TIE MANUFACTURE OF MosAIcs.-Say, you
wish to make copy Of the Madonna della
Soda" A box three feet by three and half
with shallow side, Is procured and filed with
vet alabaster, nicely smoothed over and left
70 dry. Then the picture is drawn by lead
pencil on the alabaster, and the work COM
mences. Around the artist are little boxes Of
stones Of all colors and all sizes, and at his
side Is little grinding stone. He wishes
probably to make the eye first. The ball, OF
course, must be the commencement. All the
dry slabaster in the circle of the ball Is chise-
led out, wee alabaster is put in its place, tiny
white stones are then placsd in the material,
Saui the "ball is made. The pupil, say, Is
MACK, the "iris" gray. and the eight OF the
eXe" white. He then turns to the boxes,
atter chlsel!ng out the aiabaster, % befofe,
and reachss for the necessary cOlors and
shades Sometimes he is half 9 day before
one is found. and often 1t Is too large when
Iouad. He turns to bis Whetting- stone and
{slnds the tiny piece to Q still timer piece!
