The list Of choisest colors used in the arts.
here given, was formulated By American
Druggist;
The cochineal insects furnish a great many
of the very fine colors. Among them are car
mine, crimson, scarlet carmine and purple
lakes. The cuttleiish gives the sepia. It is
the inky fluid which the fish discharges In
order to render the water Opaque when at
tackled Indian yellow comes from the camel
Ivory chips produce the ivory black and bone
black. Prussian blue is made by fusing
horses hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure potassium carbonate This color
was discovered accidentally. Various lakes
are derived from roots, banks and gums
Blue black comes from the charcoal Of the
vine stalk. Lamp black is SCOT from certain
reslnous substances. Turkey red is made from
the madden plant which grows In Hindostan.
The yellow sap of a tree of Siam produces
gamboge; the natives catch the sap in cocoa
nut shells. Raw sienna is the natural earth
from the neighborhOod of Sienna, Italy. Raw
lumber is also an earth found near Umbria
and burnt. India ink is made from burnt
camphor The Chinese are the only manu-
faeturers of this ink, and they will not reveal
the secret Of its manufacture. Mastic is
made from the gum of the mastic tree. which
grows in the Grecian archipelago. Blister is
the SCOT Of wood ashes. Very little real Ill
tramarine is found in the market. 1t is OBJ
tanned from the precious lapis azuli, and
commands fabulous price. Chinese white
is zinc, scarlet is iodide of mercury, and ma
tive yermilion is from the quicksilver ore

An Ancient Idea Rsntea.

An unusual amount Of nonsense under the
guise of scientific discovery is inflicted on the
public. To begin with, says Popular Science
News, the old familiar absurdity Of burning
water has been resurrected, and leading
technical journal gives considerable space to
the description of an invention by which wa
ter is TO be ASSOCIATED into its elementary
gases, and these gases to be burned, thus pro-
ducing an oxyhydrogen fame at a small cost.
This ancient idea has been refuted so many
times that it would seem almost unnecessary
to say that the process is a mathematical inn
possibility, and that exactly as much heat
will be absorbed in dissociating the atoms of
hydrogen and oxygen in the water as will be
produced by their subsequent combustion.

The question "Bow fast can a locomotive
runF has been good deal discussed recently
in the engineering papers. The conclusion
appears to be that there is no authentic record
of any speed above eighty miles an hour.
That speed was obtained many years ago by
Bristol and Exeter tank engine with nine
foot driving wheels-a long extinct species
down steep bank. But it hes, apparently,
never been beaten. it is, indeed; not a little
strange how sharply the line appears to have
been drawn at eighty miles an hour. Records
Of seventy-dve miles an hour are as plenty
as blaekberries. Records Of eighty are ex-
eeedingly rare. Records OF any greater
speed have way OF erumhling beneath the

b. talking with sea captains have heard,
also, that sometimes ships come to this calam
ity by the sudden swoop Of a tempest. For
instance, a vessel is sailing along in the East
Indies, and there is not a single cloud on the
sky. hut suddenly the breeze freshens, and
there are swift feet on the ratlines, and the
cry Isl "Way, haul away there" But before
they can square the boonls and tarpaulin the
hatchways the vessel is grooming and creak-
ing in the grip Of a tornado, and falls over
into the trough Of the sea, and broadside it
rolls on to the beach and keels over, leaving
the crew to struggle in the merciless surf.
