the right of the Germans, got no chance
of doing anything. The American SOL
diers took possession of the temple which
used to be occupied during the summer

pare the specimens of Georgia woods for
the Atlanta Exposition between May
and Sept. 10, 1895. The trees being filled
with sap at the time of the cutting the
specimens show considerable checking,
and, in many cases, the wood has shrunk
from the bark. For this and other reasons
it does not seem desirab to select from
this collection material for wood ex-
hibit. If the matter were properly placed
before the various large lumber companies
in the state each would doubtless be will
ing to contribute something in the way
of polished Georgia woods for such an
exhibit.
The special designs of such specimens
could be indicated at the time, due re-
gard being had for their appearance in
symmetrical collection.
1t is probable that there is not a sys-
tematic collection of the building stones
of any state in the Union equal to the
collection of Georgia building stones in the
state museum. 1t consists of So eight-inch
dressed cubes of granite, gneiss, marble.
sandstone hornblenite, serpentine and
caenstone 81; several large, handsome
polished slabs of marble; a large block of
red sandstone, and a large block of Sparta
granite. For a small sum this collection
could be materially improved
The collection of gold, iron, manganese
and aluminium ores, when properly mount
ed. makes an attractive display; but some
additions should be made to this collec-
tion, which can be done at small cost.
A specially attractive case in the state
museum is that In which the aluminium
ores (bauxite) of Georgia are displayed
with a large number of culinary, toilet
and other articles manufactured from this
ore A specially fine exhibit could be made
of the Georgia clays with articles manu-
featured from them, and at small cost.
The systematic collection of Georgia min
erals installed in six large slope-top plate
glass cases, will compare favorably with
any similar collection in this country.
The special case of gold nuggets and
gems of Georgia in front of the office of
the state geologist would make an attrac-
tive feature for Georgia exhibit II
prdper protection against loss of speci-
mems were assured.
As an additional building stone exhibit
IL is very likely that the marble produc-
ers and finishers would combine in fine
general exhibit such as they made through
the state geologist at the Tennessee Cen
tennial Exposition at Nashville, and
doubtless the monument workers and
granite producers would willingly lend
pieces of cut and polished granite for a
handsome display at these eXpositions.
Material exhibited at the exposition at
Buffalo could be transferred directly TO
Charleston. 1t need not cost a great sum
TO have the material resources of Geor-
eia as handsomely illustrated at these eX-
positions as those of any state in the
Union. At no exposition in the last six
wears has Georgia failed to take first
prize when represented.

GEORGIA EXHIBITS.
state GeolOgist Yeates Writes Upon
the Subject,

(By VIM. 5. Yeates, State Geologist)
The character of an exhibit to represent
Georgia at the eXpositions to be held az
Buffalo, N. Y, and Charleston, S. c..
next year. should be one that would
show the material resources of the state
in such way as to impress upon the
thousands of visitors the remarkable pro-
dgality with which Providence has en-
dowed the state. and such as would sug-
gest to capitalists lines of profitable in
vestment within her territory.
We can not bottle up her delightful eli
mate and thus give to those living in the
cold North personal evidence of our claims
but we can place before them i'm an at.
tractive manner specimens to illustrate
the value of our fields, our forests. our
streams. our quarries and our mines. AL
ready the state has on hand In the state
museum systematic collections of it's ma
terials ores, building stones, woods and
fruits.
The fruits, being of perishable nature.
are gradually decomposing, and Il is hard
ly probable that enough good material
could be selected from this collection to
make a creditable exhibit. II funds were
available the early fruits and vegetables
could be collected next spring and put
up in preserving fluids in the glass con-
tainers bought for the states display at
the Cotton States and International Elk
position. in time for the Pan-American
Exposition az B"~alo. Later on in the
summer further collections OF fruits
gr "s. cotton. etc. could be prepared for
tine Charleston Exposition.
