The TreacherOus Coal Hole Cover.


In front of every dwelling house in New York
is large round orifce, not unlike the mouth of a
public speaker. The coal hole is the slot into
which the driver of the cart must empty GOO
pounds of coal before the customer hands out the
price of ton IL also furnishes burglars with
facilities for obtaining etree into the finest houses
The person who makes coal hole covers a study
will find much to interest him. They are very
dissimilar In style of adornment. There is a kind
that bu ges If yeast powder had been used In
it's construction There Is another kind that Is fiat
breasted like a dude, and there Is still another that
is depressed like man who has bet on the wrong
candidate at a presidential election.
Some coal hole covers are richly embossed with
the post-office address of the foundry where they
are baked, while Others utterly destitute of lit
erature
Some coal hole covers grow a copious growth of
abnormally developed warts. Others, instead of
warts have either small stars or display of SYM
metrically arranged lozenges Still another kind
Of coal hole cover is adorned with an Irish sun
burst, or the American eagle with q large tape
worm in his beak, on which EpitribUS For POpuh
is inscribed.
But there is one style of coal hole cover that has
been shamefully neglected. | refer to the one that
is devoid of any ornamentation whatever and has
been worn slick and shiny by the feet of passing
pedestrians.
While the banana peel and the treacherous ice
that freezes with slippery side up no matter what
administration is in power, have received the most
fattering press notices, not voice has ever been
raised in favor of the slick coal hole cover which is
more treacherous than q New York politician.
There should be an ordinance requiring that
lamps should be placed every slick coal cover,
or it should be painted with luminous paint, so
that the beated pedestrian can steer clear of It..
OF course the treachereus coal hole cover cannot
compete with the truck driver in supplying the
medical colleges with subjects, but 1t is entitled to
an honorable mention or a blue ribbon. AS 1t is
now, every body sits down the slick coal hole
cover, and to place it right before the New York
public these lines ale written.

THE ACKNOWLEDGES OF MEN
TALITY IN SCIENCE.
BY c. X. GEORGE.

Helmholtz will in all probability never be recog-
niZed as peer of Darwin, Huxley and Haeckel.
Yet he is in the domain of his research important
a worker, as those named in theirs. lie has done
for science in the realm of sense impression what
Darwin has done in the realm of comparison and
in the induction based upon comparison. Helm
holtZ's experiments have opened door to science
which would otherwise have long remained closed
He has opened 10 the scrutiny of the scientists eye
whole vistas of possible sense-impressions and
their reflective energy which might never have
been recognized without the results obtained by
him.
UP to a very recent date the realm of mentality
was as far as science was concerned, the realm of
the dreamer and of the transcendentaist Sense
impressions, reflex activity of the sensorium could
not be classed otherwise than with the visions of
the clsirvoyant with the inspiration of the seer
with both of which science could hold no CON-
munon, SINE they talked in language mutually
uninteligibe. But through the work of Helm
hotz and others who have followed in his foot
steps, the door has been opened and is now recog-
nized as actual door, and not imaginary one
In recent paper by Prof Jastrow in Science
this thought is brought into prominence
A NEW SCIENCE MIND.-The authorities of
the College de France the representative institution
of the higher education in France have transformed
the chair of the claw of nature and of nations into
chair of experimental and comparative psyche
logy." The significance of this action lies in its
calling the "new psychology" to coordinate rank
with the more widely recognized and historically
sanctioned sciences. This honor has naturally
caused considerable inquiry as to the nature and
the objects of the science; and M. Paul Janet,
the well-known writer ethical topics, under
takes to enlighten his countrymen in this regard.
M. Janet, with perhaps pardonsble patriotism,
poses the new psychology as of French origin, but
it is really connected with the past by many roots
1t is related to the objective study of mind furth
cred by Hartley and Locke by Descartes and
Cabans; its welfare has been more essentially
secured by the general renaissance of physiological
and neurological studies of which the name of
Johannes Muller is Representatives the modern
alienists drew attention to the valuable mine of
mental phenomena that disease laid bare; and, after
it emerged as an independent study, it willingly
acknowledged its Indebtedness to physics and
physiology, as well as to psychiatry and anthro-
pology, without forgetting its parentage from the
psychology of the past, itself the result of pro-
gressive philosophic insight. The study of the
senses has acquired deeper and richer meaning
since the recognition of its place in a forming
science has come about. The revolutionary dis
coveries of Helmhotz, whose success is 30 largely
due to the union of two sciences, have induced
others to continue the work In q hundred direc-

reach Of the worker in steel Clear
ness OF outline the latter still poe
sesses in superior degree. owing To-
the greater hardness 81 the metal.
But since the substitution Of the cleo
-trotype for printing directly from the
block this difference has been greatly
lessened
The possibility Of bringing out
sharply certain portions OF a design
after the cut has been made. which
was discovered by the proprietors OF
the Century, has raised the best wood
cuts almost to the level Of steel en-
cravings in respect to sharpness Of
outline. This process. technically
known as "kcying up, 2 is very simple,
but exceedingly effective. After the
block Is put In the press and a proof
taken the-effectis noted, and under such
parts es require sstt::c;;sssi; aroentuatsiioIs
slips Of paper are placed. The lines
can thus be projected upward from be-
hind without alteration in the cut. and
more delicate alterations made than
it is possible to do by hand Photog-
raphy has also been called to the aid
OF the wood engraver. A design is
drawn, photographed. and the neg
alive reproduced directly on the block.
Where reduction in size is requeste ed
this plan has entirely superseded re-
drawing. A most important advan-
tage of wood cuts:over steel engravirgs
is the hapidjty with which they an
be printed. After each impression a
steel plate must be rubbed clean and
re-inked, most tedious process, as
the cleansing, to be effective, must be
done with the bare hand, all substi-
tutes having been found inefficient. A
wood block, on the other hand, can be
used in an ordinary press, and can bo
printed from as rapidly as from type.
The art has made many advances
during the last few years. but. strange
ly enough, the schools in which it is
taught are by no means numerous.
Engravers frequently take few pii-
pills, but the only regular institution
|. for teaching this art established west
Of New York City is the Missouri En-
craving School. -Chicago News.

WOOD ENGRAvlNGS.

Description of the Process Employed In
the Production of Fine Work.
Wood-engravings are made on Turk
ish lockwood. which, on account OF its
close and even fiber, answers the pur-
pose better than any other. The
blocks are sawed in slabs an inch in
thickness and the top highly polished.
All cutting is done against the grain.
Three tools are employed-the graver,
similar to that used on metals; the
tinter, a fine round-pointed instrument
used for drawing delicate lines, and
the routing-too1. for cutting away the
whites. The wood-engraver I first
sketches upon the block the outline Of
the designs, These lines are then
covered with fake white and the work
OF cutting begins The block is placed
upon pedestal, in order to bring it
near the eye OF the artist, and yet
leave his hands free and all parts
which are to appear light in the print
are cut away with the tool. The next
step is the graduation in the darker
portions These are produced by
shaving off the higher parts OF the
wood, but not sufficiently. to leave
them entirely below the surface at
which contact with the paper occurs.
The deep blocks are left untouched.
When a misstroke has been made a
hole OF the requisite size is bored in
the block and a plug of wood inserted.
This is carefully smoothed until it is
level with the surface and the mis-
take corrected. OF course. If placed
In the press the soft wood
would soon wear out. Here the aid
of the electrotyper is called in. The
block is placed in battery and thin
film OF metal is deposited by the electric
battery over its surface. The print is
taken from this, backed either by Che
original engraving or by type metal,
the engraving being taken out and
molten metal poured into its place.
With few exceptions all books are
illustrated bySwood-cuts. and the re-
cent wonderful growth in pictorial
advertisements is due TO the improve
ment in the art Of wood-cutting. Not
only areswood-cuts far less expensive
than steel-engravings, but from a
purely artistic point Of view they pre-
sent many advantages. No design on
metal can compare for sharpness Of
contrast with well-executed and
properly printed wood-cut in strong
and sharply defined contrasts. while
fine gradations Of light and shade are
now possible. which are beyond the
