night before Christmas the boys concen-

dinner. An old darkey was sent OIL to
Rockville on a foraging expedition, with
~insfructions to get a turkey or never come

with as fine a turkey as ever %gobbled. a
twenty-pounder. and II was cooked In
splendid style by men who knew how to
do that sort Of a thing. 1t was on the ia

The crash was followed by a terrific ex-

that sent half the shingles flying from the

One of the best known characters about
Brunswick is a porpoise. For twenty
pears he has been seen there, and now
everybody knows him as "Cuthn.n This
name has been given to him because his

some combat with his rivals in the sea or
by the attack OF some human foe. But

How Architects Utilize blue Prints.-
What are termed ~blue prints haye
now become indispensable TO architects.
With blue prints we can make 5000 or
5000 absolutely accurat copies Of a draw
ing, where six years ago we would nave
to depend upon the skill and accuracy Of
a d%raughtsman in tracing. IL was for
merly the custom to trace a drawing on
white cloth, a matter involving time, Ia
hor aud care. Now we take a chemical
solution which comes to us in bottles,
dampen a piece OF white paper with it,
spread the drawing over the solution
dampened paper, cover both with a piece
Of plate glass, and place them where
the sun falls on them.
The sun shining through the transpa-
rent drawing turns the c~hcmicalized
paper blue in all places except
where lines are drawn. OF course,
as these lines are Opaque, the sun
does not reach the paper through them,
and the paper retains its original color I'M
der every line, no matter now delicately
drawn. Thus, when the sun has done its
work, we have the drawing in white lines
on blue background, the exact fac smile
Of the drawing. 1t is one of the neatest
improvements Of the day In our business.
