they are not good he will eat them, so
they always try to have his picture,
as they think he looks, near them so
as to keep on good terms: with him.
The next building entered was the
transportation building. Here was
a model of every convenience that has
been used in this country or in any
other. It was very interesting to see
the old conveyances and then see the
modern ones. There was also model
OF the largest engine that is running
IN the world, "The Big Four This
was mounted on a turn-table and was
in full motion.
Great Britain had a very large ex-
hlblt, in the Varied Industry building.
Just as we were inside the door we
saw an engine complete, made of
glass. This was fifteen feet long and
about five feet wide, and was made
in Perth, Scotland. There was a
large furniture exhibit from London,
large marble casts from Winchester
house, London. In one of the build
ings were all of Queen Victoria IS
jewels and presents.
There were saddles trimmed with all
kinds of valuable trimmings from
braid to gold and silver. There were
all kinds of trays, card cases and
jewel boxes, highly tanned leather
from all over the world: diamonds of
all kinds, sizes, shapes and value.
There were rings and bracelets with
stones in them SO bright that it would
make your eyes sore to look any
length of time at them.
Germany had a large exhibit of car
pets, rugs, curtains and draperies.
The Germans also had a good exhibit
of jewelry but it consisted mostly of
set pins. They also had a good deal
of statuary on exhibition and also
many paintings. There was also a lot
OF native wood and lot of pictures
showing how they cultivate their for
ests. There were a good many gold
and silver articles and a goodly
amount of wax images and paintings.
In one part of the exhibit was suite
OF rooms supposed to belong to a
young lady in Berlin. All the furni-
ture in these rooms was made in Ger
many. There was a parlor, kitchen
and reception room and they were
furnished in the greatest style of that
country, Above the bed hung large
crucifix which was about four feet
long, and across from one finger tin
to the other was about three feet.
This was mounted on a highly pol
ished cross.
In the Fine Art building Germany
had large exhibit of paintings and
statuary. One of the finest paintings ]
saw was the death bed of King Will
liam II. The picture showed the en-
porer dying and his family around
him. Several of the sons, who where
at the bedside, were in uniform. The
doctor was standing by the bed with
his watch in his hand awaiting the end
of the emperor. This was very
large planting, about eight by five,
and was very fine work.
While talking of the art it reminds
me of how: a good many people be-
sides myself were fooled. AS we were
walking through one of the buildings
we came to a kind of alleyway, and
looking down it 1 saw what I thought
to be dead goose, (this little alley
was about seven feet long and four
wide). Soon some more people came
along and they got the same idea that
[ had; SO we asked one of the men
who was there if that was real and he
told US that it was painted by a man
in Boston who made a specially of
that kind of work. We had just gone
when some other people came along
and did the same as we had done, SO
the painting must have been pretty
good to fool every one that came
along.
