the exhibits which lie massed behind it,
while the day lasts. At every turn some
new form OF beauty will entrance you.
First IL is the royal porcelain works Of Ber-
lin, displaying in attractive style the glor-
ious products of those unrivalled furnaces
Here is a dining room, complete, with
porcelain service and solid gold knives,
forks and spoons. Near by are the Baden
] furniture and terra cottas, already popular
in America. At the left one is delighted
/ with the display Of "A Frankfort-on- Main
firm who are announced as Jewellers to
their majesties the Emperor of Germany
and the Empress Frederick They show
jardiniere center piece in solid silver,
valued at s. 100. The gem of their collec-
tion is the Columbian diamond, Il karats
weight, and nearly an inch in diameter.
It is a blue brilliant of first water, the
same color possessed by the famous Nancy,
Regent and Great Mogul stones. Its value
is placed at Si5,000 and believe it is the
finest diamond to be seen in the exposi-
zion.
Some of the rooms in the pavilion are
magnificent. They are used to show
Gobelin tapestries and the fine, heavy fur
niture for which Germany is justly ia
nous. One room is fitted up in blue and
gold, and, TO a certain extent is modelled
after the reception room of the imperial
palace at Berlin. Another is fashioned
after the conceit of King Ludwig at Mum
ich, and naturally attracts much atten-
tion. Not far away saw piece Of plas-
ter decoration executed by Ludwig's
favorite artist in that line, and a card
which announced that the royal decorator,
having no further business at court for
well understood reasons, would be glad to
fill orders from citizens Of the United
States.
The Germans excel in light iron work.
Their huge gates are only samples Of what
they can do in this line. In hammered
iron and copper they are also adept. adj
wise every visitor to the fair to see the
magnificent display of armor and decOra-
tive iron from the works Of Prince Stol-
berg in the Harz mountains. In lamps, |
g and electric light fixtures the German
pofsistencY in national characteristics is |
marked. Many of these articles 1
are beautiful, though somewhat heavy. |
Much of the space of the German section /
is given up to the products Of the great /
laboratories of the empire. The /
Germans are the greatest chemists in the |
world, and their big houses have here /
united in a display which some people
might think monotOnOus, but which is in
ensely fascinating to anyone who pauses
% reflect that chemistry is at the base Of
learly all industries. Here we see the
wonderful variety of products which the
modern German alchemists have been
ble to extract fromfcoal tar. Any manu-
