FACADE OF KENTUCKY's PAVILION.

The geological surveys of the different
states will furnish instructive exhibits of
the mineral resources of the United States,
and the richest collection of mining maps
and models in the world will be open to
public inspection. Briefly it may be said
that the department of mines and mining
will show for the first time complete out
line of the mineral resources of the world
and measure the progress of the art of ex-
tracing and converting the earth's mineral
treasures.
[ Fhe reading foreign countries that will
have space in the department are Germany,
Great Britain, New South Wales, Canada,
Spain, Bolivia, Greece, Orange Free State
Austria, Cuba, France, Russia, Japan, Co
lombia, Argentine Republic, Italy, Venezu-
ella, Brazil, Cape Colony, Holland, Mexico,
Peru, Paraguay, Ecuador, Costa RIGA,
Hayti, Honduras and Chill.
The states and territories that will ex-
hibit are Pennsylvania, New York, North
Carolina, Virginia, Oregon, Georgia, Wyo
ming, Washington. Arizona, Iowa, New
Hampshire, South Carolina, Louisiana,
Texas, Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota, Kan
sas, California, Idaho, Montana, Florida,
Maryland Indiana, Michigan, Missouri,
Wisconsin, South Dakota, Utah, New Mex
leo, Colorado, Maine and Oklahoma.
Some of the paviliOns erected in the build
ing by the different states and territories
will be remarkably attractive, and the
kiosks and pagodas that mark the displays
of foreign countries will create a pleasing
contrast. Cape Colony and Brazil will each
have a magnificent diamond display, illus
trating the treatment of the precious stones
from their collection in the mines to tie
polishing of the finished stones. Brazil
alone expects to treat O,O00 carats of dia-
monds during the exposition.
Kentucky's pavilion will be especially in
teresting and unique. 1t will have facade
of polished coal % feet high and is expected
to be particularly effective by the contrast
afforded by the white marble pavilion of
New York, which will adjoin it. All the
mineral resources of Kentucky will of
course be included in her display, but the
great feature will be the representation in
miniature of the Mammoth cave. A cham
Der so feet by 200 beneath the main floor OF
the building will be'devoted to the repro
ductiOn of the cave, and the resources OF
art and science will be taxed to the utmost
to make the illusion perfect. The negro
guide who has escorted 50 many thousand
visitors through the actual cave will he
brought on to explain the beauties of tie
exhibit.
Michigan's pavilion will be of sandstone
and marble, in the Florentine style of archi-
lecture One feature of it will be ii huge
copper globe II feet in diameter, with an
outline map Of the world etched upon it.
Ohio will build her pavilion entirely OF
the minerals found within her borders, and
it will be a splendid illustration of her re
sources in that respect.
Among the numerous spectacular exhibits
will be silver shaft 80 feet high from New
South Wales Il shaft of anthracite coal 60
feet high from Pennsylvania, a granite pill
lar Is feet high from the richest quarry il
New York, and an opalescent grotto repre-
senting the crystal caves of Central Ameri-
ca, built by the government of Honduras.
