Picture Printing.
Fancy Trades Register.


Many attempts have been made to
print a picture, or design in varied col
Ors or by a single impression, but these
have all proved more or less defective,
owing to the blending of the pigments
with each other. \ new process in
vented recently, is, however, free from
this objection, and is so successful, that
a mandatory for carrying it out is
being erected at Passay, near Paris.
The secret of success consists in en-
ploying solid colors in the form of a
hard mosaic, from which the impress
sion is made. This p~oly-chrome block
is formed by making a solid matrix of
the ground color, and then cutting out
the pattern by a sharp steel knife
mounted on the end of a iOinted paral-
telegram to keep it vertical while leav-
ing it free to move horizontally. An
other way toform this intaglio mold is,
to indent it by a wood or steel die, on
which the picture is cut in relief. The
various paints are poured into the mold
Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1881-06-10

in a hot and liquid state, one after an
other, taking care always to allow the
preceding ones to cool. When the
whole design is finished, and the mo-
sale complete, it is shaved with a keen
steel knife, SO as to give it a flat,
smooth, level surface. 1t is then put
into q powerful press, resembling that
used by photographers; the material to
be printed is laid face downwards on
it's slightly moistened surface, and a
series of rollers are passed over it once
or twice, SO as to impart the picture to
it. The print is then exposed for a few
seconds to the heat of a hot plate in
order to drive off volatile solvents and
fix the colors, which are thereby rem
dered so permanent that they will
stand exposure to the sun. Cloths
painted in this way only lose to the
picture when their tissues wear away;
aud a piece Of velvet boiled for eight
hours in a strong potash solution still
retained some of the color. Water-col-
or paintings can be reproduced on pa
per by this plan SO as to present the
appearance of acknowledgements and
oleographs; but there is a far wider
field for the method in printing the
beautiful designs of Gobelins and Ar
busson tapestry on textile fabric, so as
to form pictorial screens and curtains.

q Last Farewell.

The late Gen. Joseph Lane,of Oregon,
writing, just before his death, to a
friend in his old home in Indiana, said:
"When you recall the date Of my birth,
Dec. IA, 1901, and my marriage June,
20, 1920, and the taking my seat in the
legislature in December, 1922, you will
naturally say l married very young and
commenced political life very early.
That is true, but l was a man for all
that. l am as nea the grave as it is
possible for man to be and still live. l
am standing on the shore of the dark
river, calmly waiting for the vessel to
bear me to the other side. l a not
hope to write you again even by the
hand of another, so / bid you an affec-
t~ionate, a long. a last farewell"

Mauna Loa.

Private dispatches from the Sand
wich Islands report that the famous
volcano, Mauna Loa, is still in erup-
ton, and has been continuously so
since the early part of October. The
inhabitants say that the present erup-
ton exceeds in grandeur, extent, and
activity, any that they can remember,
or of which there is any record. The
American residents say that the spec
tacle is magnificent, and well worth a
voyage thither. The principal crater
is sixteen thousand feet long, and nine
thousand to ten thousand feet wide,
is constantly belching forth smoke,
steam and flame, and occasionally
throws up vast rocks, while the lava
pours down the side Of the mountain
nearly fourteen thousand feet high, in
broad streams. Some of the eruptions
have lasted thirteen months, and it is
thought that the present n will lie
fully as long, for it has steadily aug
mented from the outset. 1t has been
compared with the action Of 1859,
when three new craters were opened
onthe side of the mountain, the loftiest
one being ten thousand feet above the
sea level, though the two lower were
the more violent. From one of these
rose a column of liquid fire five hun
dred feet high. There are now six
craters active, and it is said that the
chief one throws out occasionally q
s%tupendous mass of flame six hundred
feet in altitude. Several Of the rivers
of lava are five or six miles wide, and
these actually form cascades, and in
some instances are SO voluminous rs to
run up hill. The lava has also forced
it's way through subterranean outlets,
and tumbled with a Kissing, roaring
sound into the sea. Mauna Loa has
been far more energetic OF late years
than it used to be, and is now distin.
gushing itself uninvitedly. Some OF
the lava beds are enormous. The
lava streams frequently cool on top
and when new lava is added the crust
breaks with loud explosions. Consid
cradle uneasiness is felt among the res
idents of Honolulu lest their dwelling:
be destroyed, and the opinion is gener
ally expressed that in no volcano OF
the globe have finer natural pyrotech
MICS been seen than now and there.

FARM NOTES..

Ilere are more nedlUn-glNlng proper
ties in a few rusty nails than in some
of the so-called poultry food.
From experiments made, many
farmers Of Pennsylvania claim that
animals will weigh more when bran is
mixed with corn meal than when the
latter alone is fed.
Every farmer would find it profitable
to raise some sorghum for syrup, and
in addition to that, sorghum for fod-
der, dried, or fed green, is a magnificent
feed for stock of all kinds, especially
mich cows.
In an address before the American
Agricultural association, in New York,
e. Pekar, the Hungarian commissioner
recently sent over, announced that the
hinty winter wheat of Minnesota was
the grain mostly sought in his country.
Poultry of all kinds should be well
fattened on yellow corn, if possible, but
should not be fed for at least twelve
hours before killing, as a crop filled
with food sours and turns black, injur-
ing the appearance and sale very ma
terially.
A strange cattle disease has made
its appearance in Denning, Ulster coun-
ty, N. Y. The cattle are seized with
trembling and bloating, and blood
sometimes flows from their nostrils;
they are in much pain, and refuse to
eat. Death ensues in q few hours.
Several cattle raiSerS and farmers have
lost from three to ten head with the
disease.
When corn is planted in drills, the
di lis should run North and South, it
is reasonably said. In this case the
eastern part of the corn receives the
morning sun, the western the afternoon
sun. Were the rows to run east and
west, the north side of the rows would
receive sunshine only at midday To
what extent the crop is affected by
the direction Of the lows is a fit sub
lect for experiment.
A man who cannot afford to fence
IN his hogs upon his WI land, so that
they will not depredate upon the crops
of his nighboIs, should not be permit
ted to own hogs. y small area in grass
dlu clONcI, pedlluIS anu dIIlcIIOhcS,
will enable every farmer to raise his
own meat at half the price usually
paid for pork. Provided with an
abundance of green vegetable food,
hogs can be raised very cheaply, and
are not very liable to contract disease
Mr.. Joseph Harris, of Monroe coun'
ty, New York, is an enthusiast on the
Essex pig question, He says: The
Essex are so quiet, so refined, SO docile
that they will keep fat on grass. Lear
rarely afford my hogs the luxury of
clover pasture. Those farmers wht
have plenty of clover, could not do
more profitable thing than to keel
plenty Of Essex swine. IN sections Ii
able to visitations of hog cholera, m.
plan would be to keep Essex and thei
grades and feed them largely on grass
l am confident that we could rails
healthier and better and cheaper hog
by the introduction Of more Esse!
blood, and by feeding more grass an'
clover. The subject is n of nationa
Importance.

ZHE CRY ELECTION:

A little more than six; weeks from
this issue the city election will take
place. As this is a matter in which
every well disposed citizen is more OF
less concerned. We hope that they
will begin TO look around for
suitable men to serve as Mayor, Recor-
der and Trustees. There are quite a
number of our citizens who can fill
these positions with credit to them
selves. 1t has been stated that some Of
them who have been approach
ed on the subject, have declined to al
low their names to be: brought before
the public in connection with the can
didacy for any Office. This is altogeth-
er mistaken idea. No man is too
good to serve the public if it sees fit
to elect him. On the contrary it is
the imperative duty Of every one to
assist in bearing the burden of public
servitude, and the better man he. is,
the better public servant will he be.
The coming season will be fraught
with interest to every permanent citi-
zen here. Already the tide of emigra-
ton isrolling hitherward. We have
been reliably informed that the, white
covered wagons Of the incoming ten
derfeet already thicken on the Arkan-
sas riverroad,and in ashort time we may
expect the advance guard here. Let us
therefore put our house in order to re-

"a
Reader, what do you think Of a
man from Missouri who will try to IN
duce couple Of miners, who have
been working in the Rockies for the
last two dozen years, to believe
that bananas are raised in that state,
and that Missouri is county in the
southern part Of Arkahsaw1 Well, a
few days ago the PlLor man stepped
into Shurtleff's store, and there Sat
Dick Roelf on the counter, telling a
couple Of German miners the above
story. The banana part they could
swallow very well for as we said before,
they had always lived in the mines,
and as bananas are a luxury that DON
often find their way to some parts Of
the mountains, these Germans didn't t
know much about them but when it
came to the geographical question. the
Dutchmen denied Dicks assertion.
But Dick seemed 50 persistent in his
statement that they became partially
convinced; still there. being a linger-
ing doubt in their minds they went to
their cabin and got out their map and
discovered that Dick was mistaken.
Presently they came down Ninth street
foaming at the mouth. Red Rogers
tackled them to know the cause of
their rage, thinking perhaps somebody
had jumped their gruh-stake, OF sur
