gelher Fine arts applied to industry" is q
comprehensive term, and the exhibitors of the
numerous articles for which French manuiac
turers are celebrated have accepted 1t in Its
widest sense. This years show is specially
devoted to the branches Of industry connected
with the working Of metals, but apparently no
restriction has been placed on the entry Of 9th
er specimens Of French taste and skill. Every
kind Of artIstlcallytreated metal, from cast
iron to the finest gold, Is exhibited to the best
advantage, while the sundry articles belong
ing to other categores range from historically
clad dolls TO marble chimney-peces. In fact,
the whole display is not unlike the French
section at any universal exhibition on n re-
duced scale, the comparison beng the more
applicable, in as much as the present show
was not nearly ready on the opening day, and
Is now, though the doors were thrown open To
the public on Saturday, far from being com
piete. The various metal industries repre-.
sented do infinite credit to their exhibitors,
The specimens Of heavy iron works being high
y artistic. Excellent copies of ornate med-
avail gates. lanterns, locks and CRATES abound,
and one stand particularly noticed, on which
every article but for the absence of rust and
Tie marks Of time, might have been taken
from some fifteenth century baronia chateau
An art apparently forgotten that of artistic
locksmlth's work, has been revived IN all its
quaint originality, and is here represented by
many beautiful specimens. Imitation bronzes
abound hut are seen at some disadvantage IN

hiDits is stand OF chimney pieces, vases,

ing all the soft appearance OF porphyry, but OF

A new industry, the manufacture of articles de

some elegant artistic cabinets and mirror
frames inlaid With silver, which blends ex.
tremely well with the gray and white tubes of
the skin. Surely this is an industry which
ought to be encouraged, if for no other reason
