A little Hoofalocjer Sees Insld Working Of Fair Exhibits By JACK BURROUGHS There are enouah secret rinnr sliding panels and hidden passages on Treasure island to stock a dozen mystery stories. Back of those doors and eanels and In the eerie ilentha of those hidden passages are to be louno tne true "innards" of the Exposition's animated dioramas and mechanized displays.

In today's hoofalog, which took me through Vacationland, a certain door in the Petroleum Exhibitors' section was opened and I was initiated into the Mystery of thePer-petually Ascending Bubbles. I hsve been petroleum-conscious to an unnrecedented derrM rinrlna the past few days, a condition of mina Drought about by advance notices on Petroleum Dsy, to be celebrated at the Kvrvum -grvHHwaa. aaaj Sunday. BUBBLES EXPLAINED For months I have hn by those oil bubbles that rise In never-eneanf series in tall class tubes only to be Uuiri nothingness when thev reach th top. Today I demanded to.

know wnere tnose bubbles came from and where they went to. So a member of the exhibit staff onenerf in the pedestal under one of the tuDes ana I peeked in. Instead of a little man with a hl ri saw a bewildering array of metal Dipes ana vaivea anil a flat ifni. ing disk with panes of colored glass in it I was still nrettv much In the 1arV until ine conjureman who opened the door for me exnlaineri tha i.im From a com Dressed air tanV tha air is released into tha lower end of the glass tube in email quantities by means of a valve operated by an electrically controlled clock When forced into the tube the air expands, forming the bubble, which rises to the surface of the oil-filled tube. The changing cnlnra nf tha bubbles are produced by a strong light shining through the variously colored glasses in the revolving disk at the bottom of the tube Another snectacular feature nf tha petroleum exhibit is the oil falls-miniature Niagaras of oil instead of water, NEW KIND OF TREE One of the most curious Items, or so lt seems to me, is the "Christmas Tree," a strange looking arrange ment of valves somewhat resembling a tree In its general' A placard attached to the "Christmas Tree" sets forth its nature and purpose as follows: "An assembly of high pressure valves and fittlnps Installed at tha surface outlet of flowing oil wells.

It connects well casing and tubing to pipe lines and Is designed to control fissures, prevent blowouts and regulate the flow of gas and oil. Installed before a well is brought In, It does away with both waste and hazards, common in the oil fields before the day of the Christmas Tree." Having been a figurative fifth wheel on occasion I was especially interested in the literal variety of fifth wheel shown in the petroleum exhibit. It Is a bicycle wheel attached to the rear of an automobile. Its label proclaimed it to be a device for accurately measuring speed and acceleration, during road testing of gasoline. SEES NEW WONDERS I also saw and heard a demonstra tion-lecture in which a friction-testing machine, a cloud and pour apparatus, glass bearings, a colorimeter, a hydrometer, an oil film pressure distribution machine, an oil stability machine, a dragometer, a vlscosimeter, a bloek and cylinder extreme pressure lubricant testing machine and other fearful and won derful devices filled my unmechani- cal soul with awe.

Then I saw the knock indicator test for gasoline demonstrated, after which I saw the continual circulation of the petrol eum dollar illustrated by a silver dollar spinning endlessly in a glass dish, and by that timo I wgsMoo dizzy to cope with any more marvels for a while. I am going back In a day or two. I have to assimilate my wonders on the installment plan a few wonders down and the rest by easy degrees. Six Hurt in Roil Crash PHILADELPHIA, Oct.
