She Tells No Falsehoods. ~ 4.
A prominent Spanish statesman was

ment successfully in her hands in a
country so undermined as Spain by DO
litical intrigue. "The marvel, if marvel
there ebe, was the reply, ''can be ex-
planned in the simplest manner: ,tt
'phe Queen maintains her position
because she is the exact opposite of an
intriguing and conspiring woman. She
tells no falsehoods, has nothing of the
hyrocrite about her, is as simple and
modest as she is honest, and there is no
body in gpain who is not convinced that
she tries to do her best for the country.
The Queens popularity especially with
the women Of Spain-is q real power
which gives her much of the hold which
she has over her subjects. Natural tact,
intelligence and kindness are also among
the weapons by which Queen Christine
maintains her position.
Like your own Queen, the Queen
Regent of Spain has worn mourning
ever since the death of her consort, and
only quito lately has she begun to wear
jewelry on state occasions. In public

King, with whom she takes driycs in
the neighborhood Of Madrid. The
Queens two daughters. aged six and
seven respectively, talk Spanish, French,
German and English fuently, and are
both very strong and healthy looking
children. Since it has become known
that the Queen calls Alphonso XIII.
'Bubi, in memory OF her Austrian home,
Spanish ladies have begun to call their
children by the name, which--ignorant
of its real derivation from bube, boy

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
People In India Knew How to Freeze
Water Centuries Ago.

| ...rI Wbter Oonturlos ago.
The fact that IL is now possible to
supply artificial ice on scale and at a
price suited to the needs of great city
is noteworthy example OF the applica.
tions OF science to the exigencies OF
modern life. The notion once preva.
lent that noxious microbes we're do.
stroyed by congelation, and that nc
danger was incurred by using ice taken
from rivers and ponds known to be con.
taminated by sewage, has long since
been discarded. There is reason to be.
lieve that in the United States, whore
tie consumption Of ice water is inordi.
nntely great, natural ice has been the
medium of propagating notable
amount of disease.
To destroy those microbes, which are
tae germs of typhoid fever and other
dangerous maladies, water should be
hpiled, or, better yet, distilled, before
1. is subjected to the congealing process.
CT course, such precautions are only
possible in the case of artificial ice, and
" the public were once convinced that
TIE manufacturers Of that commodity
were careful to provide such safeguards
against disease, the use of natural ice
gould gradually be abandoned, pro-
eided, that is to say, the artificial prod
sct could be procured as cheaply.
1t is an interesting fact that ice was
artificialiy produced in India long be-
tore the invention of machines for the
purpose. In the upper provinces water
was made to freeze by exposing 1t dur
ing cold nights in porous vessels or bot
ties wrapped in q moistened cloth. In
Rengal shallow pits were dug and filed
nearly full with dry straw, on which
were set fiat, porous pans containing the
water to be congealed. Exposed over
night to cool wind the water evaporat-
ed at the expense of its own heat, and
the consequent cooling took place with
sufficient rapidity to overbalance the in
aux of heat through the cooled air above
or the badly conducting straw below.
Ice made in this way, however, was
costly, and when in 1883 natural ice was
shipped from the United States to CAL
cut.a it was sold for half the price of
the manufactured article. On the other
hand, a machine shown at the Vienna
Exhibition in 1870 made thirty hundred
weight of ice an hour at cost of twen.
ty-five cents hundred-weight, and 1t
is now asserted that ice can be manu-
factured on large scale for less than
81 n ton. ....
There has certainly been wonderful
development of the ice trade since the
pioneer, William Tudor, of Boston,
shipped the first cargo of ice to Mar
Unique in 1905. At one time American
ice was sent to England, but Norway
now monopolizes the ice market of the
Old World. 1t is said that Norwegian
ice is superior in staying powers to
the manufactured product. - Cleveland

BUTTON MANUFACTURE.


eaOW vokothUhB lWJFy ~ IThnoIOrmBO Into
Articles OF Beauty. .t
Vegetable ivory is a nut about the
size OF very large buckeye or horse
chestnut, and grows in q similar manner
on trees. 1t is very solid and white
throughout, and when polished has all
the appearance of ivory. The nuts are
cut into thin slabs Of the thickness OF
the button wished. These slabs are
then put into lathe, where they are
cut by die, patterned one-half for the
face and one for the back, revolving at
q speed Of 1000 revolutions minute.
These halves are SO arranged that as
one half is brought against the slab the
other retreats. The face Of the button
10 always cut first, then the back die Ia
brought up and, its edge meeting the
circular groove made by the face die,
the button drops out. The buttons are
then thoroughly dyed, and, becoming
porous, readily absorb the aniline with
which they are dyed. G
The dyeing process is done scientifi-
cally, but is very simple. If plain
button is desired it is simply plunged
into an aniline bath, but where variety
of colors are to be applied the process
varies. Say 1t is desired to make black
button with red design. The design
Is first stamped upon the white button
with shellac. The button is then
plunged into an aniline bath and all
parts exposed are colored. When dry
it is washed in turpentine to clean off
the shellac, exposing the design in
white. A red dye is then made OF fus-
tic as this has no effect upon aniline.
An aniline can be made of any color,
but as it will destroy any other dye it
must be used only when all parts of the
button which it is not wished to color
are protected by the shellac. Where a
multiplicity of colors is desired they are
applied with sponges, much. in the man.
ner that chrome lithograph is made.
The ground color is made of fustic and
the others of aniline. The sponge is
cut into the design wished for a certain
color and another sponge for another,
etc., deftness being required to apply
the colors accurately ''
After being dyed the buttons are
dried, rolled and polished on spindles.
AS practically no strength is required,
and girls are more skillful with their
fingers than men, most of the buttons
are made by girls A good hand can
make as many as fifty gross day.
When it comes to drilling the eyes, 1870
to $50 gross day can be handled by one
girl The holes are always drilled from
the face back. The drill used for this
consists of four shafts revolving very
rapidly and independently of one an
other. They are very fine and pass
through guard just before touching
the button.
The delicate designs so popular this
summer are stamped with steel die
with the desired design engraved upon
it. The ivory is soaked before being
stamped. The wholesale price of this
vegetable is about two cents a pound, so
that the buttons do not cost much to the
producer. pai
Most of the buttons used here are
from Vienna, and some are worth as
much as $40 per gross. When button
goes out of style it is dead article and
can not be forced on the market.-Cin-
