Where CoIors Gonna From.

A well-known artist gave me some
curious information the other day re-
garding the sources from which the
colors one finds in a paint box are de-
rived. Every quarter of the globe is
ransacked for the material-animal,
vegetable and mineral-employed in
their manufacture. From the cochineai
insects are obtained the gorgeous car
mine, as well as the crimson, scarlet and
purple lakes. Sepia is the inky fluid
discharged by the cuttlefish to render
the water Opaque for its concealment
when attacked.
Indian yellow is from the camel. Ivory
black and bone black are made out Of
ivory chips. The exquisite Prussian
blue is got by fusing horses hoofs and
other refuse animal matter with impure
potassium carbonate. twas discovered
by an accident In the vegetable king
dom are included the lakes, derived
from roots, barks and gums. Blueblack
is from the charcoal of the vinestalk.
Lampblack is SCOT from certain resinous
substances. From the madden plant
which grows in Hindoostan, is manu-
featured turkey red. Gamboge comes
from the yellow sap Of a tree, which the
natives of Siam catch in cocoanut shells.
Raw sienna is the natural earth from
the neighborhood of Sienna, Italy,
When burned it is burnt sienna. Raw
lumber is an earth from Umbria, and is
also burned. To these vegetable pig
ments may probably be added India ink,
which is said to be made from burnt
camphor. The Chinese, who alone pro-
duce it, will not reveal the secret of its
composition Mastic, the base of the
varnish so-called, is from the gum of the
mastic tree, indigenous TO the Grecian
Archipelago. Bistre is the SCOT Of wood
ashes OF real ultramarine but little is
found in the market 1t is obtained
from the precious lapis lazuli, and com
mands fabulous price. Chinese white
is zinc, scarlet is iodide of mercury, and
cinnabar or native Vermillon is from
quicksilver ore Luckily for the health
of small children, as my friend the art
ist remarked, the water colors in the
cheap boxes usually bought for them
have little or no relation, chemically, to
the real pigments they are intended 10
counterfeit. -Sdn Francisco Erdmihsr.

A cattle man from Arizona, William

San Francisco. says the New York SIN,

but Nugget would have none OF him.
The master whistled 10 the dog, petted
him, and made every effort to make him
understand that affection was not
changed. even though clothes had been.
The dog looked up at the silk hat which
had taken the place of the broad
brimmed SLOUGH to which he had been
accustomed. smiled at the dude-like
cane, and surveyed the light trousers
from several points of view, and then
walked of 10 the corner Of the room, lay
down. and gave long. mcuinful howl.
Mr.. Wilson tried to coax him out of the
corner, but could not Nugget would
look up at him with a knowing expires

the feebest little wag 10 the end of his
tail. but he could not be induced to re-
consider his evident determination not
10 recognize his master in any such
riiicu Gus attire as that.
Mr.. Wilson went to his hotel, donned
his cowboy rig again, and then returned
to Nuggets quarters The instant the
dog saw him he was almost " Id with
Joy. and rs delight at seeing his master
again clothed as he thought man ought

"What do we do with so many old

1t was the proprietor of San Fran
cisco Quitting store on Pacific str ct
and he was answering the inquiry of the
E,nrm i4sr reporter as to what he wanted
of 5000 old pictorial and story papers for
which he had advertised.
ITO the Arctic Cceani And what do
YOU do with them therel"
1--WE send them up to the sailors on
the whaling vessels. About 800 sailors,
engaged through us, are up there over
half the year, and to each one of these
we send at least fifteen papers every sea
son. They are glad to get most any
thing in the shape Of paper, but most
of the men like magazines and such
papers better than anything else"
''Do you depend entireiy on the an
swers TO your advertisements for your
stock of papers"
No; we 20 to each one of the news
papers in this city, both weekly and
daily, and get back numbers. And then
we send to each Of the sailors a few of the
current issues of the city papers. These
papers here came in answer TO our ad-
vertisement," and he put his hand on a
stack three feet high. Some of the num-
bcrs dated back eight or nine years.
"Those letters, do they also go2' A
long box full Of yellow envelopes, each
with a superscription to somebody on
some whaleship. Arctic Ocean, lay be-
side the papers.
Eyes, we send each year one letter to
each man. OF course they like to know
what is going on here, and we write a
general account of matters of interest
and personal gossip and whatever we
think the men would like to know"
You don't write a different, indi-
vidual letter TO each man, do you."
"Oh, no. We bunch them as much
as possible and make the same letter in
duplicate do for several men. These let
tiers are ali ready to be sent up next week
on the Bear, but it will be about month
before the papers and letters are all fixed
up and started of. The men exchange
their papers and letters, so that what we
send keeps the entire feet IN reading
matter through the season"

there was the same abundance of flowers,
while the ballroom was decorated with
tropical plants and festooned with rose
wreaths. The musicians gallery was

four post Offices in the country. The
navy consists of two gunboats, presented
by the English Government, which are
rotting on the sand. Some time ago the
President of the United States recon-
mended TO Congress the giving to the
infant republic of two old war vessels,
but the offer was re ected unless crews

vided. The army consists of one regi-

there are not enough citizens to hold the

Glass distinctions prevail to the extent
they did in the Southern States during
slavery tines. The citizens domineer
over the savages and often use them
cruelty. Their boys make the young
sayages carry them on their backs to

Candidates for admission to the Bar are
required to read the first chapter of
Johns gospel and to spell the columns OF

the generality OF rich young women, are
now learning aDd practicing the art Of
posing at all times. In New York a
class in gymnastics has about twenty
five pupils, and the ostensible training
received from their master is in the use
of dumb bells and Indian clubs, but once
week he gives instruction 10 them in
poses. He tells them that they should
acquire the knack of never taking awk-
ward positions, whether walking, sitting
or lying. He assures them that if they
learn thoroughly how to do it they will
eventually take graceful attitudes I'M
consciously, and so he puts them through
variety Of postures. He shows them
how to take a seat in a chair OF rise from
it; how TO recline on sofa, or lie fiat
on a couch and he even gives them in

The surveys at present being made for
the Kansas City, IL PasO and Mexican
Railroad, which will be built in a dag
onal direction through New Mexico from
northeast to southwest, promise to bring
to the light of modern exploration
some regions of remarkable interest
which nave heretofore been closed to the
scientist on account CT their inaccessi-

along the lava flow which by the local
population is called the Molpais, which
Is probably the most unique Of its kind
in America. 1t consists Of sea Of
molten black glass, agitated at the

fantastic shapes. These lava waves or
ridges are from 10 to 12 feet high with
combing creSts, ami the whole formation

One Of the pests of life in South
America is the ubiquitous mosquito,
which there attains such an enormous
size and venom that his victims are num-
bered by the scores. Not long ago a
herd Of valuable cattle taken from the
Uuitad States to a ranch upon the Mag
dalena River became so desperate under
the attack of the mosquitoes that they
broke from their stalls, jumped into the
water and all were drowned. Passengers
intending TO make the voyage usually
provide themselves with protection in
the shape Of mesquite bars, head nets
and thick gloves, and when on deck are
compelled 10 tie their sleeves ground
their wrists and pantaloons around their
ankles. Even these precautions are not
always effective. Large as the insects
are they seem to have the power &c creep
through the smallest crevice, and it is
often necessary TO change ones clothing
four or i've time a day on their &c count.
Day and night they give the sensitive
skinned travellers no rest. ! have been
solemnly assured that very often when
they have attacked boat and driven its
captain aud crew below they have
broken the windows OF the cabin BY
pluneing in swarms against them and
have attempted to burst in the ioors.
Although this may be something of an
exaggeration it is nevertheless true that
frequently horses and cattle, after, the
most frightful suiferin-s. have died from
mosquito bites on board the vessels.
