more than has ever been seen outside
OF the empire. One is astonished to
note, likewise in the section at Man
ufactures building, such amazingly
fine displays of furniture, pianos, brio
a-brac, textile fabrics and artistic
articles for domestic decorations-all
purely of Russian make-as can be
seen here. Fine bronzes and weapons,
made in the government factory at
lula and of distinctively Russian de-
signs and composition, are not less re-
markable than the splendid objects of
malachite (only found in Russian soiD,
lapis lazuli, Crimean marble and Fin
nish porphyry, tourmaline and other
rare and costly material. In silver and
gold ware, in jewelry and in leather
ware, too, Russia shows strength.
taste and originality. The taste NAV
be semi-barbaric, but it has the unde-
niable merit of being SUI generts.
Outside of Manufactures building
and the Fine Arts gallery, Russia, with
here and there slight exception, is
not strong. In Transportation build
ing there are models of vessels. cables,
etc, on view. The Siberian mines are
illustrated in the Mining building. In
horticultural hall there is magnificent
fruit, and the apples, ounces and pears
from the Crimea, for instance, seem to
be revelation to our California fruit
growers. WOLF Won ScHIERBRAND.
