FROM CHICAGO.
Chicago, Oet. 10th 1898.

facing the north entrance of the Fine
Arts building at the fair, and con-
| tlnulng along oh the shore of
| Lake Michigan, are the buildings of
the different countries of the world
These countries, like the States of
the Union, are represented In nearly
all of the great buildings b1t many
have creditable displays Al these
buildings of their own. Some are
merely bazaars and headquarters
for officials.
Brazil has one of the finest appears
ing structures. 1t is pure white and
has large dome which makes it re
semble our styles of Capitol build
ings. Within there is a little hot
coffee. A few pictures hang npon
the walls and some relics are there
but the whole thing is summed up in
the name of the bean for
the beverage which is more saw
DRY than wholesome. Further down
are the buildings of Guatemala, Col
umbia, Turkey, India, Sweden, Ger
many, Ceylon and other Govern
ments. Colombia and Guatemala
are much like Brazil. Turkey and
India have simply larger editions of
displays, which they have every
where. Everything exhibited is for
sale, but to an admirer of Oriental
stuffs, jewelry and woods, these ba-
zaars are a source of never failing in
terest. In lndia's building two very
learned Indian scholars abb lie. One
is high priest in the faith of Bud
dha; the other is missionary and
of religion more ancient
than any other known, that of We
das. Its principals are broader,
purer, more logical and scientific
than y which 1 have ever heard
discussed. I predict for the APPEAL
(as you sometimes pose for propheD
that the Nedic Society in America
will grow and flourish in a most
startling manner. The East Indian
is learned in English,
Arabic, and Sanscrit; he is calm,
digniied and courteous; he Is posi-
lively handsome in appearance, Is
more required to make con
verts among an enlightened peo-
pie!
Ceylon's building is a bower of ell
chanting and fascinating curios.
The door posts and steps outside are
curiously and skillfully carved and
inside the carvings in mahogany,
rosewood and ivory fairly overflow
the place. Many cases are filled
with jewelry of great value. Pure
gold and faultless diamonds wrought
in the fantastic designs of native
workmen make ornaments that fairly
dazzle the eyes. A hord of women
hang about, coveting the baubles
from morning until night. There
are many tusks of ivory there aud
countless carvings in thai material,
The Royal elephant is the predomin-
ating design, his image being carved
from his own teeth in every size and
position.
Germany again distinguishes her
self in her building. 1t is a repro
duch5n of some highly ornamented
edIfce of am ancient style Of archltec
ure. Nothing on the grounCs is
more picturesque. Inside, except
for some matchless tile work and
painting, the exhibit is rather un-
varied. 1t consists chiefly of dis
play Of the engravings and litho-
graphs i'll which the people are never
excelled and rarely equalled, and
many publications upon scientific
subjects. The printed pictures are
reproductions of masterpieces of
every nation and of every age. The
work Is, of course done III the height
Of the printers art. To one who
has an abundance of time, no one ex>
hibit offers greater attractions than
this one in the German building.
France is nothing if not original |
oud peculiar. In her building is an
exhibit from the department of po-
ice, Choice pictures from her |
-oeucs gallery, are grouped where |
similar facial characteristics may be |
Instruments for physio-
ogical measurements are shown with |
and tables. They seem
o have reduced the thing to aprecise |
