MAKING AN ETCHING.

Ie 70 . Dellcate Undertaking and Reauiroe
. Master Hand.
NO branch Of art within the past few
years has attracted such universal At
tentlon as etching. The art of etching
Is not. as is popularity supposed. . new
invention, but the revival OF an art in
which Rembrandt and Albert Durer
exceled. The process by which An
etching Is made il both delicate and
difdcult It is accomplished by coat
ing a copper plate with = preparation
OF wax, upon which the artist traces
with q sharp instrument. called the
needle or point. the lines of his picture.
The plate is then immersed in acid.
which eats into the lines laid
bare by the needle, and the
acid bath is repeated. The
lines when sufficiently bitten are
stopped up with fine French varnish.
This process has been repeated moro
than fifty times in some plates before
the proper effect of light and shade
was obtained. Etching is really .
drawing on . plate, thus giving the
genuine work of the artist as much Of
feet as in an oil painting. It is this
absolute quality of art possessed by
etchings, as distinguished from the
purely mechanical methods of engrav-
ing, which gives to them their value.
The ink used in printing is thick; the
plate is warmed by placing it on .
heated marble slab so that the ink will
flow freely enough to fill up all the
lines. After linking the plate is rubbed
clean, leaving the ink only in the lines,
except where certain effects of light
and shade may be desired. not repre-
sented by the lines. These can be OBJ
tanned by the skill of the printer, who
can produce beautiful effects bv his
manipulation of the ink upon the plate.
There is q great difference in plates
in this respect, some requiring much
more skill to print than others. After
the plate is ready the paper. having
first been dampened. is placed on it
and then covered with felt The press
consists of an iron bed, perfectly true
and level. for the plate to rest on, and
an iron roller which passes over the
plate. exerting great pressure. 50 that
the paper is forced into the lines Of
the plate. After each impression the
plate is cleaned and linked again. and
the same process gone through with.
80 that the printing of etchings can
not be hurried. To insure uniformity.
a sample print is before the printer to
look at This is either printed by the
etcher or superintendent by him. So
great is the skill required to properly
print etchings that less than half q
dozen printers in the country have
won a reputation as being first-class.
ktchings are quite expensive. and
often bring as high as GLOOM r.

THE SECOND WIFE.

Through yonder window draped with lace,
Tho wintry sunbeams fall
And gid anew the frame that holds
Her portrait on the wall
I often stand before It here
And marvel at her grace,
But she is dead and gone TO dust,
And am IN her place.
She leans toward me in her robe
OF gold-embroidered blue,
With eyes that read my very soul
She looks me through and through.
She gathers all the dying day
Upon her milk-white breast
Her red lips part, and seem to say:
"He loved me, loved me oest"
Within the shadowy mirror set
Above the mantel high
I turn and see my pallid face,
No stately dame am l.
My childish form Is slight and small
In gray demurely gowned,
The yellow curls above my brow
With simple ribbon bound
But on the canvas 1t my side
Her royal figure stands,
With pearls about her lily throat,
And roses in her hands.
"Your beauty wins my jealous heart
Sweet lips, my love has pressed.
All, me! do not wonder, dear,
That he should love you best"
Upon the lonely hilltop, crowned
With mournful pines arrow,
Her headstone to the rising moon
Is cleaning from the snow;
And down the long and CHASTITY road
Between his two young brides
The living and the dead-apace
My lover-husband rides.
His steed Is stamping on the stone,
His hand il on the door.
hear the music of his feet
Along tho marble floor;
run to meet his kiss and hide
My face upon his breast
"The Queenly dead-she loves you well,
But shall love you best!"

LUCKY INVENTORS.

Fortunes That Have Becn Realized rom
the Sale Of Trihes.
The rubber tip at the end of lead
pencils has yielded 10000 pounds. A
large fortune has been reaped by q
miner who invented a metal rivet or
eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat
and trousers pockets to resist the strain
caused by the carriage Of pieces of ore
and heavy tools. In a recent legal &C.
ton it transpired in evidence that th
inventor of the metal plates used to
protect soles and heels of boots from
wear sold upward of 12,OOO,0 900 plates
in 1879, and in 1887 the number reached
14S, 00O, 900. producing realized profits
of q quarter of million of money.
Al large q sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being blackened, and a scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth. Free

The initials or a monogram are used to
some extent, but the house address is

Artificial Proposaiion Of the Big Game
Proved 70 He Possible.
The progress of modern fish culture
Is NO more aptly shown than by an ex-
pertinent in the artificial Matching Of
muscalonge which was successfully &C.
complished at Chautauqua Lake last
spring. Although shad and trout have
been hatched in large quantities BY
artificial means, all experiments with
muscalonge had before this been fail.
urea The work was done under
the direction of the New York
State Fish Commission. with the object
OF artiicially propagating the fish and
stocking the lakes in the interior Of the
State with them.
The experiment took place at James
town on the lake, and was commenced
In the latter part of last April. Mr..
jonathan Mason, an assistant at the
Caledonia hatchery, and fish cultur-
ist OF many years experience. was dis
patched by Mr.. Seth Green on April
%. He at once commenced operations
at the lake, and was assisted by Mr..
Eleazer Green, q resident of James
town, who has taken great interest in
the artificial propagation Of musca-
longe. A seine was employed to catch
the mature fish. After considerable
difficulty about dozen muscalonge
ranging in weight from six to nine
pounds were caught From q six
pound female about 1900 eggs in good
condition were first obtained, then. on
the following day, 10000 eggs OBJ
tanned from q sixteen-pound female
and 1000 from two other females.
The spawn was placed in Matching
boxes and kept in still water over
night The next day it was taken
across the lake to Southlands creek,
where there was little current. The
temperature of the water ranged from
so to IS deg. most of the time, but fell
az low as As deg. and rose as high as
IS deg. before the experiment was fin
ished. The formation of the fish in
the eggs could be seen on the fifth day.
and the fry commenced Matching on
the eleventh day. On the twelfth day
the eggs Matched rapidly, and by night
it was estimated that 10000 young
muscalonge were Matched.
A number of them were taken to the
Caledonia hatchery, where they were
examined with q microscope daily.
They were three-eighths of an inch in
length when Matched. They showed
NO movement of the gills or signs of
breathing until they were nine days
old, but the heart action and the cir
culation of the blood were seen to be
strong and vigorous. They are help
less little creatures, and lay so quiet
for hours at time that one would
think they were dead. When nine
days old they showed signs of life.
They were then half an inch in length,
and the yelk sack, which is of good
size when they are hstched. was two
thirds absorbed. At fifteen days old
the yelk sack is entirely absorbed and
the fish commence looking for food.
