For Copying Drawings.

a new method of copying drawings
which may be found of service in
architects Offices, is given in the
Deutsches Baumgewerbes Blatt. Any
kind of Opaque drawing paper in or
binary use may be employed for this
purpose, stretched In the usual way
over the drawing to be copied or trac-
ed Then, by the aid of cotton pad,
the paper is soaked with benzine. The
pad causes the benzine to enter the
pores of the paper, rendering the lat
ter more transparent than the finest
tracing paper. The most delicate lines
and tnts show the paper so treated,
and may be copied with the greatest
ease, for pencil, India ink or water
colors take equally well on the benzin-
lied surface. The paper is neither
creased nor torn, remaining whole
and supple. Indeed, pencil and water
color tinting last better upon paper
treated in this way than on any other
kind of tracing paper. the former be-
ing rather difficult to remove by rub
Der. When large drawings are to be
dealt with, the benzine treatment is
only applied to parts at time, thus
keeping pace with the rapidity of ad-
vancement with the work When the
copy is completed the benzine evapor.
ates and the paper resumes its original
white and Opaque appearance without
betraYing the fainteSt trace of the ben
zine. If it is desired to fix lead pencil
marks on ordinary drawing or tracing
paper, this may be done by wetting t
with milk and drying In the air

Poison Rings.

In Italy the poison ring was carried
to the perfection of malicious imagin-
ing. The '.anelIo della morte" was
occasionally resorted to as means of
putting an enemy out of the way. A
hollow point in the bezel, worked by
q spring, communicated with the re
ceptacle behind, for the poison, in
such q way that its villainous wearer
could, in giving his adversary hearty
grip of the hand, inhict mortal
scratch. The point was fashioned TO
look like an ornament. So deadly and
enduring was the poison contained in
these rings, that some twenty or more
years ago death was nearly occasioned
by handling one unwittingly. A curio
fancier was turning over gems in a
shop in Paris, when he fell fainting
and was with difficulty restored. II
vas found that he had been wounded
by poison ring.
This instrument of destruction was
also worn in perilous times, in order
that the owner might commit suicide
rather than fall into an enemy
hands Another kind was furnished
at the back with slide, which could
be slipped back by the wearer, who
would drop the poison into the wine
he offered to a hated guest. This kind
was affected by Cesar Borgia, whose
own signet ring bore an Inscription
little suited TO his character ais ce
