REGULATIONS '"'i;^;::°;:2' ISSUED FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONERS. '■' I ' : !■ GENERAL REGULATIONS. t. The Exhibition will be opened on or about the ist May, i886, and will remain open for a period of about six months. 2. Subject to the conditions stated in Regulations 3 and 4, the objects to be exhibited are left entirely to the discretion of the Governments participat- ing, in so far as they illustrate the resources, products and manufactures of the Colonies and the Indian Empire. For reasons stated elsewhere, no Classification has been attempted by the Royal Commission ; but each Government is invited to classify its own collection. 3. All fulminating and explosive substances and all dangerous substances are absolutely forbidden to be sent, but they may be represented by models or dummies. _ ;',:ir;eu« ; ,•' " > '-^^ 4. Spirits, oils, essences, corrosive substances and generally all substances which might spoil other articles or cause inconvenience to the public, can only be received in substantial and suitable vessels of small size. 5. There will be no charge for space. « i^*' . «;-t*^ iS • i '• .. j 6. Motive power and water will be supplied free of cost, provided that notice by letter or cable is given before the \st January, 1886. Foundations can be laid, under the superintendence of the Secretary to the Royal Com- mission, upon requisition from the Executive Commissioners, with their order for payment. The work will be done at the expense of the Commissions requiring it ; and full particulars of the size, character and intended position of machines should be given. 7. As the allotments of space have in most cases been already notified to the Colonial and Indian Governments, no further applications can, except under special circumstances, be entertained. Applications to exhibit from any individual or firm will be referred to the Executive Commissioners for the various Colonies and for India. 8. The Executive Commissioners appointed by their respective Govern- ments will have the entire control of the arrangements of the goods Ixvi Colonial and Indian Exhibition. exhibited in their respective sections, subject to the conditions stated in Regulations 9 to i6. 9. At least one main passage of not less than fifteen feet must extend throughout each Court from end to end ; and, where doors or openings occur, passages of not less than ten feet in 'dth must be provided communicating with the m.iin central passage. The necessity of providing adequate space for allowing the proper inspection of articles exhibited need scarcely be insisted upon. 10. Signs or name-boards should be placed parallel with the main passages, that is, parallel with the frontage of the respective stands. It is suggested that they should be black with gold letters. Care should be taken to prevent any interference with the electric? lighting arrangements. 11. All handbills, printed matter, &c., connected with exhibits, and intended for gratuitous distribution, should be duly authorised by the Executive Commissioners for each country, who will find the Secretary to the Koyal Commission ready to co-operate with them. 12. It is specially requested that no cases or goods should exceed the height of ten feet : this rule is not intended .to prevent the erection of any special trophies ; but designs to scale of all trophies should, previous to their erection, be notified to the Secretary to the Royal Commission. 13. As the Exhibition Buildings are leased by the Royal Commission, no alterations afTecting the structure of ihe buildings as regards the floor, walls or roofing can be permitted without special application to the Secretary to the Royal Commission. 14. Executive Commissioners will be required to provide all necessary attendance for keeping the stands and exhibits in their sections properly cleaned and in good order : all stands should remain uncovered during the hours the Exhibition is open to the public. 1 5. It is probable that the hours during which the Exhibition will remain open to the public will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on all days except Wednes- days and Saturdays, when the hour of closing will be 11 p.m. These arrangements are, however, subject to alteration. The Exhibition will not be open on Sundays. 16. No Exhibit may be removed from the Exhibition Buildings until the close of the Exhibition, without the permission of the Executive Commis- sioners, countersigned by the Secretary to the Royal Commission ; and consequently no selling, with a view to removal prior to the close of the Exhibition, should be allowed. 17. No article exhibited may be photographed, drawn, copied or reproduced in any manner whatsoever, without the special sanction of the Executive Commissioner of the section ; this sanction should be notified to the Secretary to the Royal Commission. 18. All packages containing goods intended for exhibition must have painted on them the distinctive mark C. I. E., together with the name of the Colony from which they are sent. They must in all cases be consigned to the £lxecutive Commissioner of the Colony from which they are sent. General Regulations. Ixvii 19. All goods intended for exhibition should reach the Exhibition buildings on or before the 31st January, 1886 ; and, if convenient to Executive Con>- missioners, they can be received from the ist January, 1886: it is hoped that everything will be reported as ready for inspection at least fourteen days previous to the end of April. 20. Cases should be unpacked with the greatest possible dispatch, and when empty should be removed immediately from the buildings. The Secretary to the Royal Commission will have pleasure in recommending places of storage for empty cases ; but it must be distinctly understood that all arrangements for the unpacking, removal, storage and bringing back of cases must be made, and the expenses borne, by the various Colonial and Indian Commissions. "'■:' ■'"' 21. All expenses connected with the installation and d.- "lay of exhibits will be defrayed by the Colonial and Indian Commissions. • 22. The Royal Commission reserves to itself the right of refusing to admit any exhibit. 23. The Royal Commission reserves to itself the sole right of publishing and selling a General Catalogue, and General Guide and Plans of the Exhibition, and for this purpose requests that a descriptive list, duly classified, of the goods intended for exhibition maybe forwarded to the Secretary to the Royal Commission by the respective Commissions not later than the ist December, 1885. Each Commission will, however, be at liberty to publish and sell through the official publishers to the Royal Commission a special Catalogue of its collection. It is hoped for the sake of uniformity that the size of all such publications may be the same size as that of the General Catalogue, known as Demy 8vo. (8 J in. x sj-in.) 24. A Colonial Dining Room will be organised, under the superintendence of the Royal Commission, to which Exhibitors are invited to send, through their Executive Commissioners, Colonial preserved food and wines for con- sumption by visitors. Special Regulations have been prepared for this department {see page 68). 25. Ari'angements will be made for the sampling of Wines ; and an officer will be appointed to superintend this department. Cellarage accommodation will be provided. Special Regulations have been prepared for this Depart- ment {seepage 66). 26. No Refreshment or Tasting Bars will be allowed beyond those arranged for by the Royal Commission. 27. It is proposed to organise a Fruit and Vegetable Market, at which Colonial and Indian produce will be on sale. Special Regulations will be framed for this section of the Exhibition. 28. It is proposed to hold an Exhibition of Living Animals from the Colonies and India. Special Rules will be framed for its regulation. 29. The upper Gallery of the Royal Albert Hall has been set apart for a collection of pictures of British Colonial and British Indian subjects, and by colonial artists. Special Regulations have been prepared {seepage 69). e 2 Ixviii Colonial and Indian Exhibition. 30. The right to add to, alter, amend or expunge any of these Rules is reserved by the Royal Commission. 31. The Royal Commission, while talcing every precaution for the protec- tion of .articles in the buildings, cannot hold itself resix>nsible for their loss or damage from whatsoever cause arising. 32. If any damage or injury shall be caused or occasioned during the Exhibi- tir>n by any exhibited machine, implement, or article to any visitor or other person .or to any officer, servant, or others then and there employed by the Roya Commission of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, 1886, then the Executive Commissioner in whose section such machinery, implement, or article may be placed shall indemnify and hold harmless the said Royal Commission from and against all actions, suits, expenses, and claims on account or in respect of any such damage or injury which may be so caused or occasioned . 33. All communications should be addressed to the Secretary to the Royal Commission, Exhibition Buildings, South Kensington, London, S.W. : WINES, SPIRITS, LIQUEURS, &c. 1. The Royal Commission will provide, free of charge, space in the base* ment of the Royal Albert Hall (which building will form part of the Exhibition) where colonial wines, &c., can be sampled by visitors. 2. The Royal Commission will only entertain applications for space from Executive Commissioners, who are to be responsible to the Royal Commission that all ex bits are exclusively of British Colonial or of British Indian produce. 3. Applications for space in this department must be made to the Executive Conkmissioner of the Colony to which the applicant belongs. 4. No Applications for space will be received by Executive Commissioners after February 1st, 1886. 5. In no other portion of the Exhibition Buildings will Exhibitors be permitted to sample alcoholic drinks. 6. As all wines, spirits, &c., for exhibition will, by permission of Her Majesty's Customs, be brought in under bond, it is strictly forbidden to sell any portion of such exhibit, for delivery out of stock until after the close of the Exhibition, when duty will have to be paid for all wines, &c. Duty will also have to paid on all wines sold or given away for consumption on the premises. Executive Commissioners are earnestly requested to assist the Royal Commission in preventing any breach of this regulation. 7. Wines, &c., that remain at the close of the Exhibition must be removed at the Exhibitor's cost to a bonded store, or the duty must be paid wtthiQ seven days after the close of the Exhibition. - Regidatiofts. Ixix 8. An Office for the registration of orders will be established by the Royal Commission, and an experienced officer and ccllarman will be specially charged with the arrangements ; official order books will be provided bv the Executive Commissioners in which all orders will be entered with full particulars of the transactions. The expenses in connection with this office will be charged to the Executive Commissioners pro rata on the amount of space occupied by them. : i' • • • ^-, • » •) r 9. Every sale must be notified at the Office and a return made daily to the officer in charge, who will be forbidden to give information to an>- person, except the Official Accountant of the Royal Commission, as to the business transactions of the Exhibitors. 10. As space in the basement of the Royal Albert Hall can only be granted to extend four feet from the walls, exhibits must be kept carefully within these limits. The ceUars will be opened to the public at 1 1 a.m. and closed at 8 p.m. under the Customs' lock. Samples can only be shown between these hours. 11. Executive Commissioners may put locks on the taps and take any precautions they consider necessary for the security of the goods, subject to the approval of the Royal Commission. 12. All Fittings, Counters, &c., must be provided at the expense of the Exhibitors and will be subject to the approval of the Royal Commission. 13. The Glasses used should be approved by the officer in charge. 14. Executive Commissioners are earnestly requested to ase every pre- caution to prevent the distribution of samples being a cause of disorder, and they are most earnestly requested to forbid the supply of drink of any kind to persons employed in the building by the Royal Commission or the Executive Commissioners. 15. If any person be found in such a condition that he may be considered by the police or a responsible official to be suffering from drink, the space allotted where such person was last supplied with alcoholic drink will be with- drawn fiom the control of the Exhibitor, so far as sampling is concerned. 16. The Royal Commission reserves to itself the right to close any exhibit if it considers that irregularities are caused by the Exhibitor or his Attendants. 17. In making an Application for space to exhibit in this Department, intending exhibitors are particularly requested to carefully fill up the form which is supplied to them for giving information as to the name of wines, position of the vineyard, date of formation, and other particulars of a similar character. The information so suppHed will be published in the Special Catalogue, and must also be displayed on the exhibit. 18. The Royal Commission reserves to itself the right of altering or adding to these regulations. Ixx Colonial and Indian Exhibition. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL OF COOKERY. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Executive President of the Royal Commission for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, having accepted the proposal made to His Royal Highness by the Council for the National Training School of Cookery that the School should undertake, on behalf of the Royal Commission, the management of the Dining Rooms devoted to the purpose of bringing to public notice Colonial and Indian food products, the ollowing Regulations for the realisation of this scheme have been issued. 1. Suitable Rooms for this purpose will be provided by the Royal Commission at the Exhibition. 2. These Rooms will be managed by the National Training School of Cookery, who will, as far as is possible, prepare the food. 3. The Colonial or Indian Executive Commissioners, who desire to have their produce consumed in the Dining Room, should undertake to keep ready for use an ample stock of the articles in which they are interested. 'i{ «.'^ 4. The Executive Commissioners are requested to arrange for the supply of Food Products and Wines to the School on the most liberal terms. 5. The Colonial wines on sale will be supplied by the Executive Commissioners of the Wine Producing Colonies. Payment will be made to the Executive Commissioners weekly for the wines used.

Sir, Referring to your recent letter, asking, on behalf of the Royal Com- mission for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, for information as to the protection that will be granted by this Department to Colonial Inventions to be exhibited, I am directed by the Board of Trade to state that the only protection that can be afforded to such Inventions is that prescribed by Section 39 {copy herewith) of the Patents, 6r*c., Act, 1883. // may, however, be suggested that the attention of the Colonial Commis- sioners should be drawn to the question whether Colonists exhibiting inventions unpatented in the Colonies might possibly deprive themselves of the right to obtain patents in their respective Colonies. .V * I am, Sir^ Your obedient Servant, {Signed) HENRY G.

The current is obtained from four of Messrs. Elwell-Parker's self-regulating dynamos, each of which can supply a current of 250 amperes with an electro-motive force of 250 volts when running at 300 revolutions. The power required to drive these machines is supplied by a pair of compound horizontal engines, placed at the west end of the Canadian Court. These engines will each develop 200 H.-P., at a speed of 110 revolutions, and have been specially designed I y Messrs. Galloway to meet the requirements of electric lighting. The three large Siemens' dynamos, which were used during the Invention Exhibition, and the Goodfellow's and Mathews' three-cylinder engines, have also been retained, and will form a reserve in case of any accident to the new plant. Besides the glow-lamp illumination, 15 arc lamps have been placed on throe masts, so placed as to light up the whole of the grounds, even should the general illumination be put out. These arc lamps are new, from a Victoria Brush F. 3 dynamo, driven by a third Galloway engine, similar to the pair used for the glow lamps, and which is placed in the West Quadrant. Thia engine also drives the dyiiumo for the fountain lamps. Ixxxviii Uledric Lighting. y' THE ILLUMINATED FOUNTAINS. In the Ornamental Water, in the Grounds, Fountains of various designs have been arranged, which are illuminated after dark by means of powerful olectric arc lamps. The foUowiug is a description of the means by which the effects shown by the Fountains are produced: — i .^Mttinur^ ,'•; , ">' .1 : !■ -• The water for supplying the Fountains is delivered direct from the West Middlesex Water Company's Hammersmith pumping station. Tlie main enters the Exhibition Grounds from the nortli-west, and is conducted to the four water-meters, on the western side of the centre basin, which register the quantity of water consumed. From this point •» large main leads to the central " island," wliere the principal jeta rise. Tho water is supplied at a pressure of about seventy pounds to the square inch, which is sufficient to carry it to a height of 120 feet. The island is reached by means of a subway, and through this are laid the cables for the electric current and the signalling wires. Tho whole of the jets are worked by scrow-valves and levers placed inside the island. Tho Fountain display is directed from tho clock tower at the south side of the Garden, the " operating-room " being below tho dial of tho large clock. Tho operator controls not only the working of the jets, but also the colour and power of the lights, by a series of electric signals, arranged on a key-board with HO keys, in five rows of 12 each, which communicate with bells and indicators inside tho island. The machine-room inside tho island is an apartment 21 feet square. Its roof being only 5 feet 8 inches from tlie floor, renders it difficult for the operators to stand upright in it ; and there is au outer passage all round which is only 4 feet G inches high. Tlio Fountains are set in action by screw-valves fixed vertically on the different branches attached to tho water main. Tlie large jets, which send the water to the greatest heights, are worked by plug-valves and levers, so as to allow an instantaneous start and stop, which causes a shower of spray. There are, altogether, eleven wheels and six levers. In the roof are seven circular skylights of very strong glass, one of them being exactly in tho centre, the others forming a hexagon about it. Under each of these skylights is a wooden stand, on which is fixed a hand arc lamp of 8000 candle power. Over each arc is a lens, which concen- trates the light on the jet. There are also eight windows in the roof of the outer passage under each of which is an arc light and reflector. When the order " Lights on " is received, the five arcs are set going, the result being to powerfully illumine the jets of water internally, while the dropping water or spray is illuminated externally by the surroxmdlng beams of light, thus pro- ducing a glistening-efl'ect. There is also a lamp opposite the cascade, the light being concentrated by a plano-convex lens. Tiic current for these lamps is supplied by a Victoria Brush machine, driven by the Galloway engine in the West Quadrant. The usual staflf is fifteen — one man to work the valves, thirteen to attend to the lights, and one to watch and reply to the bells. They cannot see what is going on outside, their only means of knowing that all is right being the signals from the clock tower. The quantity of water sent up averages 70,000 gallons an hour ; but when all the jots are gouig at onco, 1000 gallons are used in fifteen seconds. ( Ixxxix ) THE "OLD LONDON" STEEET. DESCKIPTION OF THE STREET REPRESENTING "OLD LONDON" IN THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION AT SOUTH KENSINGTON, 1886 (ERECTED FROM THE DRAWINGS AND UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF GEORGE H. BIRCH, ESQ., A.R.I.B.A., LATE HON. SEC. LONDON AND MIDDLESEX ARCH^OLOGICAL SOCIETY). , Ting street is composed of various houses grouped together to form a quaint and picturesque thorouglifare of the normal width of an Old London street, the dates of the various huildings being as diversified as are their size and appearance, and the object that has been held steadily in view, is to show the City of London as it existed before the Great Fire of 1666 swept it from off the face of the earth. These houses are no pasteboard and painted canvas delusions, but honest structures. They represent no fanciful restorations from written records, but are faithfal delineations from actual drawings derived from authentic sources. A reference to the accompanying plan will enable the visitor to identify the different houses and structures which are numbered as in the following description. Entering from the Central Avenue immediately in front of the Pavilion of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, stands one of the City gates — Bishopsgate, reduced in proportion and flanked by the City wall ; this gate (not one of the original gates of which there were but four) was broken through the ancient walls, the peculiar Roman manner of building with courses of tiles being shown on the lower part ; these wails might have been built during the 400 yeai's of Roman occupation, but more probably after their withdrawal and before the tradition of the Roman manner of building had died out ; above the arch on each side are the arms of the City of London and the arms of the Bishopric, and immediately over the gate in a niche stands the statue of one of the bishops, William the Norman, to whom the City was particularly indebted, for by his good offices, all those rights and privileges and immunities which the City had inherited from Roman times and \vhieh had been confirmed and strengthened under the Saxon Kings, were reconfirmed by the Conqueror. Once a year the City fathers went in solemn procession to his tcii.b in St. Paul's Cathedral, and testified by this act their grateful recognition. Above, on the to\yei8 which flank the gateway, are the statues of Alfred who wrested the City from the Danes, and of his son-in-law, Aldred Earl of Mercia to whom he committed the govern- ment thereof. Passing through the gate the corresponding statue, that of William the Norman, is seen representing St. Erkenwald, the Fourth Bishop of London, a.d. 675, after the re-constitution of the see und re-establishment of Christianity by St. Augiistine. Tliis Erkenwald was a great favourite with il:he Londoners, and after his canonization, his shrine at St. Paul's, one of the richest in the kin£;dom, was for many centuries an object of great veneration. The ground floor on each Bide thows on the right a debtors' prison, and on the left an ordinary luck-up, and beyond are the staircases to the flrst-fioor. After passing through the gateway, the firtt house on tite left is the " Rose Inn " (No. 1), Fenchurch Street, curious as having its front covered with small cut slates, instead of the ordinary lath and plaster and timber construction usual in London. The next house (No. 2) stood in Leadenhall Street, and was known as the " Cock Tavern," the representations of this house, of which ther&are many, represent it after the gable had been removed, and a flat coping substituted, but in this instance its pristine condition has been reverted to. Following in order is a block of three houses (Nos. 3, 4 and 5) formerly existing iu Fleet Street, towards Temple Bar, on the south side, and known by the name of the " Three Squirrels," now Messrs. Gosling's Bank. This system of the houses being known by certain signs irrespective of the avocations, or change of owners, was universal. The " Mai7gold " at Temple Bar, Messrs. Child's Bank, The "Grasshopper" in Lombard Street, Messrs. Martin & OJ. LU UJ CC I- z o o z o o -J o UJ X I, « U F< t!

Hoaro's, are all initances of a snrriTal of a aomenclatnre the origin of which has been ao entirely at Tariance with the avocationi of the mbaeqnent owners. v ■*, i The houae (No. 6), is a copy of the one which stood at the otner of Fleet Street and Chancery Lane, and was traditioually known oa the " Isaac Walton's House." " Vir et Piscator optimuB," but there is a doubt that tradition is this case was tradition only, as the actual house was two doors further to the west; but apart from this, the house itself was a magnificent specimen of an ordinary citizen's house in Elizabeth's reign, and was for many years a conspicnous ornament to Fleet Street, and in close contiguity to those well-known haunts of the wits of that period, the *' Apollo" and the " Devil " Taverns. Set back a little from tlie main lino of the street in order to give prominence to Walton's house, and to give it the appearance of a comer house, are two unpretending wooden structures (Kos. 7 and 8) which formerly stood hard by the ancient church of St Ethelburga, Bishopsgate Street, and were the ordinary type of hundreds of others in the old city, a shop below, and a solar or chamber above. Standing prominently in advance of these is the old tower of a church, which, although not strictly modelled from that of All Hallows, Staining — differing only in having a larger traceried window — resembles in its general form and outline many others in which our forefathers were wont to worship; most of these churches were small, for the parishes attached to them were also diminuiive, and this tower type, with bold octagonal staircase turret on one side, was almost universal ; there were exceptions in which the towers hod lofty pinnacles at each comer, like the present St. Sepulchre's, Holbom, or the more modem re-buildings by Wren, of St. Michael's, Cornliill, and St. Mary Aldermary; and the curious arched superstructure with its five lanterns of St. Mary-le-Bow, or de Arcubus, and the very fine spire of St. Lawrence Pountney ; but the generality of the churches possessed towers similar in character to the one depicted here. The water conduit (erected by Messrs. Judson & Co.), the pillory, and the stocks placed in the open space in front of the church tower are quaint and interesting features of the everyday life of our forefathers. This conduit stood at the junction of the four ways, Comhill, Bishopsgate, Leadenhall Street, and Gracechurch Street, and was known as the " Standard upon Comhill," and a well-known point for calculating distances from. The original had eight jets of water proceeding from the top of the Corinthian capital, but as the space at dispoeal was so limited these extra jets had to be omitted. Next to the church, and fronting down the street, is a portion of Middle Row (No. 9), which stood in the Strand, just outside Temple Bar, and was known as Butchers' Row ; these houses well represent the overhanging of the stories so prevalent in London where the groundfloor space was very limited, additional room above being obtained by these means at the expense of light and air. Butchers' Row itself and its quaint structures were swept away when Alderman Pickett, with a public spirit far in advance of his times, made one of the first piiblic improve- ments by widening this portion of the Strand, leaving the Church of St. Clement Danes Related in the midst of a large oval. These houses are historically interesting, as in one of them the Gunpowder Plot conspirators met. Elbow Lane. — The site at this point considerably narrows, from 70 to 30 feet, and the houses are not continued on parallel lines, in order to break a perspective which would have been too long for a picturesque effect, and also in order to obtain that sinuosity so characteristic of London streets. Next on the left is a fine large house of two gables (No. 10), which stood in this Middle Bow, Strand, and was known as the French Ambassador's house, or the Duke of Sully's, also Monsieur Beaumont's, both ambassadors here from the most Christian King to the Court of St James'. This Duke de Sully was the famous Henri de Bethune, the wise and popular minister to Henri Quartre, King of France and Navarre. That this house was probably occupied by him there can be little doubt ; not only from the commonly accepted tradition, but from the fact of its being decorated with badges of the De Bethunes, the French crown and fleur-de-lis and two hands grasping one another in a trae " entente cordiale." The next (No. 11) is a low straotnre of wood and plaster, and hM been modelled fnm an old engTBTing representing a pcnrtion of Bishopsgate Street. xoii Old London. Beyoud this is an old house (Nos. 12 & 13) which was in Goawell Street, of the date of Elizabeth's reign. The windows are mullioned and transomed, and show one peculiarity very general in old London, in carrying on the upper lights continuously. No. 14 is a timber house with carved bargeboard, which stood next to Blue Boar's Head Yard, King Street, Westminster. The tradition as to its being formerly occupied by Oliver Cromwell was verified in 1833 by an inspection of the parish books of St. Margaret's, "West- niinster, where it was found that Lieut.-General Oliver Cromwell was rated for and occupied this house some time anterior to his taking possession of Whitehall Pulace. The last bouse (No. 14a), decorated with medallions of the Roman Emperors in plaster, stood on Little Tower Hill. There is nothing remarkable iu the building beyond that the roof line is level and was chosen as a contrast to the all-prevailing gable. At this point (No. 15)— the termination westward of the street — the entrance thereto is masked by one of the galleried fronts of an old London inn. The " Oxford Arms," Warwick Lane, was chosen as a typical specimen ; but there are still remaining iu Bishopsgate Street, Holbom, ai:d more especially the Borough, several examples of these. The house beyond (No. 16) was on the west side of Little Mcorfields, Finsbury, and war. a very fine specimen of plaster work. It was not removed until the commencement of the present century. A low building connects this with two houses (Nos. 17 & 18) pobsegsing considerablo interest; they stood at the south comer of Hosier Lane, Smithfield, over against the famous " Pye Corner," where the fearful conflagration of 1666 was arrested, after having laid considerably more than three-fourths of the City in ashes ; they were not removed until 1800. Another gateway here arrests our steps ; this was the entrance to the famous Priory of the Holy Trinity, Aldgate, founded by Queen Matilda, and whose Prior, by virtue of his office as representing the Knighten Guild v/ho had made over to this priory their lands and soke, was admitted as one of the Aldermen of London, of the Ward of Portsoken. According to custom, he eat in court, and rode in scarlet, or such livery as the other aldermen used. The Priory, at the dissolution, was granted tci Sir Thomas Audley, whose daughter, marrying the Duke of S'orfolk, gave the name to the house built by Audley out of the ruins of the Priory, — " Duke's Place." Beyond the gate (No. 19) is the inn called the " Fountain " in the Minories, which, notwithstanding its heavy projecting stories, was so strongly framed, that when it was attempted to remove it, cart-horses had to be employed to pull tho beams apart ; on one of them was found the date 1480. Beyond this (No. 19a) is tlie gable end of the Hall of the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity (which is reached by ascending the staircases to the first fioor) in Aldersgate Street, near to Little ■ Britain. This Hall has been selected as a typical example of the Hall of a Guild or Livery, of which there were many within the boundaries of the ancient City. It was a guild possessing property, and connected with the neighbouring church of St. Botolph's, Aldersgate Street, and after the suppression was purchased by some of the parishioners as a place of meeting. It was not removed until the end of the last century, and very eccurate drawings by Capon and Carter exist in the Gardner Collection. Tho Right Hon. John Staples, F.S.A., Lord Mayor of London for the present year (a member of the committee originally charged with the construction of the buildings), has given the history of this Guild in his * Notes on St. Botolph's, Aldersgate.* The ancient stained glass with a figure of St. Blaise, and several ancient shields which existed in 1611, and were not iced by N. Charles, Lancaster Herald, have been faithfully reproduced. The house beyond is one of the most remarkable in this street (No. 20), remarkable not only for its extreme richness of decoration, but as being connected with Sir Richard Whittington, famous in song and in story. It was situated four doors from Mark Lane in Crutched Friars, or Hart Street, up a courtyard, and was described iu old leases as Whittington's Palace. Although the house from its style and ornamentation could not possibly have been of his time it is possible that the front only had been ornamented and altered, for iu general outline and arrangement it resembled houses of that date — it was richly ornamented with carvings of the armorial bearings of the city companies, which stamped it as being the house of a remarkable personage and one whom tho City delighted to honour. It was impossible to reproduce the extreme richness of its decoration. The ornamentation has therefore only been painted, the original havfng been entirely carved and painted and gilt. Very accurate prints of this court- Old London. xciii yard exist, and several views of the elevation more or less mutilated are in the European Magazine. An original drawing showing its gables is in the Gardner collection ; from which this representation has been taken. The next two houses (No. 21) were drawn by Mr, Gwilt before they were removed ; they were Bitnated in Bankside, and are picturesque examples of plaster decoration and open balconies. The last two bouses (Nos. 22 & 23) in this street on the left before aniving at the gate at which we entered were also from the Gwilt collection (now in the Gardner) and stood in the High Street, Borough ; they were only removed of late years, and were drawn and measured by Mr. Gwilt. As to actual size the whole of the buildings have only been slightly reduced, but this has been done in proportion, although such reduction is not to a uniform scale, but has been adopted in the different cases to suit the uniformity of tho plan and arrangement of the whole. The interiors, it must be recollected do not in all cases correspond in size with the exteriors. The foregoing notice is written from particulars furnished by Mr. Geo. H. Birch, the architect, and is not intended to be more than a very brief description of tho examples selected to represent " Old London." The buildings were designed and constructed as bearing upon and connected with the special objects of the International Health Exhibition, 1884, to which the Corporation of the City of London and several of the Livery Companies liberally subscribed. The Eoyal Commission has placed at the service of the Colonial Commissioners the whole of the upper rooms of this street. On the right side of Old London will be found the rooms set apart for the use of the Colonial and India OflSces, and also those for the Crown Agents of tho Colonies ; all these rooms lead into the Colonial Commissioners' Club. The Banqueting Hall, &c., furnished by Messrs. Cooper & Holt, of Bunhill Row, and on tho left side the Offices of tho following Colonial Commissioners : Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Canada, Victoria, West Indies, and New Zealand. On entering tho ground floor of Old London, No. 1 is allotted to the Official Photographers to the Royal Commission, Messrs. W. & D. Downey, and the Woodbury Company. No. 2 is the General Post Office. Nos. 5 and 6 are appropriated for the Eoyal Commissioners' Colonial Reception Committee ; and No. 7, Colonial Tea and Coffee Committee Room. Nos. 5, 6 and 7 are furnished by Messrs. Brew & Challis, Finsbury Pavement, and decorated by Missrs. Scott & Cuthbertson, Chelsea. No. 9 is occupied by, and under the supervision of, Messrs. Cook & Son, as Colonial Exchange and Writing Rooms. No. 12 is tiio Office for the Commission for Ceylon, and No. 18 that for Western Australia. No. 14, British and Foreign Bible Society. Nos. 19 & 19a are reserved for tho Central Railway Booking and Tourist Offices of the Royal Commis- sion, with " ye Railway Lounge " attached. Nos. 20 & 21 Messrs. SpicrD & Pond for light refreshments. No. 22 for St. John's Ambulance, and No. 23 for the Fire Brigade. The street is now illuminated at night by electricity. Both arc and crystal glow lamps are used ; of tho former kind, five lamps of 2500-candle-power each are so arranged as to produce the picturesque effect of moonlight in the street and narrow lane and alleys, while the rooms upstairs are lit with several hundreds of incandescent lamps. fi:-) i?'..^ ■••Jf v->ii-> ■\-'--l^ ■>.hi'" •..'■V.i:.'VA,-A •'.■:;;i;-' ; .I..','' taHK^ik-/ ■:j.:!i "a. i; i.'»:U'-. n ( xoiv ) THE AQUARIUM OP BRITISH PISHES. Thu popular and interesting section of the past ami present Exhibitions is situated in the Western Arcade, and comprises ten sea-water tanks, nine fresh-water tanks, twenty table-tanks, and twelve oyster-tank*-. Since the International Fisheries Exhibition the control of the Aqoariam has been in the hands of the National Fish Culture Association, whose President and Chairman is the Marquess of Exeter ; its Vice-President Sir Edward Birckbeck, Bart., M.P. ; wid its Director and Secretary, W.

There ia always a fascination in wtiiching the graceful, silent movements of the denizens of our waters; and whatever form an exhibition may take, a glimpse into the Aqueous Kingdom through the medium of Aquaria is always heartily welct)med by everybody. Althoagh the exhibitions that have succeeded that of the International Fisheries liave beeu of an entirely ditforent character, the Aquarium has always maintained its position of iutereat ; and this is particularly the case m ith the present Exhibition, when an opportunity will be afforded to Colonial visitors of inspecting tlie various fish indigenous to this country. The Council of the National Fish Culture Association have done their utmost to heighten the attractiveneus of this department ; and preparations have been in course of progress since the commencement of the prcaent year for bringing to perfection the necessary preliminary arrange- ments whereby to ensure the successful retention of fish in captivity. During tbe winter the Aquarium was carefully maintained, so that the collection now »hown to the pnblio includes many well-seasoned and matured specimens. In order to render the freeh and sea-water as clear and bright as podsible, it has been clarified by Maignen's " Filtre Rapide." Elaborate arrange- iXkents have been made for replenishing ihe tanks with marine and fre:>h-water fish, and with this la view special fishermen and naturalists are being employed on all parts of the coast to capture and forward specimtos. so that tbe Aquarium may always be replete with selected fishes, forming a unique display so far as London is concerned. The specimens on view include the turbot, sole, halibut, brill, pLuoe, flounder, dab, pilchard, shod, cod, haddock, whiting, hake.

In addition to the foregoing are to be seen a large collection of crabs, lobsters, crayfish, and a\ sters, together with a diversified display of sea-anemones. The Directors of the Brighton Aquarium are rendering valuable assistance in forwarding specimens of fish captured off the South Coast, so that many of the fish familiar to those ^rho have visited that popular place of amusement and instmotion will be found amongst the occupants of the marine tanks a^ South Kensington In order to intensify the interest attaching to the coileotion of live fioh, the Lords of the Committee of the Council on Eduratiou have again given their consent to a portion of the Buck- land Museum Collection being exhibited in the Aquarium. Thus a wide and diversified collection of interesting and edifying objects are presented to the public conjunctively with the live fish, all of which embrace an important and popular combination of exhibits relating to FiBh, Fisheries and Fish-culture.

The Asso- ciation being anxious to do everything in their pov/er to impart fresh information to the public, and at the same time further tho cultivation of Colonial fishes, readily acquiesced, and, as will be Boea, have provided the requisite accommodation not only for fishes but amphibious animals as ■woU. The new Aquarium is located in the western annexe parallel with the old one. It comprises twelve tanks for tropical freeli-v.ater fish, and a Luge habitat for turtlus. In addition to tiiese a hatchery has been erected *"or incubating the ova of these reptiles, which will be undertaken by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers during the season. Tho most complete arrangements have been made to ensure the success of this experiment, which is fraughi, with much interest. In contiguity to tho turtle tank is a miniature beach, upon which tho turtle may disport themselves when out of water. The water in each t;iuk is heated in accordance with the natural necessities of both tropical and inter-tropical fish, the apparatus for this purpose being so arranged as to be abso- lutely compilable to regulation. Tho water in tho turtle tank is salt, but that in tha other tanks is fresh. The various species exhibited will be referred to in a later edition. The tanks and other works have been designed by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers and constructed by Messrs. Dick liadclyffe & Co. FISH-CULTUEE DEPARTMENT. The Fish-Culture Section is situated in tho above Aquarium, and stretches as far as the Canadian Court. During tho winter and spring this department was the scene of lively activity on account of the hatching seaBon, when hundreds of thousands of fish eggs were successfully incubated, tho fry being transferred to public waters and to the Establishment of the Association at Delaford Park, Iver, Bucks. It is to be regretted that, owing to tho time of year, tho public were prevented from viewing tlie operations, which were of a very interesting and instructive character. In tills department there is a very fine display of mature Salmonidaj and yearlings, besides the various apparatus uud appliances used in the work of breeding and rearing fish. These apparatua consist of hatching boxes, tearing and feeding boxes, invented by tho Marquess of Exeter and Mr. W. Oldhura Cliambers. His Lordship also exhibits models of an oyster-culture establishment and fish ponds. The remaining exhibits are from the Buckland Itluscum Collection, and comprise a series of Canadian and American fish-culture appliances, and a model of Billin(;sgate Market, designed by Mr. J. L. Sayer, and a model of a fish-culture establishment by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers, F.L.S. A wide and diversified combination of exhibits relating i Fish, Fishing, and Fish Culture »re thus brought together in thio Section, which will doubtless prove highly interesting to the general public. Tlie Council of the National Fish-Culture Association are desirous of acknowledging the following speoial services that havo been r«ndereil in the Aquarium and Fifh Culture Depart- ment by Professor B lird, United States Commissionc r isf Fish and Fisheries ; Mr. William Burgess, Malvern Wells; Mr. J.

SI ( 3 ) THE EMPIRE OP INDIA. vrr^-Ji HISTORICAL RETROSPECT. ' '' '^^ ^^ Firat East India Company, 1600. — The English East India Company, which commenced and consolidated our Empire in the East, had its origin at the close of the 16th century in a difference with the Dutch regarding the price of pepper. The cost of that article had hitherto been about 3». per pound; in 1599 the Hollanders raised it against the English to 6». Thereupon the merchants of London held a meeting, with the Lord Mayor in the chair, to establish an association for the purpose of trading direct with India. On the Slst of December, 1600, the English East India Company was incorporated by Royal Charter, under the title of " The Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading to the East Indies," with 1 25 shareholders, and a capital of £70,000. This sum was raised to £400,000 when voyages to India were first undertaken on the joint-stock account. Those voyages were at first chiefly voyages of experi- ment, and profitless. The Portuguese would not allow any interference with their trade on the western coast of India, and hostilities ensued ; but in 1615 Captain Best with four English ships won a great victory over the Portuguese squadron at Surat, and succeeded in obtaining a treat} from the Emperor Jehangi, by which an ambassador from the Court of England was permitted to reside at the Court of the Great Moghul, and other privileges in furtherance of the Company's trading interests were accorded. The Ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe, was sent out immediately by King James I., and gained other trading ctn- cessions. James's successor being in need of money, gave a new Charter to a new Company of merchant adventurers, to the prejudice of the previously- existing rights granted by the Charter of Queen Elizabeth. For a time this caused the utmost disorder to trade. "Interlopers," as they were called, availed themselves of the 'opportunity to speculate upon their own account, and established a system of European piracy in the Indian Seas, which frightened and harassed the natives, and brought all legitimate trade to the very verge of ruin. The strong hand however of Cromwell was put forth in time to save utter commercial collapse. The rival companies combined ; the Navigation Act gave an impetus to fresh trade ; concessions were obtained from the European maritime powers which laid broader foundations for the commercial prosperity of Great Britain ; while the general credit of the English traders — notwith- standing certain "piratical" exceptions — for probity began to make a duo impression in India. Madras Founded, 1639. — The first territorial possession which the English icquired was a strip of land on the co;iBt below Masulipa+am, six miles long md one mile inland, purchased from one of the Hindoo rajahs of the Penin-ula la 1639. Here they built a factory with a surrounding wall, which, surmounted with some cannon, they called Fort St. George. In 1653 this settlement oi M-jdras was created an independent Presidency. ?2 Tlie Empire of India. Bombay Founded, 1668. -On the west coast the English had established a factory at Surat as early as 1612. In 1661 the island of Bombay was given by Portugal to Charles II. as part of the dowry of his bride, Catherine of Braganza ; but it was not made over until 1665. Three years afterwards the "Merry Monarch " sold his rights over it to the East India Company for an annual payment of £10. In 1687 the Company withdrew their factory from Surat, and Bombay became the seat of the Western Presidency. Calcutta Founded, 1698.— It was not until 1634 that the Company obtained permission from the Moghul Emperor to trade in Bengal, and in 1640 the first English factory was established at Hughli. In 1681 Bengal was declared a separate Presidency ; but the Company, although holding certain subordinate factories at Cossinbazar, Patna, Balasore, Malda and Dacca, had not yet acquired any territorial possessions as in Madras and Bombay. In 1696 the Nawab of Bengal ordered the confiscation of all the English factories. The merchants at Hughli retreated twenty-six miles down the river to a village amid the swamps. Here they laid the foundations of the original Fort William, and purchased from the son of the Emperor Aurangzeb the three villages of Sutanati, Kalikata, and Govindpur. This was the beginning of Calcutta, the city of palaces, and the capital of the British Empire in Hindustan. About this time another rival association, with a capital of two millions sterling, and calling itself the " Scotch East India Company," was incorporated, and issued licenses for free trade in the East. Over-trading was the result of this rivalry. The English markets were glutted with Indian produce, while the English manufacturers, feeling the eflfects of the excessive importation of calicoes and silks, petitioned for their prohibition, or for increased import duties. A compromise was, however, effected in 1708 through the arbitration of Earl Godolphin, and all the English Companies were finally amalgamated under the name of " The United Company of Merchants trading to the East Indies " under the charter granted by Queen Anne. The United East India Company.— Ijx 1744 war broke out between the Englioh and French in Europe. Dupleix was then governor of the French Settlement at Pondicherri, and Clive was a young writer at Madras. In 1746 that town surrendered to a French squadron, but by the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, two years afterwards, it was restored to the English. Dupleix, notwithstanding the existing European peace, endeavoured to destroy the English influence in India, but he was no match in the field for the young writer, who had then exchanged the pen for the sword, as the surprise and subsequent defence of Arcot by Clive proved. The story of the capture of Calcutta by Siraj-ud- Dowlah, and the tragedy of the Black Hole needs no repetition, Clivu, who wae at Madras, sailed at once with Admiral Watson's squadron, and speedily recovered the city, and on the field of Plassey gained a victory which has been accepted in history as fixing the date of the true foundation of the British Empire in India. The Nawab surrendered the tract of country round Calcutta known as the Twenty-Four I'arganas— an area of upwards of 800 square miles To this four years afterwards was added the grant of the three districts o Bardwdn, Midnapur, and Chittagong, estimated to yield a ret revenue of hal a miUibn sterling. In 1765, aft«r the revolt of Mir Kasim had been put down he Comirtiny obtained the fiscal administration of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa TJie Efnptr6 of India. The immediate successor to Clive was Warren Hastings, the first and greatest Governor-General of India. It was his ambition as an administrator to consolidate the territory acquired by his soldier predecessor. Ho found himself, however, forced into wars with the Mahrattas and with Mysore. Although he bettered the finances of Bengal to the extent of a million sterling a year, nlmoet tbe only territory acquired during his administration was the suzerainty of Benares, for of the conquests made in the Mahratta war, only Salsette and Elephanta and two other small inlauds were retained by the English. The first war with Mysore way concluded by a peace with Tipu in 1784 on the basis of a mutual restitution of all conquests. But on the close of the second Mysore war, in 1792, when Lord Cornwallis, then Governor-General, led the British Army in person with the Nizam of the Dcccan and the Mahratta chiefs as allies, Tipu was made to yield one half of his dominions to be divided between his conquerors, and to pay three millions fiterling indemnity. At the close of the 18th century the English power was paramount in Lower Bengal, and was further consolidated from the sea-board to Benares high up the Gangetic valley. In Southern India the Company's possessions were chiefly confined to the coast districts of Madras and Bombay. In 1798 Lord Mornington, better known as the Marquis of Wellesley, arrived in India as Governor-General, bringing with him the determination that England must be the one paramount power in the Peninsula, and that the native princes could only retain the insignia of sovereignty by surrendering their political independence. In 1801 the Nawab of Gudh, who had agreed to pay a subsidy of £760,000 a year for the aid of British troops, but who was ahvays in arrears, made over to the Company m lieu of a cash payment the district of Eohilkhand and the fertile tract between the Ganges and the Jumna, known as the Doab. This made the English territorial rulers as far as tiio centre of the present North-Western Provinces, and established their political influence in Oudh. In 1799 a third war broke out with Mysore, Tipu having been discovered intriguing with the French. At Seringapatam, where his capital was stormed by the English, he died fighting in the breach, and his territories, with the old State of Mysore, were portioned between the English and their allies, the Nizam of Haidarabad and the Mahrattas. About this time the Camatic and Tanjore were placed under direct British administration, thus constituting the Madras Presidency aluiost as it has existed to the present (lay. In 1800 the English torritorial influence iu the Bombay Presidency was increased by the grant of districts made over by the Peshwa of Poena— an act which so incensed the other Mahratta chiefs that it led them into war against the British. This second Mahratta War was made famous by the successes of Sir Arthur Wellesley and General Lake, the former winning the decisive victories of Assaye and Argaum and capturing Ahmednagar, and the latter heing equally successful in the pitched battles at Aligarh and Laswari, and taking the cities of Agra and Delhi. The French troops of Sindhia were scattered, and he himself to secure peace ceded all claims to the territory north of the Jumna, his companion in arms and misfortune, the Bhousld Kaja of Ndgpur, making submission too, and forfeiting Orissa to the English. This campaign brought the North-Westeru Provinces under British rale. d The Empire of India. The new districts were amalgamated with those previously acquired from the Nawab of Oudh into the " Ceded and Conquered Provinces." It was not until the succession of the Earl of Moira, better known as the Marquis of Hastings, to the Govomor-Generalship that there was any further increase to the Company's territorial possessions in the East ; but during the two wars in which ho embarked, viz., the campaign against the Gurkhas and that against the Mahruttas, these possessions wore considerably extended. The defeat of the former gave to the English the much- coveted hill sanitaria of Naini Tal, Massuri, and Simla, and that of the latter added the dominions of the Peshwa to the Bombay Presidency. The overthrow of the Pinddris, which took place in the same year (1818) secured the torritorj* which formed the nucleus ' of the present Central Provinces. At the same time the States of Rdjputami accepted the position of feudatories to the paramount British Power, the only exception being the district of Ajmere, made over by Daulat Rao Scindia in 1818, and the tract known as Mairwava, annexed in 1820. From this time, until the accession to power of Lord Dalhousie, the boundaries of the Britisli Empire in India remained substantially unchanged. •-.■"'' ' But a conquest in another direction was made in the meantime under Lord Amherst, who in 1823 had succeeded the Marquis of Hastings. The insolence of the King of Ava, accompanied by a series of encroachments upon the British districts of Bengal, forced tho Governor-General to declare v.ar against Burma in 1824. Tho first Burmese campaign lasted for two years, causing a loss to tho British of 20,000 lives, chiefly from disease, and an expenditure of £14,000,000, but giving England possession of the Provinces of Arakan and Tenasserim, the King of Ava abandoning also all claim to Assam. in 1833 the Charter of tho East India Company was renewed for twenty years, but on condition that the Company should abandon its trade entirely and permit Europeans to settle in tho countiy. Lord William Bentinck was then Governor-General, and his seven year.s»' rule was an epoch of administrative reform, signalised by only one act of annexation, that of the little territory of Coorg, which was taken under British sway " in consideration of the _ unanimous wish of the people." In 1842 Lord Auckland was superseded by Lord EUenborongh, during whose brief administration the great Province of Sind was annexed after the overthrow of the Ameers by Sir Charles Napier at the desperate battle of Miani. In June, 1844, Lord Ellenborough was recalled by the Court of Directors, and was succeeded by Sir Henry (afterwards Lord) Hardinge. At that time there was but one remaining Hindu power in India — that of the Sikh nation. In 1845 war was declared by the Governor-General, the Sikh army numbering 60,000 men with 150 guns having crossed the Sutlej and invaded British territory. "Within three weeks four pitched battles were fought, at Mudki, Ferozshahr, Aliw&l, and Sobraon, ending in the driving back of the invaders and the surrender to the British of Lahore and the Jalandhar Doab, or tract between the Sutlej and the Ravi, a British force being left to garrison the Punjab for eight years. In 1848 Lord Hardinge returned to England, and was succeeded by the " greatest of Indian Pro-consuls'* — Lord Dalhousie. During his eight years* rule as Governor-General the policy of annexation may have said to have culminated. The treacherous assasBination of two British officers at Multau led to a general The Empire of India. rifling in tho Punjab, and the Sikhb again took the field. M61tan foil before the British arms, and at tho battle of Gujrat tho Sikh ]K)wer waw utterly deetroyod. The Punjab was proclaimed a British Province on tlio 29th of March, 184U. Throe years afterwards fresh insults and ill-treatment towards Europeans by the King of Ava brought about another Burmese War. The whole Valley of the Irawadi, from Rangoon to Promo, was occupied in a few monthc by British troops, and as the King refused to treat or make reparation it was annexed under the name of Pagu to the Provinces of Arakan and Tenasserim, which the Company had acquired in 1826. The policy of Lord Dalhousio towards the native feudatory states was that misgovemment or lapse of natural successor should cause such state to I .pse to the British Government, on the maxim that tho good of tho governed should be the first consideration. Accordingly the State of Sdtdra in 1849, and that of Jhansi in 1853, became British territory, and on the death of the last of tho Mahrattu Bhonsliis of Nagpur, his territories were annexed, and Ijecame tho Central Provinces in 1853. In that year tho Nizdm of Haidar- ^biid was induced to hand over to British administration tho district known ns the Berars, as a territorial guarantee for hie arrears of subsidy. But tho culminating act of annexation was that of the Kingdom of Oudh in 1866— an act which had been resolved upon only after long and painful hesitation on the part of tho Court of Directors, and after repeated friendly warnings to the Oudh Government, which was one of tyranny and oppression to the people. The proclamation was issued on the loth of February, 1856, and Oudh was annexed to British territory without a blo^v or the shedding of a drop of blood. Lord Dalhonsie, who returned to England almost immediately, but only to die, was succeeded by his friend Lord Canning, whose Viceroyalty was clouded by the storm of the Mutiny, which burst forth in the Sepoy Army h. May, 1857. The fate of the British Empire in India— at stake for a moment —was decided by the valour of Englishmen— soldiers and civilians, aided by the loyalty of native soldiers and chiefs, who remained faithful to their "salt" and treaty obligations. But the Mutiny decided tho fate of the East India Company, which had then existed for two and a half centuries, and whose charter had been renewed for the last time in 1853, but only for a period at the discretion of Parliament. On the let of November, 1868, at a Grand Darbdr held at Alla- habad, Lord Canning announced that the Queen of England had assumed the entire government of India. On January 1st, 1877, at another and more magnificent Darhdr, held by Lord Lytton on the " Ridge " at Delhi, overlooking the ancient capital of the Moghals, and attended by all the great feudatory princes and chiefs throughout the land, Her Majesty was proclaimed Empress of all India. In 1786, when Lord Cornwallis landed at Calcutta as Governor-General, the British Empire in India comprised only Bengal and Behar in Eastern Hindustan, a very little area round Bombay in Western Dekhan and a somewhat larger area round Madras, in the Eastc. a Peninsula. In 1886 the British power is paramount over an area of more than a million and a half of square miles, containing upwards of two hundred and fifty millions of inhabitants. 8 AdverfiMmcnit.

INTRODUCTION. ' . The Colonial ami Indian Exliibition iH primarily doe to the. initiative of H.B.H. the Prince of Wales, whoHO earnest desire and object it has been that the series of Exhibitions should culminute finally in one groat Imperial display, of the resour jm and industries of the Empire of India, and of the Colonies that constitute what has been well called Greater Britain. His Koyal Highness, as Executive President of the Koyal Commission, at the first meeting of the Commissioners, held on March 30, 1885, said that the project was essen- tially one of a national and imperial cluaracier, differing in this respect from former exhibitionn, in which the elements of trade rivalry and profit largely predominated. At the B£ime meeting the Earl of Kimberley, the Secretary of State for India, indicated the purpose and method of the Exhibition in the following words : — " There is, perhaps, nothing more desirable for India, than that its products and industries should be well known in this country, although wo have much more to learn from than to teach them. Their beautiful manufactures which tbey have produced for so many ages have proved that there is a know- ledge of many branches of art, which it would be a thousand pities should be diminished under our rule. I have often been struck with the calamity of the introduction of our taste into Eastern arts and manufactures, for their taste is far Letter than ours, although we have no doubt engineering knowledge and skill, and the command of capital ; and I cannot conceive of any advantage greater than that tlie two countries should be brought together. The Government of India will undertake the collection and management to a great extent of what is to be sent to this countiy. You will see from the immense size of our Indian Empire and the position of the Government there, that it is much better tbis should be taken in hand by the Government." In order to thoroughly carry out the idea, so far as India is concerned, and to ensure a thorough and complete representation of her arts, industries, and resources, the Secretary of State for India not only guaranteed a sum of i'20,000 to the guai'antee fund, but also authorised the expenditure by the (rovemment of India of about 100,000 rupees, practically equal to about £7,500, in providing a collection of the natural history, ethnography, and social economy, administration, raw products, and primary manufactures of India. It was further arranged that the Imperial and provincial collections, which were being prepared for the projected Bombay Exhibition, should be forwarded to South Kensington. Mr. Buck, Secretary to the Government of India in the Eevenue and Agricultural Department, and Commissioner for India, describes the scheme tmder which the collections of exhibits provided by or through the agency of the Government of India' have been arranged. *' These collections, made with the assistance of the Grovernments of Presidencies and Provinces and of the 10 The Empire of India. Bulers of Native States, are distributod in three main divisions over the spaces allotted to the Government of India. The divisions are : — I. The Art-ware Courts, containing specimens of art-ware and ornamental fabrics from each Indian Province or State. II. The Economic Court, in which are placed economical products and exhibits of agriculture and ethnology from the whole Empire III. The Administrative Courts, con- taining exhibits cotitributed by administrative dopurtinents. The primary arrangement of the division which comprises the Art-ware Courts is geo- graphical, and not, as has hitherto been the case in all Exhibitions to which India has contributed, technical. In other words, Art exhibits arc primarily divided with reference to locality, and not with reference to classi- Hcation. It is true that, in the descriptiv^o labels attached to each exhibit, an uniform classification has been followed in accordance with a classified list, which will be found in the Special Catalogue, but the primary arrangement has reference to the place of manufacture, and not to the place wliich the exhibit occupies on the classified list. The cause of this departure from the usual system is to bo found in the circumstance that in India the Art manufactures of any one place are, as u rule, so ditferent in character from those of any other place that they ought not to bo confounded by being brought under the same group. It is no exaggeration to say that a particular kind of Art-ware is often manuficturod by ono or two lamilies only in a single locality. The absence, until a very recent date, of free communication throughout the country, the fact that the introduction of many Art trades in India is due to the importation by some ruling prince of ono or two workmen from a country beyond the frontier, or from another State or Province, and the custom, consequent on a caste system, of passing on every trade from father to son, are among the causes which have helped to maintain a practice so singularly conservative. ■^ The geographical arrangement which has been followed ?'n the Art-waro Courts has the further adva'uu'^o of indicating with considerable clearness the changing complexion and v,. . xcter of Art manufacture as we pass from ono part of India to another. It is easy to observe, for instance, the greater effect of Persian influence on many of the Art manufactures in the Punjab, when these are compared with those of Provinces further south ; this circumstance being due to the fact that the Punjab has always been from its position the first province to be overrun bj^ successive inroads of invaders from beyond the North- West Frontier. It is easy again to notice that many of the Art matiufaoturcs of large cities are of such a kind as could only have been supported by the patronage of a luxurious Court, such as that which existed under the Mogul Emperors at Delhi ; or to form the conclusion from an examination of the Art THRESHER & GLENNY, EAST INDIA AND G E N E R A I.

The plan of the Indian Section shows that it has been arranged on the lines laid down by Mr. Buck, viz,, a series of Art Courts, c Court devoted to Economic Products and Agricultural and Ethnological Exhibits, and a space set apart to give some idea of the several chief departments of Grovemment. There is also a Court occupied by private Indian exhibitors, and another for the display both to the eye and to the taste of Indian teas, coffees, and tobaccos. Beyond and independent of these is the magnificent structure which will be known as the Indian Palace. The Vestibule is draped with the most superb examples of the finest chintzes of Kashmir, and from Kot Kamalia in the Punjab. The care and taste of Mr. Pardon Clarke, and the ready co-operation of the Maharaja of Kashmir, secured the special manufacture of these unequalled fabrics. Bound the vestibule stand on guard portrait-znodels of representative soldiers and native officers of the Indian army, showing the dress, arms, and accoutrements of the principal native raiments of the Indian Empire. Lieut.-Col. Coker, under whose supervision the models were made by order of the Military Department of the Government of India, has furnished a most interesting detailed list of the individual soldiers, and the history of the twenty-five regiments represented. The stalwart Lance- Naick of the Governor-General's Body Guard, contrasting with the sturdy little Gurkha, an example of the brave men who fought side by side with our own gallant Highlanders — the Bengal infantry and cavalry, the Madras and Bombay armies, the Sikh soldiery once our deadly foes, but who, from the mutiny down to the Soudan campaign, have stood side by side with the English soldiers in rivalry of faithful and valiant service — all are here represented. From this stretch away the Economic Court on the left, the Administrative Gallery, and the Courts of Private Exhibitors and of Teas and Tobaccos on the right ; and in front is the entrance to the successive Art Courts, with their bewil- dering display of Indian splendour and cunning handicraft. The order naturally adopted will be to take the Art Coui-ts first. That, too, will be the order observed in these pages ; then the Imperial Court of T ionomio Products, to be followed in order by the Administrative Galleries, the Court of Private Exhibitors, and the Court of Teas and Tobaccos.

It is impossible to do more than indicate the principal groups, and direct attention to the more prominent objects in these groupa. The Bpecjal catalogue of the Indian Section must be referred to by those who wish to make a thorough examination of the large and varied col- lection which has been got together by the Government of India through the instrumentality of special officers, appointed in each province or state. Much has br -n purchased, much has been contributed by the munificence of the native rulers and aristocracy. The reasons for adopting the geographical arrangement, in lieu of grouping together the examples of the same branch of art industry from every centro, in a comparative display have been fully given in the preface. It may, however, bo useful to indicate somewhat roughly the places or districts which hold a higher place than others in the principal art industries. I'or gold and silver work the Punjab has ever held a high reputation. Separate from it in the Exhibition will be found the exquisite parcel-gilt, silver, and chased gilt work for which Kashmir is distinguished. Lucknow in the North- Western Provinces was formerly famous for its vessels of mixed gold and silver, and also for parcel-gilt silver, similar to that of Kashmir. In Bengal, Dacca is at present the seat of the manufacture of excellent gold and silver plate. The goldsmiths and silversmiths of Gujerat, especially of Dholka, Virumgam, and Ahmedabad, of Gutch and of Sind must be looked for in the Bombay Court. The Madras gold and silversmiths still retain their ancient manipulative dexterity in pierced and hammered plate, and the characteristic swami work is well known. The iiniversal use of sacred and domestic utensils in brass and copper makes the Avidespread manufacture of such articles an absolute necessity. 1\\ the Punjab, however, Karnul, Amritsar, and Iiahore take the lead in this metal work. In the North- Western Provinces, Benares is first in India for the multitude and excellence of the sacred images, and all sorts of brass work, both religious and domestic, which will be found in this Court. In Bengal tiiere are several places noted for their metal work. Every kind of domestic utensil in brass and bell-metal is made especially at Murshidabad, Muldah, and Shahabad. At Kagniari in the Dacca Division, bi-ass, iron, and white metal work are produced on a large scale. Homeliness of form dis- tinguishes the work of the braziers of JSagpore and Chanda, and other places in the Central Provinces. In ttie Bombay Presidency, Nasik, Poena, and Ahmed- abad are foremost for their copper and brass work. In the Madras Presidency the brass work ot Madura and Tanjore surpasses all other work, not onlj' in the South but in the whole of India. The beautiful damascening in gold, called koft work, is cairied on in Kashmir at Gujerat, Sialkot, in the Punjab, and also in Hyderabad in the Deccan.

X5 metals is called, from Bidar in Hyderabad, its original home, is said to have been invented there by one of the Hindoo kings. Purniah and Mnrshidabad in Bengal, and Lucknow in the North-West Provinces, are the most notable seats of this art industry. Costly ornamented arms are made at Lahore, Sialkot in the Punjab, and also in Kashmir. Monghyr in Bengal supplies also good arms. Nagpore in the Central Provinces is noted for its steel weapons. Tumkur in the Madras Presidency has a hundred and twenty forges at work, employed in the manufacture of arms and cutlery, and " good swords, spears and daggers " are also made at Kutwar and Yizianagram, the superbly- mounted arms of the latter place being chiefly used in pageantry. ,..-,4, In jewellery, Kashmir and the Punjab produce the finest gemmed and enamelled ornaments. The old court jewellers of the imperial and royal cities of Delhi and Lucknow, though by no means as prosperous as their forefathers, still maintain, though in diminished measure, their hereditary reputation. In Bengal, the exquisite filigrain work of Cuttack, Murshidj^bad, and Dacca, and the gold and silver jewellery of Monghyr are well known. In the Bombay Presidency, Ahmedabad and Surat produce in the highest perfection the massive and archaic Gujarati golden ornaments, and Sawantwadi produces the best repousse gold jewellery in mythological designs. Tumkur in Mysore, Yizianagram, Vizegatapara, and Tanjore, are all famous for their gold and silver ornaments, and the Trichinopoly chains, necklaces and bracelets, are universally known. The best enamelling on gold is produced in Rajputana, especially at Jeypore, but the Sikh enamellers of the Punjab, from whose' ancestors the art was learned, still maintain the excellence of their work, especially in silver enamelling. The Indian lacquer work, which is now common enough in English houses, falls into diflferent divisions, both according to place and character. The lacquered papier-maohe work of Kashmir holds the highest place; then the Punjab boxes, distinguished by their purple lac, the Eajputana boxes, the Bareilly black lacquered furniture, and the lacquered work of Kamul, are all liverse. Admirers of sandalwood carving will find the best examples, differing in design and character, iu the Bombay and in the Mysore and Coorg Courts, rhe Surat and Bombay work is in low relief with foliated ornaments, while the Uunedabad work, while in flat relief, is deeply cut and the subjects are mixed, rhe Kanara and Mysore work is in high relief, with mythological subjects. Wood-carving, especially architectural, and ivory-carving are practised ironghout India.

In every Court the textile fabrics, whether in cotton or silk, will be found, and it is impossible to do othervnse than quote the summary description taken from Dr. Forbes Watson's " Classification of Cotton Piece Goods," as given in the '* Industrial Arts of India." Among piece goods the first place is given to Dacca muslin, abratoan or " running water ;" hafthowa, " woven air ;" suhhanam, " evening dew ;" all plain white webs, the poetic names of which convey to the reader a truer idea of their exquisite fineness and delicacy, and of the estimation in which they are held, than whole pages of literal description. These fine muslins are all classed under the generic term of mulmul khaa, or " kings' muslins," Plain muslins are made not only at Dacca and Patna, and other places in Bengal, but also at Hyderabad in the Dakhan, and at Cuddapah and Ami in Madras. Striped muslins, or dorias, are made at Dacca, Gwalior, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Ami, and other places. Checkered muslins, or charhana, are chiefly made at Dacca, Nagpur, Ami, and Nellore ; and figured muslins, jamdani, at Dacca. Dr. Forbes Watson describes them as the chef-d'onuvre of the Indian weaver. At Calcutta embroidered muslin is called chikan (needle work). Muslins woven with coloured thread, and striped, checked, and figured, are made at Benares, Arni, Nellore, and Chioacole in Madras ; printed muslins at Trichinopoly, and gold and silvdr printed muslins at Jaipur and Hyderabad in the Dakhan. The process by which this mode of decoration is accomplished is by stamping the desired pattern on cloth with glue ; the gold or silver leaf, as the case may be, is then laid on, and adheres to the glue. When dry, what has not rested on the glue is rubbed off. In Persia, in the rare Ispahan chintzes, the gold is sprinkled in the form of dust on the pattern previously prepared with size. The Calicoes. — Dr. Forbes Watson classifies as (a) plain calicoes, bleached and unbleached, made all over India ; (6) calicoes woven with coloured thread, comprising first, susis and hesis, striped cloth of brilliant hue, made largely in the Punjab and Sindh, and also at Surat, Palamcottah, Cuddalore, and other places in Madras, and used chiefly for trouserings ; second, also striped, manufactured in Nipal and Pegu and used for skirts ; and third, checks and tartans, used also for skirts and petticoats, and manufactured at Ludian^h, Baroach, Tanjore, Cuddalore, Masulipatam, and other places in Madras ; and (c) printed calicoes (chintzes, pintadoea) ; fiist, on a white ground manufactured at Fattehgarh, Masulipatam, and Arcot, &c. ; second, printed on a coloured ground manufactmed at Shikai-pur, Aj^ra, Fattehgarh, Bijapur, Bellary, Ai-cot, and Ponneri in Madras ; and third, the celebrated palampores, or " bed-covers," oi Masulipatam, Fattehgarh, Shikarpur, Hazara, and other places, which in poin of art decoration are simply incomparable. x\s art works, they are to be classec Don't buy an ENQINE of any kind, for any work or any Country, without seeing HO 11^ W BY 'W KWClIWKEBi CATJkXOOIJlbi, with full pariiculars and Illustrations of Portable and Semi-Fortable, Simple and COMPOtlND Vertical and Horizontal ES^GINES and BOILERS; Irrigating Plant ; Qenera Farming Maohinery» dec.

Lastly, Dr. Forbes Watson classes together the miscellaneous cotton fabrics, chiefly made for Anglo- Indian use, such as the pocket-handkerchiefs of Nellore, the damask and diaper table-cloths, napkins and towels of Madras, Salem, Masulipatam, Ouddalore and Baroach, and the counterpanes and quilts of Karnul, Hyderabad in the Dekhan, and Ludianah. In silk manufactures the gorgeous and beautiful hinJehaha and gold brocades come from the looms of the holy Benares of the North- Western Provinces, Murshidabad, the whilom capital of Bengal proper, and still the residence of a titular Nawab, and Ahmedabad ; while Surat in the same Presidency comes close upon them with its productions, so much prized in Further India. The poetical names given to some of these fabrics, such as " moon and stars," " ripples of silver," " sunshine and shade," " pigeons' eyes," " nightingales' eyes," " peacocks* necks," suggest a marvellous variety of richness and beauty. The silks mixed with cotton which are designed to assist devout Mussulmans in obeying the precept of the Koran, are made in the Punjab and Sind, at Hyderabad in the Dekhan, at Tanjore and Trichinopoly. Silk-weaving fe still a prosperous industry in the Punjab, and in several divisions of Bengal. In the Madras Presidency silk of rich texture and costly pattern is made at Bangalore, and throughout Mysore silk is manufactured ; but these will come under considera- tion in their resj)ective Courts. Carpets. —It would be tedious to notice the carpets which drape the walls, as they separately occur. A few general remarks may suffice. The Indian Carpets are of two kinds, cotton and woollen. The former are known as daris, or durries, and aatrangis or rugs and carpets. These fabrics, of which examples occur throughout the Courts, are the original form of Indian carpets. Their patterns, consisting of stripes usually of blue and chocolate, or red or white, with occasional variations by the introduction of squares and diamond shapes, and even gold and silver ornamentation, are of the oldest Indian art designs. They are chiefly made in Bengal and Northern India, but the manufacture, as will be seen in the various Courts, is in nowise confined to the territories included under these heads. The Pile carpets came in with the Mussulman invaders. The principal seats of the manufacture by the regular weavers were around the Mahommedan centres, and are enumerated by Sir George Bii dwood as Cashmere, the Punjab and Sind, Agra and Mirzapur, Hyderabad and Warangal in the dominions of the Nizam, the Malabar Coast, Masulipatam, and the Coromandel Coast. Velvet pile carpets were also made at Benares and Murshidabad, and silk pile at Tanjore, Salem, and Warangal. The exquisite design and harmonious colouring of the Indian carpets of olden time are incontestable, and need no further praise.

This has been attributed to the intro- duction by the Government of India, about twenty j-ears ago, of carpet-weaving as an occupation for the prisoners in the Indian Jaiis. The carpets exhibited not only in the Art Courts but also in the Court of private exhibitors, are almost all wrought on the jail looms. It must bo admitted that dining the first years of the now industry, the productions of the jail looms, both by the xise of unsuitable aniline dyes, and the ill-ndvised introduction of European patterns or fancied imi)rovement8 on the native designs, merited in i great degree the oppro- brium heaped upon them by connoisseura in Indian art. < v- The influence of the Government Schools of Art at Bombay, Lahoie, and Madras, is being steadily exercised to restore and uphold the standard of pure colours and true Oriental designs. A great improvement is noticeable in many of the carpets selected for exhibition, especially those chosen by Mr. Purdon Clarko, CLE. Among these may be specified the copies of the Jeyporo Durbar carpets made at Agra and Delhi jails, and the copies of the carpets in the Asa Mahal Palace at Bijapur made at Poona and Tanna jails. Tho Velloro carpets are also to be commended, as well as those of Ijahore and Ajniere jails, where good copies are made from the Jeypore Durbar carpets. The free weavers of Warangal spoil the excellence of pattern and weaving by aniline dyes. The necessary influence of European, and mainly of English commerce, must doubtless affect with change, not only the produf'ts of Indianlooms, but other branches of native art. The Art Ware Courts throughout exemplify this, although the collection of art objects mude in India by Mr. Clarke presents examples and types of tlie best modes, and justifies the claim made on behalf of the Exhibition to be more than a gathering of commercial wares, however beautiful and costly, and to afibrd a thorough survey of the highest, as well as the more ordinary products of the arts of India, . • -■"-'■■• The musical iustrumcnts, which will be found in almost every Court, are best represented in the complete collection sent by Raja Sir Sourindro Mohun Tagore, Kt., Mus. Doc, CLE. to the Bengal Court, and described by him in the Special Catalogue. The pictorial contributions will be found in the gallery of the Royal Albert Hall. , The Art Ware Courts are entered through p, gateway, contributed by His Highness the Maharaja of Jeypore, and carved by his subjects, The gateway is surmounted by a Nakarkhana, or Drum^house, such as is usually found over the entrance to royal residences or temples in which musicians play at stated intervals, and in regular order, certain tunes in honour of the sovereign or god.

Above tbe screen, and to break tho monotony of a horizontal lino, are placcil in the centre a perforated imitation of a nearly semi-circular fan-light, and at the two ends a couple of small turrets surmounted by cupolas. Tho stylo of architecture cannot be exactly defined, as tho screen in reality is a mixtui-o of copiod of parts of several local buildings, fitted to the dimensions required ; thus the pillars, false arch, and architrave are taken from the interior of the Khan was Mahal (now used as the Residency) : the perforated work is a copy of similar works in the masjid at tho VVazipur gato of the city ; the central bit is borrowed more or less from a semi-circulai* fanlight in the city, and the cupolas on tho turrets placed at tho ends are similar to those used to cover portions of the palace. Generally speaking, the screen is a representation of local archi- tecture in details, but not as a whole. It is made throughout of red sandstone procured from the celebrated quarries in the immediate vicinity of the city of Karauli, and has been constructed entirely by local stonemasons and stone- carvers, under the general supervision of the State Public Works Department The Jodhpur screen is of carved teak wood ; it was designed and made at Jodhpur by Jodhpur artists and workmen The architecture is the modified Delhi adopted in Rajputana. The front of tho Ulwar screen consists of panels of white marble, perforated and carved in relief, fitted in a frame-work of black maible and teak wood, and supported upon three boantifully-carved white marble pillars, 8 ft. high each. A decorative design of glass-work, on which the crest and arms of His Highness the Maharao Eaja are emblazoned, surmoujits this portion of the screen. The side portions of the screen consist of panels of red sandstone carved on both sides. The designs of the pillars and panels are taken from carvings existing in the Ulwar Palace, and are of pure Hindu style. The glass-work decoration is also taken from the Ulwar Palace, three rooms in which are entirely ornamented with work of this description. The screen is altogether of Ulwar workmanship, and the marble is from the celebrated quarries of Makrana Sajputana. The screen for tho Kotah section of the Eajputana Court consists of a front and aide piece made of Sbisham wood {Dalbergia Siau) and inlaid with ivory, This style of work is much practised in the town of Etawah in the Kotah State The architectural design is Hindu, and has been copied from old buildings ii the City of Kotah.

In some cases the entire work is of cut stone or of marble. This model is carved in wood and painted white to represent the original typo M nearly as possible. The Bikanir ornamental screen is a wooden structure, oonstructed to show to the best advantage a stylo of decoration applicable to wood, stone, earthen- ware, ivory, and glass, and believed to bo peculiar to Bikanir, of which the following is a brief description :— On the surface of the wood, which had beeu previously well scrubbed with liquid clay and allowed to dry, the outlines of 4 flower pattern were stencilled with a bag of powdered charcoal through perforated paper. Successive layers of liquid clay were then applied with small squirrel's-hair brushes within the outlines of the pattern, each layer being allowed to dry before the next application, until a raised surface bringing out the stalks, leaves, and petals with sufficient distinctness had been produced. The whole surface was then fixed by a coat of paint, and when this was dry gold leaf was applied over all. The ground-work, black, with a red border, on the portion intended to face the central avenue and the adjacent Courts of Central India and Ajmero, and red with a black border in the interior of the Bikanir bays, was then painted in, the flower pattern standing out in gilt relief. • Immediately on entering the Jeyporo Court is seen a collection of carefully executed models representing the variouij inhabitants of Joypore, and having two full-sized figures, one of an armed Rajput and the other of a royal domostio standing as it wore on guard on either side. Decorative art as applied to architecture, which will throughout the Art- ware Courts be shown in ever-varying forms, according to the special country or district to which it belongs, U nowhere more remarkably displayed than iu the ancient cities of the land of the Eajas or Eajputana. The white marble from Jodhpur and the red sandstone of Bhartpur were the marbles of which the Taj-Mahal, the Dehli and ^gra forts and mosques and the Fatehpur Sikri palaces were constructed. The exquisite coloured marbles of Jeypore and Ajmere and the limestone of Jaisalmir were employed in decorating them. In this Court will bo found examples from the diflferent States, not only in the special portions of the screens contributed, but also in trellis-work screens from Karauli, and the ornamental sandstone screen work of Dholpur.

The silversmiths in the sorvico of H.H. the Maharaja of Ulwar, have manu- factured a group of Npecimcns of the filigrainod and chased work. They include a silver chuskidan, that is a Rajput wine l)ottlo and glaHS stand, a khasdan or b"tel holder, a surahi or water bottle, a milk jug and two piirs of bracelets. Jodhpur oontrilmtcs ton objects in gold and silver work and jewellery. One of these (3023), the timnii/a, or neck ornament, is made of gold and silver of different shapes, and worn by almost every Hindu woman in Marwar. Next to it is the tara or anklet, a silver foot ornament, chiefly used by Brahraans as a marriage present to a bride. Amongst the gold and silver plate can bo noticed a wine-holder used by Kajputs when drinking. " ' . ' ' '.' A special exhibit which comes under the head of jewellery is the collection of garnets, and different ornaments, such as necklaces and bracelets, formed of thorn, from Jeypore. The pieces of garnet are dng in quarries in various places. Some also are collected from river beds. They vary from j\ to 1 in. in diameter. The colours range from the deepest rea work are worthy of notice. ,- The Bikanir artists excel in wood-carving, door frames costing as much as Es. 100. The ivory-carving and lacquered ware are also good. The wood- carving contains wooden models of idols, elephants, camels, horses, and of an oil press, a countiy cart, a camel plough, a churn, spinning wheel, bullock cart and a well. The model of an elephant carriage from Ulwar and the rotu, or bullock carriage, from Jeypore are exact reproductions, with their curious and cumbrous arrangements of guards for the wheels and the rich ornamentation with embroidered cushions and covers of those in ordinary use by the princely and wealthy families. The arms rud armour of the collection lent from Ulwar for exhibition, comprise both ancient f>nd modem weapons, offensive and defensive. Among them the most j-cmarkable are— a very long sword with a species of double handle, which is v. ' by native chiefs as a support when sitting, the steel poniard with gold work representing in alto-relievo the pictvires of Hindu gods and goddesses, the shields, ancient and modern, made of rhinoceros skin with gold and steel bosses, and the gtnol shields with koft or damascened work. From Jodhpur also comes a supply of shields and daggers, and numerous examples of the Sirohi swords which are famous in Eajputana, the prices varying according to the quality of the steel and the workmanship of the sword hilts, which are generally wrought with silver and gold, and range from Rs. 2 to Rs. 100. In brass, copper, and mixed metals, the Jeypore School of Art displays excellence of work, but the absence of any detailed list prevents any special comparison of the different articles exhibited. A curious lamp, made of brass or iron, so constructed that it will roll on the ground without upsetting the oil-box or the light being put out, is sent from Jodhpur. The glazed pottery of Rajputana is not given a foremost rank amongst the exemplars of that art, such as belong to the historical glazed earthenware of Madura, Sindh, and the Punjab. The painted pottery of Kotah and. the gilt pottery of Amroha are mentioned in the •' Industrial Arts of India," as among the principal varieties of Indian fancy pottery made ptirposely for exportation. In Eajputana, cotton is woven everywhere, and the printed muslins and chintzes of Jeypore and Jodhpur are prized all over Ilindostan for the purity and brilliance of their dyes.

A detailed account of the varieties of cloth manufactured in Ajmere-Mhairwara gives a description of the aeven varieties of cloth manufactured, which, with variations, may bo used as a classification of the different cotton stuffs manufactured throughout Eajputana. First, pagria, or turbans, which are generally softer or lighter in texture than other native cloths, the ordinary dimensions being thirteen yards long by ten inches wide. Those made from native thread are used by the mi-al population. From English thread are made fine specimens of native mualins, into which gold thread is often tastefully introduced. Second, iakri or reza, a coarse cloth jaade from native thread, and used by the rural population for garments on i'.ccount ot its durability and cheapness, also extensively for calico printing, bed covers and floor cloths. Third, septa, a kind of coarso muslin, which is, however, seldom made or sold in the district, because the machine-made muslins of Manchester and Bombay have entirely superseded it, and the general demand for Manchester cloths is driving out cloths worked with English thread. The fourth, khea, is a kind of checkered fabric, chiefly remarkable as exhibiting a different kind of weaving from that of the ordinary hand-woven clcths of Ajmere. The pattern is generally plain. The thread of the weft is entwined alternately with that of the warp, so that the make of the fabric appears diagonal or crosswise across the fabric, instead of the thread crossing at right angles. Of the three other sorts, one is only a variety of the takri cloth. Another called aim, is a narrower cotton fabric used only by Mussulman women. It is distinguished by having stripes lengthwise down the piece of a different colour from the groundwork. The commoner patterns are dark blue with white stripes, or blue with red stripes. The last ailed charkana, is the same all over— a kind of check variation of the preceding, with varieties in black and white check or rod and blue. All native Indian fabrics are either plain cloths woven with the single thread, cloths with a longitudinal stripe, or cloths with diagonal patterns. The Ajmere cotton prints are far inferior to those of Jeypore, both in purity and brilliancy of dyes. The favourite colour is dark red, and varieties of colours are obtained by the use of indigo and turmeric. The cloth is damped and stretched, and wooden blocks, on which the floral patterns project in strong relief, are charged with colour, and then pressed down on the cloth. Tinsel printing, of which the specimens exhibited are by no means attractive, is also common in the district. The patterns used in colour printing are almost always variations of the same design, the ground being coloured black, red, yellow, or azure blue, with striped or spotted border, and the field covered with imitations of plantain fruit, surrounded by small squares of various colours.

It is principally disposed of wholesale for export to Nimach and other places in India. Kotah also exhibits dyed cloths. The process cx>nsist8 of first dyeing the cloth, and secondly producing a pattern by tying up with cotton threads small portions of the cloth in pieces about the size of a threepenny piece, and often much smaller. The tying is so tightly and thoroughly dono that when dipi)ed in the second dye these spots retain their original colour. Very intricate patterns of pagodas, trees, animals and fruits are produced with three different colours. Each portion of the pattern that is required of one colour has to be knotted at one time. It is then dyed, and the second set of knots tied, and so on. The effect is almost that of crape when the pattern is a close one. Washing takes away, however, this effect and renders the cioth quite flat. The Ulwar embroidery in gold and silk thread is much admired for the designs and the fineness of the workmanship, a good examfjle being shown in the angharkhat or coat, exhibited in the Silk Ware Court. The Bikanir embroidery in gold and silver is shown on a number of exhibits, which aro described as botlices, jacket ~ ''ndshawls of dancing girlw, two being specimens of hair embroidery worked upon silk. The Shergarh embroidered cloths com- prise rugs, saddle cloths and elephant trap|tings made of English broadcloth, embroidered with floss silk of various colours. Saddle-cloths are the principal article, and are generally made for local sale '^ >.-, . Of woollen fabrics, the Bikanir serges aro considered the best in Bajpntana.

Four female figures appear to hold up the frames and the pil!ar is surrounded by another figure. Jewellery. — The enamels of Rutlam are produced by the same process as those of Partabgarh, elsewhere mentioned, differing only that the ground colour is blue instead of green. The work of the gold and silver smiths of Jhansi is seen in the gold and silver rings, which are of exceedingly light and fine workmanpLip. But the best assortment is from Indore, and contains very good saviples of native ornaments. Some of the bracelets are of superior make. Of the gold and silver plate the best are the salvers in silver repousai work ornamented with gold from Rampura in the Indore State. The bracelets, armlets, and necklets made of base metal, chiefly of zinc, from Bewah, deserve careful examination, many of them showing very beautiful designs. An old and curious set of chessmen in brass from Charkhari, a spherical lamp of perforated brass work, which can be rolled along the ground when lighted, and a lock containing a double-barrelled pistol from Chhatarpur, the brass pinnacles from Butlam which decorate a portion of the screen, and different vessels of hookahs, &c., in white metal from Ujjain, are illustrative of the special manufactures of those places. ' - ■» Amongst the arms is an antique sword from Charkhari. It is said that a Baja of Charkhari used to tie the head and four legs of a camel together and cut them through with one blow of this weapon. Of modern arms, a beautifully wrought inlaid shield, with three daggers fastened to it to serve as offensive weapons, is from Datia. A gold damascened sword and axe is from Fauna, adjacent to which town lie the celebrated diamond mine^. A variety of small wares in the ordinary lacquer-work is contributed from Bewah. This universal Indian manufacture will be noticed moro at length in other Courts where there is an opportunity of drawing attention to more examples. T\iany of the designs, of which there is a considerable variety, are pleasing, and the same may be said of the Indore bangles. Textiles. — Foremost amongst the cotton fabrics stand the muslins, turbans, loin-cloths, &c., manufactured at the once important but now insignificant town of Chanderi. These are the finest cloths manufactured in Central India. The jnuslin is especially fine and is usually loft white ; and the borders of silk and gold lace are handsome and effective. In mme of the articles the silk is coloured differently on either side. Almost equal to these are the Maheswar muslins from Indore. The fine yellow cloths from Sarangpur in Dewas are highly esteemed in Central India for their excellence. The yellow colour is the natural tint of the cotton. Ujjain and Mandawav in the Gwalior State have furnished a large assortment of stamped cloths of good quality with a great yariety CHAS. DAY 8l CO., 17, Water Lane, London, E.G.

BOMBAY COURT. , r. The Art Ware Court of Bombay has been most carefully filled with the best specimens of the manufactures of that great Presidency. The area directly under the Bombay Government contains 124,134 square miles, and a population of lei millions. The numerous Native States add to these totals 73,000 square miles, with 7 millions of inhabitants. The groat city of Bombay, which in numbers and commercial enterprise claims the title of Prima in India, exceeds Calcutta and Madras in actual population, and in point of numbers ranks as the second city in the British Empire. Besides these, the state of Baroda, which contains 8,570 square miles, with a population of 2,185,000, is represented. The Screen. — The screen, the general design for which was made by Mr. Griffiths, the Superintendent of the Bomliay School of Art and Secretary to the Bombay Committee for the London Exhibition, consists of two lengths, each 80 ft long, made up of eight open bays, 10 ft. wide. In addition to these are the four ends, each 12 ft. wide, the total length of the screen being 208 ft., with a uniform height of 10 ft. The design of the screen has been made with a view to illustrate as fully as possJMe the characteristic wood-carving of the Presidency. The sections belonging to the Boyal Commission, to His Highness the Gaikwar of Baroda, and to His Highness the Bao of Cutch, were executed by native artizans under the superintendence of Mr. Wimbridge, of the East India Art Manufacturing Company, Bombay. The carved details for the Boyal Commission and Cutch sections have been selected by Mr. Wimbridge from Mahafiz Khan, Shapur, Dastar Khan, and Rani Sipri mosques at Ahmedabad, and the detail for the Baroda section from various houses in Surat. The Bhavnagar section, which comprises four of the richest bays, was constructed in Bhavnagar itself, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Proctor Sims, the state engineer, assisted by a very intelligent native mistry. The details of the work are taken from the old palace, and from some of the old houses in the town. The Junagar section was likewise carried out locally by Dalpat Kathtt. The work is executed in teak. The Bhavnagar portion of the screen will be generally admitted to be the Sm JOHK BENNETT, 65 & 64, Ghe^pside, London.

The details, selected from the ancient mosques of the city of Ahmedabad, once the greatest in Western India, and stated by the Govern- ment Gazetteer to have been, from 1573 to 1600, the handsomest town in Hindostan, perhaps in the world, and which Sir Thomas Eowe declared to bo " a goodly city as large as London," illustrate the action of Mahommedan influence uiion the Hindu style. The mosques from which the details are taken, and which also furnish the patterns for the two windows in perforated brass which are exhibited, were buUt towards the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries. The Koyal Commissioners have taken plaster casts of the panels and pillars in this screen for the decoration of nearly the whole of the private Exhibitors' Court, which is a signal testimohy to the beautiful and remarkably effective design and workmanship exliibited in it. The Baroda Pigeon House. — The Baroda Pigeon House, a lofty structure most elaborately carved, attracts attention, and well deserves its position. It must not be supposed that this Pigeon House, which is presented by H.H. the Gaikwar of Baroda, is an example of poultry farming, or represents any such use in domestic economy, as the dove-cotes in our homesteads. In Baroda and throughout Gujarat the inhabitants erect pigeon houses for feeding not only pigeons but parrots, sparrows, and all birds living in or near their towns. The Gujaratis consider it a sin to kill any animal, and to feed them is held to be a groat act of charity. Pigeon houses therefore are erected by the wealthy natives from motives of piety. Several other specimens of wood-carving have been sent from Gujarat. Carved blackwood furniture, the old clumsy carving, the style of which was obviously derived from the Dutch, and was utterly inapplicable to chairs, couches and tables, is seen to better advantage in the 'cabinets and picture frames both from Ahmedabad and from the Katnagiri School of Indiist'y. The establishment started at Ahmedabad by Mr. Lock- wood de Forest, an American gentleman, for the construction of carved furni- ture which is exported to New York, has given a considerable stimulus to this art industry, and, as will be seen by the specimens exhibited, turns out articles of good design and careful Pnish. The wood-carving for domestic architecture is still carried on at Surat, and there are several workshops where doors, shutters and cupboards may bo bought ready made. A carved doorway furnishes a specitnon of this class. From Bhavnagar also comes a large marble screen o^ elaborate design, and a fair example of modern carving in stone. It forms part of the cenotaph or sculptured marble chhatri designed by Mr. GriflSths, and which is now being erected in memory of the deceased' wife of H.H. the Thakur Saheb. The wood-carving as used in ordinary houses is well illustrated by a carved HOLLAND'S New "PARADOX " Double Gun, Patent 12 BOBE.

The door is particularly well carved, but the brackets and other portions of the decoration are Europeanised in stylo, and do not show any particular exce]lonce of work. The handles of the door deserve careful examination. Inlaid Work. — The well-known Bombay and Surat inlaid workboxes made of sandal- wood, and decorated with ivory, blackwood or metal, are imported in large quantities, and too well kno^vn to need any description. The migration of the Paisi artisans of Surat to Bombay established there this handiwork, which originally came from Shiraz to Sind, and thence to Gujarat. The Bombay Com- mittee has acted very wisely in sending only a few of the best specimens, both on account of their liability to be spoiled by exposure to damp, and )ecau8e the ordinary class are common objects in the shops of London. The Ratnagiri School of Industry sends a largo cabinet inlaid with ivory and staghorn. The Poona clay figure? are distinguished by their modelling and lifelike representation of the variety of races inhabiting the Bombay Presidency, each race being distinguished by its dress and its turban. They differ from Lucknow models in that the dresses are composed of actual pieces of cloth, ■'y'-*" ro ' The glazed tiles, which have been manufactured at Hala in Sind, and repro- duce the work which adorns the interior and exterior of the ancient mosques and tombs at Hyderabad in Sind, are sent to the Exhibition by Colonel Trevor, the collector of that district. Pottery is still produced, although not to the extent that it was in the days of the Amirs, when glazed tiles of exquisite colour and design were extensively produced for lining the mosquss and tombs which are now in ruins. The pottery now produced is very beautiful: the tradition is that a Chinese traveller was induced to settle in Sind in order to start the ceramic manu- facture, and that the present potters, who arc all Mussuiuians, are either his direct or collateral descendants. They now fonn a distinct community, called " Kashigars." The difficulty of transjwrting their fragile wares from the far interior of Sind has caused Mr. Terry to start a manufactory in Bombay under the supervision of two Kashigars. Except the glazed pottery from Ahmedabad, all such ware exhibited in the Bombay Court was made in this establishment. It represents the original Sind art as modified both by the application of it to a variety of new ishapes, and the introduction of decorations copied from the Ajanta caves, as well as from scenes from the two great Indian epic poems. Pattan, in the Baroda territory, has a name for pottery, of which specimens have been sent. The ware is mostly unglazed, and the designs are painted green, this being the only colour that the Pattan potters can glaze with. Xraae Marii — Obelisk Of Luxor. ALL CICAKBTTES MARKED "LUXOR."

Metal Work. — The principal centres of the manufacture of copper and brass ware in the Bombay Presidency are Nasik and Poona ; although a large trade in the universally required copper and brass utensils is carried on in other large towns, Nasik drinking cups and sacrificial pots are preferred to those of Poona on account of their superior finish. The ornamental objects, as well as idols, lamps, and other articles, have all come from Poona or Kasik. At the Bombay School of Art, Mr. Griffiths has specially prepared for this Exhibition a large copper vase, and a panel in repousse work, the design having been taken from carvings in the caves of Ajanta. Trophy of Arms. — The large and handsome Trophy of Arms, contributed by H.H. the Rao of Cutch, which forms a conspicuous object, illustrates the manu- facture at Bhuj in Cutch of copies, so far as appearance goes, of the genuine old Indian arms, which comprise almost every possible shape and form of sword and dagger, from the historic toagnak or tiger claw with which Sivaji, the founder of the Maratta power, stabbed the Bijaporo general, to the most costly tulwar. These arms are only intended for the purpose of d3coration. They are made of inferior steel, but are rendered attractive by being inlaid with gold and silver, while the copper sheaths are ornamented with repousse work of gold. The Earoda Darbar has lent a representative collection of old Indian arms, in which may be noticed some fine examples of inlaid gold, silver and ivory work. Other collections have been sent from Bhavnagar and from Palanpur, of which the majority are modern. Lacquered Wares. — Sawantwari, a small Maratta state, near the territory of Goa, has for a long time had a name for its bamboo baskets, lined with cloth and painted with Jndian pigments in various designs, and finally lac- quered. Fans made of the fragrant root of the khaskas grass, ornamented with beetles' wings, and edged with peacock feathers, are also made in that principality. Hindu playing-cards made of paper and lacquered, pats or low stools on which the natives sit to dine, the devharaa or shrines for the family gods, dolls, toys and cradles, are all shown in the lacquered ware of Sawantwari. The dome-shaj^ed shri)\e of Ganpati, the deity presiding over knowledge and success, has been exhibited as a typical specimen of the workmanship. There are also tables, desks, chairs, wall-brackets, cabinets, stcols and book-shelves, which have been specially made for this exhibition to exemplify the applicabilitj' of this stylo of decorative art to lesser ai-ticles of domestic funiiture. From Hyderabad, in Sind, lacquered toys are exhibited, and have also been sent from Nasik and from Mahuwa in the Bhavnagar state. The teapoy boxes, flower stands, and card trays, are admirable examples of the ="£"" HYDROLElNE''S' The material is rapidly replacing Soap In England for cleansing wool.

Another application of lac is found in the collection of bangles made of wood, and lac lined with tinsel, decorated with spangles or dyed red, from Ahmcdabad and Surat, where they are largely iwed by Gujarati women. Horn Work. — Viziadurg and Mahran, in the Ratnagiri district and Sawant- wari, are tho places where bisons' horns uro moulded into ornamental flower- stands, trees, cups, stands for idols, bucks, cubs, antelopes, elephants, and the god Ganpati. Of late tho artisans, who are Hindu carpenters to whom tho secret process has been handed down througli five or six generations from tho first discoverer, have also taken to making inkstands, &e., suitable for European use. It is said that cocoanut oil and wax are applied to tho horn, which is then heated and pressed in moulds, but tho process is not definitely known. After being roughly shaped the liorn is scraped and polished, and finally some designs are chased and filled in with chalk. Tii l"; ouibay Cummitteo has sent a flower stand, a kamal or lotus-shaped tray mounted on a nandi or sacred bull. Tho SawantAvari Darbar contributes an inkstand, and Buroda scuds a carved and polished horn in the shape of a peacock. -..^ ..i Ivory Work. — Ivory inlaid work has already been mentioned. Ivory carvlug is practised to a small extent at Poona, Junagad, Satara, Ahmcdabad, Surat and Cutch. Ivory figures are made in Bombay and Surat by some of tho Parsi work-box makers, but of late they have been using stag-horn instead. At Poona ivory combs aro made in tho Kashapitti. At Junagar and Ahmedabad there are good ivory car\'ers, but they mostly work with ebony or black wood unless an article in ivory is specially ordered. An excellent specimen of the figure of Kartikswami, tho son of Shiva, and the general of the celestial army, riding on a peacock, has been contributed by H.H. the Rao of Cutch. Gold and Silver Work. — Cutch, Poona, Baroda, Bhavnagar, Ahmednagar and Bombay contribute o. large collection of vases, cups, tea and coffee services, plates and flower stands, and H.H. the Rao of Cutch not only sends the best but tho largest collection in the whole of tho Indian section. Bepousse work in silver is a speciality of Cutch. It is attributed to a Dutch origin, but in course of time has been perfectly assimilated to the native style of the province. H.H. the Thakur Saheb of Bhavnagar contributes a very valuable collection of palace jewellery, made of gold or silver, and studded with precious stones. The Bombay Comn»ittee send a lota to illustrate the chased work done at Poona, and THE NEW HOUSEHOLD LIFT. Every PRIVATE HOUSE, H( CHKAP. (Patented.) USggirii. COALS, LINEN, BOOKS, PARCELS.

A largo and complete collection of the gold and silver ornaments used by the high-caste Hindus of Rxma has been specially made to order for this Exhibition, with the difference that baser metals are used instead, and gilt. This collection has thus been secured for a very small bura, and fully represents the original shapes, and even the lustre, as a part of it is gilt and another electro-plated. From IJaroda comes a collection of gold and silver articles, mostly ornaments in common use. But a notable addition is tho caparisoned and dressed silver model of the state elephant. Aden, which, though situated on tho Arabian coast of the Red Sea, is under the administration of the Bombay Government, contribiites a fine collection of fciilver jewellery as worn by tho Arab and Somali women. The shapes are not only massive but very quaint, and it is a collection which deserves a special and close inspection, as it is particularly interesting both to the fanciers of fiilver work, and to the student of comparative ethnology, who can read remote kinship in tho long-descendvd forms of ornament common to widely separated laces. Textile Fabrics. — Notwithstanding the changes in the prosperity of the cottou cloth industry, caused first by tho extinction of the trading monopoly of the East India Company, Avhich affected Surat, and more recently by the unrestrained Manchester imports, which have almost destroyed tho cotton manufac ires of Bardach, there is still a very extensive industry carried on throughout the Bombay Presidency, both in -weaving cotton cloth, printing calicoes, and manu- facturing articles of dress worn by both sexes. ]n the Ahmed abad collectorate the weaving of cotton cloth is still an important industry. In Ahmedabad itself there are several steam factories employing over two thousand hands. Yeola, Ahmedabad, Bijapore, Baroda, Kaira, Cutch, Gondal and Sind all con- tribute a large collection of nadis and khans for Avomen, dhotis or waist-cloths, turbans, floor-cloths, and printed cloths. Ahmedabad sends two fine examples of cloth printed with gold and silver leaf. This industry is nearly extinct, and there is only one man at Ahmedabad who carries on the work. A great distinction between the Gujerat and tho Maratta races is in the decoration of their cotton goods, the purely Maratta people seldom wearing printed cotton goods, while the inhabitants of Gujerat prefer them to all others. The beautiful printed floor-cloths from Cutch and Sind are conspicuous in the decoration of the Bombay Court, Tho collection of turbans sent by the Bombay Committee is doubly interesting from the representation of the various head-dresses as distinguishing the different divisions of the inhabitants of Bombay. The variety of shapes which one single piece of cloth assumes in the hands of the turban folders, without being cut or stitched together, will prove as interesting to a careful observer as the numerous social divisions that are denoted by thom> M.

The 8ilk fabrics exhibited aro mostly fine exaniplcH of the historical silk lanufactnrors of Ahmcdabad, Surat, Tanna, l^oona and Yoola. These are the ii(>f but not the only cities of the silk Jimnufacturo in the Presidency. At Ahmedubad kinkhah or kincob, witli tho woof either of gold or silver only, woven, about five or six hundred looms being engaged in tho manufacture! 'ho maferial is used for covering state carriages, saddle cloths, thrones, ushious, chairs, and couches, and marriage dresses of bridegrooms, bodices urn by women of Gujcrat, and Mu.ssulmans' jackets and caps are also made of . There aro two varieties of the Ahmcdabad brocades, one being thick and Dstly, while tho other is known as tho bunarsi, after Benares, from which town 10 pattern was originally obtained. This is the thinner and comparatively icapor material. The kinUiab generally now produced and sold at Ahmeda- ad is not as superior as it formerly was, for inferior foreign gold and silver iread is substituted in tho placo of tho purer Indian material. It was lerefore necessary to have specimens carefully manufactured for tho Exhi- ition, and Mr. Griffiths thus secured two magnificent specimens, one of tho nest kinkhab and another of the banarsi. Such pieces are called rumah, and sed for covering presents sent to high state officials. Of tho latter variety a reat number of samples illustrate the different patterns. A pair of light lue curtains with tho keri or mango design worked in gold is specially a bo admired. Besides the gold and silver kinkhab, the Surat weavers employ ifferently coloured silk itself in producing tho effect in lieu of the gold ad silver thread. There is a largo exportation to Siam of gold and silver rocade in the form of loin cloths, which aro used by the princes and nobles of lat country. A variety of Surat brocade, in which tho design is partly orked in coloured silk and partly in bullion thread, is known as jamdans. ne silk and cotton brocade is called nababi himro from the fact of this particu- ir pattern being exclusively appropriated for the last four or five generations the use of the families of the Nabob of Surat. Although a mixed material, the otton warp is so covered by the silk weft as not to be visible, and thtis enables evout Mussulmans to comply with the law which prohibits them from rearing garments of pure silk. There are numerous specimenB of that eculiar pattern, the handhna or knot-dyeing, which gave its name to tho old andauna handkerchief. The surface of the undyed cloth is divided into ono- ich squares by the draughtsman or chitarna. Tho knotter or bandanari, enerally a girl, picks up a little cloth at each corner of tho squares, and tiee t into a knot according to tho pattern.

The Bengal Court represents the territory governed by tho Lioutenan Governor of Bengal, tho limits of wliose jurisdiction are almost identical witj those of tho Dowaung of lieugal, Behar and Orissa, conferred by Shah Alar upon the East India Company iu 17G5. It actually includes Bengal proper, Behs Orissa (much more extensive than tho originally granted district) and Chut: Nagpur. These contain an area of 150,588 square miles (exclusive of tl doKolate Sundarbuns (more usually Sonderbands) and a i)opulatJon of 66,691,5i souls, one-third of the population of British India. In addition, the Katii States in connection with Bengal have an area of 96,004 square miles, and population of 34,911,270 souls, making a total of 204,765 square miles and 6S millions. Tho principal native states included in Bengal, for Exhibitii purposes aro Kuch Behar and Hill Tipperah, neither of which are large ( important, and a number of small states known as tho Tributary Mahals. Hindu Screen.— Tho screens of tho Bengal Art- ware Court are an attempt illustrate, chiefly by means of jjapier-mdche castings, tho btyles of architectur ornament characteristic of the best Hindu and Muhamniadan buildings in Beuj: Proper. The Northern screen is adapted from the temple of Krishna at Kauti* agar, near Dinajpur, built between 1704 and 1722 a.d. This templo forms t excellent example of the brick architecture of Lower Bengal, and one of its chi constnictive peculiarities, tho bent cornice, supposed by the late Mr. Fergus* to have been copied from the common bamboo hut of the country, has been repi duced in the screen. The entire surface of the building is covered with ten cotta reliefs, representing for the most part figure-subjects taken from t daily life of tho people. From some of tho best of these ca^ts have be made in a mixture of papier mdche and plaster of Paris, coloured to match 1 originals, and attached to the screen so as to represent the general effect of ' temple. . .

The Patna caps and boxes have better pretensions to design, but their workmanship is rude and unfinished. The Shahabad playing cards, made of pieces of talc lacquered and painted, are a noteworthy sj^ecimen of Indian carving, and amongst the Mnrshidabad gold 3i>angled articles some are worthy of notice.

NEPAL COURT. Adjoining tlie Bengal Court is tho small but highly interesting court devoted to the Art-ware of tho little-known tcnitory of Nepal, which stretches from the southern ranges of the Himalayas twenty miles into tho " plain " and 700 miles along tho Northern India frontier. Tho area is estimated at 54,000 square miles, and tho populat? i is guessed rather than reckoned at al)out two millions. Although adverse to tho admission of Euroixjtui tourists into the valleys of Nepal, the Government has co-operated with tho Resident in furnishing a swall court with examples of tho Ki>eeial arts and industries which belong almost exclusively to tho Nowars, whom tho Ghurkhas conquered about 1768, becoming thus tho dominant race. The Screen. — The front face of tho screen, which is double, consists of a large central placjue, and two smaller side plaques of carved birch wood, divided and bordered by panels of carved satisal wood. The central plaque is a copy, half the actual scale of a window above tho entrance of an ancient No war Vihar, or monaster}' in tho iovni Patau. The original window ntust bo from two to three hundreeculiar to tho country, worn by tho highest class, are of great value, and composed almost entirely of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds set in silver. Tho brass and copper wares are examples of tho work done by Newars at Pattan. They include lotas, balls, bells, lamps, and religious objects. A great deal of brass-work is done by Newars at Pattan, and tho designs of some of the lamps are quaint and artistic. Tho pagoda-like temples are hung with Httlo bells, to the clappers of which are attached broad leaf-shaped piecoH of brass. These aro set in motion by tho wind, and a continual tinkle is kept up. Besides others, two classes of bells aro largely manufactured. Ono made of brass is used in Hindu temples. Tho other of mixed metal is used by Buddh- ists. The bows and an-ows, targets of rhinoceros hide, and other arms exhibited, may be classed as obsolete arms, though bows and arrows aro still used in some parts of tho Terai. The kora is a carved tulwar, tho extremity of the blade widening so as to Fomowhat resemble tho blado of an axe. It was formerly used in warfare, but at present only in beheading bullocks for sacrificoc The animal's head is taken off at ono blow. In tho cotton and silk fabrics, there aro bpecimens of Nepaleso homespun cloth, but the materials of tho other cotton and silk clothing are imported. A very curious object amongst tho saddlery is a saddle in use in the households of wealthy Nepalese. It is strapped on the backs of male or female servants, whose duty it is to carry their masters and mistresses up and down stairs, or from one part of the house to another. A Nepalese lady of rank will scarcely walk from ono room to tho next. '. HOWARD PARQUET, etjOOE* oo-7-a]E,i3sra-s ■whioh WILL NOT WEAR OUT.

The North- Western ProvinoiS and OuJh, forming together the upper portion of the great valley of the Ganges, have an area of 106,1 1 1 square miles, and a total population of 44,000,000. Allahabad is the present seat of Govern- ment, transferred from the ancient Moghal city of Agra, while Lucknow is the former capital of the Kingdom of Oudh. These are all seats and centres of art manufactures, and Agra, in particular, boasts the possession of the glorious monuments of Moghal magnificence, aft'ection and piety contained in the Taj- Mahal, the most beautiful building in India — perhaps in the world — and the great Fort with its mosques and palaces. In political connection with the Government of the North -Western Provinces are the two Native States Rampur and Gurwhal. Screens. — The screens fall into three divisions, of which the first row of marble pillars, inlaid with precious stones, has been taken from a largo number of pillars of similar design now lying in the Fort at Agra, and constitute a gift from the Government of the United Provinces to the National collection at South Kensington. The inlaid work on the pillars is similar to much of that on the world-famed 1 aj, and it is supposed that they were constructed in view of extending the buildings known as the Diwan-i-khas. Before, however, the pillars could bo erected, Agra was taken and held for a time by Sooraj Mull, the neighbouring Raja of Bharatpur, by whom the pillars were apparently buried previous to the town being recovered from him. The next consists entirely of stone- carving executed at Muttra and Agra for the Royal Commission. The trellised screens are faithful copies of similar screens in the Taj and at Fatehpur Sikri, respectively, while the open arches are in like manner copies of work to be seen in the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. The third consists entirely of wood-work. The ends of the Court are furnished by workmen from the districts of Bulandshahr and Mainpuri, while the frontage to the extent of 50 foot is occupied by caived wood-work, the greater portion of which has been dug out of ancient houses in Lucknow City under demolition as ruinous from age. Necessarily, to adapt the screen to the dimensions insisted on, some fresh wood has hud to be added, but in the main this portion represents the stylo of doors, arches, «fec., to be seen in the Lucknow bazaars. Owing to the decay of the older part of the city, house demolition is an every-day occurrence, and not a lew doors, as delicately carved as this example, are to bo found a prey to white ants and weather in the tinxber yards. The remaining portion of the frontage was executed at Farukhabad froc. tlic designs, and under the superintendence, of Soth Janki Das, a wealthy The STRANGERS' HOME, for ASIATICS, AFRICANS, and 80UTH- SEA ISLANDERS, WEST INDIA DOCK ROAD, LIMEHOUSE.

Carving. — The Btonc-carving of Agra, which one portion of tho screen illus- tratcs, is applied to stone trcllis-work and exquisitely fine work in marble and alabaster. This is a Icgacj'' from tho golden age of Agra, when the skilled workmen of Rajputana were imported to carve tho white marbles of Jcypore and tho rod sandstone of Bhurtpur, with which respectively tho great forts and mosques of Delhi and Agia and tho palaces of Fatehpur Sikri were built and decorated. The marble toapoys, plates, boxes, and paper weights, inlaid with precious stones and mother-o'-pearl, in like manner represent the revival of the art which is applied by Austin of Bordeaux to the decorations of tho Taj-Mahal, and of which tho early form is shown by tho pillars described above. Carved sandstone waro is also executed by tho workers in the inlaid marbles; and hero may bo mentioned tho model from Mirzapnr, illustrating a Hindu temple such as are found in various parts of Upper India. Tho district of Mirzapur is described as abounding in good stones and good workmen. Jewellery. — The manufacture of Lucknovv jewellery, though like the trade of the Jauharis, or dealers in precious stones, it has declined since the abolition of tho luxurious and splendid court, still maintains its excellence, though not its extent. A speciality of Lucknow is what is known as diamond-cut silver ornaments. Facets are cut and burnished which, when in the form of stars, bear at a distance a strong resemblance to the flashing of a diamond. Tho best, and it might almost be said tho only, collection under this heading comes from Lucknow itself; but Rao Bareli and Jhausi send single examples. The gold and silver Avare, as distinguished from jewellery, show consider- able variety in dfjsigns and in - 'ork, some of which is engraved, some repousse, some in plain silver, others in silver-gilt, and others enamelled. One of tho more notable s ats of the manufacture of bidri ware, already described, is the same city of Lucknow, where it has been an increasing trado for some years. The number of manufacturers engaged in 1881 was 13, and the next year 31. A modified form of hidri work called zarhuland is made at Lucknow, in which the patterns arc slightly raised and not set even with the surface, as in the ordinary hidri ware. This is an imitation of many kinds of copper and brass ware — especially those of tho Punjab — in which the whit« silver designs stand out in relief on a red or yellow ground of the copper or brass vessels. The process followetl in the manufacture of zarhuland is nearlj'^ the same as that of the ordinary hidri, except that, instead of excavating the patterns for tho gold or silver plates, the ornamental designs are raised above the surface and chased.

A considerable collection of 134 articles is brought together, and will servo to make this artistic and ornamental work still better known. The engraved Benares brass -ware already mentioned, is in like manner lluHtrated, not only by examples of salvers, shields, &c., but by models of temples and mosques. The Lucknow manufactures of brass, copper, and mixed-metal ware, differ from the Benares ware in that tho shapes are more suitable for tho Mussulman purchasers than for Hindus. A largo copper tray (Xo. 1206) deserves a special notice. The principal variation in the other exhibits of these wares, is in sumo cases the copper studding of tho Lahitpur ware, and tho fluted surface in others, the shajjcs being •generally the same. Note, however, tho curious inkstands of the village iiccountants (1213-14). The bell-metal ware from Mullipatti, Azamgarh, is known from tho proportions of tho alloy as san aatais, or one hundred and twenty-seven, and can only be obtained in a few places. The city of Mathura, or Muttra, once a centre of the Buddhist faith, and "converted" by Shah Jehan, who appointed a governor " expressly to stamp out idolatry," is now a great centre of Hindu devotion, and visited annually by krge numbers of pilgrims. The sunoundiug country teems with legends of the iivino brothers, Krishna and Balaram, who dwelt in tho neighbouring plain. The brass images of deities, and the brass and silver toys in the shape of horses and peacocks which are shown, are largely manufactured for the )cnefit of the pilgrims. Amongst the enamelled vessels, the best work is that on specimens )re8erved from the time of the old native Court. ' ' ' ' " "* TLe inlaid work from Mainpuri is of shtsham wood, into which patterns ue beaten in brass wire and polished. Tho designs are either of foliage )r geometrical. The same work can bo applied with good effect to )anelling doors, picture-framing, and other decorative purposes.

Cotton Weaving. — Tho cotton fabrics in this Court are almost all of the finost sorts manufactured in tho North- Western provinces. Notwithstanding the comj)etition of Manchester fabrics, tho great cotton-weaving industry o Oudh still holds its ground, although tho Jolahisa, or hand-loom weavers of Lucknow, are reported by Mr. Hoey as finding their trade so diminishing that they are emigrating from tho city, or seeking other occupations. The exhibits compri.so fine specimens of tho muslins of Sikanderabad turban cloths fringed with gold, handkerchiefs, &c. These are distinguishwl not only by their fineness, but by the use of gold thread as a bordci The woven pattern muslins from Jais, Kao Baroli, are tho most famous o the textile manufactures of that place. The weavers Imve a curious art o interweaving at tho time of manufactjiro any design that may Ik) suggests to thcin. Verses and sentences are most common, and are suggested h] every taste and creed. Some are passjiges from tho Koran, others from th Vedas, and others from Dr. Watts's moral songs and hymns. At Lucknov m\isliu is still largely manufactured, being preferred for embroider purposes to English muslin. Tho woven pattern muslin of Benares rival in its delicacy tho famous product of the Dacca looms, and tho Kampu cotton damask, either plain or with borders and coloured thread, o interwoven with gold thread, received a gold medal at the Calcutt Exhibition. Cotton Printing. — Cotton-printing is still a successful calling in Lucknow notwithstanding they have to compete with Manchester chintzes sold for on shilling a yard, while the native handiwork costs one shilliiig and eightpence but tho Lucknow chintzes are far superior in the colour, the Kukrail and Bait rivers being famous for the purity of tints that their waters give to the deep- tone dyes of India. The hand-stamped chintzes of Fatehpur, of which there ar four pieces, may bo noted as more elaborate in design, and on a large scale. Tho patterns and work of the cotton carpets of Bulandshahr, Agn and Aligarh, are various, and they are of all sizes, tho best being used « small prayer carpets for Mussulman devotions.

The horizontal panels are i- framed geometric lattices (not perforated), locally known as Pinjra, literaUi " cage-work," strongly resembling the lattice work seen in Arabic architecture This is, perhaps, the most characteristic feature of Punjab wood-work, and it i valuable as producing a peculiar eifect of repose. One set of the horizonta panelH is in shisham wood inlaid with ivory, and Was made at Bassi Ghulai Huasain, near Hushiarpur. Tho cresting and tho tinials aro forms m actua use. The whole of the work, indeed, is such as is wrought for tho best clas of constructions every day in the Punjab. The similar length opposite is in deodar or Himalayan cedar {Cedn deodara), and is tho work of various hands in Tjahove, notably Chanda Sing and Lena Singh, also Sikhs. Deodar wood is full of resin, and consequently i not attacked by insects, and it is extremely durable. It is practicaUy tl building timber of the province. ^ _ Tho end arcades— two in shisham and two in deodar— are designed m different style, known among Punjab workmen as Akbari. It is doubtfi wherher this older type of wood-work is correctly referred to the time of Akbai hnt the name serves well enough to indicate a finer and nioro delicate fashio thfin is now usually followed. The square Hindu shaft and other minor detai are characteristic of this style, and in older work a peculiar crispness an brightness of execution, combined sometimes with excessive minuteness, ai noticeable. ^^e^■ Carving.— The arclutectuml wood-work of the provinces is also exemplified i the series of carved doors and windows from Berar, Chiniot and Ilissar, tl carved screen of three arch»-s from Sialkot, and an arcado of three arches fro Batala. The carvod door from Karnal, in the southern part of the Punjab, altogether exceptional, and is copied from an old Hindu stone door.

Most of the ornaments in ordinary use in tho Punjab will bo found, but there are very fo^v of a cosUy kind. The great variety of tbo urticlos wUI, however, furnish a good iUustration of the universal use of silver orna- ments by all ages and all classes in India. It has been well said that tho quantity and quality of jeweUery worn by women is a sure and safe criterion of the prosiKjrity of tlie people. It is an investment for savings easily con- %'ertible in cnse of need. ^itaiiK-ii.— Enamelled jewellery from Kiingra, Alultan, and Baliawalpur are good examples of tho Punjab branches of silver enamelling. Bahawulpur patterns are chiefly of the conventional flowers in panels, scrolls and geometric diapers and probably are of tho same origin as tho Multan enuuiol which Mr. Baden Powell states to have been first made by a jeweller named .N'aulu, 400 years ago. The colours generaUy employed are blue, blaok, yellow, and several shade* of orange, briokdust red or pink. The euamels from Kangra and Kulu also are remarkable for the excellency of their blues. None of these, however, equal the Jeyixire enamels described in the Raj pu tana Court. The damascened work or ko/t, which was formerly extensively practised on the arms and armour made in the chief towns of tho l»unjab, is now only found in Sialkot and at Gujerat. The articles made are chiefly ornamental small wares for decorative purposes. The art consists in ineiuiting or inlaying a wire of ore metal, usually gold or silver, on another in omameutiil patterns. Gold and steel are tho favourite malcriak. In tho best examples (tar-i-niahan) tho pattern is first incised, and tho wire is laid in. In tho ordinary work of the Punjab, the iron or steel is first roughened all over, and tlio gilded silver wire is laid on in foliated patterns, and bumiahed into its place. Tho ground i« afterwards blued by heat. Tho surface of the iron or steel is sometimes chiselled in patterns in relief. Specimens of this variety are shown from. Uhore.

The material is deodar wood." Carriii^.—Bcsides the screen, examples are shown of the carved wood-work of Kashmir as applicablo to ceilings. These are executed in chil wood (Pitn awwtw). The Kanhmir 2>apier mdchi, or painted wood-work is, owing to the number 'f English officers on furlough, and tourists who visit tho country, well known n English houses. The work goes by the name of kiir-i-kalam-ddni or pen-case rork, and is also called hir-i-munakanh or painted ware. It is done on articles f either smooth wood or papier-macho by pulping oaarse native paper, and Qonlding the softened material to the required shape. Tho article is covered nth a coating of white paint, on tho surfaoo of which a delicate pattern iu oloars, chiefly crimson, green, and blue, is drawn with a fine brush. Flowers » nd the coai-ser designs seen upon shawls are most commonly produced. A very »«tty iiattem is also done by painting with gold paint a spreading series of f unote branches and leaves upon a white ground,— a border of brighter colouring gg The Empire of India. is added, and sometimes figures of men and animals are introduced. The surtaco is varnished over with a varnish made by boiling the dearest copal in pure turpentine. Ten carved and painted plaques illustrate the method of decoratmg ceilings with this work. • i-.i -^i ■ n. ^ The well-kno>m Kashmir silver-gilt plato is illustrated by ft good collection including spocimcns of the latest style. Of this, Sir George Birdwoul remarks that it wtxs almost confined to the production of the water vessels copied from the clay models in use in the northern parts of the Punjab. Ho also notices that the ruddy gold is peculiar to Kashmir, not being found any where else in India until Burma in reached. The set exhibited, however mainly consists of articles designed for European use, and shows specimens of the modem style. The price of good work is stated to bo 374 P^r cent, added io the price of the silver. Of the silver plato, the cost of the work is 2o per cent, additional. This art is said to have been imported by the Mongols, but the natural superiority of the people of the Kashmir Valley in elaborating designs, whether in meUl-work or enamelling or weaving, has brought tho Kashmir goldsmith's ort to its perfection. In the brass, copper, and mixed metal, the embossed and pierced brass-work is described as new, and the Kashmiri workman dislikes doing it from the hardness of the brass as compared with copper. The engraved and lacquered brass-work is entirely diffbrent in stylo and colouring from any Indian work, The copper work shown is made in immense quantities for sale t» '^^''**^"_ The people themselves never use it untinned, as has been already noticed of the Mussulman population in the Punjab. The ordinary household metal-work u not equal to the best Persian, but surpasses that of Afghanistan or Turkesten. Within the last fifteen years gilding and enamelUng copper has been introduced. An example of the copper enamelled before gilding is shown in No. 227. The large vase (No. 201) is, writes Sir Oliver St. John, the Residenl in Kashmir, *' one of tho largest and best pieces of work and design that I have seen in Kashmir." Originally, dark and light blue only were used, and the designs were comparatively simple ; but latterly pink, green, yellow, and white have been added, and the patterns elaborated and multiplied on each piece. A number of articles in silver-enamel are also eho^vn. A chair carved in walnut wood exemplifies the orders occasionally given to native workmen for chain made after European models in carved walnut, as excellent wabaut-wood aboundi- in Kashmir. . ^.i. a u Textiles.^Of the cotton fabrics tho hundred beautiful specimens of the »amM chintzes have been referred to as decorating the vestibule. These were speciall; executed according to the designs and directions of Mr. Purdon Clarke. Ihes chintzes are made at Sambar, a small town at the foot of the hiUs some 30 mUe south of Jummoo. The demand for them has recently been so great that th Kashmir Government has practically made a monopoly of th^m, and the pnc has been raised from 9 or 10 to 14 rupees. If the Kashmir chintzes, with exquisite patterns and colours, have advanw in demand and price, the opposite may bo said of the once precious Kashraii shawls. This manufacture, it is stated, which formerly brought half a millioJ a year iiito Kashmir, is now well-nigh moribund. Unless means are taken by th The Empire of India. 59 Government to preserve it, the art of weaving the finest shawls will probably be extinct 15 or 20 years hence. The warehouses of London and Paris are full of shawls which find no purchasers, and the value in Kashmir has consequently fallen to a third of what it was ten years ago. The shawl (No. 31) now marked Rs. 300 world, in former days, have cost Rs. 800 to Rs. 1000. The specimens Nob. 1 to 4 are from tho Maharaju'n toafui-khana or storehouse, and are of the finest quality, unattainable nowadays. Specimens of shawl stuflf are exhibited, woven from tho unbleached and undyod pashminay or under- wool of the shawl-goat. The mode of procuring it is thus described : " At the commencement of summer the animal is shorn with a knife in the direction of the growth of the hair, that is, from head to tail. When this is done the wool is combed down in the reverse direction. This separates almost entirely the upper hair from the wool underneath. The hair is soft, and is wrought up into coarse fabrics." One specimen of pashmina exhibited is woven of tho true pashm of tho ibex, which is very rare and most highly valued as making tho lightest, warmest, and strongest cloth. ■ "*,, • j CENTRAL PROVINCES COURT. -/mi./ The Central Provinces, of which Nagpnr is tho headquarters, cover an area of a little under 85,000 H([uaro miles of hill-, valleys, and plateaux. There are 15 Native States, with nearly 29,000 txjuaro miles, and a total population of over 1,700,000. Screens. — The screens, which form three sides of each of the Central Provinces' Courts, are the handiwork of native carpenters at Nagpur, and are very fair specimens of the wood-carving which is very characteribtic of tho Central Provinces. The art of carving in wood, and to a kss degree in stone, ie perhaps the only one in which these Provinces can hold their own against other Provinces in India. It is no uncommon thing to find, oven in small villages, houses with carved teak fronts of considerable beauty, and in several towns there are streets with carved wooden frontages displaying very considerable taste and skill. Carved wood plays an important part in Nagpur architecture, and the Maratha palaces in the vicinity of the city are distinguished by their high verandahs of black teak often very elaborately carved. Jewellery. — Two gold necklets from Sambalpur are described as of rough execution, but interesting as the handiwork of one of the districts in India most Iremoto from road or railway communication. The Sambalpur District is 220 miles Idistant from the nearest railway station. The necklets are, so far as is known, Ithe only jewellery made in these Provinces that has any distinctive oharao- Iterifltic. They are largely worn by Brahmin youths, and considered to possess [the virtue of an amulet, recall:^f lacquereil wood, which Iso forms a seat. The whole length of the screen (20 feet) is covered by a board 20 feet long, 2^ feet wide, and iOi^ feet from the ground. The under-surface of this board is covered with the best sitnl-pnlii matting. The workmanship is so ine that twenty three strips of the patti go to one inch. Below tho Ijoard, and . it right angles to it along the central line, is a series of six panels, Heparate of cane- irork. As will be seen from the screen, dooorativo art in Assiim, as applied to onstruction, cannot be said to exist. Jewellery. — Several interesting collections of jewellery will claim admiration f those who examine them. First is tho Barpeta jewellery, a peculiarly fino pecies of gold filigree which is made at Barpefa in the Kamrup district. 'ho articles are chiefly bracelets and necklaces — tlie latter being especially eautiful. The gold is sometimes imported direct from Calcutta, but is often btained from Mahommedan coins brought (to save weight) instead of rupees,].*;/ 10 elephant traders of Rangpur and Furnea. Secondly, the best-known articles f the Khasi Hills jewellery, are tho coral and gold necklaces, largely worn by 10 more wealthy of the Khasi women. These necklaces consist of alternate eads (about the size of small marbles) of coral and gold, held together by a iread passing through a hole in the centre of each. The coral is reol and comes from Calcutta. The gold beads are shells of f;old filled up with lac. Tho alue of a necklace varies from Hs. oO to 200, and a good specimen would, lerefore, have been too expensive to be included amongst the exhibits. The allop-shell ear-ring and gold collaret are peculiar to these hills. Thirdly, the Manipur jewellery is made in the Hill State of that name, gold id silver articles being largely uianufacture4 for the native trade at Manipur. He gold used is always pure, but a large number of the articles consist half of >ld and half of silver. Last, come the Jorhat ear-rings enamelled on gold. Ha colours are blue, green, and white, and tho etlect is strikingly beautiful. ho ornaments produced are lockots, ear-rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The le is not extensive, and is only confined to natives. The ornaments are often t with precious stones. Br&n, Copper, er; and a palanquin. Lakhimpur sends a model of an Assamese homestead, tlie exact representation of the appearance of tilings on the premises of an ordinary Assamese cultivator. A single family usually occupies one of those ho.nestoads, which is soparatal from the next by a few fields. Two families never occui>y the same premises, unless closely related by blood. The ingenuity of the Manipuris, who are tho Japanese of this part of India, is shown in nineteen models of Manipur wood work. Textile Fabrics, -Tlio textile fabrics are represented by groups. (1.) Goal para cloths. Fabi-ics made of cotton are common all over tho province, am their manufacture is as widely distributed as their use. English yarn is sail to Ik) rapidly taking the place of homespun thread, except when coarse m particularly durable cloths are required; but tho fonncr is largely used k domestic purposes, aad the spinning-wheel and the loom are to be found i almost every Assamese household. (2.) >iaga cloths. Dhotis or waist-oloths.- These are generally unomameuted, but occasionally coloured patterns aro woven into the ond. Chaddars or sheets.— These are almost invariably quite plain except when made of tho finer kinds of cotton yarn. In this case they an sometimes as fine as muslins, and are only prepared by women of resiK>ctabilitv for private use. These carefully-woven fabrics are generally decorated Avitl elaborately-worked paticjms of flowers, fniits and birds in coloured thread sometimes of silk, and sometimes of cotton. (3.) Kuki and Cachari cloths, th different articles of which aro curious ; and (4.) Manipur cloths. 5t7fe.— Silk fabrics are excessively numerous, and vary greatly in materia workmanship, quality, and colour. From Goalpara and Sibsagar several specimen are sent of the silk manufacture, which is that of eri and muga silk, obtaiue from two species of worms, the first of which feeds upon the castor-oil plan while the muga feeds on a forest tree called the sum. No means have jet bee discovered of reeling tho eri silk, and tho thread is always made froin it t spinning. As a natural consequenco th» thread is uneven and coarse, and th cloth v«3ry rough but durablo. The commonest cloth of this material is calle TKe Empire of India. 68 borkapar, a large heavy sheet about 21 feet by 5, universally worn by men of the {leosant cIons during the cold weather. The eri cloth is commonly worn by the peasantry, and the muga cloth by the upper clatisuH, and it is a noticeable fact tliat women of rcHjiectubility rarely engage in the manufacture of eri cloth. Bcuket Work. — The AsHam Valley basket-work is very varied, and a know- ledge of the art is universal. The Sylhot sital-pntti mats are the finest specimens of this manufacture. The work is exceedingly tedious and expensive. The material is a kind of reed, called in Bengali muria. The coarser kinds of mats are universally used for sitting and sleeping on, especially during the hot weather. The word aital means cool. BURMA COURT. British Burma, before the recent annexation, contained a population of 3,730,771, occupying H7,220 square miles, and compiiHing the sea coast pro* vinces of Arakan, TenuHsorim, and Tavvy, and I'ogu, the lower valley of the Irawtidi. The distinction of British Burma exists no longer, but the Burma Court cannot show exhibits from the former kingdom. The screen of the Burma Court is made of carved teak with Jcalaga Cor cloth hanging) panels. The upper part resembles the carving placed round the eaves nud gables of Burmese niounsterics, palaces, and shrines. The small flume-liko pinna(;les pi-rhaps point back to a former fire-wor«hip oru. The frame-work just below is an example of the ordinary wood-curving of the country, and the kalagas (or applique work) which are placed us imnels, are part of the hangings used as screens, roofings, or backgrounds at open-air festivals or in-door feasts. The pillars are ornamented in red and gold in n manner common in shrines and monasteries. The workmanship is purposely that iwot witli on olyects com- mouly made in Burma. The screens of the Burmese Court strike the spctitator, not necessarily by the excellonoe of the carving, for that is elBcwhero I'ivulled, l)ut by the distinc- tive character of the complicated design, with the feeling that he has passed from India pi'oper into a country where the religion, the manners and customs, and consequently the arts of the people, diifer from any already examined, and this feeling will bo confirmed ns the exhibits which fill the Court of the pro- sperous province of British Burma are examined. The words British Burma are for the ju-esent used advisedly, for although the distinction between it and Upper Burma exists no longer, and although the prevalent character of Rwriaese art-work is the same from Mandalay to Bhanio as from Rangoon to Muudalay, yet still all the exhibits belong to the Lower Burma or to the sca- Bido provinces mentioned alx)ve. The only aicbitectural carving exemplified is in wood, and tlie ordinary carver is a proficient at either foliage or figure work. In addition to this the Rangoon models of men, women, and carts, are examples of the work of the best carvers, but the iBosi" characteristic work, both of foliage and figures, is to wi found at Buddhist monasteries, where thesaorod seven-roofed spire, supported on Vermilion and gold-plated pillars, rises rbovo a placid figure of Gautama: WkJh line of eaves and gable is adorned with a many -pinnacled piece of carving rising tip at the corflers over the head of a giiardian angel. 6i The Empire of India. A curious and intricate efifect is ohtained by Burmese workmen for da handles and table ornaments. The outside of the specimen is carved with foliage and flowers through the interstices of which the inside is hollowed out nearly to the o'entre, where a figure is carved in situ. The figure looks as if it had been carved separately and inserted into a flowery bower ; but closer examination ehows that this is not the case, and the men may at any time be seen carving the figure through the opening of the tracery. A fine collection of gold and silver ware from Kangoon, and also from the Shan States, exemplifies the well-known and highly -esteemed silver-work of Burma. Whether it is hammered, embossed, chased, carved, or cut into upon tracery, it is all made in exactly the same way. It can be applied to any shape, and European patterns are often covered with the Burmese work ; but the native demand is entirely for articles of simple shape, such as large round bowls without cover or legs, betel-boxes, small oval lime-boxes, and such like. The examples of jewellery are chiefly of filigree, with which are associated small pieces of solid gold, either beaten out into the petals of a leaf, or cut like a diamond to form the flashing centre of a rosette or a sparkling pendant. In this case the burnished gold retains its proper colour, but in all others it is dyed red with tamarind juice, a barbaric custom to which the Burmese tenaciously cling. The reason given is that no other metal but gold will assume this particular ruddy colour when treated with tamarind juice ; it may in fact be regarded as the Hall mark of Burmese jewellery. The goldsmiths show great skill and, what is rarer amongst the Burmese, great patience and industry in making their filigree work. For they have first to draw the wire from solid gold, and they then laboriously construct the delicate pieces of which the work is finally formed. The dalizan is perhaps the prettiest of all, and in silver it is sought after by Europeans. It is composed of a collar .about half-an-inch high, from which hang rows of peacocks, rosettes, crescents, &c,, linked together and gradually narrowing towards the lower edge. Ornaments for > o hair'5>ro of two kinds : those made of sprays of leaves and those ?nade by a» 3hing conventional orna- ments to a curved bar by spiral springs. In both kinds a peacock or pheasant is introduced in the centre. Coloured pieces of glass and sometimes precious stones are set in the leaves, and the whole piece vibrates with every movement of the head. Chains and round necklaces are formed by plaiting flat pieces of gold in various ways, and soldering on to the faces small knobs and grains. This kind of work is perhaps the best in design and finish of any mada by Burmese goldsmiths. Specimens of silver niello are also shown. Matiiy of the silversmiths are proficient in this art. The articles made are ci .ps, lime-boxes, plates, knife-handles, and are all quite smooth with a '"olish. The t)lack enamel used is made of two parts of lead, one part silver, ai ' . "^ P^ copper, and sulphur is added while the materials are melting. oib^9 The only important manufactures in brass are th'* ^Jastings of images of Gautama, bells and gongs, which are in perpetual requet for religious purposes, and to jtrovide which for a Buddhist Monastery or pagr '* is a work of merim, which goes to the spiritual credit of the offerer. M The lacquered war© used in British Burma is of t/o kinds— (i.) T^t u^ which the article is made of b'askieit-work la'(jiiu«'r'(/d oVfer: '(ii.) That in which The Empire of India. eS the article is made of wood. With regard to shape alone, a distinction might be drawn between things used in ordinary life and those which are dedicated to the service of the monastery. All the lacquerware made on a basket-work form comes from Upper Burma, where it is a very important trade. In British Burma the trade is confined to the production of wooden articles lac- quered over, such as the large round platter with a raised edge, iu which the family dinner is served round, and square boxes and bowls. Another sot of artists produce richly gilt boxes used in the monasteries for holding palm- leaf manuscripts, the bowls with a pagoda-shaped cover used for carrying food to monasteries and pagodas and shrines on which to place images of Gaudama. Tne coffers referred to appear as if covered with pictures drawn in black on a gold ground, and the effect is so good that a small demand for tables, panels, and bowls of the same work has sprung up. Textiles.— Thvoughont Burma weaving is cariied on, though not so much in the large towns as in the country. The cloths woven are chiefly cotton for homo use, and putsos, cloths worn by men, which are from fifteen to eight yards long, md varying in width from three-quarters of a yard to 3^ feet; or tameins, worn )y women, a sheet of two portions sewn together, about 4^ feet long and about )i feet broad. Besides these, tUndaings or coverlets and saungs or thick sheets ire woven. The following description of the Burmese dress of both sexes U aken from the valuable work of the late Mr. Forbes : " The patterns are either )lain variegated stripes, checks, and plaids, or in the most fashionable and expen- live a series of zig-zag lines of varying breadth and colours, with sometimes a eaf-like pattern between. These last, from the intricacy of the pattern and the lumber of the shuttles employed for the different coloured threads, require great ikill and a large amount of labour. In some of the best cloths one hundred ihuttles are used, and cloths are distinguished on this account as fifty-shuttle, iighty-shuttle, hundred-shuttle putsoes. The prices of cloths of the best mami- acture, as aljjove described, run up to 200 rupees (£20), or even more. The piece s fashioned for wear by cutting the length of the web in half, and then stitching he lengths together, so as to form a double width. One end is closed so an to aake a kind of wallet. The puUo now nine yards long and one and a half wide, s girt round the waist in an ingenious manner without any belt, by a twist and' I hitch of the cloth. It thus forms a kilt with a long spare end in front ; this s sometimes tucked in at the waist, and allowed to hang low in front in heavy aids, but the most graceful way of wearing it is to throw it loosely over le shoulder, A white cotton jacket (of English longcloth) reaching the waist, iid a handkerchief (of Manchester manufacture) wound round the head, com* lete the costume. " The tamein, or female •^|:ess, is difficult to describe.

The same dresses are also manufactured in silks, which are all of very brilliant, not to say gaudy patterns and colours ; but in British Burma the silk articles of clothing are chiefly of European manufacture, being cheaper, though far less durable than the home manufacture. The gold and silver embroidene^ shown, are only used in Lower Burma to supply costumes for the theatre. Gold and silver lace are freely used, as ure precious stones, and the result is an exceedingly costly garment. A very effective decorative work in Bilk is showi: in the kalaga, or hanging, from Rangoon. The Tcalaga^ most ordinarily m use are made in cloth, and are red hangings or purdahs. They are about ten oi twelve feet long, and four or five feet deep, on which are pourtrayed scenes fron> one of the mythological plays. The work is technically known as apphque work and is formed by cutting the figures and foliage of the picture out ol vari-coloured cloths and sewing them on to the background. The resul^ in Burma is a gorgeously-coloured screen, which is used to decorate the house on festive occasions or to partition off a part of it for a guest. The kalaga also forms a gay roof-covering for the bullock-cart when the family travek to one oi the large pagoda feasts. .;,...:--'- MADEAS COUET,. j..i itt ^ ••«'»•' Next to Burma comes the Madras Court, representing the territories of tha Presidency, which occupies the entire south of the leninsnla, together with » lone strip running northwards on the Coromandel Co;.Bt. It has an area o 139 900 square miles, with a population of 30,688,504. The important pnnci Dalities of Travancore and Cochin, with three smaller states, are in connectioi lith Madras, and our ancient and faithful allies of Travancore and Cochin a. well represented. The city of Madras, the third greatest m India, is entirely o EngUsh origin, and dates from the building of the factory in 1639 The carved screens for the Madras Court are in a style of the Dravidia. architecture of Southern India of the Vijaynagar period, i.e. about the 15th a 16th century. Avoiding as far as possible the grotesque eccentricities of th Btvle it is attempted to show that South Indian carvers are capable of muc ,r«>od work. The columns are fluted and ribb<^d and crossed at intervals wrt bands of elaborate ornament. The upi^er portion is cut in representation o chatty, or earthen vessel, from which the capital springs m the shape ot lotus Above this two richly-carved brackets assist m supporting the on beam on which the upper portior or entablature of the screen rests. The Hind architects use an elaborate system oi brackets in place of the arch construe k of Saracenic and European builders. The long beam is divided into paneis fill- with various designs of foliage, birds, gryphons, and other monsters of Him mythology. What might be caUed the frieze of the entablature is divided in panels by carved upright struts. The panels themselves are each divided in three niches, the design being adapted from the metal shnnes in which Hindus place the images of their gods. The centye of each of these is hU _^ The Umpire of India. gj with pierced foliage, generally in representation of the tree of lifo, and „ the .pandrel between the niches, a cobra with distended hood is coiled up. The variety of the patterns on the screen and the treatment of animal for^s wTu jpve a good Idea of the facUity for ornamental design possessed by most orieZ lunmcraftsmen. The screen is constructed of Burma teak by a Madras^^ penter EamaUngam A^ri. The general design was prepared by the Sunerin- tondent of the Madras School of Arts and executed under his direction by aCt twenty Madras carvers, the .^,ller details being designed by Minakshi AsTrY . carver ftom Ramnad, m the Madura District. The difficulty of golting a sufficent number of carvers in Madras city, and the short time aUowef for th! work prevented the design being carried out in its entirety The most interesting of the exhibits sent frcm the Madras Presidency are described by Colonel Hawkes, the President of the Madras Committee.^" old native jewellery, brass and copper utensils, wood carvings, cotton ^d sUk f r ?.? r "/"^r ""f embroideries."

The third and fifth arches — those on either side of the central piece — are entirely of lacquer work. The central portion of the screen, or, as it may well be termed, the central gateway, is a Tazzia, such as is commonly constructed during the Mohorran festival, to represent the Mausoleum of Hassain and Hussain. In the combined Court preference may naturally be given to the portion dt/oted to the manufactures from the dominions of the Nizam, and the great Mohammudan city of Hyderabad with its population of 200,000 souls. Accord- ing to the Gazetteer of India, the principal manufactures are the ornamental metal ware of Bidar, the gold-embroidered cloths of Aurangabad, Gulbarga, and other towns, and the excellent paper of diflferent kinds made by the inhabitants of the hamlet of Eagarpur, near the famous fortress of Doulatabad. The jewellery and silver ware are all of Aurangabad manufacture, with silver filigree boxes which resemble the Dehli silver work. The only one of the 70 The Empire of India. art manufactures in metal is the hidri ware, which is here shown from its original birthplace of Bidar. Close on a hundred articles are exhibited exemplifying the important industry which commands an extensive demand. No dowry is considered complete among the better class of Moham- medans unless a complete set of hidri ware, from bed-legs to a spittoon, is included. The high prices often render it necessary for the father of a family to begin his collection years before his daughter is marriageable. The mode of manufacture has been elsewhere described. The mixture used at Bidar is variously stated by authorities at one part of copper to sixteen of zinc, or one part of copper to fourteen of zinc. The patterns of Bidar are generally of a natural floral description. Both gold and silver are inlaid, and copper also is sometimes used in this work at Bidar. fl* JrJ'io'i (h.t O't ij Ji ^Hiu Admirers of armour will find ample scope to indulge their taste in the col- lection of ancient armour purchased in the city of Hyderabad, which is noted for old arms, and the modem blades made from the steel in the Hyderabad territory rival the finest Damascus. The lacquer ware shown in the ornamental screen is also illustrated by a large assortment of boxes, fans, sandals, &o.i io .^('iior. n^ikiii uM v-i : The beautiful lacquer work of Baingaupali, Skjagir in the Eaichur district, is used in ornamenting every article of domestic use. Like the inlaid metal work of Bidar, articles forming part of the wedding dowry are lacquered. The work is of two kinds or classes, one embossed and the other plain, and called respectively viunahathi and lajavoardi. The embossing is produced by a tedious process. Shells or slag from the foj'ge are finely ground with some glutinous substance, which is kept a secret, and layer upon layer of this ingredient put on with a brush till the requisite height is attained. The whole is then covered with gold-leaf, the designs are picked out in paint, and the article varnished. Textiles. — The cotton fabrics include Kaki coloured muslins, plain and striped, from Eaichur. These are a luxury in the hot weather, and are used by both sexes among the natives, the men using the cloth for their angrakaa or loose jackets, and the women for wraps. The muslins of Eaichur closely resemble those of Nandair, and are about one-fourth the price ; but good judges profess to see a great difference. Thirty-nine pieces are also shown of the finest muslins manufactured in the Hyderabad state. These are salmon-coloured. They are, like the others, all woven in hand-looms. Beside these are examples of the Eaichur counterpanes, and the stamped cloth from Indore, commonly used as coverlets and curtains. The Gulbarga Jail exhibits examples of prayer carpets, and a selection of cotton carpets of the noted Warangal make. The aniline dyes can be remarked as having superseded the true cid Indian dyes in this manufacture. The gold and silver cloth and lace of Aurangabad and the gorgeous embroideries applied to the canopies of costly state umbrellas of dignity, the elephants' cloths and state horses* caparisons generally, are somewhat sparsely represented. The Gulbarga embroidery is inferior in work to that of Auran- gabad. The work in the exhibits is, however, well done, but the metal used is copper gilt. The pure silk »aris of Eaichur, and the mashru or mixed satin for Mohammedan use, and the flowered silks of Aurangabad, are the chief sil'* T^e Empire of India. 71 fabrics shown, and of these it is needless to say more than that they are the products of long-established seats of the production of the finest silk wares, and are well worthy of their reputation. Seven pieces of embroideries in gold and beetle wings complete the r^oUection. Raichur is famous for its leather industry, principally applied to the manufacture of the slippers and shoes. The leather employed is sometimes dved, but not unfrequently, as in examples shown, gilt or silvered. The slippers embroidered with gilt and copper are very commonly used, especially by dancing girls. ^/^^' MYSORE AND COORG COURT. "■['''■''''' Mysore and Coorg are conterminous Hill Stfites, the latter under the direct administration of the Governor-General, and the former a Native State ruled over by a descendant of the Hindu chieftain from whom Hyder Ali usurped it. Mysore has an area of over 25,000 square miles, and a population of over 4,000,000. Coorg is a small mountainous district of about 1600 square miles, south of Mysore, inhabited by a fine race of highlanders numbering about 180,000. The screen for the Mysore and Coorg Court encloses a space of about 70 ft. in length by 12 ft. in width. The front elevation is divided into seven bays of 10 ft. each, the Mysore Court of five bays being separated from the Coorg Court of two bays by a partition. The designs for the pillars and arches are copied from the T^aria Daulat Bagh (the Garden Palace, built by Tippoo Sultan at Seringapatam, and long occupied by the Duke of Wellington, then Colonel Wellesley), reduced to half the original dimensions. The pillars, panels, &c„ are made of different kinds of Mysore timber, the carving being executed by local carpent€)rs. The plain panels above the arches of the front elevation and at the sides and top of the three partition screens are filled in with photographs of Mysore sconery, &c., and nati ve mythological paintings. Taken ?vl the order of the Special Catalogue, first noticeable, is a group of Hindu deities carved in soap-stone. Sacred sculpture in this material and dating some hundreds of yeara back, is found in a perfect state of preservation all over the St>ate. The figures are from two feet high down to miniature repre- sentations. This collection indicates the motif of almost all the well known Mysore work. The Canara carving already described, dnd the Sorab and other Mysore work are identical, in every respect, executed in high relief, and illus- trating the Puranas or legendary histories of the Hindu deities. The conven- tional and deformed figures of Brahma, Siva and Vishnu Krishna, and their cons'orts and attendant guardians to the earth are contrasted with the foliated borders. The lacquer veare of Ohenaputten consists of wooden toys turned and prettily laoquered. Chessmen and chess boards are also made of the same ware. The Mysore inlaid ebony furniture, of which sixteen samples are exhibited, Has risen in importance since the Calcutta Exhibition, and at present the demand exceeds the supply. The work of the Mysore goldsmiths in either of the precious metals is well known for the delipacy and ingenuity displayed in chasing, engraving and 73 The Empire of India, ornamenting the pattemg. The exquisite gold diBhes presented to H.R.H. the Prince Wales will be romomberod by all who have availed themselves of the opportunities so freely aflforded of inspecting Ilis Royal Highness's Indian collections. The maker (Venkatrammana) of these exquisite works, exhibits silver castings and silver chased work in awami figures and salvers. Engraved and reponssS plate is also shown from Bangalore. The brass and copper utensils, and the brass and copper idols of the Tumkur districts are widely noted, and the other known seats of this industry, such an Kagamangala and Magadi are represented by articles intended for religious or for ordinary use. The best workmen of the staple work in metals are Jains. The ordinary work is described as rough, without finish or accuracy, the circles and the lines inaccurate, and the marks of the file and the burnisher everywhere visible. The brass and copper wares for sacrificial purposes are necessarily confined to the ancient patteme, no innovation being permisaible. There is a good collection representing the ordinary gold and silver ornaments set with gems, which are imitated in base metal and glass. trmiM Textiles. — Among these the Ganjam chintzes have been specially reproduced from old printing blocks of the time of Hyder Ali, reproducing tlie pattemn which were worn by the peons of Hyder Ali and Tippoo Sahib. The woollen Kambli, marked 732, is sent as a specimen of the choice Davangiri manufacture, of which the excellence is proved by a piece measuring two yards by six yards, being rolled up and placed in the hollow of a small bamboo, one foot and a half long, and two and a half inches in diameter. Throughout Mysore silk manufacture has always flourished. The rich texture and costly patterns of the silks of Bangalore are well known, and Tumkur also produces fine material. The disease amongst the silkworms has however caused a considerable decline in the manufacture. One example is shown of the Bangalore woollen carpeting woven with the same pattern on both sides, and noted for durability. Bangalore woollen pile rugs are also exhibited, with the note that the trade in these for export has fallen o.T since the weavers adopted aniline dyes. I.— THE IMPERIAL COURT. ^'■'^^ It has already been explained in the prefatory remarks, J). 11, that the useful products of India which are collected in the Imperial or Economic Court, which we will now examine, are arranged on a diflferent plan from that of the Art Courts. The raw products and rough manufactures which have been collected together to illustrate the resources of India, have been grouped together in successive divisions, which are described with scienafij exactitude in the special catalogue. For those who wish to enquire more par- ticularly into any special group of products, it is only needful io explain that each exhibit is numbered, and a reference to the Index Collection arranged on the walls of the Court, so as to appear exactly opposite to the correspond- ing commercial collections, will facilitate the study of the larger samples dis- played on the tables and trophies or in the glass cases. The whole of this Court may be described as a survey of the economic reso arces, the productive ^__________ The Empire of India. 73 powers, and the commerce of India. The magnitude of the foreign trade of India enables it to rank as the fifth great cx)mmeroial power in the world The total value of the external sea-borne trade of India may be said roughly to be 166 millions of pounds sterling, of which 70 millions represent exports and 85 millions imports. Of this the commerce between India and the United Kingdom claims 86 millions sterling, of which 36 millions represent exports and 50 millions imports. To form a complete estimate of tho foreign commerce of India, we must add to this the land trade across the frontiers, which amounts to about 12 millions sterling. The staples of this commerce are illustrated in this Court. The visitors will do well to try and realise the fact that the coUection of the fruits of the earth, the implements and the results of human labour, and the illustrations of the rural life which present them- selves one after the other, represents a population of 252 millions, and an area of cultivated land of ovei- 189 millions of acres. The Forest Trophy.— The massive archway 9vbich fonns the entrance to the Court is constructed entirely of Indian timbers, and designed by Mr. F. B. Manson, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Chutia Nagpur, Bengal. The middle portion xs 22 ft. broad, and rises to a height of 15 ft. ; the side parts are 12J ft. high. The total breadth of the trophy is 46 ft., and it is 5 ft. in thick- Dess. It contains 3000 specimens of useful timbers. The timber specimens used in its construction belong mostly to the Bengal Economic Museum, and have been lent by the Government of Bengal. Tho trophy includes also the greater part of Mr. J. S. Gamble's collection described in his "Manual of Indian Timbers." The specimens so described are marked with a letter followed by a number; the letter denotes the region from which 3ach specimen was obtained. In addition to these collections a large number )f new blocks of wood, furnished by the Inspector General of Forests, have ilso been built into the trophy. The very extensive series of timbers thus )rought together has been arranged on the trophy in geometrical patterns, tnd on either side of the arches are placed fretwork panels of teak wood in Jabesque design. A border of alternating dark and light woods surround he entire framework. The pilasters are supported by large slabs of timber, )evelled to show the grain of the wood. For the construction of the orna- lental arches some of the principal Indian timbers procurable in Calcutta, iz., teak, sdl, sissu, and pine have been used. The geometrical tracery of the anels forming the plinth on either side of the middle arch is of teak nd sissu; whilst that of the pilasters on each side of the smaller arches is of eak. Immediately close to the arch are articles of furniture carved from the ifood of tho Padouk or Andaman redwood tree. The table constructed of one mplete section shows the enormous size which this dark red, close-grained hd hard wood attains. The Bamboo !ZVop%.— Occupying the c(mtre of the Court, and conspicuous y Its height, the great object of attraction will undoubtedly be the Bamboo rophy, which consists of an arch over the central transverse path leading from le Art Ware Courts, a-ZS contains one of the most perfect collections of bamboos ?er exhibited. This-^fkmiliar name of the gigantic grasses has, Hke so many 74 The Empire of India. other terms, come to us through the Portuguese piouecrs of European trade and settlement in India. The trophy consists of a platform raised 12 ft. above the floor on four columns. The steps on either side are covered with split bamboo arranged in geometric patterns which are continued on the tioor of the plat- form. The forty steps of the two staircases exhibit forty diflferent designs ami ten species of bamboo. In all, thirty species of bamboo are exhibited in the trophy, for full explanation of which the curious are referred to the index sot on the adjacent walls. The number of objects made of bamboo which are hung over the trophy far from exhausts the uses and applications of this, as it may be called, most versatile gift of nature to the Indian and Indo-Chineso peoples. FruitB and Vegetables.— A ooUection, partly of models made at the Botanic Gardens of Saharanpore, under the supervision of Mr. J. F. Duthio, and by the Krishnagur modellers employed by the Government of India, and partly of actual fruits, such as will bear the transport and keep good in the glass cases, is supplemented by a largo collection of preserved fruits, jams, and pickles. With regard to the fruits, it will be a surprise to many to hoar that the fruits of the East are, it is believed, much overrated in Europe. Many of the best of Indian fruits have been introduced from Europe, China, the West Indies, and America. The most characteristic modem fruits of India are the mango, guava, litchi, pine-apple, and plantain. Of these the mango is far the most popular fruit in India. Colonel Yule in his Glossary says that the royal fruit, the mangifera indica, when of good quality is one of the richest and best fruits of the world. The origin of the word is Tamil mdn-kay, i.e. man fruit. The Portuguese formed from this manga which we have adopted as mango. Numerous varieties of jams, pickles, and chutnoys, prepared from this celebrated fruit are to be found amongst the exhibits. ^ttte.—Together with the fruite are samples of nuts, a tei-m which in India includes ground nuts and seeds the edible pine. The true almonds, which are a sacred offering common to the Hindoo and the Jain, as well as a regular ingredient in cookery, especially in a savoury pillao, are imported by the traders of Afghanistan and Persia. The Afghnr. traders also supply the hazel nut, the walnut, and the pistachio nut, from Afghanistan and Kashmir. ^ The Singara nut (647), which is grown on an aquatic weed, forms in some parts of the country an important article of food. It is stated that in Kashmir 30,000 persons are dependent upon this wild plant for food during certain months. Cocoa JVMf.— Near the bamboo trophy is a most interesting collection ol objects made from the common cocoanut palm (properly called coco and vulgarlj coker), exhibited by Mr. Pereira, of Bombay. Eighty-three articles are enumer ated. The origin of the name of this well-known and useful palm, which to tb early travellers and medisBval writers was known as the Indian nut, is suggest© to be the old Spanish coca, a shell, although the Portuguese and Spaniards saj that it was called coca because it looks like the face of a monkey or some othe anim£vl. Vegetables.— The vegetables met with in India are readily divided into tw sections of indigenous and introduced. Of the latter it may be said tha The Empire of India. ' 75 European fruits and vegetables, though often growing luxuriantly, rarely attain tho same flavour as their European congeners. Of these, however, the cabbage, tlio cauliflower, and radish, alone are eaten by the natives of India, but not until thoy are over-grown and coarse. From America the potato and the egg-apple, or hrinjal, have been introduced. As to the indigenous vegetables, India may be lowed as the region of the cucumber and the melon, with a large series of allied lints, all of which yield valuable fruits and vegetables, and furnish a great )roportion of the food of the people. It is almost impossible to arrive at any Hofinito idea as to the extent of the internal trade in vegetables. Nothing is more characteristic of tho Indian village than its bazaar or market-place, and it would be difficult to find a bazaar where the egg-apple, the melon, the cucumber, ' pumpkin, and the radish, were not offered for sale alongside of rice plantains id chillies. The foreign trade in vegetables has increased in the last five years Vera about £20,460 to £21,963 ; the bulk of these exports go from Bombay, Nearly the whole of the pot-herbs are wild plants which require no cultivation, md they illustrate one of the most striking features of India, for in few ■countries in the world are so many edible products to be procured for the rouble of collecting, edible products too which enter largely into the dietary of ho mass of tho people. Puhes.— By themselves under the head of " Pulses " will be found tho varioHfl eguminous seeds which under the name of ddl and gram, the lentils (which urnish the vaunted and really beneficial food for invalids known as revalenta), md others occupy an area of cultivation of forty-eight millions of acres. The !;rain merchant's shop, in which the varieties of this collection are shown, eproduces one of the most curious and interesting features of an Indian bazaar.' Grains.— One of the most important collections is that of the grains, which nay be popularly described as rice, wheat, barley, oats, Indian com, and the rarious forms of millet. Of these, rice is the most valuable of all the cereals to he inhabitants of India. It is the principal food in Bengal, Burma, Orissa and ho eastern portion of Central India, the southern parts of Madras, and the vestern districts of Bombay. In the Punjab, the North West Provinces, md Oudh, Behar, and the northern parts of the Central Provinces, and Gujerat, lie poorer classes live chiefly on millets, supplemented by barley and gram,' vhile the rich only use wheat and rice. In tho southern part of the Central 'rovinces, Berar to Bombay, Decoan and the northern part of Madras, the juar lud hajra are the staple foods, and in Mysore the small millet known as raggy •!• ragi, furnishes the principal provision. In Assam rice is the staple with the ddition of Indian Corn and Job's Tears. The estimate of the total area of and annually under cereals is 119,400,000 acres, of which nearly sixty millions re devoted to rice. As there are many forms, so there are several crops of his essential grain which is, in truth, the staff of life to at least one-third of he Indian population. For the foreign trade, which, however, may be said to lave been almost ruined within the past few years, the chief supply comes from he abundant harvests of that most prosperous province British Burma, while bengal supplies a small proportion. "Where rice cannot be cultivated the nillets invariably take its place as the staple food crop of the mass of the •eople. Even in wheat-producing districts this is true. Dr. Hunter is of 76 The Empire of India. opinion that, taking India as a whole, it may be affirmed that the staple food grain is neither rice, nor wheat, but millet. Excluding the special rice tracts, varieties of millet are grown more extensively from Madras in the south, at least &3 far as Eajputana iu the north. Wheat. — The development of the export trade in wheat within the last fifteen years is one of the most remarkable facts recorded in the Eeports of the material progress of India. Of the two divisions the soft wheats are in most demand for the United Kingdom, while the hard forms which are preferred by the natives of India are in great request in the Italian market for the manu- facture of macaroni. The total area under wheat cultivation in the year 1B84- 85 has been calculated at 20,306,404 acres, the Punjab taking the lead with itt eight millions of acres, while Bengal had only one million. > ,; .^r .f^i; Grain Trophy. — AH these grains are combined in the structure of th( Grain Trophy, the idea of which is taken from the famous tomb of Itmdd-ud Dowlah at Agra, the beautiful marble geometric mosaics having been imitated by glasp panels of coloured grains. On the outside elevations there are large panels, iwo of which are devoted to rice, two to wheat, two to Indian corn, one to barley and oats, and one to millets and Job's tears, a curious grain wbicli is cultivated in Assam and among the Eastern frontier hill-tribes. Sixteen smaller panels are filled with the pulses, and the remainder with other edible grains and oil aeeds. The interior is filled with grains in ear, and Indian corn ooba. In the four corners of the room are shown commercial samples of th« grains, and in the centre a group of three women modelled in clay " grinding at the mill." Near it are cases containing special displays of wheat exhibite« by the Bombay Commercial Committee, and collections of rice from Benga and Burma. Sugars, — The raw and refined sugars exhibited by Messrs Turner, Morris, k Co., of Calcutta, and Messrs, Carew & Co., are examples of a cultivation anda trad( which are more important at present for Indian internal commerce than for th( prospects of increased exportation. The 1,922,000 acres of sugar-cane cultiva tion may be said to yield two million tons of coarse sugar. Besides sugar-cane sugar is obtained from the date palm, or toddy palm, of Bengal, and the palmyr or toddy palm, of South India, Bombay, and Burma ; but the exports, in whid the sugar-cane produce cannot be discriminated from other produce, oul amounted to one million cwts., as against the two million tons just mentione( Improvements in the present defective method of expressing the juice, am gradual removal of the prejudice against refined sugars amongst the natives o India, who chiefly consume gur or raw sugar, will doubtless give a large stimuli! to the internal trade. A model prepared at Poena in order to show the method o crushing the sugar-cane in the Bombay Presidency, is exhibited in the Agri cultural annexe. The primitive pestle mill is still the machine most general! used over the greater part of India for the extraction of cane juice. Th method of working it is shown in the model village. Narcotics and Stimulants. — Of the Indian narcotics and stimulants, the firs place is naturally taken by the product of the poppy, commonly called Opium from its Greek term omov (opion), from which as a Government monopoly, th Government of India draws an average revenue of nine millions arising froi The Empire of India. 77 " provigion " opium, t.c. opium sont to China, while tho immouBo internal consump- tion of "oiciso" opium, i.e. opium consumed in India, gives a return of about £800,000 more. The cultivation of opium is highly remunerative to the culti- vator, who obtains an advance in two instalments, and has a certain market, but for all this, opium production is not popular, and eflforts to extend poppy cultiva- tion have boon resisted keenly. The mod j of preparation, and tho various stages of the opium aro completely illustrated in the collection, as well as by the models. Another Narcotic, almost peculiar to India, is Indian hemp, which in one or other of its forms, is either smoked as ganja and charas, or consumed as hasheesh liquor, or eaten in the form of majun, a special sweetmeat, the last two forms being preparations of 6Aa»^, the young leaves and twigs of the semi-wild plant gathered in tho North West Provinces, where ganja is not allowed to bo cultivated. Tho distillation of spirits is under the Exciso department, the revenue derived by Government from excise being on an average four millions and tho departmental collection of spirits and drugs, together with the appliances and instruments used in smuggling, well repays examination. The universal Indian still is illustrated by a model, one-quarter the actual size. Attention is called to the exhibits of beer produced by the hill breweries, tho more important of which are in Madras and the Punjab, and whose ale and beer are of an excellent quality, as may bo seen by tho fact that the import of foreign beers in 1884-85 was 194,531 gallons less than in the previous year. Another novelty is the exhibit by his Highness tho Maharaja of Kashmir of the wines and spirits prepared in his kingdom. The white wine obtained at Calcutta International Exl-bition, a gold medal for its purity and superior quality. Indian tea and Indian tobacco aro considered in a court allotted to them although they naturally take a most important place among the products of this class. , ^;-v) ■.,...:..". i,y tm.-. Drugs.— There are over thirteen hundred plants reputed by the natives of India to possess remedial properties; and as in all popular herbals which exist unwritten as having been handed down from unknown antiquity by tradition, a great number even of the most highly-esteemed are valueless. The Sub- Court devoted to drugs and medicines contains examples of over one hundred indigenous drugs, which have almost all attained a European reputation, and which most thoroughly deserve to be more extensively used. From Nepaul a large series of aconites, accompanied with botanical specimens of the plants from which the roots were obtained, has been sent by Dr. Gimlette. The raonkshood or wolvesbane, which grows on the Himalayan heights, from an altitude of 10,000 feet to the highest limits of vegetation, is equalled if not surpassed m its poisonous and its curative powers by its congener the Indian or Nepaul aconite. The specimens of cinchona or Penivian bark numbered 780, bear their silent witness to tho success of an entei-prise undertaken by the Government of India to acclimatise if possible this invaluable tree and so to bnng within reach of the population of India what up to that time had been too costly a remedy. This was primarily due to the travels and labours of Mr Clements Markham, C.B., devoted to the examination of the cinchnnas of Peru 78 The Empire of India. in thoii- native forests, and their impoi-tation to and ultimate establishment in India in 1860. The product of the Government plantations at Darjiling and on the Nilgiris amounted together in 1884-85 to 457,218 lbs., most of which was manufactured into febrifuges. Extensive private plantations also exist in Southern India, and the exports in 1884-85 were valued at nearly £100,000. Fibres. — We now come to the vegetable libres of India. The more important of these, such as cotton, juto, rhoa, and ether commercial fibres and paper materials, are exhibited in separate sub-cour ;s, and require separate notice. But besides these there is an extensive series of fibres which are regularly used by the natives of India, though the large majority are unknown to the textile manufacturers of Europe. The Indian flora contains over 300 fibre-yioldinji; plants, one-third of which afford strong and useful fibres. Some of those will bo found illustrated in the ' Ropo Trophy,' near which are excellent samples ol stair-carpets and door-mats made of the well-known coir or cocoa-nut fibre. Cotton. — The samples of cotton prepared by the Commercial Exhibition Com- mittee of Bengal represent the most valuable article of Indian export trade. In India there are 14 million acres annually under cotton, without Including Bengal and Assam, of which no returns are published, and the exports for the year 1884r-85 amounted to 5,060,057 cwt., representing a value of £13,286,367. It is noteworthy that to the English manufacturer Indian cotton is, comparatively speaking, of secondary importance. Of the exports above quoted not quite one- half was consigned to England, and nearly half the amount of this was re exported to the Continent. The largest market for Indian cotton is found in Italy. Cotton manufactures will be found in a special collection prepared by the Chamber of Commerce of the Cottonopolis of India, the great city of Bombay, the mills of which, both in magnitude and completeness, rival any of our most famous English cotton factories. In 1882-83 out of 62 cottons mills in all India, as many as 46 were in the Bombay Presidency. Of these 29 were iii the island of Bombay, the rest almost without exception being in Gujerat. The total capital thus employed in the Bombay Presidency was estimated at £900,000, and the total amount of raw cotton worked up in the year was estimated at 1,232,000 cwts. as compared with 4,742,624 cwt. exported from Bombay in the same time. The latest returas showed an advance in the valu of exports of manufactured cottons of nearly one million pounds, those of the raw material having declined in equal proportion. The total Indian foreign trade in cotton was valued at over 41 millions. In addition to the cotton exhibits from Bombay, special collections will bo found from Bengal, the North West Provinces, and Assam. Jute. — If Bombay be tho Cottonopolis of India, as the Presidency of Bombay contains the best cotton lands, the cultivation and manufacture of jute is a Bengal industry, and Calcutta is the emporium of the great foreign jute trade, The first commercial mention of the word "jute" is in the customs returns of the exports for 1828. In that year 8G4 cwt., valued at £62, of raw jute were exported to Europe. The manufacture of gunny-bags and cloth was then entirely in the hands of Indian peasants, but the trade must have been limited since there does not appear to have been any foreign exports in those jute manufactures. Jute mills were, however, early established in Dundee, and a The Empire of India. 79 large export trade in raw jtito sprang into existence. Down to the year 1864 little or no effort was made to improve the Indian jute manufactures, but in that year the *' Ishera Yarn Mills Co." was established at Seramporo. Throe years later the company, now known as the *' Baranagore Jute Mills," was established, and in 1863-64 the *' Gowripore Jute Factory " was founded. Factories sprang up rapidly in every direction round Calcutta. Tlioro are now twenty-three large juto i^'lls at work in India, and in 1884-85 the exports of raw jute amounted to £4,601,368, and the exports of manufactured jute to £1,543,869, showing the startling fact that the value of the foreign trade in jute in 1828 was only ^62 sterling, and 1885-6 it was £6,241,568. Bhea. — One of the first and most important of the commercial fibres, not so much in its present as in its probable future utility, is rhoa. The prize offered by the Government of India for the most perfectly successful machine for separating this fibre was, it is true, not awarded, no single machine being deemed able to comply at the time Avith all the requirements ; but strenuous endeavours have within recent years been made to overcome the difficulties of dealing with rhoa grass, and the difficulty of the separation of the fibre has been overcome. The high price of the fibre itself, together with its exceptional strength and durability, unfit it for many purposes. The Glenrock Company, Limited, of the Wynaad, Madras, exhibit an interesting collection of their fibres, showing not only rhea but also tv/o or three of the allied rhea fibres, including the so-called wild rhea of South India. The wild rhea of Assam, and various Nilgiri nsttles, and, in addition, pine-apple fibre and Manilla hemp, together with a large assortment of aloe fibre, are also on view. Paper. — The art of paper-making in India dates from the time of the great emperor Akbar, and wus first practised in Kashmir. Rapidly it spread all over India, displacing the birch bark used by the hill-tribes, and the palm leaves which served the people of the plains as the vehicle on which they incised with a stylus their accounts and written records, and of which examples are shown in the Education exhibits. It is probable that the inhabitants of the Eastern Himalaya, long previously to that era, derived the art of paper-making as [practised in Nepal from China. The Nepal papers, of which extensive DoUections are exhibited, are prepared from the bark of two sorts of daphne, and from the fibre of a plant which grows along the Himalaya, and has recently been found plentifully on the mountains of Manipur, extending to the northern frontier of Burma. The paper manufacture of India, like the paper trade of England, is still seeking for a now material. The paper trophy, as well lis the special show case contributed by the Bengal Exhibition Committee, shows the paper materials ; the half stuff's, the manufactured papers from all parts of India. The Bally Paper Mills of Calcutta, and the Upper Indian Paper Mills of Lucknow, are the chief contributors ; but besides, a largo collection of jail Hnd native-made papers fi'om all parts of India is exhibited. Oil Seeds. — In his Review of the Seaborne Foreign Trade for 1884-85, Mr. O'Conor says of oil seeds : " This trade has developed in recent years into one of the first importance, exceeding greatly the trade in wheat, rice, jute, both raw and manu- factured combined, and indigo or tea, and being exceeded only by cotton or opium." In 1879-80 the quantity and value were respectively 709,469 cwt. 80 The Empire of India. and £4,685,892. In 1884-85 the corresponding returns were 1,825,688 cwt. and £10,745,203, the increase in five years being about 78!^ per cent, in quantity and 69^ per cent, in value. Linseed, rape seed, til, or gingelly seed, extracted from the seed of the sesame plant, poppy seed, earth nuts, and castor seed are the principal articles of exportation. They have here been mentioned in order of their respective aggregate values thus: — Linseed, £4,192,934; Kapeseod, £2,683,590; Sesame or Gingelly, £1,923,002; Poppy, £409,159; Earth Nuts, £361,406; Castor, £2,103,379. The export trade of linseed, which the above figures show to represent more than half the commerce in seeds, is divided between the ports of Calcutta and Bombay, which now ships nearly five million out of the total of 8,746,596 cwt., while Calcutta, which, in the year 1880 posKessed four-fifths of the total trade, now returns the lesser moietj'. The bulk of the exports, viz., 4,731,138 cwt, go to the United Kingdom, i'rance receiving only 1,650,659, and the United States 1,231,437 cwt. The tei-m " rapeseed " includes also the Indian mustard, for the true mustard is scarcely met with in India. Of these there wew collectively exported 459,281 cwt., valued at nearly three millions. The trade name of the sesame seed, which comes next in importance, is another instanw of commercial nomenclature derived from the first Portuguese traders. In Colonel Yule's " Glossary " it is traced step by step from the Arabic al-jaljuldn, corrupted by the Spaniards into aljonjoli, and so gradually transformed into jinjali or gingeli. It is used in India for culinary purposes, for anointing, and also in soup furniture, and as a lamp oil. It sh.-^ es with the ground nuts the reputation of being employed by European importers to furnish a sham olive oil. Of the latter the cultivation may be described as a modem industry, the trade in oil as a substitute for olive oil having within the past thirty or forty years developed in an almost unprecedented manner. The value of the exports of ground nuts from India rose between 1879 and 1885 from nearly £17,000 to something over £360,000 ; and jthe exports from the French ports in India were but little short of the same amount, the total value being thus just over half a million sterling, The bulk of this seed is shipped for the continent, principally to France and Italy. France is said to import from all countries 33 million francs' worth ol the ground nuts, of which India only supplies 2^ millions, but it is believed that the oil expressed from these nuts, as well as that from gingeli seed, finds iti way into the markets of Europe as olive oil. Oils. — Of the exports of prepared oils nearly three-fourths are castor oil, the annual export of which is about 3 million gallons, valued at about £300,000, the coooa-nut oil being the only other of any importance. Of this over a million and a-half gallons, valued at £162,000, were shipped to Great Britain and to France in 1884-85.;s"!^i ,'. tsmi' im^iiimfm-^^^^m-f oitv mu- ii>!i^ With the oils are associated the perfumes, headed by the delicate an( fragrant otto of roses, the utr or perfume par excellence, the chief seat of manu facture of which is at Ghazipur on the Ganges, bu+. which is also largely raadt in the North West Provinces and the Punjab. Among other essential oils usei in perfumery are found the oil of the carraway seed, a colourless or yellowisl oil obtained from the flower buds or flower stalks of the clove plant, the jasmin Thf Umpire of India, 81 lie mace the aniseed, and the patchouli; while the cananga odorata yielda tho perfume ylang-ylang, and tho sunflower seed oil is said to be an ingredient in the " incomparable macassar " oil. ^nffrf XYYf7^"!^'f ^"I'^-Among; the extracts and inspissated' sap4 Sub-court XXXIV.) first comes tho catechu or cutch of commerce This •esinous extract which is prepared by boiling down a decoction from chips )f the wood of the acacva catechu, figures variously as a condiment, or spit^ ,r as a med.cxoe.

In Europe, lac is largely made int sealing-wax. Dissolved into spirits it forms spirit vaniish. It is made int ce.nent, into luiiographers' ink, and is used to stiffen hats and other articlt constructed of felt. The exports of manufactured lac during the last recorda year amounted to £599,145. The exports of lae-dye, which in 1880 wet i£l3,020, have almost disappeared, the cause of this being the discovery an rapid extension of the use of the aniline dyes, which has been destructive n; only to the tinctorial but also to the textile industries of India. These che* colours have not only depraved the taste of the people, but have demoraliflj their indigenous ii:dustries. The soft delicacy and harmony of colour whid formerly characterised Indian fabrics have given place to the brilliant tintao the aniline cdours, while the reputation for durability formerly enjoyed u; Indian dye-i-tuvi's has been destroyed.

Med cott, has contributed an invaluable collection of the minerals and ores of Ind Many of these are already well known, but the maps furnished along with t collection will doubtless he much appreciated. A distinct feature of the collecti( and one new and full of interest, will be found to be the sectional geographii^ map of India, 40 feet long. A special series of maps is devoted to the coal fiel gf India, which will surprise many by their immense extent and wide distril tion. At present there are 80 coal mines woiked ia India, of which 78 are Bengal, one in the Central Provinces, and one in As-'Mim. The total output 1883 was 1,315,776 tons, and the number of people employed 23,172. 1 AGRICtTLTTTRAli IMPLEMENTS AND MODELS. The collection of agricultural implements displayed in the annexe adjoining t Economic Court, illustrated as it is by various models, will interest those vi have oven in a superficial way, as time and inclination may have led tli< J The Emp ire of India. g3 '"r*?'^^^'' ^T^':''' specimens of the pitxlucte of India. Dr. Hurter points out thav tho cultivation of the soil forms the occupation of the Indian people iu a sense which it is difficult to realise in England. Census returas show that the total of persons directly supported by cultivation is more than two- thirds of the whole agricultural males. The Famine Coirmissionors further estimated that 90 per cent, of the rural population livo more or les. by the tillage of the soil. It would con-itute in itself an industrial exhibition to lUustrate the infinite variety of agriculture in the different provinces. But everywhere the same patient industry prevails. The Indian agriculturists, so far as their stnct adhesion to the traditional practice and system handed down to them from generations will permit them, ure intelligent, ingenious and caie- lu farmers. Superficial observers will toU us that the natives of India are not auigent, but so far as the vast majority, who may be described as field-workers are a)neorned, no English farm nor even allotment could surpass their lands in caretul cleanliness, freedom from weeds, and utilisation of everything that their hereditary science or their own patient industry could suggest to get the best return that the ground and the season will admit of. Of tho models illustrative ot the a^cultural life of India, one represents an Indian village in Northern India, and was executed by natives of Lucknow. „,),j^.j^ ^^ ^ There are two admirable models of Bengal homesteads, 'the first being that )t a weU-to-do Hindu cultivator, and the other of a Mohammedan farmer, each loldmg about eight or ten acres. Other models successively illustrate various larm operations m Bengal, ploughing and sowing, rolling and levelling, hoeing md weeding, and the various methods of irrigating, reaping, threshing and s^mnowmg are aU faithfully represented, but for full descriptions of them we nust refer to the special catalogue. Of the agricultural implements and nachines which are represented one-third of the actual size, but in other respects are faithful copies of those in actual use, the chief characteristics to be )b8erved are the very small extent to which they are adapted to save hand- abour, the preponderance of wood in their construction, and the variations in onn of the same implement. Of ploughs, it may be generally said that the ndian implement has no resemblance whatever to any English plough, though t IS not unlike the plough used in countries south of Europe. The horse-hoe is he only English implement to which it can be compared. In no indigenous lough IS the share formed to invert the soil, wkich is really scraped or torn B the plough passes through it. For deep ploughing, it is necessary that the round be ploughed over half-a-dozen times, where twice, with a suitable nplement, would produce tho same result. With the exception of some heavy aneties, specially used in Southern and Central India, tho furrov/ made by an rdmary plough is seldom more than three inches in depth. Efforts have been >«we to introduce abetter design and more effective implements, especially y the introduction of an improved plougb, called Kaisar, at the Government tpenmental farm at Cawnpora This ploughs deeper than the native plough Bd completely inverts the soil; but it has been found necessary to devise a nplex plough to serve the doable purpose of inverting the soil and sowing ke the native implement, but the native cultivators have hitherto patronised i0?a only to a limited extent. Among the various agricultural implements, o 2 ^4 The Empire of tndid. a most curious one is the rice sledge (No. 27). The platform in so M.ade that all the parts give easily. On it the seedlings are laid in neat bundles, and it is drawn hy hullocka over the embankments and through the ruts and water- waste of the rice fields, where no carts could go, and yet without .Iropping one bundle of seedlings. . hf, ;, r«ii ETHNOLOGICAL SUB-COURTS. f;,,v ih • The Etlmological exhibits successively disposed throughout the Economic Court represent in life-like models, appropriately costumed and armed, men and women of , the wilder tribes which are found throughout the variouB countries of India in the hills and forests, and who are the descendants of the races who inhabited the country before the A an immigration, and for want of a better term may be called the indigenous races. It is impossible to do more than to give a list of the Courts in order. Thus commencing from the timber arch, first come the natives of the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Next are found the Karens of Burma. The Singphos, Mishmis, Nagas, and other hill tribes of Assam follow in due order, and are succeeded by Kols and Santals, and othei races from different territories in the Bengal Presidency. Bombay and Madras occupy the two next Sub-Courts, while the Central Provinces, Central India, and Rajputana are grouped together containing representatives, amongst othen of the Gonds amongst whom the practice of human sacrifice prevailed until put down by the Government of India, and the Bhils. Mysore, Coorg, and Hyder- abad succeed, and the last in order, come the North-Westem Provinces and Oudh and the Punjab. Full accounts of each of the races of tribes represented have been furnished by Dr. Watt in the Special Catalogue. Besides the figures the ordinary domestic and other utensils and arms of each are shown on the adjacent sides of the Courts. , ,; , . , ., . t-> ■(■.(;! , -'ir .-i.ri \r.'^'- • "• • " '■ ■'■■ '■■>■''■ f *■ vtr, >,; ■ -,'1 '>7(ia "j i.itiif'.n «.-ir'. •/:ii'l ,i-;!.iv. ■ii\ .!>■■' > . ..otJ.>i.r.v THE TEA. COFFEE, AND TOBACCO COURT. ^ ,„r, ■ ' '' The Court devoted to the tea, coffee, and tobacco of India, is filled with th largest assortment of samples that has ever been collected together. The exhibit are displayed in glass vessels, arranged according to the districts : and the visitc can practically sample the beverages, and purchase packets for home testing. Up to the year 1823, China was believed to be the exclusive home of the tei plant, and to possess an indisputable monopoly of the tea trade. In that.yo the tea-plant was discovered to be indigenous in Assam, and the first attempt t introduce tea cultivation into India commenced about 1830. The Government o India employed Mr. Fortune to collect varieties of the Chinese plants and 1 unpod seeds, and labourers skilled in the cultivation, Assam being selected i the first locality for the new enterprise. The first twelve chests of tea froi Apsam were received in England in 1838. From Assam the cultivation of H extended into Cachar and Sylhet, and by degrees into the Hill districts, t North-Westem Provinces and the Punjab. Tea plantations were subsequent established, and are now flourishing in the Nilgiri Hills. The imporiance the tea trade is seen from the following statement :— The tea gardens m Ind are estimated to occupy an area of 260,286 acres, of which Assam and CaoM 1 The Empre of India. g5 pojwefls over 188,000, while nearly 60,000 are in Bengal. The North- WoBt I'rovinoea and the Punjab are equal with about 8000 each, and Madras has 5551 jicres. The quantity of Indian tea exported has increased from 26J million pounds in 1875 to 60 millions in 1884, representing a value of over 4 millions of pounds sterling. ,nr, ruStliU .,1 .fnu, j l,;.<,n rurr/ .,i„! f...(,;,-,f^f.,. The oofFee plantations of Southern Indir. have not boon prosperous of late years. The destructive leaf disease hac diminished the yield, while the prioea obtainable have fallen. The value of the total exports in 1884-85 was about £1,250,000. The cultivation of ooooa or cacao has only within recent yoais been intro- duced like cinchona from South America, but there are now thriving plantations in the Madras Presidency, and the trade is an increasing one. .•I.vunjj t Great attention has been paid, both by private growers and on experimental farms under the Government of Bengal, to the growth and cultivation of the tobaooo plant in India, and its subsequent manufacture. The exports of leaf and manufactured tobacco during the year 1884-85 were valued at £150,000. ' ^'' ' "" ' '■ ' THE KUCH BEHAB TROPHY. "" ' ;" ' ' "" ^ -•'»"•"'. At the head of the North Grand Avenue there is a striking scenic illustration of jungle life and tiger hunting, arranged by Mr. Eowland Ward, F.Z.S. In " The Jungle " are specimens and groups of great game ; in this division may bo noted, wounded boar finding refuge; cheetahs and axis; gaur, buffalo, bears and young, ovis ammon, ibex, goral, nilgai, markhor, Bara aingha, hog deer, blackbuck, an Albino blackbuck, sambur, leopards, &c., and many birds. Among the reptiles are alligators, pythons, and other snakes, lizards, &o. The Hunting Trophy immediately adjacent, is mainly due to the generous assistance of H.H. the Maharaja Kuch Behar. The scene represents a hunting elephant preceding the beaters, which has come upon a group of tigers, one of which he has stricken, while another has sprung upon him with deadly grip. Others are near, or retreating in the tall grass and bamboo copse. Among other animals of Kuch Behar are leopard, buffalo, various deer, bear, wild oat, boar, porcupine, monkey, &c.

The Survey of India Department contributes illustrations of the various processes by which the results of the surveying operations are transfoiTed to maps, and the maps themselves, in which are made accessible to every one the exact knowledge collected by the labours of science, and the observations of dauntless and patient explorers. The Revenue Settlement Maps and charts showing the internal trade and the emigration are both worthy of study. Everyone will be interested to learn of the large and constant emigration of Indian labourers to the tea-gardens of Assam, the Island of Mauritius, and to •the distant labour fields of the West Indies and Demerara, and even to our young but vigorous colony of Fiji. Some return after their contract of servioo expires, with their savings. Others remain as settlers. In the divisions of the Department of Finance and Commerce, besides tlio printed reports, there are exhibited specimens of the coinage of India, and the processes of the Mints. Patterns of all stamps used which make up a reventie of over three million pounds, are shown by Messrs. De la Rue. The Post Office shows from the different Presidencies models illustrating the peculiar means of carriage which are needed in distributing the 184 millions of letters, cards, &c., delivered throughout India in one year, models of mail runners and riders, &c. Specimens of buffahi horns sounded to scare away wild beasts in Assam, or bows and arrows carried for defence in Rajptitana, carts, coaches, boats and rafts are ranged according to the particular provinces. Our printers and bookbinders can compare the tools and work of their Indian fellow-craftsmen. The Home Department sends a most curious and complete illustration of the means and appliances employed in the 111,237 schools with their 2,790,061 pupils inspected in 1882-3. The indigenous schools of the Punjab, and all schools not inspected aie of course omitted. The model of an indigenous school in Bombay is well worthy of examination. The model shown by the Public Works Department, illustrating the Indian railway carriages, the public buildings, and the great works constructed foi irrigation, on which the lives of millions constantly depend, can only be pointed out as claiming much more than a passing glance. QitJ io oiua xliiou The Military and Marine Department, in additioti to the portrait models "V^rhich stand round the vestibule, contributes not only descriptions but various models illustrating the internal economy of the army, and the soldier life and work in barracks. The medical ambulances, the war material, elephant khed- dahs for catching the wild elephants, which become the most useful and docile servants, and other instructive exhibits, will be found illustrated in the some- what confined space available, ; i . , The Forest Department has charge of the ihimenfe tracts of forest, the dn6 The Empire of India. fl7 conservation of which is noedftil not merely for the supply of timber, but for the guarding against the nooes«ary rainfall being, as has happened in so man^ districts, lessened even to drought, by the denudation arising from indiscriminate destruction of timber.

A special collection illustrating not only the silk manufactures, but also the ixact state of sericulture in India, is arranged in cases lining the half of thd iurved passage around the Durbar Hall. Under the joint auspices of the lovemraent of India and the Eoyal Commission, Mr. Wardle, who is well known s having done more than anyone else to promote improvements in the growth f raw silk as well as the manufacture of silks in India, has been charged with naking the collection. Not only is the finer product of the mulberry silkworm xhibited, but also that of what is known as the tussar as well a« the muga and ria worms, noticed in the view of the Assam Court. Important improvements a the method of reeling the raw silk from the cocoons have recently been n-ade, nd appear to promise a more hopeful future for the Indian silks. . - . . ' ^.t ilfAihf . THE INDIAN PALACE; ii-'-i« sn^^a^ili il,; i , .ir-> Previous Exhibitions have served to illustrate some of the multitudinous Arts ad products of our Indian Empire, but it has been left for this occasion to ring before us the technical processes of their manufactures, the application nd use of objects which otherwise would have remained but beautiful curios, uitable only for the glass cases of a Museum. For this purpose the Secretary of the Royal Commission made arrangements wt year for the utilisation of Indian Art work (as far as possible) in the con- truction and decoration of the Courts, and submitted for the approval of [.R.H. the President, a plan for the draping of the vestibule with Indian rmted cottons, the separation of the Courts by carved wooden and stone Mens, the construction of a Palace Durbar Hall in carved wood, and in con- ection with it the peculiar feature of most oriental Palaces, a " Karkhaneh," or wkshop, where jewellers, weavers, carvers, and others would cairy on their •ades, and produce before the visitors the marvellous and beautiful objects of leir handiwork. At the request of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, the Lords of the Committee Council on Education gave permission to Mr. C. P. Clarke, C.I.E., the Keeper the India Museum, to visit India, and this gentleman returned m May last, mng completed the necessary arrangements, and brought .bftck a party oi ood-carvers, who immediately commenced the Durbar Hall. 88 The Empire of India. Tho great Btoue gateway proHented to the South KensiiiKton Museum by His IlighnesB the Maharaja Sindhia having also l)oon lent by the Anthoritiea of tho Science and Art Department, a design made by Mr. Pardon Clarke whilst in India was approved, and the gateway incorporated with tliu Durbar Hall and artizans' shops. The whole now roprcHonts a typical Koyal Palace and Court- yard, with shops overlooked by an Audience Hall, and the public jiortions of an Indian Pulaco in tho Hindu-PerBian style known as Moghal. Protected V»y two bastion towers and loopholed walls, tho courtyard is entered through tli( Gwalior gateway, a remarkable example of modern Indian Art which would alone merit a visit to tho Exhibition from the richness of its decoratiou, and peculiarity of construction, so completely at variance with our system of masonr}'. It was designed, and the work of execution superintended, by Major James Keith, the Curator of Antiquities at tho Gwalior Fort. The shops surrounding three sides of the courtyard number thirteen, and seven more lino a passage on the right which leads to tho Piivate Exhibitoib Gallery. These aro raised about two feet above the level of tho pavement, and eaoh front is divided into Lhree openings by columns and foliated arches witii lattice panels over. • .1' On the fourth side is a wide porch extending back and on cither side ; thi low ceiling being supported by cross beams, and many columns with bracka capitals. Here are the carpet looms, and office whero all arrangements are madt and orders received for work to be executed by the artiziins in the courtyard. Passing through tho porch, or Hall of Columns, the garden vestibule reached, a building of somewhat mixed character, partaking more of the form and construction of a largo marquee tent than the glirapsea of solid masonry showing through the tent-like hangings will admit. The mosaic floor and curious tank fountain again add to this look of solidity, which is confirmed ly the red sandstone staircase leading up to tho Durbar Hall overlooking tLe Palace courtyard. This room is certainly the most remarkable object in the Exhibition, beiuj of foreign origin, yet made in the Exhibition by two natives of Bhera in th Punjab. Entered on the east side through a triple arched opening, the Hall i seen at a coup-d'oeil, and visitors are bewildered with the mass of intricat ornament which covers the walls and ceiling. The foliated arches of the head of the thirteen recessed windows are again repeated in the casements, and th peculiar bracketed cornice carries another line of these graceful arches rouD the room. The pictures relating to India are exhibited in the Upper Gallery of tB Royal Albert Hall. ■.■,5^1 M ^-A ;•»!•!.. \/^ or,- '!■ .'■' 1 < :r. i) ■\i ii.i--. ■"i •'lii 1; ii)itf iun • If rrn vith:* liU\. ir.

' I . . . . - ~ 1. ) . rw Domiuion of Canada occupies the northern half of the North American continent It covera iaareaof3.o00 000 8vi.^^ ,,4i -..^^^ „ 02 Canada. The Government of Canada, as at present constituted, is a representative one, the executive authority being vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain, and carried on in the name of the Crown by a Governor-General, assisted by a Privy Council. The legislative branch consists of a Dominion Parliament, composed of two houses. The Upper House, or Senate, consists ol laembers who are appointed for life by the Governor- General in Council. The House of Commoiu is a purely representative body, elected by the people, the representation being apportioned to the various provinces in the ratio of their population. Bach province enjoys local self-government, having a provincial legislature elected by the people, and a Lieutenant-Governor appointed by the Federal Government. There is also a very perfect system of municipal governraett throughout the Dominion. Both the counties and townships have local governments or councils which regulate their local taxation for roads, taxes for schools and other purposes, so that eveij man directly votes for the taxes which he pays. This system of responsibility, from the munioipalitios up to the General Government, causes everywhere a feeling of contentment and satisfaction, the people, with truth, believing that no other form of government which can lie devised on earth can give them grcRter freedom. The utmost religious liberty everywhere prevails in Canada. Persons coming to the Dominica from Europe, of every religious persuasion, will find their own churches and abundaat faciliti« for the practice of their faith among neighbours who will sympathise with their views. Before school boartls were eetablished in England the Dominion had a well-organised systes of public or common schools in operation, iu which instruction is not merely confined to th) rudiments of education. In many cases the higher branches are taught, and the children receivi a sound practical education, fitting them for any ordinary position in life. Both in the oounti; districts and in the towns boards of trustees, elected by the people, manage the affairs of th public schools. Provision is also made for the establishment of separate schools in district whero the inhabitants are divided in their religious opinions, and mixed schools are not possibU The public schools are absolutely free, and are supported partly by a local tax and portly byi grant from the Provincial Treasury. In addition, there are grammar schools in all parts of th country, managed like the public schools, at which, as well as at the many excellent prlvati schools, pupils receive a good classical and modem education. Above these again are tli high schools, collegiate institutes, and universities, the latter liberally endowed with scholarahiin where the cost of attendance is comparatively so small as to place the facilities for educatlw they offer within the reach of all. There are also schools of surgery and medicine in th larger cities, and the religious denominations also have colleges at which young men m prepared for the ministry. The higher education of girls is also met in the fullest manne by numerous high schools, generally denominational in character. In fact, means of eduoatioi from the highest to the lowest, everywhere abound in the Dominion, i, ?^'' t^'fii"f "pr y The variations of the Canadian climate are less than in many oonntr^eB of mwh smalU extent. But throughout nearly its whole area Canada is characterised by a greater heat < Bomraer, and a lower temperature in winter than in corresponding European latitudes. Th climate of the eastern and especially of the western provinces is moderated by the Atlantic an Pacific Oceans respectively, while the great water system of rivers and lakes, which extend throughout the Dominion, helps to prraerve an equable climate in the Interior provinces. Tl degrees of latitude, therefore, are a very imperfect guide to the character of the Canadian clima as compared with that of the British Isles, and any statement of the mean temperature of the U is deceptive. The severity of the winter, as tested by the thermometer, leads to a very exaggerati impression of Canadian experiences. Owing to the dry, clear, bracing atmosphere which general! prevails, the sense of discomfort produced by the raw easterly winds and damp fogs of Engine suggests an idea of cold such as is rarely experienced in a Canadian winter. There are, indee< ©very winter a few days of Intense cold, as in the summer there are brief periods of equally inteni heat, when the thermometer ascends, or descends, through a scale unknowm in the Englii climate. But throughout the greater part of the winter season iu Canada the sky is bright m dear, and the weather thoroughly enjoyable. Skating, snow-shoeing, tobogganing, and ofhe outdoor exercises, are in universal favour, and the sound ol the sleigh-bcils in the open thorougl fare adds to the exhilarating sense produced by the pure bracing atmosphere. Everywhere H appearance of the snow is hailed as seasonable and beneficial. It protects the wheat sown i Butump from the frost, affords f»ciUties to Iho farmer for bringing bis produce to roftrket, ai iji\n ' « ■•!# ,MOGHOJ ,HauoR08 ,rdi 01 lai 3m 33TAMiT33 Ql^h 8^01330 94 Advertiten^ents. k CO., PRIZE MEDAL AWARDED '^''^ i''^ " "'* ;- '''I "'•♦ "' ; prize MEDAL AWARDED CABINET MAKERS, INTERNATIONAL > iutifjw .tjiU jut^ MPitiiOiiivt -r/wv.

Fitly, therefore, does Captain Cook's monument proudly stand in Hyde Park, Sydney, overlooking tlie Antiixxlcan metropolis which has sprung up on tho shores of tlie series of cxquiaito bays which form tho Harbour of Port Jackson. It was not, however, until tho 13th of May, 1787, that any scrioud attempt to ittilise these uuw )>o8scssious of the British Crown was made. Then it was that Englnnd's great Imperial Minister — William Pitt — ded. Passing over the time of tho early explorers, such as Dawes, Patterson, Hacking, Cayley, Nana, and Bass, whose discoveries were confined to tlie coast line, we come to that of William Charles Went worth (afterwards tho most illustrious of Au.^tralian stntesmen), who, with (ircgory Ulaxlaud and Lieutenant William I^awson, in May, 18i:t, cfTertcd a pa88aq;e acro!>8 the Blue Mountains, and discovered tlu; groat plains of tiie interior. From this achievement of these throe pioneers, therefore, may be traced what ia accurately described as tho "opening up" of the country. Governor Aliieqnariu turned their discoveries to iiccount by sending Surveyor Evans and Major, afterwards Sir Thomas, Mitchell, to ojien up a jMua, following whoso disoovories of the "Wide We8t<'ru Slojum" came the merino sheep (introduced by Macarthur), and tho inauguration of tho jmstoral era of tho Colony. After the pastoral era (wo are compeUcMl in this brii f summary to procied by '* leaps and bounds") came the era o*" the gold discoverioo. This was followed !)y the full tide of emigration. Tho province of Port Phillip separated from the " Mother Colony "in ISfil, and became the Colony of Victoria; and siihstquenlly, in 185S>, tho district of Moreton Bny was constituted ft 150 New South Wales. Bepamte colony under tho nnmo of Queensland. From theso days the history of 'Now South Walet is one of ever increasing progress and prosperity. Tho " sottlement," with its population d 1,000 persons, has developed into a great solf-goveming colony, with a population of nearly i million, and with a metropolis, world-renownod for tho pre-eminent beauty of its site, of somi 300,000 souls. This briefly ia tlio history of New South Wales from Uio days of Governor Phillij to thoBO of Lord Carrington; and it ia a not unworthy or ignoble record of a century'i work in what tlio late Walter Baf^ehot would call •' Nation-making." Now South Wales is situated between tlio 28° 15' and 37° 35' south latitude, and tho 141" and 153° 85' cast longitude, and comprises nu area of 310,700 square miles, which in round nnmbera is some 200,0tJ0,0U0 acres, and about tiirco times tho 'extent of Great Britain and Ireland Sydney, the capital of the Colony, stands on tho shores of Port Jackson, a harbour of romantic beauty and surpassing loveliness, not having its equal in tho world. Wooded to tho water*! edge, and stretching inland in a hundred finely rounded bays, land-locked and secure, where all tho mercantile and armed fleets of tho world might ride at anchor at one time. Tho city extendi some four miles north and south, by a breadth of six miles oast and west. It has been estimated to contain about 125 miles of streets, and some 40,000 houses, with a population, inclusive o{ its extensive suburbs, of close on 1^00,000. Tho Botanic Gardens, Government Domain, Uydc Park, Princo Alfred Park, Belmoro Park, Victoria Park, Weutworth Park, Moore Park, and other public reserves, cover an area of 800 acres, and uro all easily accessible for purpf«es of recreation, forming, like those of London, the "lungs" of the rapidly iticreasing city. Not only is the population of the metropolis of the Colony increasing with wonderful rapidity, but tho city is being yearly more and more beautified by tho splendid new buildings that have been erected, both for business ond residential purposes. The main wealth of a country is of courso its territory, and it is to tho rich agricultural lands aa well as to the boundless pastoral plains of New South Wales that its present progress and future prosperity must l>o chiefly attributed. Glancing at the pastoral interest, it readi like a romance — though the romance bo cpdiedded in Mr. Goschen's favourite form of figures. In 1792 the live stock of New South Wales, which wa« then tho whole of Australia, consisted only of 23 head of cattle, 11 horses, 105 sheep, 43 pigs, and a few goat^. In 1885, or during a period of 90 years, the numbers had increased to 9,000,000 cattle, 80,000,000 sheep, 1,500,000 horses, 1,000,000 pigs. These numbers include tho live stock of New South Wales and tho other two colonies which separated from her, viz., Victoria and Queensland — as well OS those of Tasmania, South Australia, Wostem Australia, and New Zealand, which during tho same period have l)oen chiefly stocked from tho ofTspring of tho Mother Colony. In the annaU of the world's history, no country can show such a marvellous progress in pastoral ontorpriso; and the lucky "accident" of the introduction of the merino sheep, from which by careful breeding and natural diflerentiation from tho original Spanish type, New South Wales, at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878, " obtained the Grande Medaille d'Honneur," in competition against the whole world. With the increaso of population, and by the action of land laws specially designed to settle tho peoplo on small farms, agricultiuo has more tlmn kept pace with its older pastoral rival. Some 80,000 persona are engaged in agricultural pursuits alone, and 852,000 acres are under wheat, barley, oat», maize, and other cereals. This quantity is actually under crop, but some 34,000,000 acres comprise the agricultural holdings of the Colony, of which perhaps 28,000,000 acres are enclosed. The following table, compiled from the returns of 21st March, 1885, shows the quantity of land under cultivatiou and the produce of each crop : — ' ■ ! >• '»,.

It may be added that tb Protestant bishop of Sydney, the accomplished Dr. Barry, is the Bletropolitan : and that i\ head of the Roman Catholic Church, Dr. Moran, is tho first Cardinal who has been appoint« by tlie Pope to any British dependency. Tho Catholic and Protestant cathedrals of St. Mar and St. Andrew am two of the greatest architectural ornaments of the City. The education of tho rising generation has not been neglected by tho State. The Pnbli Instruction Act was passed in 1880, and under its provisions the teachers are classified as cir servants. Owing to the compulsory clauses, great progress has been effected in the matter d increased attendances, and now schools. The decennial return shows an increoMO from l,5Si schools in 1875, to 2,535 in 1884. and from 124,750 scholars to 202,510. If we add to theso lattc figures the numbers of those attending private schools, we should probably find a school popniatio of some 280,000, or almost ono-thirtl of the entire population of tlio Colony. Tho gma expenses of working tho Public Instruction Act — in school sites, building, furniture, &c., exceed £700,000 annually. The crown of the educational system of the Colony is tho University of Sydney, incorporated in 1851, and which owes its existencu largely lo tho patriotic efforts of the great Austrslua statesman, AVentworth. aided by Sir Charles Nicholson, and other prominent colonists. It enjoys a public grant of £10,000 annually, but has been enriched by princely bequests from wealthy colonists, the largest of which is that of Mr. Challhi, for £180,000. Its degrees and diplomas are botli recognised through tho British world, and its Professors and Lecturen, including, until his death, the illustrious Badham, have always been men of high academic distinction. Following the worthy example of the City and Guilds of the Ix)ndon Institute, the Board d Technical Education established a Technical College in August, 1 S83. Sydney also possosses a Museum, Free Public Library, and National Art Gallery, when much of tho genius and culture of tho Old 'W.vrld has been introduced into tho Now. It remains to add tlwt the public piess of the Colony bus kept pace with its othei progressive institutions; and in the admirable daily and weekly journals, the rcsidcDts o Sydney have the moans of knowiug what is going on ull over the civilised world. Even a summary so necessarily brief as this should ser?e to show that otur race in Now South Wales, though under brighter skies, and under somewhat more democratic social conditions, ImTo not in any way fallen back from their sires of the old land in tho unceasing strtiggle for cxisteo^'t that marks the progress of communities as well as the live* of individuals.

They sought for g and found it. A man named Esmond discovered it in quartz rock at Clunea. Then it i found at Buninyong and at Ballurat. When the reports reached Melbourne, members all classes were seized with the gold mania, and there was a "rush" to the gold-fiel Desks, offices, shops, ships were deserted. Closely following the Ballarat finds came those Mount Alexander and Bendigo. which fanned the flames of excitement to a frenzy. T people were " drnnk with the hope of gold." From every quarter of the globe ships saili into the once peaceful harbour. 'Victoria was crowded with searchers for fortune ; in oi year nearly 80,000 immigrants being added to the population of the Colony. Fr.)m that tin it has advanced with giant strides. Well may Victoria and its capital bo termed ma vellous ! Well may old men who remember C(jllins Street as a broken forest shake the heads when they gaze upon the fashionable crowd on the "Block," and feel like Tullivi that •' the world is too much for them." Who would recognise in the Melbourne of 1886 11 " bush town " of thirty years ago ? Then the streets were full of gum-tree stumps and deep ru The principal thoroughfare, Elizabeth Street, was for months in the year a flooded quagmi in which on one occiision a waggon and team of horses were absolutely swallowed up, ai bullock drays were daily bogged. Iron buildings and bark " humpies" were seen on eve hand, and what is now the important municipality of South Melbourne was a field of ten known as Canvas Tovm. The old pioneers who have not " made their pile " tell strani tales of the doings in those early days when Gold was King, and each man did that whi was right in his own eyes. Yet the records of crime are very slight. The rude, rough, ba life on the gold-fields, whilst it produced a few bushrangers, tempted by the enormous gpoii within their grasp, was not productive of petty off"encea. With gold flowing from eyei man's hand and pocket, hunger and want were unknown there. Melbourne may not hai been very moral in those days, but of » habitual " criminals it had few, and the vagwi and the pauper were unknown. Melbourne is now one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, and it is also the mo populous and important -.ity in the southern hemisphere. Including its suburban municipalitia eighteen in number, Al lying within a radius of ten miles from the Town Hall, It contain 325,000 inhabitants. Mr. Anthony Trollope well described it as "one of the most succaij^ cities on the face of the earth." It is well laid out with wide and regular streets, with brd Bide-walka well paved and lighted. Tree planting in the streets lias been extensively carriei on, giving a pleasant shade as well as refreshing the eye. The buildings are not only handsome but many are of •^eat architectural merit. The cathedrals and churches, schools, Parliamen Houses, Treasury, Town Hall, Post Office, Law Courts, Custom House, University, Museum, Pra Library, National Gallery, clubs, theatres, and other public institutions are worthy of specia admiration. The banking corporations are settled in buildings which would adorn Lombard o Threadneedlc Street. The wharfs on the banks of the Yarra now give accommodation to larp ocean-going steamers. The shops and warehouses are equal to those of most cities in the Oli World. Everything necessary to make life content and easy can be procured in Melbourne. Al the suburbs are connected with the heart of the city by railways and the most perfect system ol tramways iu the world. And the mansions in the fashionable suburbs are only less gratifying evidences of the prosperity of the people than the thousands of pleasant cottages which one sea on every road within a few miles of the city. Any visitor to the Colony must be struck with th( perfect arrangements for water supply. There is hardly tHe smallest cottage without its batl room. The most important reservoir is the Yan Yean, which is an artificial lake at the foot ol the Plenty Ranges, nearly nineteen miles from Melbourne proper. The numerous parks and reserves and public gardens in and around Melbourne are heritages sacred to the health and enjoyment of the people, which astonish the " new chum " from crowded European cities, whert one is taxed for space to breathe. This is above all a place for the people. In no large town of the world has a working man so many enjoyments as in Melbourne, or so many privilege* There is no State Church here, but free State schools give secular instruction to children whose parents may bo willing to accept it. Children between the ages of six and fifteen who do not attend the State school must give evidence that they are educated at a private ■ohool up to a given standard. The whole country, as well as the metropolis, is dotted with State schools. The Frei Library, Museum, and Picture Galleries, and the Botanic aad Zoological Gardeui affori f«« m Victoria. 175 eoreation and instruction to the labourer and mechanio, as well as to the clerk or shopman. elboume is plentifully furnished with provident, charitable, literary, scientific, and social nstitutions to suit all classes and creeds. In the matter of amusement, the inhabitants of the notropolis are furnished with four theatres nnd several musio-halld. At the Exhibition Building ,nd at the Town Hall grand concerts are weekly given. Besides the Mayor and Town Clerk, tLo two greatest civic functionaries outside Loudon, Melbourne possesses a "city organist," whose losition in the musical world is as that of the Poet Laurer.te in literature. But tbeatro and loncert-loving aa are the Victorians generally, it is in outdoor sports that they chiefly relax. Cricket, lawn tennis, football, rowing, yachting, and bicycle riding are the most popular amnse- iients. In cricket our native youth iiave made their mark against the Gentlemen and Players of England at Lord's. There arc no more perfect arrangements of the kind in the world than those t the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the members' pavilion is not only a " grand stand," but lossesses dining, billiard, and bath-rooms. Football is as popular here as in some parts of England. It is pro[)Osed that a football team shall be shortly stnt to Great Britain from Victoria. Next to cricket, horse-racing absorbs the aifections of the Victorian people. In any new township a racecourse is one of the first things laid out. Young Australian natives of bo' h lexes are as much at home iu the saddle as Arabs or Comanche Indians. Melbourne possesses wo first-class racecc jses within a few minutes' ride by rail from the city. Ac Flemington the ■eatest race in Australia, the "Melbourne Cup," is run early in November (our spring). From jvery part of the continent people of all classes then flock to Victoria's metropolis. The " Cup Week" is the Carnival of Australia. If Flemington is like Epsom, Caulfield course may be said ;o be the Ascot of Melbourne. The stranger at the Cup meeting will perhaps get a better sample f Victorian customs than anywhere else. There is an annual attendance of not less than 100 000 )eople on Cup Day, yet the " new chum " will be surprised to see that policemen are conspicuous y their rarity, that there is scarcely a trace of drunkenness, and that amongst the vast crowd tlio nembers all well dressed, and with money in their pockets, nothing but good-humoured order irevails. Here, where every one's working hours are so much shorter than in other parts of the orld, the toiler with band or brain has no temptation to make a Saturnalia of his holiday. here is less drunkenness in Victoria and as little crime as anywhere in the world. Victoria, however, should not be judged only by its metropolis. The inhind townships leserve mention. Ballarat, the second city in the Colony, is situated exactly 100 miles from llelbourne. It well bears the title of the " Golden City." In the early days, the gold-yielding (owers of Ballarat, were simply marvellous. No district in the world produced so much gold n such a short space of time. It has been stated that, in many iastanc-es, " claims," not more ban 8 feet square and, about the same depth, yielded from £10,000 to £12,000 each. At the i'rince Regent mine, men made as much aa £16,000 each for a few months' work. At one claim i tubful of dirt yielded £3,325. The « Welcome Nugget," found in 1858, was sold for £10,500*. Chose days have gone, but Ballarat, as it is now, is still more wonderful than when gold was, in rery truth, "more plentiful than blackberries," when it was " scattered a thousand times like seeds ipon the earth." Anthony Trollope, some thirteen years ago, said with justice, of Ballarat that t struck him with more surprise than any city in Australia, that " in point of architectural ixcellence, and general civilized city comfort, it w certainly the metropolis of the Australian gold ielils." Sturt Street, the principal thoroughfare, is a mile and a half long, 200 feet wide, and has I fine row of trees in the centre. The principal builtlings on either side are the City Hall, Post Office, Mechanics' Institute, banks, theatre, hospital, and several large churches. The population a 40,000. The reservoirs from which the water supply is obtained have a storage capacity of 100,000,000 galLms. These works cost £300,000. Lake Wendouree now adds to the charming sped of the city ; hundreds of small yachts, miniature steamers, and rowing boats in numbers loal on tiie lake, which is sto<;ked with perch, trout, and carp. The Botanioiil Gardens, ou the ther bide of the lake, are prettily laid out and well kept. The finest wool in the world is pro- iuced near Ballarat, and on Sir William Clarke's estate, a tew miles from the town, and on the mall farms in the forest of Bungaree splendid crops are grown. Ballarat, of which a picture nay be seen close to the Golden Arch in the Victoria Court, is now not only " a city of gold," )ut is an important inland centre. A charming picture of Ballarat as it appeared in 1851 i« >hown iu the Fine Arts Section of the Victoria Courts, and a comparigon with the view of the city in 1886 will show its remarkable progress. ^76 Victoria. an SaadhurBt, or, aa it was formcily tcrmetl, Boudigo, is a Uttlo over 100 luilcBfromMelbouru It has fibout the same population as Ballarat, 40,000. Id 1851, shortly after the first go diBOovery, Sandhurst was found to contain that precious metal in such abundance that in a shoa time it became famous for the number of its immense nuggets, the best known of which was tl "Victoria Nugget," which was bought by the Victorian Goverment and presented to H JIajesty. In 187'^ Sandhurst took rank as a principal Victorian city. It is certainly equal , any European city of th^" same size. The most prominent buildings nro the Masonic Hull, th Town Hall, and hospital, together with a very fine theatre. The streets of Sandhurst ar beautifully planted with English trees, the cool shade of which is as pleastmt to visitors as b the residents. In the centre of the town is a public fernery known us •' Rosamond's Bower.' Pall Mall is the principal business thoroughfare. The streets iiave a total length of about IDI miles. Sandhurst is rich in other ways besides gold. The district produces yearly more thai 1,000,000 bushels of grain, 17,000 tons of hay, and some 100,000 gallons of ,&s always characterised the Colony. From Henty and Batman and Fawkner id llobertion, to the men of the last decade, farmer or sailor, or trader or miner, they were aU 16 very salt of the eartii. During the gold fever, the brains and tho blood, the mental courage » well as tho bone and muscle, of Europe flocked thither ; and the fittest' survived.

The importance of the Anstralian lements is apparent to anyone who has visited them, or who from a distance has had oocAsion ake himself acquainted with their advancement in national wealth, or to contemplate their ense natural resources — which at present ave only in the infancy of development. Tha vast portion of tiie British public, however, know little of Australia— the "Greater Britain" of Southern seas — and it ia hoped that the Handbook distributed by the South Au&tralian mission will lie helpful in disseminating practical information of service to all who arv^ irested in the triumphs of British colonisation, but particularly to those who may contemplate moval from the crowded populations of the United Kingdom to the attractive fields sented by Britain's Colonies. It will not be the privilege of the writer to draw npon a 1 historic past for the story he has to lell. There may be open to 'aim no daring itary achievements to invest his story with the glory of national renown; there may no venerable institutions or relics, with inspirations of reverence and wonaer ; and re may bo no magnificent literature to command the attention or awaken the interest the student and the scholar. Scarcely fifty years have passed since South Australia was jclaimed a British Colony, and yet the record of this half-century is full of interest to all 10 care to note the advancement of the Anglo-Saxon stock. The bold enterprise, the indomitable ick, the dogged perseverance, and tiie love of freedom, which form such striking characteristics the English race, have been culled into full operation in the peaceful subjugation of raeval wastes to the service of man and their rapid transformation into a hive of hnman lustry. Few pages in the history of Britiah colonisation are fuller of interest tli^n those which ;ord the establishment and growth of these countries in the Southern Hemisphere, that are gutly known in Europe under the generic name of " Australia." The story of how n handfal Britons have, within the cycle of a century, founded countries that are rivalling Old World tions in wealth and power and in the elegances of advanced civilian tion is iustrucUve and spiriting. It spf aks of the vigour and genius of the old stock re-asserting itself in the younger rength and ardent effort of the offshoots ; and it shows how the same characteristics of courage, gacity, perseverance, industry, and prudence, which have made England what she is, are lerating in the development of these daughter-nations under the l-iouthem Cross. It. these iges special attention will be drawn to one of the seven Colonies that form the AnstralasiBn )S8e88ions of Great Britiin— The Province of South Australia. Ill the year 1831, Captain Sturt— one of the earliest Australian explorers— discovered the eat River Murray, which runs down into South Australia, and empties itself into the Soathem emu; and, on his return to Sydney, gave a glowing report of the fertile country he had seen a distance, but was unable to explore. In the early part of the same year a few gentlemen et it London to diacuss the propriety of founding, on the southern shores of Australia, a Colooy pon principles which at that time were advanced principles of Political Economy. The omoters opened up negotiations with the Imperial Government, but were not successful, and e project fell through. The matter was not, however, allowed to slumber very long. In 1834 project was renewed, and in June of tliat year a meeting of gentlemen was held at Exeter Hall, ondon, to discuss the principles upon which the proposed settlement should be founded. Just at lat time a scheme of colonisation propounded by Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield was attracting tention. That gentleman, thoughtfully observing the course of events in the other Australian olonies, had come to the conclusion that land without the operation of capital and labour was selesB. He sought to give a fixed price to land ; to provide that land should only be sold, and ot disposed of by free grants ; and to apply the proceeds of waste lands to the cost of importing ' ... ^. ^ . 206 South Australia. labour from the crowded cities and towns of the United Kingdom. These principles oommea themselves to the promoter!<, who in 1834 secured the passing of an Act by the Impei Legislature authorising the Sovereign to erect one or more provinces in that i«rt of Auatn lying between the i32nd and Hist meridians of east longitude, and between the Southern Oa and the 2Gth degree of «nuth latitude. To the persons who should reside within the said provi, or provinces was accorded freedom of action— they were not to be subject to the luw or constitnti of any other part of AustraMa ; and furthermore it was provided— and the sagacity of originators in this respect is worthy of mention— that no criminals should at any time oruw any circumstances be traneiwrtcd to any place within the limits described. The cuBe couvictism therefore has never attached itself to the Provii co of South Australia. The first Commissioners appointed under tlio Act were eight in number— riz., Colonel Tom F.R.S. (Chairman), ar.d Messrs. W. A. Mackinnon. M.P., Jacob Montefiore, W. Hutt, M Geo. Palmer, Jun., Joha Wright, Geo. Fife Angas, and Samuel ^lills. Only one of tj^ Commissioners survives, and it is an interesting circurastanco that this survivor— Mr. Jk Montefiore— is one of the Hon. Commissioners for South Australia at the Colonial and ladi Exhibition in London in 1886. To him— in his advanced age— it must be a source of de gratification that he has been spared to see a Colony, in the inception of which he took ad* personal intereht, qualified to honouraLiy take her position among the colonies of Britain inl interesting and important Exhibition before referred to. The project of colonisation, however, almost proved abortive. The Imperial Act provii that a sum of £35,000 must be raised before the powers given under the Act could be exerei-t and the scheme hung fire. Just then, however, the lute Mr. George Fife Angas, who was ow the Commissioners, came to the rescue. Ho formed an association known as "The 8oa Australian Company," and resigning his commissioncrship, he assumed the chairmanship of li company. This company subscribed the balance of capital required, and the scheme of coloniotiT proceeded. The late Sir James Hurtle Fisher was appointed Resident CommiBsioncr in i Colony, and the late Colonel Light was sent out, as first Surveyor-Cieneral, to choose a site the atpital, and push on the survey nf the land for settlers. In August, 1836, Colonel Lijl arrived at Kangaroo Island, and thence he proceeded to the mainland east of St VinoenfsGd where he commenced his work, and selected the i)resent site of the capital— Adelaide. Inti following December the first Governor of South Australia-Captain Hindmarsh, K.N.-arriT, and took possession of the land in the name of the Sovereign of England, on the 28th Decern' 1836, the anniversary of which day is always closely kept as a public holiday. Since the proclamation of the Province South Australia has witnessed macy change fortune, but through all her vicissitudes she has made substantial advancement. Some of ti other Colonies have attained wealth and imiwrtanco by the discovery of rich goldfieldi. ti development of which has enormously increased their resources, besides attracting — aa ft? other discoveries have the power of doing — a large und able-bodied population from distance. These resources of wealth and population, springing from adventitious ciicumstaDca have made the progress of some of tlie other Australian provinces quite phenomenal in ii character. The adiancement of South Australia, on the other hand,"^ has "been achieved h patience, endurance, industry, and enterprise. Although rich goldilelds have not been discorerei gold is found in many parts of the Colony, and the many productive copper mines have ponre out great mineral wealth. Indeed, on more than one occasion South Australia has made onwai progress, due to the rich yields of copper from the far-famed Kapunda, Burra Burra, Moonii Wallaroo, and other mines. South Australia is, with the single exception of Western Australia, the largest in area of tb Australian Colonies, and it stretches across the whole island continent frwm south to north. Ii southern shores are washed by the Southern Ocoau, whilst the waters of the Indian Ocean bv its northern coasts. It touches all the mainland Colonies of Australia, beiog contiguous to 2s\i South Wales, Victoria and Queensland on the east, and is bounded on the west by the exten»u Colony of Western Australia, extending from lat. 38° to 26'^, between the 121Hh and 14l6t men dian of east long., and from lat 26° to tiie northern coast, between the 129th and 139th meridiam Running right up through the centre of Australia, it covers an area extending from latilude 3^ to latitude 11°, and from the 129th to the Hist meridians of east longitude. Twice since tbi establishment of the Colony its limits have been extended. In 1861, a strip of land between tin South Australia. 207 adaricH of South and Western Australin, south of Itit. 26°, was detached from Now South es and annexed to Bouth Australia by the Imiwrial Legislature ; and iu 1863, after tho enturoua journey of the gallant explorer, Joliu McDonall Stuart, across tho heart of tho tmlian continent, tho northern boundary of tlie colony, whicli was originally tlie 26th imniUel ititude, was shifted to the northern coast line, thus bringing within licr borders the Inrgo now known as " The Northern Territory." The area of South Australia (including the Northern Territory) is 578,361,600 acres, an area cb affords "ample scope and verge enough" for an extensive populutiou. At the present « (Jfinuary, 1886) 10,642,963 acres have been alienated; the remainder being available for icultural, pastoral, and mineral settlement. The area of mineral land, or laud held under mineral lease, is comparatively small ; so tliai, gbly speaking, the whole province may bo divided into country of two classes — agricultural (iBgtoral land. Of the alienated land, a very largo proportion is devoted to agriculture, ticulture, viticulture, market gardening, and like purposes, whilst tho balance is used almost lusivfly for raising sheep and cattle. Tiio lilxiralisution of tho lund lawn, some years ago, e an enormous stimulus to agricultural settlement, so that tho area now under wheat is cnscly larger than it was. Tho following information is from tho Statistical Register for 1884, tlie latest official record. Tlie increase of population during the year was, by births 70.")8, by immigration 1208, ing the total number on the Slat of December 312,781 persons, composed of 164,877 males, and ,904 females. Iu 1875 tho population was 210,442, and in 1880 it was 267,573. During tho r 1884, 356 foreigners obtained letters of naturalisation, and thereby became British subjects ; hcse 44 were Kussians, 136 Germans, 114 Chinese, and the others made up of various nation- iea. The proportion of births per thousand of the population was 37 • 69, the proportion of riflgcs 9*40 per thousand, and the proportion of deaths 15 "24 per thousand. The area of land alienated from the Crown iu 1884 was 10,767,605 acres. In 1875 it was le over 6,000,000 acres. Tlie area under cultivation was, in 1875, 1,444,586 acres; in 1884, «5,490 acres. The area of land enclo.«€d in 1875, 20,286,007 acres ; in 1884, 53,444,411 acres. B production of wheat, the principal crop, was in 1875, 10,739,834 bushels ; in 1884, 14,621,755 hels.

The shipment of wool amounted in 5 to the value of £2,066,-227 ; in 1884 to £2,618,626. The shipment of minerals amounted iu 5 to £702,386, in 1884 to £491,950. The production of wine in 1884 was 473,535 gallons. The value of imports amounted in 1875 to £4,203,802 ; in 1884, £5,749,353. Tho value of wtts amounted in 1875 to £4,805,050 ; in 1884, £6,623,704. The proportion of imports from United Kingdom in 1884 was £2,983,296, the balance being from other places. The combined )ort and export trade of the Coluny -^as in 1875, £9,008,851 ; in 1884, £12,373,057. The arrivals of shipping were in 1884 — British, 708,301 tons ; foreign, 141,034 tons ; total, 335 tons. The number of veesels belonging to Port Adelaide were — in 1875, steamers, 75, mage, 7443; sailing vessels, 212, tonnage, 24,948. In 1884, steamers, 88, tonnage, 10,665 ; hng vessels, 220, tonnage, 27,931. In 1875 the general revenue of the Colony amounted to £1,143,312; iu 1880 it was 027,963, and in 1884 it amounted to £2.024,928. The expenditure in 1884 upon public works B £2,163,149 ; a large proportion was provided from loan funds. The amounts expended by rporations and District Councils was £114,537. The receipts from Government railwaj's were ring 1834, £424,416. The number of churches or chapels existing in 1884 was 928 ; the number of sittings pro- led, 200,1?3; the number of Sunday-schools was 727; teachers, 0729; scholars, 57,311. The number of public schools in 1884 was 227 ; scholars, 42,758 ; persons employed in iching, 1000. Cost of department, exclusive of expenditure on buildings, £76,879. In addition these there are 287 private schools with 11,296 scholars. Thero are over 112 country institutes, ich have libraries attached to them containing an aggregate of 98,688 volumes. In the year 1884 there were 1035 miles of railway open for traffic.

With regard to the Darling, it may ]\ Htiid that its navigatiou do|M-nd8 ahnnst ontiroly upon the rainfall in Southern Quecnalund. along tlio oust roast of tropical Queensland at u varying di8tanct\ hut seldom luany miles fjrr shore, there stretches the Great Barrier Iteef, inter8|)erBC4l with numberless coral islets, and thi the force of the waves from the I'acifio is hroken. The entire eastern coast line is most pictun*ju with a succession of islands, i>old headlands and harliours, and with thelofty ranges of the nmiclai seldom out of sight. But in strong contrast with this is the coast-lino of the Gulf of CarpoDtah which is every wliero flat, and for some distance inland unattractive and often swampy. It is said that every kind of temperate and tropical product can bo grown in Quceiukb Uix>n the Downs, wheat, oats, and barley flourish, and arc grown for hay and green-food for catti as well as for grain. But a decidedly larger area is devoted to maize, from which an avctij crop of about 25 bushels iKT acre is obtainc«l. Botli PJnglish and sweet potatoes aro cidtivaU^i the growth and make of sugar is now represented by upwards of 40,000 tons manufacturiHl; \l arrowroot grown in 1884 was 574,768 lbs. ; and tobacco, coffee, cotton, oranges, peaches, praps l)ino-applos, bananas, and English fruit aro also cultivated. Tlte frait it has been found impossi!] to bring for exhibition here, but sugar is extensively siiown; and it will be seen it bears compaii'i with tho products of the West Indies and the Mauritius. So also are coflce, tobacco, rice, ifiw und flour, arrowroot, and cassava. Then, too, there is Queensland rum, jircparations from Quot-i land Eucalypti, and hundreds of exhibits of Queensland timlx^rs, some niauufactured, othf varnished, and others yet again in the rough. These will 8er\-o in a measure to show the numcm descriptions of vegetable products raiswl in Queensland. Tliey ulrea«ly give employmtut t< oonsidomble i)opulation, and the agricultural resources of the Colony will in time be giw-' cxtended. But no reference has yet been made to the Queensland mines. These are of altogiil exceptional richness, and have yet to be developed. The mineral collections shown bv Government, as well as by private enterprise, are of a ver>' complete character. Gold ore* i «|uartz ( f all descriptions, silver and silver-lead ores, coiil, tin, copper, manganese, clirome i ore, plumbago, stone from Queensland quarries, and clay and shale are all of them rej rosfnti and there is no section of the Australian continent so rich in regard to miuerals as Queeiwlaud 111 us, as regards gold : — . -: ., ■ • .

Tlie Charters, Towers, and Gympie gold fie uave now been connected with tho coast by railway, and tho extensions in progivss will brinj further largo extent of auriferous country within access of the port. Quito as important are ( sanctioned railway extensions to the great tin and silver dejiosits at Herberton, and to the wp mines of Cloucurry. It is the opinion of the Government geologist that the Cloncnrrv mp Imles are the richest yet discovered in Auotralio, if not in the world ; but a railway of 2'M) i is requisite to connect them with tho gulf of Carpentaria, and as yet the Colony places hut h copt)er in tho market In 1883 the value was £30,872, and it was less 'n 1884, works 1* pmcticidly at a standstill until railway ^communications are in a more Advanced state.

Qtueruland. m jund in more accessible localities, and the yield in 1884 was 3,383 tons, the value being set dowa t £130,460 at the place of production. At the port of shipment, however, it was £228,457, and he mldition fairly indicates the importance of improved communications. The value of the galena ^Ivcr-lcad) raised in 1884 was £35,327; and this description of mining enterprise is also destined irgcly to extend, as the ores are very rich in silver. As yet, the quantities of antimony and langanette worked are not large; but the coal mines of Queensland in 1884 yielded 120,727 tons, nd this is a description of mining to which it is impossible to assign limits. At present almost he whole of this coal is misal in the Ipswich district, whence there is direct railway communica- ion with Brisbane ; but there is gooer head is as high, measured in this way, as liat of any country in the world, and a great deal higher than that of the mother country. But bis is an altogether misleading statement, for the debt of Queensland has been incurred, almost lie whole of it, upon reproductive works, and in fulfilling the duties of the ground landlorrl ; nd the eflfect of this upon the revenue is shown in the following figures:— Revenue per head in 1884-6, From Taxation.

The rrsent i^pulation of Brisbane approaches 50,000; that of Rockhampton is about 12,000; Mary- r>rough, 11,000; Townsville, 10,000; Ipswich, aliout 80U0; and Toowoomba, 6000. Tho luling exports are wool, gold, sugar, tin, hidee and skins, pearl-shell, tallow, live-stock, preservetl Kilt, iH-che-de-mer, and silver ore; while tho imports mainly consist of British manufactures, lie total value of the external trwle of Queensland imports and exports, which in 1860 was 1,267,500, has now risen until in 1884 it reached £11,055,840. At the present time there are 1407 miles of railway in operaiion in the Colony, and a further msiderable mileage under construction ; there are 11,638 miles of telegraph vire — which is more an in any other Australasian Colony, except New South Wales ; there are 425 State schools, ith 1161 teachers; tho banking deposits to the 30th September, 1885, weio £6,815,763, apart om tho £1,340,255 in tho hands of the Government savings banks at the end of the yejir.

Queensland CommissioTiers' Eshibita of Indigenous Timber and other Forest Prodnc comprise an oxteuiiiTe collection of 427 exhibits in book*block. plank, and veneer. Some 6 remarks are necessary to account for what otherwise might be considered as defects in some the samples. These defects arc principally noticeable in the plank exhibits, several of whii will be found to have slightly cracked or split at the ends ; for this, allowanee will readilj ! made by practical men when informed that la no case bus time been allowed for seasonin neither could advantage be taken of the proper period for felling the trees. It must be bonie mind that (his collection had to be got together hurriedly, leaving no time even for selectia the most suitable tree ; thus, the first to liand was idled, and a four-feet length of Ihe «ti forwarded to the establishment in Brisbane, where all the exhibits were immediately prepare This will account also for the stains observable in several of the bofter woods, which, being fnll sap when cut, became discoloured before reaching their destiuatiou — ^in somo coaes nearly 2,0( miles from thoir local habitat. Although many of the kinds are in sufficient quantity to allow of being export^^d, display of the colony's woods has been prepared rather with p, view to point out to intendii emigrants and others that Queensland possesses in her indigenous vegetation woods suitable i all and every hind of work.

Thu Colony embraces nearly one-third of the AuatralUn Oootinent, oompriaing all that portion wertward of 129° E. longitude, and ia the nearest of the Australasian groups to England, ftom which it is distant 10,950 miles. Its area is over a million square miles, or about eight times that of the United Kingdom. It possesses a population of about 38,000, principally located within 100 miles of the sea coat Western Auatnilia is a Crown Colony, the Government being administered by a Governor appointed by the Colonial Office, and assisted by Executive and Legislative Councils, the Legislative Council consisting of tlie members of the Executive Council, with the exception of the Colonial Treasurer, four nominees of the Governor, and sixteen elected members. Tbe climate is one of the most salubrious and enjoyable in the world. Even in the tropical northern dintricts the heats are counterbalanced by noctumul sea breezes. The annual average death-rate f^om 1805 to 1882 was 15- 13 per thousand, while that of Great Britain for the same period was 21-55. The mean annual rainfuU at Perth is 32-73 inches for the past nine years, and the mean temperature 65° Fahrenheit. On the whole, the meteorological conditions have been compared witli those of the south of Europe. The chief products are wool, timber, pearls and pearl-shells, lead, copper, horses, &e. The export of wool for 1884 was estimated at £249,255 ; that of timber at £89,896, of which £20,960 was for sandolwood; pearls and pearl-shells, £25,312; lead ore, £4872; copper ore, £1770; horses, £13,100. The returns of stock in the Colony showed— liorses, 37,111 : cattle, 71,102; •heep, 1,547,061 ; goats, 0035 ; pigs, 20,039. Cereals, grapes, oranges, lemons, and other fruits grow abundantly. The vine grows luxuriantly iti the southern portions of the Colony, and as population increases, there will in all probability be a large export of wine, raisins, &o. There are 6»7 acres of vineyards in tlie Colony. Altogether at present 79,669 acres of land are under cultivation, the yield per acre for 1884 being,— wheat 13 bushels, barley 16 bushels, oats 18 bushels, maize 17 bushels, hay 1 too, potatoes 3 tons. Horses, bullocks, and sheep mn exported to Singapore. Among the timber trees are the sandalwood, occupying large forests in the southern districts ; jarrali, extending over some 14,000 miles, and largely exported to India, South Australia, and Now Zealand, recently also to England ; karri, white gum, &c. Gold has been recently discovered in the Kimberley District in the extreme north. Copper and lead mines have been worked for some years in the Champion Bay District. The principal towns in the Colony and the number of their inhabitants are—Perth, about •'> bine, Bockingham, &c., &c. Perth, the capital of the Colony, is beautifully situated on the right bank of the SwanBiver estuary, 12 miles from Fremantle, where the river debouohej into the sea. A railway connects Perth with Fremantle, the port, and York in the interior, a total length of 90 miles. Oovornment Schools exist all over tho Colony, and are managed by the District Boards. Assisted schools, by different denominations, having grants-in-aid from Colonial funds, as well as a school iu Perth for the highrr education of boys. The amount expended on Education for 1884 was £10,090. There is a High School for girls, undrt the direction of the Anglican Biiihop, and another conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, both situate in Perih. 260 Weitem Aiutralia. *."' ■ V" 8TATI8TIC8 FOR 1884.

( 265 ) NEW ZEALAND. fEW Zealand lies in the Pacific Ocean to the south-eastward of, and at least cue thousand miles torn, Aufitralia. The most northern part of New Zealand is in 34° 23' South lat., and its moot outhern is in 47° 19' Soutli lat. Extending through nearly thirteen degrees of latitude, its ength in a curved line through the centre of the country ia more tlian 1,100 miles ; its breadth miea, but in the broadest part it is little more than 150 miles. Two Islands, now best known as le Nortli and South Islands respectively, almost wholly constitute New Zealand; they are parated by a navigable strait called Cook Strait, which in its narrowest part is 12 miles across, nd in its other parts varies from 50 to 100 miles. The total area of New Zealand is about on6- th less than that of Great Britain and Ireland. The area of South Island is about the same as lat of England and Wales ; and the North Island is about one-fourth less. The coast-line is ver 3,000 miles, and it is indented by numerous good harbours. This two-fold insular position, id these other maritime featiu'es, ara remarkable characteristics, specially adapted and materially mducive to the future greatness of the country. "Captain (Jook, in 17G9, was, for all practical purposes, the first European discoverer of New lealand. The Maoris, its aboriginal inhabitants, were at that time cannibals, almost wholly porant cf mechanical arts, practising a rude kind of agriculture, devoid of religious belief, cept confused notions of good and evil demons, and addicted to savage inter-tribal warfare, aptain Cook planted in the country the first germ of colonisation. Ho successfully introduced he pig and the pototo. For thirty-seven years after his last departure, in 1777, from New lealand, it was only known to the civilised world for the danger of its coasts, and for the ferocity fits inhabitants. The first P^uropean residents there came in 1814 to the Bay of Islands, almost e northern extremity of the North Island, as representatives of the English Church Missionary ociety. I<>ora that time, for several years, there was an irregular influx of traders, whalers, inaway sailors, and adventurers. The state of the country at that time became worse than it as before. Anarchy and moral contamination created a pandemonium. The British Govem- lent felt itself forced to interfere. But the previous recognition by British authorities of what as called tiie national independence of the Maori tribes, rendered the position one of great iflSculty. Other circumstances hastened tlie action of the British Government. France, it was lought, was about to take possession of the Islands of New Zealand, and to make them probably penal station. The New Zealand Company, an English association, formed with the object of fsteniatio colonisation, was taking practical st^ps to give effect to its object in New Zealand. The !Bult was that the British Government negotiated wiih various native chiefs for a cession of their lo-called) sovereignty, and, on obtaining that cession, assumed complete possession of N*"w Zealand. Then, from time to time, various unconnected centres of settlement wero formed. Auckland, the northern part of the North Island, was established by the first Governor, Captain Hobhouse, N., in 1840. Wellington, in the southern extremity of the same island, was founded in the me year by the New Zealand Company. New Plymouth, on the west coast of the Nortli land, and Nelson, in the north of the South, or Middle Island, were founded by the same Company the following year, 1841.

The Colony of Fiji is a group of islands in tho South Pacific numbering over 200, of which 80 are inhabited, 1,900 miles from Sydney, and 1,200 miles from Auckland. Thoy are distant from Samoa 500 miles south-west, from Tonga 300 miles north-east, and from Xew Caledotia 500 miles east. The principal island is named Viti Levu, and is equal in size to the collective areas of Kent Sussex, Surrey and Middlesex. This one isknd is also nearly as large as Jamaica, twice as largo as Trinidad, and six times aa large as Mauritius, while the aggregate area of the whole Colony la greater than all the British West India Islands, including Trinidad. The total area is 4,751,360 acres, and it is therefore larger than Wales. Government.— Ctovu Colony of a severe type, Governor advised by Executive Council consisting of four members, heads of departments. There is also a Legislative Council, consisting i)f the Governor as President, the Chief Justice, and five other heads of departments as official Members, and of six unofficial Members nominated by the Governor and appointed by the Queeu for life. Climate is considered good for the tropics; heat rarely exceeds 90° in the sliade, and thermometer does not often go below 60°. Rainfall varies considerably in the difltrent islands, ranging from 40 inches to 180 inches per annum. Settlers are scattered over many of the islands engaged in planting, stock-keeping, trading, tc. As a rule they live comfortably in wooden houses, and possess abundance of poultry, pigs, fruit md vegetables, while in some districts, fresh beef and mutton is obtained weekly. In Suva and ^vuka people can live in any style they like to pay for, and participate to some extent in the )lea8ures of society in which settlers' wives are glad to join when they leave their district homes or a change to either of these two pretty towns. There are over 3,000 Europeans in the Colony. Natiteg.— There are about 115,000 natives who are physically and mentally superior to most rfoured races. They are a reddish-brown in complexion, of a free and easy disposition, and •iew life with a calm philosophy, worthy of imitation by many Europeans. They do not much are about work, because nature supplies nearly all their wants. laiour.— Calcutta Coolies, Polynesians and Fijians are employed. The two former classes OBt about 1«. 6J. each daily, this amount includes wages, passage-money, allowances for food nd clothing, houses, hospitals, sick percentage, medicines and incidentals. Fijians are heaper. Prodtiets.— Sugar is the principal product. 10,586 tons exported last year ; the yield is Md, the density of juice up to average, the best machinery is at work, and the largest mill in le world is on the Bewa Kiver, Viti Leva Cokonuti are exported in large quantities, but the majority are used for making Copra (the ried kernel used for oil) and fibre. They thrive well, and give a good and tolerably safe retura I capital judiciously expended. Exports value, 1884: Cokonuts, £2,219; Copra. £59,241 ibre, £1,031. Cb«on.~This industry, once the largest and most profitable, is now being given up, owing to if price obtained. Certain parts of tho Colony are remarkably well suited for tho " long Bpled" fine qualities. Export value, 1884, £14,121. Fruit. — Bananas and pineapples were exported to the value of £23,994 last year. This »de might be greatly supplemented by oranges, lemons, mangoes, and preserved fruits. Mdastea exported to value of £7,186. Present prices so low that much is run to waste. Coffee has not proved the success anticipated. No reason has yet been found to account for * non-productiveneaa of the tree. 288 Fiji. Tea, Cinchona, and Cardamoms havo been mcently triwl, iiiid may prove remunorativo. 'fl former, Tea, has received high praise from experts in Australia, New Zealand, and London, jn it mny in a few years surpass in value the export of sugar. I'obaeco is only j^rown to a small extent, but the quality produced favours the idea of a Im increase, should experienced men undortako its culture. Sheep, cattle, liorscs and goats biocd and thrive well, while poultry, pigs and fruit mm abundant throughout the islands. From the above it will be seen that the Colony is eminently agricultural, and that its natnr reaburces, general climate and prolific soil well lit it to bo a pleasant resort for young Engiw and point to its becoming the future West Indies of the Australasian Colonies, A more detailed account of its resources, statistics on Trade and Commerce, AgricoUiu History and Geography and Institutions will be found in the Handbook now published by (1 Executive Commissioner for the Colony. , ■,.,, -rll.. ;.■■'.> ,i > ;■ .:. ■< ^ . ■;..;.■' t,. ^>.>.,' \_ ^u ' ■ ; •'■ '■•':■■' '■ '- s.

Its first railway, the line from Cape Town to Wellington, 58 miles in length, was commenced in 18G0 and completed and opened in November, 1863. It was constructed by a private company, but was almost immediately jurchased by the Government ibr £773,000. The Colony now has 1,603 miles of railwri.y open to traffic, and the total amount spent upon ieir construction and equipment is about £14,600,000. These railways stait from, three several toints on the coast, viz. : — Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and East London, aud the systems laving their termini at the two former ports are connected by a junction line. There is now irect railway communication between Cppe Town, Port Elizabeth, and Kimberley (the Diamond fields). In addition to the mileage above mentioned, there is a line constructed by a private ompany connecting Port Alfred and Grahamstown, a distance of 43 milep. In 1884 the net ormngs on the 1,344 'niles of railway then open, amounted to £327,462, yielding an interest on pital expended of £2 14«. Id. per centiun. Later returns (1885) »how a profit of 3i per cent, er annum. Two milliun four hundred and seven thousand passengers were carried in 1884, ud four hundred and thirteen thousand tons of goods. .. ., , The first telegraph line constructed in the Colony (in 1660) was from Cape Town to Simon's own, a distance of 22 miles. The Colony now has 4,219 miles of '.elegraph open, carrying 8,663 ilea of wire, at a total cost of £351,007. Tlie number of messages carried in 1884 was 740,791. he revenue was £78,029, the expenditure £63,703, the net earnings £24,926, yielding a ercentage of £7 28. on capital invested. The present tariff is a uniform rate of la. for 10 words » all offices in South Africa. The Colony has telegraphic communication with England by submarine cable via Zanzibar id Aden, which was opened on Christmas Duy, 1879, and which is subsidized by the Homo id Colonial Governmcnls, the contribution of Cape Cciouy being £15,000 per annum. The Colony unfortunately possesses no natural harbours, and to supply this deficiency has ccutcd works on m\ extensivo scale at tho principal jrorts of the Colony, the amounts exiicndod wn each up to the close of 1881 being as follows ; — Table Bay Harbour - ■ ' Port Elizjibeth „ ' ' = Mosst'l Bay „ ' i Port Alfred „ . . -v. ^ East London „ £978,484 "''■ '•l^iM'JI 437,131 • .i -r 8,000 ' '-'.: -> 219,688 • ' r ;x 602,189 ■ 'n,i< rt Total , , £2,145,792 The works at Table Bay include an extensive breakwater 1,870 feet in length, an outer iiu fiix acres iu extent, au iouor basin oir dock teu acres in extent, and a graving douk Ifeetlong. : ^^f^ ,.} , .| , ,;,t^r(M "U iK'- O -x'f i i :,:: !

To facilitiitc communication and transport on the northern side of the (-rtlony, four great dgc3 have been erected at diflTerent, points on the Orange Bivcr, and one over the Groat Kei w. The cost of these works up to tho close of 1884 amoimtcd to £407,562, tlic net revenue tolls to £17,604, yielding a })cr centngo on capital of £4 6t). 4d. Tho inlerual communications Ihe Colony by means of roailK and ordinary bridges have been carried out nt a total cost, from luary 1800 to Jimc 1885, of £1,100,989. Tip to and including the year 1884 the total cost of ipnUic works above mentioned amounts to £18,605,350, on which there is a fair reniuuerativu lira. ■ • ' -■^' 296 Cape of Goo-1 Hope. Its Industries. — Besides the raising of shocp and cattle aud horses, aad the cultivation of th land, which are the staple industries of the Colony, and in which at the lime of the lust censn (1875) 210,000 of the population were enj;;nged, there is the important industry of diaraow mining at Kimberley. Old de Beer's, Du Toil's Pan, and Bultfouteiu, eini)loying in all uboii 10,400 persons, of whom 1,228 are white aud the remainder coloured. Mining wns coraincncw in 1868, and the total declared and known value of diamonds exported froni that time to th close of 188i was £31,772,4'"ic year there wcru in the Colony 453 mhuster? of the nm denominations, of whom 100 belonged to the Church of England, 99 to the Dutch Keforn' Church, and 97 to tho Wcsleyan Methodists The number of persons belonging to the sevfl oODgregations was 383,765, of whom 150,719 wero coloured. Tho Governraont contribution tho support of ministers was £11,990, tho amount contributed by the congregations forS same purpose was £69,300, and for other purposes £97,231. Its Hospitals. — In 1884 tho Colony had 74 hospitals aud charitable institutions, the W number of patients treated being 7,000. Six of these received (loverumont aid to the extent £7.478. Tiie ot'acrs arc fcupjx>rted almost entirely by voluntary contributions. Cape of Good Hope. 297 Ii» Banl-s. — In 1884 there were 11 banks in the Colony, with an aggregate noniiual capital £C,S03,930 in 124,012 shares on which £1,649,745 had been paid up. At the same period icir aggregate reserve fund amounted to £611,703, and their circulation to £708,797. In the me year the Colony had 112 Post Office Savings Banks with 17,886 depositors and £128,689 deDOsits. The Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank Society had 232,334 depositors and 128,731 in deposits. The Grahamstown Sivviaga Br^nk liad 1,578 depositors and £14,972 iu posits, and the King William's Town Savings Bank 1,125 depositors and £30,170 in depoaita.

By LiKUT.-CoLONEL E. Palmku, lato K.A. Tins smnll dcpcndoncy of tho liritish Empire, forinorly bo well known U8 a j)lttoo of rofnwhiuiiit for homeward ))uuiid £sBt Imliamen, and from being tho bcouu of tiie captivity of tlie Eni|h n>r Napoleon, huB loat mucJ' of its commercinl importance bIiico tho openinj,' of tho Suez Cunnl. ItB situation, however, witli regard to the African Continent seems to point at no distant pv-nrxl to tho advantages it ofl'crs, not only us a base of operations for missionary and comineKiiul enterprise, but aa a health rcRort for tho Europeans employed in tho factories on tho Conpi, for which last-named purpoao it Ib admirably titted, both from enjoying a remarkably lino and birlthy climato, and being within four days* steaming of Banana at tho moutli of thiit rivor. The geographir»\ position of tl'o island is in latitude Ifl'Sd, longitude .'j'42 W., 4.2T7 miles from Plymo\ith I.IGO from Capf Town, and 1,200 t'loin tho coast of Africa. It id obirnii; in form, its general direction N. E. to S. W., lOJ milea in length, (i\ in breadth, with an arua of 45 square miles, or about one-third the size of the Isle of Wiglit. Although witliin tho Troj ic of Capricorn, tho constant S. E. trade wind rendorn the climate mild and equable : nud being traversed by a mouitainous range, varying from 2.700 fmt to 1,500 feet in heiglit, any variety of climate may bo obtained — from a maximum tcniiHraturc of 82° at James Town on tho sea c^jast, to 74° at Longwood, 1,780 feet above tlie sea. Since tho discovery of tlie island by tho Portuguese in 1502, it has undergone nmi.y vicissitudes. Abandoned by that nation about 1600, it became n bones of cont«'ntion bctwcni tho Dutch and English, which finally resulted in the capture of the ialnnd by Sir Ricliar.l Mundeu in 1G73; it was then granbd by charter to the English East India Company, who retained it until 183G, and subsequently transferred it to the Crown for £100,000. The history of the captivity of the Emperor Napoleon from 1815 to 1821 ia too well known to bo dwelt npon here. Captain Cavendish appears to have been the ilrst Englishman who visited the ialnnd, where he called to recruit his sickly crew when homeward bound in 1588. His account of t\u' plftceis very interesting; he debcribes it as " well planted with fruits and herbs, the hills abounding mtii wild goats, pheasants, partridges and turkeys, with great store of swine." The narrative seeias fully borne out by the engravings in an old Dutch work of 1041 in tho British Museum, in which parties of Dutch seamen aro depicted hunting gouts and i)igs, gatlitring lemons iu h fruitful orchard, and dmwing their nets in a stream abounding with tish. The island is surrounded by precipitous cliffs, broken here and there by deep ravine*. affording in some places a precarious landing. The prosiieet from the sea is most desolate nul forbidding, far different from that preseuteil to the early navigators, when fonsts of ekmy clothed its now barrm and denuded heights. James Town, the seat of government, with a popuiation of 2,500. is situated in a valloy ou the N. W. (leeward) side of the iphind, its main strct, with its bright-looking houses and trees. forming a pleasing contrast with the gloomy hills ritiing on either aide. Two good roads lend up these heights into the country, and the Imrnn outskirts of the island are soon exchanged for the wooded hilla and valleys of tho interior, crowned with pine woods: the lolty peaks of the main' ridge, clothed with the luxuriant vegetation of the cabbage wood and tree fern, forming » Buitable background to the picture. The present prospects of the island, owing to the falling off in the visits of shipping, are far from encouraging. Many of the farmers have emigrated to tho Cape, and elsewhere; ami nothing is more depressing than to see tho country houses falling into decay, and the land over- grown with briars. The terrible destruction caused ihrough tho introduction of the whitt; out in 1840 in some Brazilian timber out of a broken-up slaver, intlictrd a loss upon tho Colony of £70,000, from which it has scarcely ircovered. SI ill, a better day may be dawning fur B^ St. Helena. 310 H'lcna. Mr. Morris, in his report to the Colonial Offloo in 1884, eninneratoe wliat he oon&idors might bu productive induatries for the island, amongnt others the cultiTation of Tlio English AIne, for its valuable fibre. New Zealand Flax, do., ' Bar1)adoe« Aloe, Tobacco — Vanlllu, Guinea Orasci, , i vfiUi many fruits, especially tho Spanish ( )livo. Pineapple, &o. Ho ftlHo places greiit stroHB upon the fishcriee, tliero l»oin^ no doul)t that "the expenditure of II small (;apitJil on good brrtits and tackle, with hardy flshernion, would be attended with great mccess."— (MoUisa.) There are cod banks close to the itilund, and no loss than Bevcuty-threo lescriptlona of fish are known to exist, many of a valuublo nature (tunny, mackerel), and >aiily caught, either at sen or oft' the rocks. Tbu f;reat dmwbiick to tlio prosperity of the island is doubtlens the want of olHoient and )rganized lalwur. The " native," whose wiints are easily snpplir^d by a meal of fish Tid rice, is f a naturally indolent disposition, and not alive to tho ncccdsity of "working" for his daily read. It has occurred to the writer that were St. Helena garrisoned by a West Indian igimcnt, a considemblo portion of tlio men's time might bo devoted to tho cultivation of tho jloTCmment lands, and the maintenance of the ori[;inal forest, the disappearance of which is [radually aflFecting the water supply of tlio island.

BiacH, C.M.G. . -. '^\, 'HE Island of Ceylon (known to the ancients in diflFerent ages as Sorondib, Taprobane, Lanka) ies in N. Lat. 5° 5'd'-9o 51' ; E, Long. 79° 42'-81° 55' South-East of the poothcm extremity f HinduBtan, from which it la separated by Palk Straits, a narrow channel only available for rcssels of light draught. The Portuguese were the first European setUors in Ceylon. From early in the 16th to tho liddlo of tho 17th century they held permanent though not undisputed possession, giving way t last to the Dutch, who from a.d. 1656 for 140 years continued to govern tho maritime iroTinces of tho island, the central or Kandyan provinces remaining under their naUvo rulers. n 1796 tho English captured the last remaining stronghold of the Dutch at Colombo, and tho iland bHiame part of the British possessions in the Eastern seas. It was not. however, until omo years later (1815) that the King of Kandy was deposed, and the enthe island brought ithin tho Crown Colony syatem of Government, of which it is now the largest and most com- letely organised representative. The total area of the Island is about one-sixth less than that of Ireland, and contains some 1,702 square miles; the extreme length is 271 miles, th- extreme breadth 137 mUes. At le end of 1885 the population stood at 2,825.090, tho proportion of Europeans to natives is leas mn 2 per 1,000. *^ Sinhalese number 1,920,000 Tamils 674,000 Moormen 200,000 Veddahs and Rodiyas .... 13 oqq Burghers or natives of European descent . 18,000 The Ved(}ah8 are supposed to bo a remnant of the aborigines of Ceylon. They have no xed habitations, roaming about tlie forests of the Southern and Eastern Province* Living in ives and liollow trees, their dialect is different from that of the Sinhalese, with whom they have ttle intercourse. Space will not permit a description of these most interesting and primitive Bople.* ** *^ The Maldivo Archipelago— a group of Coral Islets sparsely inhabited by a race of Sinhalese igiu, gpoakirg a broken dialect of Sinhalese—is tributary to Ceylon, to which the Sultan of tho aldives sends an embassy annually. These Islands are difficult of access, and interoourso witii lem 18 very limited. An interesting ethnological coUection from these Islands has been pro- ired for this Exhibition. For a tropical country, Ceylon is decidedly healthy ; from ito insular position, tiie climate mtaists favourably with that of India-ther« aro no eztremee of tempenUure, and throughout e low country tho thermometor varies little in the course of tiie year; the mean temperature Colombo is about 83°.

Tennent, who resided in the uLind for some years as Lieut-Governor and Colonial cretary, m his interesting and vahmble work on the Colony, writes :— " There is no island in eWorld, Great Britain itself not excepted, Uiat has attracted the attention of authors in so my flistant ages and so many different countries as Ceylon, there is no nation in ancient or wem times possessed of a language or literatitre the writers of which have not at some time Kle It their theme.

The moet interesting and l)e8t known is Adam's Peak. The bo] of the coffee plantations lie at an deratioD of between 2000 it. ani 5000 ft. ; here the climate i %vell-nigh perfection, and the loxtirj of the planter's bungalow wiith its European oomforta, iv rounded by roses and (;eraninms, with English fmita and vegetables, can be most juatly appn elated after tho heat of a jonmey fn>kn Colombo to the hill stitions. The coffee plant is not, as cinnamon i«, indigenous to Ceylon ; it was probably brought thitk by Arab traders centuries ago, and there are now few native hamlets in tho low country tin have not scattered coffee bushes around their door. It was not, however, till about 1830 thtl European enterprise was first directed to the cultivation of cofl'eo in the island, since which dti it continued with varying success to 1874-5, when the export of coffee reached nearly l,OOO,000oin representing at tho then ruling price a value of nearly £5,000,000 sterling. These va«t retnn on ottpital drove jungle lands up to an exttavagant price, and Crown lands at an upact priced £1 an acre fluently sold by public auction at from £20 to £24 au acre. This great prosperity, however, did not continue unchecked. In 1878-9 tJie effects of tin fungus {Uttniteia niKtatriz) known as " leaf disease," so seriously diminislied tho cropa, thit planters began to turn their attention to other plants adapted to tho climate and soil; cis- ehona and tea h^rn both been doopssfnlly cultivated, but it is mainly to the latter thattb planters now look with confidence to retrieve their fortuues and bring back prosperity io tho iaUad. The extent of tea pl^uited since 1877 exceeds 100,000 ucrcs, and the export has alrfitdr risen from 2105 lbs. to 3,700,000 lbs.; the prospects both in crop and flavour have been a successful that large plantations of ooffee are being rooted up to make way for tea. It ii confidently auticipitted that within aix years the export will reach 26,000,000 lbs. No conntij can boost of a better or cheaper labour supply ; but it is chiefly imported from India. The Sinhalese peasant* are excellent domestic servants, and aro good at felling trees ud oloaring jungles, irrigation, and other works enforced under the Village Communities Act bit very few will undertake the routine work of the hill plantation labour. Ceylon has therefore become the fiivourite resort of emigrants from tho Malabar ui Coromandcl coast, who flock over in thousands during tho coffee harvest ; there are no unnec««nij restriotions, and the coming and going of these labourers is made as free and as easy as powbte. Public " rest houses " and hospitals arc provided by Govomment at easy distaiirca along tk central load running from Kandy to Jaffna, by which the bulk of tho emigrants find tbdi way to the plantation*. In the prosperous yemn of coffee, as many as 150,000 Coolie labourers would migrate (o Ceylon in one year, returning to their native villages to spend their savings, and immigFttii; again for the next luureat. In addition to coffee, cinchona and tea, cacao is becoming an important item on nuoj plantations and is of excellent quality ; India rubber, tapioca, vanilla and other tropical protiacti, are also successfully grown on many properties. The large cultivation of duuamon and coooanut palm is chiefly in the hands of natini: both thrive best in the low country near the sea. For many years the export of cinnamon wmi Government monopoly, bat now there aro no restriotions on its growth or export ; tlio aotoffii of the cinnamon exported in 1883 exceeded 2335,000 lbs. The cultivation of the ooc» nut palm with its multifiarions nsea is the moat important in the life of tho low oonobt Sinhalese. The spirit he drinks is dialled from the sap, tho kernel of the nut is a neoeiMiT element in his daily evarrj, the ** milk " of the nut the beverage offered to every visitor. Hu only lamp is fed from tho oil, the nets for fidhtng nro manufactured from the fibre, as in aluc lis lope which keeps his goat or cow firom stmying, wliile tlie rafters of his house, the tkatcli i the roof, and the vrindow blinds are made from its leaf and wood. Tho extent and value of tin cultivation of tliis palm amy be gathered from the fact that while, as already stated, its c^ products are a universal mecemty in the daily life nf tho island population of nearly 3,OOO,00(. tlie export of oil, copra and fibre exceeds in amount £700,000 annually, and the reveo derived from the excise duty levied on the spirit (arrack) distilled from tlie sap exce«i> JC170,000.

TUo foreit troea of Britiah North Borneo are very numerous, and amount to about seventy- eight known kinds. Some of those aro valuable for worhl-wide uses, and ei.i8t in sucli quantities as renders the use of them available in those countries where wood is scarce, particularly China and Australia, which are only distant some 1,100 miles from British North Borneo ; countries which afford markets lor enormous quantities of timber now chiefly obtained firom North America. A i^kI idea may bo obtaiuetl of the fewilitics afforded to the Timber Trado by referring to the Map of British North Borneo, which in e^dition to a sea-board of over 700 geographical niilea, exhibits many creeks, harbours, and large rivers. The area of BriUsh North Borneo is 31,000 square mi^os, the greater portion of which is covered with dense forest, containing trees up to ten feet in diameter, and of great height — many of them being over 100 feet to the first branch. Some of the woods of British North Borneo are particularly handsome, and have received from the trado the name of Borneo Mahogany, and Borneo Walnut, while others liave been named Borneo Cedar and Borneo Ironwood, form qualities which are recognised as being similar to those well-known woods, and these it is hoped will find a paying market in any part of tlie world. A glance at the Map of the World will show that British North I5orneo occupies such a position in the Malay Archipelago as enables its timber merchants to deal profitably with the Straits Settlements, China, and Australia. The woods selected for this Exhibition are the following, obtainable in quantity, and fox which orders can be executed, and notes will enable the trade to understand for what special uses the different woods are suitable. As regards the prices at which the same can be supplied, information can be obtained at the Office of The British North Borneo Company, 4 and G, Tlirogmorton Avenue, London. Description of Samples.
