Additional Details:
The beauty of the night lighting during the New York World's Fair is suggested in this striking phontograph taken during a night test. It shows the trees, illuminated by hidden capillary mercury tubes, and the 90-foot high Heinz dome, bathed in indirect flourescent tube lighing - all reflected in a pool in Consitution Mall. Buildings at the Fair take on a brightness and color from these new sources of light, as a climax to the Cosmic Ray opening night spectacle at the Trylon and Perisphere
