTO DRIVERS FORM UNION.
Said to Be the First in the United
States.
A chauffeur's union was organized at the
sheds of the Interstate Transit Company In
East St. Louis Monday night by David
Krcgllng of St. Louis. The union will be
affiliated with the American Federation of
Labor. J. W. Johnson was elected presi
dent and C. E. Ketcham, secretary and
treasurer.
This is said to be the first union of the
kind In the United States. The use of so
many automobiles on the bridge has neces
sitated the employment of a large number
of chauffeurs, and given Impetus to the or
ganization of tne union.
Another meeting of the union will be held
soon, at which the constitution and by-laws
will be acted upon and probably a scale of
wages arranged.

Pacific Files Denial to Com
plaint of Washington.
The General Managers' Committee of the
Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis
met in the office of W. S. McChesney, Jr.,
general manager, yesterday, and decided to
start the work of constructing a baggage
subway under the train-shed tracks at once.
This subway will be about 11 feet deep
and will extend from Eighteenth street
to Twentieth street on a line with Clark
avenue. Baggage and express wagons will
enter at Eighteenth street and have an exit
at Twentieth street. The subway will not
be open to the public, but private. All bag
gage trucking will be dene under the tracks
of the tralnshed, relieving the present con
gestion and danger and loss of time in han
dling the baggage over the thirty or more
trainshed tracks.
The subway will be sixty feet wide. Ele
vators will be run from the subway up to
each of the long platforms between the
train Rhed tracks, and baggage will bo
raised and lowered via the elevators and
trucked below and above to the baggage
rooms and the baggage cars respectively.
The General Managers' Committee alto
decided to call tor bids for the work of
constructing a new roundhouse, which will
bo much larger than the present house, in
St. Louis; to enlarge the East S'de snaps
and add many hundred" of tracks to the
jards on each ride of the river; to remove
the express offices to Terminal property on
tho west of the train shed tracks at th?
Union Station; to build a new power-house
and to install a new interlocking plant.
Another meeting was set for December 1,
when other improvements will be taken up.
THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE
FROM PARIS TO PEKIN.
Foreiirn Rallnrny Magnates Arranging
Direct Connections for Trip
Around World.
REPUBLIC SrECIAU
Washington, Nov. 11. Thcrnwell Haynes,
consul at Rouen, France, writes to tho
State Department that representatives of
French, Belgian, Dutch, German, Austrian
and English railways met recently in Paris
to perfect arrangements for a regular
through train service from Paris to Pekln.
It was shown at this meeting that the
trip could be made by way of St. Pete.-s-burg
and Siberia In eighteen or nlnsteen
days, while the sea route, either by the
Suez Canal or the Atlantic and Vancouver,
requires from thirty-two to thirty-three
days.
All that seems necessary at present is an
agreement of time-table connections and tho
selection of cities in which through tickets
may be purchased. It is said that thrown
tickets will be delivered at both Havre and
Cherbourg, and trans-Atlantic companies
will be able to state before boats leave New
York whether connection will be made with
through trains to the Orient. The tame ar
rangement will be made for the dally ser
vice between Southampton and Paris.
It was also decided at the recent meet
ing to form a combination with the Trans
American railroads and trans-Pacllic lines,
so that round-trip tickets from New York
to Pekln could be sold at the former city,
with the privilege of going bv the Pacific
and returning by the trans-Siberian route
or vice versa.
The time required from New York by
either route Is about the same. The es
timate is made that with close connections
this would permit of the round-the-world
trip in forty-eight to fifty dajs.

AIIV.UCE IX WAGES AXD RATES.
Officials State That Increnne in For
mer Follows Reduction in Latter.
Railroad officials, who state that a gen
eral raise in the wages of the switchmen
will follow a concession at Chicago, are not
sure that it will be possible to advance the
freight rates.
They say that about CO per cent of the
operating expenses goes to the employes,
that an average of ten per cent in increases
has been made by many SJ stems In the last
year without an advance, and in many com
modities with reductions, in the rates, and
that net earnings will surely show a seri
ous reduction unless the prosperity of the
country remains where It has been for the
past j ear.
Gross earnings hae Increased, operating
expenses hae increased In the past year, but
the leading railroads of the country almost
invariably have shown larger profits than
for j ears. The new economy In railroading,
however, officials state, has been offset by
the ndance in the cost of material. The
employes Etato that thev hae arguments
to present, which will offset the statements
adanccd by the railroads.
isut, as naa been siaieu in iw j.epuDiic,
both the officials and the employes in St.
Louis say that conservatism will prevail
and that there is no danger of a strike.
The present scale of wages paid to switch
men in St. Louis is as follows: Day switch
men. 23 cents an hour, or $2.50 a day of
ten hours, day foremen, 27 cents an hour,
or $2.70 a day of ten hours; night switch
men, the same as day foremen; night fore
men, 29 cents an hour, or $2.90 a day of ten
hours. The switchmen ak: An increase of
5 cents an hour, making for the day of ten
hours, the day switchmen's pay 30 cents an
hour, or $3; the day foremen s pay. 32 cents
an hour, or $3 20 a day; tho night switch
men's pay the same as the day foremen's;
the night foremen, 34 cents an hour, or
$3.40 i day.

MORE RAILROAD IllILDI.NGS.
Headquarters Are Cramped and Xepro
tlutloas for Chaoses Arc Reported. ,
Besides the negotiations by the Frisco for
a new building, to be occupied exclusively
by it for railroad offices, it Is very likely
that when the now addition to the Chemical
building Is completed several railroads will
remove from present .headquarters and oc
cupy offices In it. f
The railroads are centering their head
quarters, and Increasing the floor space
used for railroad office purposes in St. Louis
every few dafc. Almost all the railroads
have been renting or leasing additional offi
ces, and one new building of three hundred
rooms is tinder construction. It has been
reported that both the Frisco and the Roc!i
Island would build In St. Louis. There has
been no official confirmation of either re
port, but it is probable that the Frisco will
soon occupy a new building of its own.
The road is cramped in its present effices.
The Eastern systems are locating more of
ficials in St. Louis, and it is necessary for
them to secure more offices. All of the of
fice buildings are crowded, and tliere are
reports of negotiations for new railroad
buildings every day, which, however, re
ceive no definite official confirmation.
