How Plates Are Made by Means of Pho.
tOgravure and Zincography.
The photogravure process IS the
process of engraving by photography.
The art, which can be performed by
several differen methods, is also
known by the names Of photO-en-
craving, photo-zincography and proc
ess engraving. In ordinary zincog-
raphy the picture is laid by the help
of transfer paper on zinc plate: the
parts to be protected are then covered
with a varnish that will resist acid,
and the whole is then dipped in bath
of dilute nitrous acid. This is re-
peated until the biting in is sufficient,
when the plate is dried and the ink
taken off with benzine. In another
process, brass plates are used which
are covered with white wax, the de-
sign being drawn with an etching
point upon the wax. The plate is
then submitted to a powerful acid
which acts upon the parts of the metal
exposed by the lines, but does not
affect the wax. In photo-zincog-
raphy the drawing is photographed
to the right size, and an
ordinary negative on glass is taken.
This is then laid on a sensitized zinc
plate ON which the picture is printed
by the action of light, The zinc is
coated with bitumen, and afters the
picture is printed so much Of the btu
men as has not become insoluble by
the action of light is removed by a
wash Of turpentine. In another proc
ess, the Photographic etching process,
the negative is printed on sensitized
carbon paper, which is then laid down
on a polished zinc plate, and being
wet, all the carbon paper that does not
hold the lines of the drawing is readily
removed. The plate is then bitten in
an acid bath. In what is called the
Ives process, a negative is applied to q
gelatine plate sensitiZed with bi-chro-
matte of potash. This plate is then
put into water, and all the parts not
touched by the negative will swell. A
cast is then taken of this in plaster of
paris, which serves to form base for
electrotypes. The lines Of engraving
can also be reproduced by photog-
raphy, and a recent process produces
successfully intaglio plates. Photo
engraving has enormously cheapened
the production of pictures, but it does
not give plates that print with the
clearness and distinctness OF those
taken from wood engravings- The
word photo-gravufe is pronounced
with the accent on the third syllable
of the compound word, ilf which the

A Singular Water-Cave Near tho Banner
City of the Aborieines

SltV "a the fADOPIglneS,
More than half century ago q great
cathedral was commenced in this out
| of-the-way hamlet, says a writer de-
scribing a visit to Merida, in Yucatan,
under the direction of some long-dead
curate. 1t is needless to add that the
poor Indians, who can barely keep soul
and body together, could never com.
plete it. One end has been rooted and
rudely fitted up as o chapel, and be-
~yond are the high, uncovered walls,
fast crumbling to decay. Sitting upon
an adobe bench in the little plaza
which occupies the center Of the town,
we were greatly astonished by what
looked like series of mysterious dis
appearances. There was a continuous
procession OF women, going and COM
ing, each with big "cantero,n or water
jar upon her shoulder. AS they went
from us they suddenly passed out of
sight at the distance of few yards
while others as suddenly appeared,
with faces toward us, as if they had
risen out of the earth / rubbed my
eyes, thinking 1t an optical illusion
But no; there they were, appearing
and disappearing in constant pro-
cession, like so many phantoms or
iacks-in-a-box.
Determined to solve the mystery, we
Joined the procession and quickly
came to a wide opening in the level
but rocky surface of the ground, in
visible at a little distance, which we
at once recognized as the mouth Of
cenote, or water cave. There being
no other stream or well for miles
around, this subterranean reservoir
supplies all the inhabitants with water.
The descent is by regular steps cut in
the limestone, now worn into hollows.
Overhead extends an immense wall of
stone, and five hundred feet from
the mouth is an inexhaustable supply
of clear, cold water, which has no
current, and whose source Is
mystery. They tell US that it
rises little during the rainy season,
but never falls below a certain point
at any time Of year. Around the
mouth of the cave birds and bats were
circling and darting, and the Egyptian
looking figures, ascending and descend
ing with the water-jars, made a scene
as picturesque as romantic. Luckily
there are few strangers and no drunk
ards in Telchaquillo-for, as "all roads
lead to Rome" the paths everywhere
lead through this plaza, and the easi-
est thing in life would be to tumble
through the broken roof into the bot
tomless gulf beneath. The ruins Of
Mayapan are; found upon the hacienda
of San Joaquin, which forms part OF
the vast estate known as Xcanchakan,
once the property of Don Jose Maria
Nemesis, a former provesor of the
Church Of Yucatan. This place is
supposed to have been the capital of
the Mayas, and is spoken of by the
early historians as Ell Pendon dc los

ines. Louisville Comier-Journal.

The Disappearance of the Dread Disease
In the Western World, esa4ss-aassss
Mr.. John H. Putnam, Consul OF the
United States in Honolulu, recently
reported that number of white per-
sons afflicted with leprosy emigrate
from Hawaii to this country every
year. He does not attempt to give
statistics. but asserts that as soon as 8
white man is convinced that he is q
victim OF this disease he leaves Hawaii
to escape o lifelong Imprisonment
upon the little island whore the un-
fortunate lepers of that kingdom are
isolated. Mr.. Putnam's statement is
too vague and general in its nature to
excite much attention unless corrob"
Grated by evidence obtained elsewhere.
Some time since a native Hawallan
who would had been condemned
to death for murder was told that his
sentence would be commuted to inn

Whether leprosy Is contagious or
not, it is certain that high state Of
civilization and the improved condi-
tion of the poorer people in modern
times are not conducive to its develop.

churches of England may still be seea
the slanting '.leper window" through
which the poor leper of the middle
ages was permitted to view the cere-
mony Of the mass, though he might
not enter the sacred edifice. Centuries
ago Europe was delivered, save in two
or three spots, from the curse of lep-
rosy, which, in the middle ages, made
its pest houses almost as numerous as
its churches. In Eastern Canada
there still exists an isolated oommu-
nifty of lepers, but in our country there
are very few victims of the disease,
even among Chinese immigrants, OF

In the far East, the ancient seat OF

TREATMENT FOR WARTS.
ID HOW to Cure One of the Cows Most Dis
- tressing Summer Ailments.

- HOW to Cure One of the Cows Most Dis
- tressing Summer Ailments.
In summer cows are apt to grow
large numbers OF tiny warts on their
teats. From handling them while
milking, these warts often become
very sore and cause the COW much
: pain, from which she becomes uneasy
and restless. provoking the mixer to
anger and sometimes to blows. 1t
easy enough to say the farmer should
discharge any man who would strike a
COW, especially when she is in pain,
but this remedy imposes q certain
amount of punishment upon the farm
er himself by compelling him to look
up another man at busy season when
they are hard to find. The proper rem
edy is for the owner of such cows to
take them in hand himself, and not
only milk them carefully, but begin to
doctor them, in order to remove the
cause of this restlessness as soon as
possible. As very general rule these
warts are so easily removed that there
are innumerable presc riptions made up
and prepared by laydoctors, who, in
each instance, think they have found
a sure cure for every case. This, how
ever, is not always the fact, for some
times the COW is so badly affected that
nothing but scientific treatment will
accomplish a permanent cure. For this
j reason it is best to try first the most
!, simple remedy, such as plain lard APP
piled night and morning. If this fails
then use sal soda and tie threads
around the largest warts, close
up to the roots, and tie
the thread very tightly. If
you are still unsuccessful then try
lunar caustic, and do not be in too
great a hurry with it, but apply it
lightly and only once a day or it will
make the warts very sore. By apply
ing this caustic three or four times a
week you will be about certain to ef-
feet a cure, but it is best to take the
case in hand as soon as your attention
: is called to the warts. 1t is thought
{ by some dairymen that warts are
catching" and that COW with them
will cause them to come on other COWS
in the herd, but the probabilities are
that the same causes that produce them
on one are at work ON all other men,
bers OF the herd. --An9ericaa D1irg.
