Exhibit of the German Kaii Works. 



iil 



hibit comprises a full collection of those minerals, which are highly inter- 

 esting to the geologist and agricultural student. 



There are many varieties of crude potash salts, differing in their chem- 

 ical composition, among those Carnal lite and Kainit are the most impor- 

 tant. From these are manufactured the concentrated salts, such as muriate 

 of potash, sulphate of potash and many other chemicals. 



All these products are fully displayed at the exhibit, as well as photo- 

 graphs of the mines and /naps showing and illustrating their location. 

 Especially interesting to the agriculturist are various illustrations of experi- 

 ments and graphic tables revealing in a Btriking manner the beneficial 

 effect of potash upon crops and the important part which this element plays 

 in plant nutrition. 



The pavilion in which the exhibit of the German Kali Works is con- 

 tained is of great architectural beauty. It is the tallest structure of all agri- 

 cultural exhibits and built in Renaissance style, richly decorated with 

 allegorical figures, designed by Mr. Win. Westpnal, a well-known sculptor 

 of Berlin.
