AN EIGHT-MILE EXHIBITION
Girls and boys from all over America will come out to play when Chicago’s Century of Progress Exhibition is opened. Grown-ups, too, will make holiday if it is only to explore the marvellous £IOO,OOO relief model of the United States, which will be on a scale so vast that toy trains will be used to take visitors round it.
Near the shore of Lake Michigan a chain of islands made by man will form the eight-mile site of the exhibition. One foot to the mile will be the scale of the model of Uncle Sam’s country, and a whole island, 3,000 feet long and 1,500 feet wide, will be used for it.
Glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, waterfalls will be reproduced. The Gre*t Lakes will be of real water, and every river will flow. Inside the Sierras and the Rockies there will be rooms in which the geological structure of the mountains and the working of The mines ch.n be studied.
