sues, gauzes and gauze costumes;
grapes, tartan and velvets; grena-
dimes, embroideries; and then in the
linens and cottons what variety in
kind, in figure and in colorings. The
fine cloths are mostly hung in glass
cases in such way that fifty or more
pieces, representing as many colors
and shades, can be seen at once. In
wooden goods the variety is perhaps
greater than in all others; many OF
the fabrics are finer, richer and more
costly than are ever seen in the coun-
try town. We ought to mention the
Nottingham and other laces, silk and
linen laces and articles in hose, gloves,
cravatS, etc.
There is remarkable display in the
line of carpetings, new and old. One
small carpet, only by IL feet, of Per-
sian design, has over two million
knots in it, each one said to have been
tied by hand; another one, very old,
of Kurdistan design, that has 1, ,555, 200
knots in it. There are all sorts of mod
ern made carpetings, including the
Administers. The department in
guns, hardware, cutlery and that sort
is large and contains an almost count
less number of articles. Whatever is
said, it is very hard thing to do to
beat the English manufacturer. 1t is
a pleasure to see department so full
of thoroughly-made and honest goods
as is this one.
We shall need long time in the
German section if we see but little
of it in detail. The Germans, with
the exception of our own country,
are the largest exhibitors. In the
building we are now describing, in
part, they have almost thousand
exhibitors, who class their goods as
manufactures, while in the liberal art
exhibitors have displays of goods, etc.,
of innumerable kinds and characters.
When it is remembered that these
Germans have a great building of
their own, that Krupp has a lrage
building of his own, and that every
other Fair building is as we'll filed ac
cordingly, as the one in which the ex-
hibits described, it will be easy to un-
derstand that Germany has an exhi-
bition that would pay a visit to the
Fair.
The pavilion in which the German
articles are shown is one of the largest
and most beautiful in the whole build
ing. 1t was built in Germany and is
the work of Gabriel Sidel of Munich.
1t was set up in the place where it
was made, taken down, boxed, and
shipped to America. The ground
plain suggests three circles in con-
tact. The exterior architecture is
renaissance of the sixteenth century
style. One department is fitted up
specially to show Gobelin tapestries;
another room is fitted up in blue and
gold and is modelled after the recep
ton room in the Imperial Palace; an
other room has some exquisite fres-
co work; another is fashioned after
the conceit of King Ludwig of Bava
ria; and still another room in blue and |
gold is adorned with the life size por-
trait of the German emperor. This is
some of the larger work done to make |
the place attractive, while every ex-
hibiter has exercised his skill and taste
in making this particular spot and dis
play of goods attractive. We will at
tempt no extended detail of what is
shown in this great and wonderful
part of the exhibition, a few things
only will be mentioned. One will be
in the department. of chem
icals, and at the display of co1oring
set up in cases Of glass; in
one the sightseer discovers a cave in
the rocks beside the sea, where stul-
tramarine7' is represented as falling
down from the rocks above upon the
mass of crystallized salt, the deep
blue color making a most beautiful
show on the substance beneath. In
the line of medicine and pharmacuti-
cal products there seems to be no
limit. In paper, book material, in all
that pertains to schools and methods
Of instruction here are much to ex-
cite interest In tools, optical and
surgical instruments there are hun
1reds, which the specialist only knows
now to appreciate. Germany, like
Ill the European countries, has car
led furniture making to a perfection
IF style and beauty almost unknown
n this country. To give little idea
We give what the show in the furni-
.ure line consists, we name wood, mo-
jaics, inlaid furniture, ebony with ivo-
y engravings, diaper work and fancy
