TRAVELLERS INTERNATIONAL
EXHIBITION.

EXHIBITION.
There is travellers international
exhibit now in progress in Berlin
some idea of which is conveyed in
the following letter to Continental
Correspondence
Happily there is no systematic
plan of division for this show of at.
tractive scenery and popular life.
Even the Berlin firms who contrib
uted most of their manufactures have
spared us those tiresome rows OF
specimens in glass cases. One pt
them reproduced a polar region and
enlivened it with the ship carrying
duplicate of Lieutenant Filchner's
Antarctic expedition, so that we see
at once what is needed for such an
enterprise of travelling in those inhos-
pitable cold quarters. A clothiers
firm built up the promenade deck OF
some transatlantic steamer and filled
it with passengers wearing fashion
able dress or sporting suits.
"Of the foreign countries Austria
Hungary has done most to make her
pavalion attractive. We see the ma
tional costumes of all the nationa.i-
ties united in this mighty empire
from the Tyrol to Bosnia and from
Bohemia to Pennsylvania. Every
where the landscapes show us the
surroundings of these figures and
houses. On the other hand Switzer-
land, that is the European FL Dorado
of travellers, shows almost nothing
but photos of her mountainous seen
cry. But these prints are the delight
of every photographers heart. No
amateur could think of rivaling them.
The Netherlands have not yet com
pleted their models of an old Dutch
port and of a Jayanese landscape with
8 tropical vegetation. All the more
elaborate are the exhibits of the
Scandinavian countries. They evi.
IDENTIFY used the opportunity for COM
peting in attracting travellers to theig
shores. Most complete is the collec-
ton of products shown in the depart
ment of FINLAND. These are sport
ing articles, textile fabrics, ceramic
objects of the native population
pleasantly distributed over the room
showing the fine scenery to be met
there. With Denmark we are not 81
well satisfied. A great deal too much
and the dioramic views of the castle
of Kronberg and of the passage from
Warnemunde to Gjedser might have
been more realistic. In this respect
the Swedes have distinguished them
selves most. Especially the view "
Stockholm in summer and of a north
ern landscape in winter with the ap
propriate typical figures of the popu
lation are most impressive. NORWAY
shows the wide Panorama Of Mold.

all the snuggishness of old tradtio'

fishing utensils there is a large va
riety.
Almost innumerable are the Ger
man landscapes brought wildly be
fore the spectator. The chalk elm

We may look at from the old-fash
