The frontage to this section fchows the reproduction on a colossal scale of the Copenhagen municipal crest, the three towers, with their red flag- embellishing the whole. Outside on the walls forming the section they have pood paintintrs. showing scenery from IK-nmark and from the lani-.h colonies in Iceland. Greenland and tiie West Indies. They, ton, have brought over, under proper jrunrantee, the "Flatey IVxi," the Icelandic manu script bearing- sti-ony evidence that Danes or descendants of Danes wore the Vikings who first di-overod Amer ica. This alone is a precious exhibit, worth the exhibits from many a larger country. Close to the main entrance to this section is an exact reproduction of the study in which Andcr.sen. the iua;-tcr of fairy tales, lived and died. bst of the objects and the furniture shown ire the genuine ones, even unto the umbrella of the poet and the fin screen, pasted all over with thousands of small newspaper illustrations which Andersen brought back from his trav fls ahrcaiL Thorwaldsen, the gre:it sculptor, is seen on the opposite side, partly by photographic reproductions of his last creations and partly by pic tures of himself. The chief exhibits which Denmark shows are terra eotta, gold ami silver objects of art. ehinaware and fine fur niture. The beautiful things fashioned in terra cotta were sent by four firms, of which those of Ipsen's Widow, all masterpieces in their way, are the best made in the world. The other three firms have sent goods that lire much inferior, but even they are still superior to the best F-ngli-.h terra cotta. Most of the terra eotta is polychrome, but there is, too, black terra cotta ap proximating the effect of bronze and pieces which show but one or two colors. Perhaps the liuest piece on view is a reproduction of Thorwal.l son's famous marble frieze illustrat ing the conquering tour of Alexandria the Great. Nearly all this terra eotta portrays, in shape as well as in pic torial decorations, classic art. Vet nothing is imitated, but every pic ture, every form is the creation of a lanish artist, inspired, however, by the study of the ancients Egyptians. Assyrians, tlreeks and Romans and nearly all the subjects, too, are tahea froai mythology or ancient history. The extreme fineness of the grain ia all this terra cotta is. cf course, due to the unexcelled quality of the Iai).:-u clay, hut the skill with which the glazing and the burning have been done is solely a matter of experience and j.Tcat care, while the designs speak very highly of Ian:sh art inspiration. The exhibit in china and porcelain ;s extensive and tine, there being no t'.onhtcfc in it. Most of the objects be long to table use, there being compara tively little in vases anil other pnrvjy ornamental forms. The spirit of the ancient North breathes in nearly all the artistic pr.v duoii.ms in silversiuithing arid gild which Denmark sh c.vs u-v The iiml i:ig. not many years a;o, of ancient jewelry in graves of the Vikings of -v:t ami even S.WiU years airo, fur i.ished their descendants of to-day with welcome "motifs." and thns e see choice samples of the hardy Nortii ir.Ln's "drikkehorn" (drinhing horni. of am.let-s. of brooches and breastpins, of bracelets and diadems anil other K-.ublos for which those warriors used to shed their hinod.

Tiiis piece is l valued at 13.000. There is al.-o Cno I table plate of silver, fashioned ia the j-tyle ttt the ancient north, and an as jsortmeut of pretty enameled jewelry, but this is inferior to Jhat shown by Kussia. In furniture Denmark shows us solid things tables anj chairs and settees and sideboards that will wear for agev. handsomely carved out ofstrougouk or w alnut or birch.

Some of them, like "Hussars on the Com mon," bv Otto Bache; "Susanna in the Hath." by L. K. Tuxen; "In a Brown Study," by Anna Anchcr, and others, are really fine. The Norw-cUftO Fxhlt"' Now, what shall I say about Nor way? Hie has erected, just like Swe den, a building- of her own highly characteristic, too. And she has a fine Kite in Manufactures building, but as far as the exhibits ere concerned and the setting for those exhibits, they are the jKK.rest at the whole fair. There is a bit of je welry work silver filijrree and enameled work, closely copied from the Kussian. but inferior; there tre some models of boats and all sorts of vessel appliances, etc., showing- that the country depends on the sea for a livinrr; there are also a few types (in wwKi) of the Norwepian folk- But ..he whole together is a disappoint ment.

Woi.f Vox Sciuf.uerano. COLUMGUS IN SILVER. One of the Karest ork of Art at the World l air. Amor.? the most remarkable exhibits at the World's Columbian exposition is the silver statue of Coiumlius, which depicts the hero in his most important r"le. The figure is designed and mod eled by Barthohli. the contemporary French sculptor, who is so well and fa vorably known by the American peo ple from the statue of "Liln-rty En lightening the World." Asa work of art. this statue has been pronounced by connoisseurs to be a 1 ; ios - t i ' o BAr.TUeI.lil's SILVER 6TATIE OF CO MMIU'S. ma-terpieee. Life and vigor are im plied ia every line and feature, and the general effect is one of great beauty. Combined with this fact is the siguili ennctt as In ir.g probably the largest figure ever cast in silver and the suc cess attendant upon itseonception and production. The statue is somewhat more than life size, Wing slightly over six feet in height and standing on a t-ilvcr podc-tal alout a fixjt high. Thirty thousand ounces r.f sterling silver. Ko-l.r.-K) ure. was tist d in east ing. The finish is such as l-st to pre serve the whole vigor and spirit of the sculptor's model rather than as a speci men of the chaser's art. The metal is finished in the oxidized form, thus tihiwing much more expression in light and shade effects than as though highly polished. The latter style of finish would give simply a colorless, lifeless picture, unrelieved by darker tints. The process of easting was not esscn t.aily different from the ordinary mode of procedure in bronze, except that more care was taken in the de tails. The sculptor first made in clay Lis complete model exactly as it is to appear in the finished statue. Then a moid was taken of the model by ar riving a heavy layer of plaster of paris. The plaster mold was then ra moved in arched sections, so that be i:.g removed they could be placed to gether so as to form a complete figure with the outlines on the interior. From this meld a plaster of paris cast was made, thus rcprodnciug iq plaster the iJenticai figure first modeted ia clay. The planter cast, covered first with a coating of shellac to prevent the absorption of moisture, was then ready for the founder, and in this form was shipped from the studio of the sculptor at Baris tj the works where it was cast, at Providence, R.

Queer and ( orloui fcrrort urra and S-lll Mora Krmarkahlr Specimen of the Ciena Homo Oriental Mcbt, I.Lfe. iSpeciil World Fair Letter ! From the top of the Forris wheel in the Midway Plaisance you can see all the kingdoms of the earth in a moment of time. All kindreds, nations and tongues are to be found on that queer three-quarters of a mile, without par or precedent. Never wis there such an opportunity to suncy the world from China to Pern. Half adozen con tinents are represented in the aggrega tion of concessions. Man, as ho is to tiay, beyond the pale, as he was a few thousand years a'o in all lands, is on exhibition n the l'laisanci;. He is there ia ell shades, from conventional pink mid white to lemon odor and burnt hienna. He elbows his brother from the antipodes day after day on the broad roadway. Half a lifetime spent in studying lxioks of travel would not convey the quantity of informa tion that may be derived from a week Fpent on the I'laisance. It i.s far more than a mere "fchow." It is an educa tion. From savage naturalness through elim deinicivilization to oriental ease, the process of the world's evolution of civilization is traced out in unmistak able characters. . Th -n. too, there isa whole multitude of displays quaint or curious from Rome point of view that illustrate mat ters other than the manners of the crien or the hick of them in Africa. Things industrial are not forgotten ami the savaye breasts over on Freak avenue are soothed by the charms of music rich and rare. Visitors who stroll into a glass factory, blase as they may be with the marvels of the exposi tion, are startled to find themselves in close proximity to a Turk or two, a German cavalryman, a Tyrolese singe-r, a French dansense, and a Chinese his trion. Those are the daily occurrences of the Midway Plaisance.

From the pround to the top of the wheel is a distance of i."!j feet, and in its circumference ere contained 33 cars, each construct ed to carry M people. "A ride in the wheel" comprises twice around the cir cuit, a distance in all o: l.iuO feet, and occupies in all some CO minutes. From one point of view tho wheel U some what on the nature of a disappoint ment, l'eople who board the cars in the hope of experiencing ajiy of the titilhijf in of the nerves that accom panies a rik will find themselves mis taken. The motion, thourrh of course perceptible, is slow and dignified. One d'K-s not realize that the heiirht is vast. und. locked in lelund the grilles or ine wiujov.s, mere is litlie more conception of risk than if the wheel were a tower of (rranite. Theaters galore are to be found on the riaisar.ee. Kiht or nine are in a chronic condition of performance all day and most of the nirht. The more important of them are of the cast, eastern, and bear a stronjr family r bt nblancc the one t-j the other. Their attractions are largely saltatory, and ii-r the lirst time Americans are af forded an opportunity to view the tl.ince da ventre, if not in all its naked ness, at least nearly so. Tho theater where this performance taks place is attached to the concession known as the "Street in Cairo." Opinions as to the adviubility of pennittin tho porf"rr..r.nce have been much divided, but no oficial censure has been passed up m what is sometimes termed its Indecency. Certain it is that the !anscuses are clad more after a fashion Fit it cd to the climate of sultry I'trypt than of (hilly Chicago, arid certain it is that the audience is mainly of the sterner sex. Hut beyond all doubt the theater illustrates the customs of the country whence the performers have mb?, and the concessionaires of the J airo street defend their daiiscuses on Ihe count f their ethnological inter est. Like all oriental dances the mo tion i.s of the Imk'.v rather than of the feet. There is no slitrht prace about the performance, and there is a ryth mic skill that probably no occidental premiere could acquire. At the theater attached to the Turk r h villaTe there are dances that diiTer from the Cciroer.e ia decree rather than Uir.iL There is, the same wave like movement of the body, the same ;.v.av:r;r in sections t j music, and the 3Mi' hii:-uorons prae. This i.s like wise th case at the Algerian theater. Uoth these latter playhouses, how-r-ver. possess their distinctive features. There is a complicated presentation of a woddinfT, with feasting- and cymbals nn l tjnint ceremonies, on the Imards of the Turkish ; theater. The Alp-e-rians show Aisaous, or torture dance, a display Miflieiently horrllde to be fas cir.at ir.'.

This pe rformance is jriven once c::ch rly. u-. i it r."juires co r mall cx reh e of faith oa the part of the cudiece? in the theater to swallow tiie :.!:'.-.vaian's statement to the eject tht it is the cvei.ir.g' prayer to 11a- homet. Then there ar; other theaters, too. The Chinese opera house is perhr pi t ho most int"restin.!f of them all. and the hoarse clangor of its boiler-plate or chestra rings in the ears of every passr er by on the Plaisance. In deference to occidental ideas, the book of the play has been abridg-.-nl from a drama calculated to occupy threo or four months in execution to a comedy an hour in length. Emperors in flowing- white "vuiskers, much made-up men who impersonate princesses and Joss, the high pod. are the staple char acters in all the plays. The term "village" Is of an accom modating nature on the Plaisance, Yillag-e.. arc thc-re as t hick as blackber ries, and they rang-c from a collection of booths to a danc3 hall. Two rival Irish villager, are situated close to the entrance to the Plaisance, one of them the pet undertaking- of Lady Aber deen, the wife of the chief magistrate. of Canada, the other under the super intendence of Mrs. Ernest Hart, an F'nirlish woman with Irish sympathies. Iloth make a conscientious endeavor to be Tillages, each containing: its epiota of thatclu'd cottages, whe-re idealized peasants in impossibly white aprons sell buttermilk and boc-oak ornaments. Each is credited with an ancestral mansion. Lady Aberdeen having selected Elarney castle for the model of her principal building, Mrs. Dart the Castle of Donegal. Some justification, too, may be found for applying the term village to the German concession, with its schloss and church. The Laplanders r.nd Javanese also have transferred the homes of their native lands to Ameri can soil, the Javanese village in par ticular, with its bamboo cottages and riofs of palm leaf, being among- the most picturesque c ! jects on the fair grounds. It is dillicult, however, to discover any jiisliLcatii n f.ir the op plication of the term to the Turkish or the Algerian concessions.
