porcelain illustrating the different types and colors employed in 
that branch of art. There are teapots in terra-cotta, polychro- 
matic flower-vases from Canton and a group of clay lamps. The 
various metal industries of China are represented by objects of 
bronze, tin, pewter, copper, silver and iron. 
Along the north wall are represented implements of copper 
and iron, glassware, agriculture, basketry and matting. House- 
hold articles, kitchen utensils, clothing, foot and head gear, fans, 
weapons and armor are fully represented. In one section the 
blacksmith’s trade is illustrated, and in an adjoining section the 
carpenter’s. 
An entire section is given up to an elaborate display of all 
kinds of tobacco-pipes, the dry pipes as well as water-pipes, and 
opium-pipes. The various brands of tobaccos, snuffs and other 
smoking-materials also find place here. In one case are drugs 
and the apothecary’s outfit, surgical instruments and needles used 
in acupuncture, the horse doctor’s outfit and implements used in 
massage treatment. Other cases display carpets, bamboo, coir 
palm, chemical products, medicines, hygiene and cosmetics. 
On the west side in one case are exhibited articles of food, 
and the implements of various industries,—butcher’s, baker’s, 
fruit-seller’s, cake-seller’s, stone-cutter’s etc. Ina wall-case are 
lanterns of paper, pongee and horn and an altar set of papier- 
maché. An exhibit of dolls showing various styles of dress is 
also to be seen on this side of the hall. In the same case is 
exhibited quite a collection of pigeon whistles. These whistles 
are attached to the tails of pigeons by means of fine wires, and 
when the birds fly through the air a plaintive sound is produced by 
the wind striking the holes in the whistles. Besides these, money, 
weights and measures; harness; shows, games and toys, and 
actors’ paraphernalia and masks are all represented. 
A special flat case in the southwest corner contains objects 
fully illustrating the printer’s art; and along the south side of 
the hall are exhibited religion; wood, ivory, and stone carving; 
cloisonné and carved lacquer work; ancient pottery; musical in- 
struments; embroidery, decorative art, drawing and painting, 
and ancient bronzes.
