hoBtRTSoN'S RE-OlSCovgRY OF THE
CHINESE POTTERY SECRET.

How an Accident Contained the Kernel
ments Under Adverse circumstances.
A Fine Collection of Vases.
Twenty five years ago Hugh Robertson was
assistant to his father, who had charge of a
pottery, and one day an accident happened,
l do not know what, and l should not tell il
| did, since, Of course, herein lies the kernel
OF an impoLant secret. II was some accident
involving the gla8es with which the clay
vessels were covered, and the assistant, then
a lad Of l. or Is. remembered the effects
which had been produced by the accident In
1876, at the Centennial exhibition. he saw for
the first time a specimen Of Chinese dragons
blooi," or "donkey'S liver" pottery and he
said 10 himself Il know what YOU are
When he first started the present establish
ment at Chelsea his brother was associated
with him, but he afterward went to the west.
leaving the potter struggling with adverse
circumstances and with limited resources.
but with an idea in his head that will make
his name one long remembered in the history
of American ceramic art.
II is now about year and a half since he
began TO devote himself to developing the
idea which had so long lain in his mind. and
to put TO the test of practical experiment the
theory he had concerning the dragons
blood" Everybody discouraged him; the
connoisseurs declared the thing impossible
Had not thousands of dollars been expended
i'll the French potteries in a vain struggle for
this very result; had not aim, st every great
establishment in the occidental world han
kered after this secret of the orient and
failed of obtaining it; who WAS he TO sit stub
bornly down under the lowly caves Of a pot
terry in the wilds Of Chelsea and expect to ac-
complish what had haffied so mnnyl But
Mr.. Robertson was obStinately persistent. He
went steadily on with his experiments merely
remarking that he never had left anything
half done Vet, and he refused to believe he
should have TO begin so diSagreeable habit

HIS FIRST EXPERIMENTS

On a shelf in his studio is a row of tiny clay
pipes upon which he tried his first ventures
with his glaze. 1t is one OF the astounding
peculiaritieS of the glaze he has discovered
that it may under different conditions give
shades Of red varying from most splendid
deep carmine TO faintest pink, various shades
of blue, gray, yellow, and SO on for a larger
variety than venture to name, lest the whole
appear 50 improbable that be suspected Of
romancing throughout These first trials
range through all the colors | have named
and, as well, include those rare blue-greens
which are so highly prized in Chinese pottery
The texture is smooth, cracked Crenulated
and pretty nearly as varied as the hues Be-
tween those tubes, as large as a mans finger
and the superb vases taken out Of the kiln n
week or two since, there is all the difference
between idea and achievement In the first
the color was perfect, but innumerable and
expensive experiments have been necessary to
master the capricious and tricksy spirit Of the
glaze, to discover what conditions give Ger
tain results and what method of treatment
was best in each case
And all the time have been experiment

suggestions TO make. and even when ! was
convinced that there was absolutely nothing
in their ideas | couldn't help trying them
hadn't got what | wanted, and l was teased
by the thought that there might after all be
something in what this one or that one pro-
posed, but it always came TO nothing in the
end
And of course l labored under the most
unfavorable conditions. l had to expend
half my thought on thinking ont contrivances
to substitute for things | could not afford TO

an advance on anything before was because |

PLENTY OF SALT.
The Arrival of Twenty Carloads
Puts an End to the. Famine.

The backbone of the salt famine was
broken yesterday by the arrival of
twenty carloads Of the saline necessity
from Zion. Six of the cars arrived in
the afternoon, and fourteen more
dropped in last night. There is now
enough salt at the depot 70 warrant the
mills which suspended operations to re-
sumo, and the Lexington and Alice will
probably start up to-day. The Moul-
ton was not affected by the famine, hav-
ing enough salt stored away to keep
running in full blast for month. The
other mills will evicently profit by ex-
perience, and keep q reserve store of
salt on hand to meet emergencies.
The famine is not the fault OF tie
railroad company. The trouble oc-
Cured at the other end of the road in
Utah, where the salt is transported
from the works to the railroad by
teams. These teams were taken off for
some reason, an the salt shippers
missed connections, occasioning the
scarcity OF the article that has prevailed
here. As soon as Agent G. w. Scott
learned of the trouble occasioned the
mills here by the non-arrivaI of salt he
telegraphed to Assistant General
Freight Agent P. P. Shelby, at Ogden,
who at once dispatched a special salt
laden tran to the rescue. with instrcc-
tons thatit have the right of way from
Ogden TO Butte. The time made by
this train was equal TO that made by
the fastest passenger trains. Agent
Scott says there will be no recurrence of
the trouble if the Union Pacific knows
itself.-Bulte Miner.
