GEOLOGICAL INDUSTRIAL
EXHIBIT.
Maryland's Display at the
Charleston Exposition Now
on Display in Baltimore.

Maryland's geological indus
trial exhibit at the Charleston
Exposition has been brought back
to Baltimore and is now on exhi.
bition. AS announced some time
ago, the exhibit was distinguished
at Charleston by % awards, II of
which were gold medals of the
first class. 1t was prepared for
the Maryland Commissioners by
the Maryland Geological Survey
under the direction of Prof. Will
liam Bullock Clark, the State
Geologist. He decided to reinstal
it in Baltimore for two reasons.
1t had been suggested to him in
view of the instructive and stimu
lating nature of the display that
it would be we'll to place it where
more of the residents of the State
might see it than the comparative
few who were able to at Charles
ton. With the approach of the
great Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, to be held in St. Louis,
where the competition between
the States for general recognition
will be much sharper than it was
at Buffalo or Charleston, it is con-
sidered that Maryland might be
very much more effectively rep
resented there if the nucleus of
her future exhibit were set up in
order that additions and improve
ments might be Systematically
made to it.
To serve these two purposes the
Johns Hopkins University made
some sacrifice to let the director
of the Geological Survey have the
corridor and two large rooms in
its Howard street building. There
the exhibit was opened to the pub
lie on last Monday. 1t cannot, of
course, be seen to such advantage
as in its more spacious quarters
down South. Nevertheless, its
main features are fully reproduced
and it affords an excellent and
instructive idea of the resources
of the State, the way in which
these have been developed, and
paths to further development of
the same sort. 1t may be said in
brief that the exhibit embraces a
comprehensive series of the lead
ing raw and manufactured pro.
ducts that come from the mines,
quarries and pits of the State, in
GLIDING the Goals, building and
decorative stones, slate, brick,
tile, and pottery clays, hints
building and moulding sands
mineral paints, silica, kaolin, iron
ores, cement rocks, limestones,
marls and other natural substance
as we'll as the various types o
pottery, tile, fire. brick, building
and enameled brick, terra colt;
and other articles manufactured
from them. The special value o
seeing these in this way is til,
greater appreciation of their re
lations to each other which ma!
thus be formed.
A systematic geological collec
ton in the corridor represents al
the f0rma tions of the State ant
shows the plant and animal fos
sils characteristic of each through
out the great range for which
Maryland is remarkable. Man.
manufacturing processes and lane
scenes are illustrated by pictures
maps and transparencies.
Governor Smith and Comptrol
Ter Herring saw the exhibit las
Friday, after the meeting of thu
! State Geological Commission, anC
both expressed their satisfaction
with it in its new place. The
rooms where it stands will b.
open each day from nine O'Clock
until five ION Saturday until three
throughout the winter and spring
DR.. Clark, through this paper, in
