' BT DEAN COLLINS.
I passed several eveninscs on the
frrounds of the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion, hoping by good fortune to see the
full force of Its much-talked-of new
lighting system turned on all at once.
Usually my expectations were reward

the system, and one night they tried

interior of the Horticultural Palace

nigni may wi ii -
tarv memories of the bits of that glory
that the electricians allowed on various
evenings, haunting one's memory, that
alone is enough In itself to give one an
overpowering Impulse to come back to
San Francisco after the Exposition is
opened, and get at least one full
glimpse of the glory so forecasted.
, Tower of Jewels OmnlpreMit
r Dominating the main exhibit palaces
and intended to be the dominant note
in the general scheme of illumination
is the Tower of Jewels, which lies di
rectly In front of one coming into the
Baker-street entrance. The Tower of
Jewels is visible from every portion of
the Exposition grounds. One gets
Klimpses of it through arches, between
Hvenuej of buildings, over the roofs of
pavilions, from any point where one
may stop to look, and always in the
sunlight, its hundreds of thousands of
tremulous Jewels are twinkling in the
Funlight. sending out darts of ruby and
emerald and violet and yellow light.
There are. I am told, something like
600 great searchlights planted about
the grounds and on the roofs of build
ings most noticeable among which is
the 'battery of 48 lights on the pier
running out from the California build
ins to Moro Castle, in the yacht harbor:
and the Tower of Jewels is situated
so that its imposing pillars and statues
and its shimmering prismatic jewels
may be the target of scores of these
searchlights. Having seen the glory of
this tower by day, one can still imagine
but faintly what an Aladdin palace it
will become under the blase of the
searchlights.
Ulm re lii-re to Be Iridescent.
Another feature one that I was per
mitted to catch a glimpse of in Its full
plorv is the Horticultural Palace,
which is built almost wholly of glass,
the main dome of which, second to the
Tower of Jewels, is probably the most
htriking feature visible from practical
ly every portion of the ground. Under
neath this dome, within the main por
tion of the building, the engineers have
set a battery of eight searchlights,
equipped to play shafts of various col
ored liKht. from within, upward and
outward on the great bubble of glass.
Our wildest fancies of iridescent soap,
bubbles magnified to infinity would
be required to describe- the dome of
the Horticultural Palace at night, un
der the play of its interior searchlights.
Not only is the Iridescent change of
colors made possible by the search
lights, but the engineers have worked
out many striking and fanciful designs,
and one may suddenly see the great
bubble turn Into the dome of the
beavens. Willi the signs of the iodine
swimming upon it, or may see fantastic
groups of dragon figures gliding about
on its glowing surface.
Indirect System Ised.
Each exhibit palace will be picked
out from within with reflectors that
will send a soft glow of light through
all its windows, and upon each building
from without will fall ihe reflected
wash of light from the long rows of
bonded electroliers that flank each
building. No direct ray of light will
full upon tho eye. but a powerful dif
fused glow from the fixed standards
and from the searchlights upon the
roofs of the ibullding will spread over
all.
I taw the Italian Towers on the south
entrance of the Court of the Four Sea
sons pirked out In the wash of light
from the electroliers that flanked them,
one evening, and from this view was
able to reconstruct tho appearance of
the whole group of Exposition palaces
under light when the Exposition shall
be opened.
The buildings will seem to start out
of the darkness like illuminated trans
parencies, and one looking upon the
Kxpositlon from the hills will see it
lying along the bay like a beautiful,
oftly-colored stereopticou slide.
Fairyland to Br Depleted.
Overland the searchlights will play
vari-colored rays into the sky. like an
surora. Some bombs will be fired into
tie air. and clouds of steam discharged
from engines run at high pressure over
beyond the yacht harbor, and on these
floating billows of smoke and steam,
the searchlights will -direct their rays
In all the colors of the rainbow. There
will be no fireworks of the old fire
and powder kind at the Panama-Pacific
Kxpositlon. but there will be such a
fairyland of color and beauty all about
as no pyrotechnic expert, however clev
er, could hope to achieve.
In this lighting scheme that has been
devised it seems to me that there ex
ists one of the main glories of the
great Exposition and one of the. partic
ular features that will make It utterly
different from every other world's ex
position that has ever been held.

ROAD REVIEWS BUSINESS
Canadian Paciric More Than Dou
bles Wheat Handled in 1904.
A review of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company's business for the
past 10 years shows some astounding
Increases. The wheat tonnago handled,
for example, increased from 69,730,000
bushels in 1904 to 171,962,000 bushels
last year, more than three-quarters of
Canada's total 1914 wheat crop. Flour
shipments increased from 5.010.000 to 8.-
093.000 barrels: lumber from 1.43o.-
758.000 to 3.210,306.000 feet: manufac
tured products from 3.250,000 to 9,619,-
000 tons; miscellaneous freight from
3.894,000 to 9.625,000 tons. As a result
of these Increases in business, Canadian
Pacific's earning power has Increased
by leaps and bounds.
Each year, for the last 10 years, the
company has raised additional working
capital by merely selling the new stock
to its own shareholders. On the in
creased stock 17.3 per cent was earned
In 1911 and 19.6 per cent In 1313 and
1913. For the 13..months ending June
30. 1914. the common stock earned 13.0
per cent, whifh. after paying a 10 per
cent dividend, left a surplus of $10,936,
000 in trm treasury. On June 30, last,
the Canadian Pacific's "profit and loss"
surplus amounted to 79.71 1.09". . In
addition to this, there also was a sur
plus In "other assets of J127.253.783,
making a tidy total of $206,964,875.
equal to more than half of the cost of
building the Panama Canal. This sur
plus and this American transportation
system's record for the past 10 years
should inspire marked confidence.

in the Department of public vvorKS. air.

Inspectors on public improvements, it
is said, are forced to remain at work

pay the overtime.
FLOUR GOES UP 20 CENTS
Wheat Bids Lower Saturday, but
Holders Kefuse to Yield.
A 20-cent advance In flour prices was
announced by Portland millers yester
day as a consequence of the upward
course of the wheat market during the
tweek. The wholesale quotation Is now
16.80 a barrel, or 45 cents a barrel
above the highest price in former years.
The wheat market was quiet at the
close. Owing to the break at Chicago,
bids on the local exchange were 1 to
3 cents lower than on Friday, but
holders of wheat would not give way,
and selling ceased temporarily. During
the week total sales on the Merchants'
Exchange were: 196,000 bushels of
wheat, 900 tons of oats, 500 tons of
barley and 100 tons of feed, of a total
value of S324.9S5.
TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.
, Ton old-time mixture of -Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using It to keep tlleir hair a
good, even color, which is quite sensi
ble, as we are living In an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drugstores sell the .ready-to-use pro
duct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about 60 cents a bot
tle. It Is very popular because no
body can discover It has been applied.
Simply moiBten your comb or a soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after a few applications, tt also
produces that soft lustre and appear
ance of abundance which in so at
tractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair. Adr,
