Whence Colors Come.
[lowa state Register.l


A well-known artist gave me some curious
information the other day regarding the
sources from which the colors one finds in
paintbox are derived. Every quarter Of the
globe is ransacked for the material-animal,
vegetable and mineral-employed in their
manufacture.
From the coehineal insects are obtained
the gorgeous carmine, as well as the GRIM
son, scarlet carmine, and purple lakes.
Sepia is the inky fluid discharged by the
cuttle-fish to render the water opaque for its
concealment when attacked.
Indian yellow is from the camel

OF ivory chips.
ing horses hoofs and other refuse animal
matter with impure potassium carbonate.
IL was discovered by ah accident.
In the vegetable kingdom are included the
lakes, derived from roots, barks and gums.
Blue-black is from the charcoal Of the vine
stalk.
From the madden plant, which grows in
Hindostan, is manufactured Turkey red.
Gamboge comes from the yellow sap OF
tree, which the natives OF Siam catch In CO.
cOanut shells.
Raw sienna is the natural earth from the
neighborhood Of Sienna, Italy.
Raw umber is an earth from Umbria, and
is also burned.
To these vegetable pigments may probably
be added India ink, which is said to be made
from burnt camphor. The Chinese, who
alone produce it, will not reveal the secret OF
its composition.

TnE STRIKERS SURRENDER.
Chief Arthur and His Lieutenants
Termin ate the Burlington Strike.

CHICAGO, May "a. At conference re-
Gently held between Chief Arthur OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Grand Master Sargent of the Firemen's
Brotherhood, II. d. Kenney, }. Hoge and
other representatives of the Chicago, Buri-
ington and Quincy strckers, an arrange
ment was made by which the strike was
virtually declared off.
1t was decided to make the question Oh
surrender or continuance of the light
matter OF local option with the separate divi-
sions OF the Brotherhoods.
The strike is already declared off at Lin
coin, Nebraska, Criston, Iowa and several
other western points. The strikers at Gales
burg, Aurora, Kansas City and several of the
eastern divisions have resolved to continue
the fight but it is only question of a short
time when they will be forced to surrender.
This step was forced upon the strikers by
reason of depleted treasury with no
possibility of raising money. 1t is not claim
ed that any special arrangement was made
with the company, but the strikers are conf
dent that large percentage will regain their
former places.

Tory Tactics,

1t is certainly impossible to refrain from
doing justice to the skill and fertility OF re-
source evidenced by the Tory leaders in what
may be called their plan of campaign. Lord
Salisbury, to be sure, initiated Prince Bis.
marck's tactics of last winter, in calling for
immense sums to strengthen the defences Of
the nation, but the success Of his course was
evinced by the genuine alarm which his dec
larations of England's inability to contend
with any first class power produced, and he
has undoubtedly fortified his position and
that Of his party by posing as a sort Of pat
riotic prophet. A capital conception, too, is
that Of the conference committee of members
of Parliament of all shades Of political opin-
ion to consult upon measures which are be-
yond dispute for the benefit Of the entire peo-
pie Any such beneficial legislation will, Of
course, rebound to the credit Of the govern
ment party, and the suggestion had the ap-
prOyal Of many Of the Independents who are
awake to the fact that the people see with
much dissatisfaction many questions OF I'M
pOrtance neglected in the everlasting struggle
over Home Rule. In spite OF the statutes
against obstruction the Irish question Is
block to many domestic measures In which
the masses Of the English people are natural
ly more interested. 1t will be double tri-
umph for the Tories il they can succeed in
shelving the Home Rule question for a
while, and at the same time conciliate the
Liberal UniOnists and the large class Of
voters who do not care TO be recognized as
steadv adhQFentS of anV marty.
