The main entrance is on the west side, looking down the avenue between the Palaces of Mines and Varied Industries. Per- haps it is better, though, to take a first view of the sculptural decoration at the entrance at either the north or the south end, where almost everything is shown that appears in the more com- plicated main vestibule. The three clerestory windows make three arches with four piers. In front of each pier stands a great Sienna column crowned with one of four symbolic figures, ea...ch, in the strength of the male, emblematic of force. First on the left is "Electricity," grasp- ing the thunderbolt, and standing with one foot on the earth, sig- nifying that electricity is not only in the earth but around it. The man with the lever that starts an engine represents "Steam Power." "Imagination," the power which conceives the thing "Invention" bodies forth, stands with eyes closed; its force comes from within. "Wings on his head suggest the speed of thought. At his feet is the Eagle of Inspiration.
