CENTENNIAL NOTES.

10 the Hungarian department Of the cen.
tennial is a chandelier composed entirely Of
clear and clouded amber and valued at SS,.
000 1t is said to be the most expensive
piece of work of this description in the
world.
The Singer Manufacturing company sent
5000 Of its employees to the centennial ex-
hibition, at an expense Of $4,000.
The narrow gauge cars which have the
Mitmore axles are the favorites with the
thousands who daily ride over this road
They run so much more smoothly and easily
than the old styles, without friction and
without "squealing," as they 40 around
sharp curves, that their popularity with
railroad men, aud with the public, is easily
explained.
OF the Russian exhibit as a whole it is
not extravagant praise to say that it is SUI
perb. The neighboring section Of Germany
is completely eclpsed by it. Indeed, there
is no national department in the main build
ing that makes a stronger impression of rich
ness and beauty | have already spoken in
previous letter of che brilliant display OF
silverware made by the Moscow firms OF
SaEikoff aud 0Vtchnnikoff. There is no AneT
repouSSe work in the whole fair, aud the en-
ameled work is without rival, The forms
Of the objects and the styles Of Ornamental
ion are wholly original. Almost the only
object showing Western ideas is semicrcu.
lar plaque in silver Of the "Last Supper
and its smaller reproductions. Subjects from
Russian life aud history form the staples Of
the bronzes and the silver. On one of the
large silver beakers is represented the entry
of Peter tho Great into Moscow, and oil
another the dance of peasants. A Russian
sledge, drawn by three horses, is u favortC
subject and hunting and military scenes
abound. The squate.laeed, heavy.jawed
broad-shouldered Russian peasant is not {
type that artists would delight in, but thu
Moscow siversmiths appear to have felt il
duty bound TO make the best Of him. lii
and the equally unprepossessing women o
the race, in their ugly costumes, are served
out in every possible variety of Ornamental
work. The enamel work in silver and golC
is exceedingly brilliant, and displays remark
ably fne workmanship. The styles are un
ique and recall Asiatic art far more thar
anything European, Very curious effect
are produced by limitations in white silver o
the Russian napkin with its cOlOred border
which seems to have peculiar national sig
ni6cance. 1t is worked out in such faith
fully minute manner that the threads cal
almost be counted. These napkins some
times form the covers Of punchbowls, an'
sometimes appear as if carelessly spgea'
across fruit dishes and salver. So admir-
able is their workmanship that they nigh
easily be mistaken for real fabrics Of linen

antly aud very beautifully displayed, is the
manufacture Of variety Of ornamental
stones found in the Ural mountains. Mall
achite, jasper, and lapis lazuli are the ma
terials mostly used, but there are also arti-
Giles made Of stones quite unfamiliar in this
country such as Labrador, rhodonite, aud
nephrits. Very lovely are the lunches Of
fruits carved out Of various stones, the nat
ural colors Of the stone reproducing almost
exactly the colors Of the fruits. In this way
raspberries, plums, currants, green-gages, and
grapes are made on paper weights, or set in
the front OF mantes. A large mantel OF
malachite, with mosaic front Of perhaps a
score Of different stones, and ornaments Of
this peculiar fruitwork, is valued at $4,000.
Malachite vases about 81 feet high, each cut
out Of single block Of stone, cost 81 800 q
pair and a smaller size, about l8 inches
high, is valued at $3.50. The malachite and
lapis lazuli tables range in price from 800
to 81 900. There IS a great variety of small
ornaments in malachite, jasper, and lapis
lazuli at very moderate prices. The work
in these stones, as rule, follows French
models, and does not appear to have been
much affected by the recent rage for Musco-
vite art. The fabrics Of cloth of gold and
silver, mingled with silk, and sometimes
richly embroidered in colors, recall the tales
Of Oriental magnidcence. The dress silks,
wooden goods, cottons and the linen fabrics
rival those Of France and England There
is unique and very attractive collection of
garments and table spreads from Circassia

silver threads. The display of furs is much
the finest to be found in the fair. Some
idea Of the beauty of these articles may be
formed from their cost. A little bunch of
sable skins of the finest quality is valued at
S2,4OO; fur cloak made of the backs Of
sable skins is tcketed $1,000, and ladies
cape Of black fox fur is marked 81 400.
Some exquisitely lovely gold jewelry in the
forms of flowers is remarkable for the deli
cate standings of color, varying from the
lightest straw yellow to brownish red, pro.
duced by the application of different degrees
of heat to the plates of gold. A pavilion
Of very graceful form made Of ebony is de-
voted to an exhibit of inda-rubber goods
an American industry naturaized recently
in Russia, which has met with remarkable
success, the product of the single factory
making the exhibit amounting to $4,000
600 year. Some specimens of work in
carved woods come from an industrial school
at st. Petersburg that Is under governmental
patronage. The most noticeable object is a
peasants chair in black walnut, across the
seat Of which lies an imitation of towel
made Of some white wood. The handles are
formed Of hatchets. At the back Of the
seat lie pair of mittens, admirably carved
and in the frame is the characteristic motto
in this Russian language: go slow and
you will go far" which expresses 10 a single
sentence the spirit Of the Slavic race.-COr
