AN ARCHITECTS DREAM.

Within my home in bed lay,
had been reading Thackeray.
Some plans had been looking DER;
@ First story, attic, second floor"
And on this night OF which l write,
Whate'er the cause, l saw sight
That never in my life before
dreamed to see, or dreamed l saw.
A rudy dame in costume old,
With lace and ruffies manifold,
Stood fixing me with anxious eye,
While could neither move nor cry.
At:last she spoke: i've lost my way;
must be gone before tits day.
You are the master here, know;
Help me- AS came l. would 60"
Thereat my courage soon returned,
! Ny guests dilemma thus learned;
And whosoe'er this dame might be,
Why had she come to furry met
She said 81 came to see from far.
What your famed Queen Anne Mansions
are.
Lost in this fearful, wondrous house,
What could do but you arousef
sUnseen by all thought TO be,
But thus you could not set me free.
b AAhf aAdta nnNf 4 All hOb nNAls
Oh, lead me hence, unloose this spell"
I Quick drawing screen about the bed
And, budding on some clothes led
My stranger guest upstairs and down-
And could 1t be / saw her frowni
MY stairs are always a surprise,
Twenty-inch ''treads," four inches 'rise,"
"Thirty-eight steps we've iourneyed DER,
1 think" she said, ito reach this floor.
"'Tis well the stories are not high"
Much quainter So" did reply;
" My head room is little low"
She gave quick, asserting bow.
The second story is my pride
Rough cast and gilded work inside,
Lincrusta tiles around the doors,
Brol1en-green- bottle inlaid floors.
And yet no word she spoke, but trod
AS one who's charmed by magic rods
And when our ''gas log fire blazed,
And the electric light, she stood amazed.
Then was sure her speech must come,
But when it did was struck dumb.
For my aesthetic house such words
Words that might turn sweet milk TO curds I!
Cried she: 81 loathe holes in a floor,
These pipes and cocks and hidden things,
These binding lights, these startling rings
a. single palace made for show"
Who told her so, I'd like to know
No harmony, nor plan, nor care,
And every thing is everywhere.
Oh, for the age of stone and men
The days OF stout Vanbrugh and Wren;
OF common sense and good red brick
Your gilt and gewgaws make me sick"
At this point could bear no more;
My blood was up, my feelings sore.
q" Madam, this house 70 me is dear
Its architect-myself-st here.
What can you know OF Anne or WrenY'
She turned and shook her head, and then
With whitening smile: Thou wretched
man."
She said, Il am myself Queen Anne"

The rocks are the bones of the Dr.
vine body, the soil is the flesh. the met.
ais are the nerves and veins; the tide.
wind, rain, clouds, frost and dew are all
caused by its respirations, pulsations
and exhalations. Originally the mount.
aims rose to the armament and the seas
covered the mountains to their tops.
At that time there was, in the Divine
body, no life besides the Divine life.
Then the waters subsidized; small herbs
grew, and in the lapse of cycles deyel-
oped into shrubs and trees. As the
body of man, unwashed for years, breeds
vermin, so the mountains, unlaved by
the seas, bred worms and insects
greater creatures developing out OF
lesser. Beetles in the course of ages
became tortoises, earth-worms became
serpents, high-hying insects became
birds, some Of the turtle doves became
pheasants, egrets became cranes, and
wild cats became tigers. The praying
mantis was by degrees transformed into
an ape, and some of the apes became
hairless. A hairless ape made a fire bv
striking crystal upon a rock, and, with
the spark struck out igniting the drv
grass. With the fire they cooked food.

OF PAINT ADULTERATIoNs AGAIN

A few days ago the RECORD UNION
pointed out that white lead is greatly
adulterated. In an Eastern city sixteen
lauded brands were chemically tested, and
not one of them was found to be pure white
lead. A correspondent who is a chemical
expert, writes to the REcoRD-UNIo to
say that it is certainly true that white lead
is much aduiterated, and hence it is that
some painters can so much underbid others,
since the difference in the cost of the pure
and the spurious article is very great, when
the painter by reason of his technical
knowledge can avail of the cheaper article
Sulphate of barium is a common article
used to adulterate this base of good paints
But in that instance there is additional Sc
curity had against fire, since the barium
resists the action Of fire stubbornly. Now
while gypsum (plaster of Paris enters
largely into adulterated white lead, we are
not told how the spurious articles can be
readily detected. Some one will confer a
favor on the public by pointing out some
means of testing lead that any one may
apply without consulting chemist.
We are told also by our correspondent
that there is a greater danger and injury
still than from adulterated white lead, to
wit: in the use of very volatile vehicle
for the spreading of the lead other than
oil and turpentine. Thus, if minera |
naptha, and similar substances, such as
benzine and gasoline, are carried into the
mixture, the painter can make it spread
over very greatly larger surface, and
hence large profits, or small prices
and undertaking. But the consumer
finds that very soon his painted surface
loses its gloss and color, while the infamma-
bility of the surface is greatly increased,
and water in case of fire in the dwelling is
found to have little or no effect in sub
DUNG the flames. Indeed, these volatile
fluids will burn in the midst of water and
despite its application.
1t is asserted that where highly glazed
surfaces are made by paint or by the use
of damar varnish, the infammabilIty is
greatly increased, and the assertion is also
made that fire in a hotel in this city
some years ago, in which there was loss of
life, was vicious fire only because of the
glazed surfaces Of the woodwork, secured
through the use of "damar." The rapid
spread of the fire in the residence of Sec
rotary Whitney in Washington recently,
is accounted for on the same plane. The
use of these volatile liquids in paints
creates large demand for them that re
suits in much storage of the goods, and a.

THE GREAT DISASTER.

The terrible disaster at Louisville, Ken
lucky, and in that vicinity, by which many
lives were lost and great number Of
buildings demolished, shocks the entire
country. 1t was announced in the
REcoRD-UNIoN dispatches on Friday.
The details at the hour of this
writing are too meager to enable us to
estimate correctly the actual loss of life
Enough is known, however, to make it
certain that great storm of wind visited
the central West on Thursday, and that
houses were blown down in all directions
and hundreds of people killed in the ruins.
The storm appears to have had its birth
upon the great plains of the West, gath
cred in intensity as it travelled eastward
and northward, and in the vicinity of
Louisville became a cyclone. The towns
and cities along its route felt it with more
or less OF severity, those suffering most
that were nearest to the point where it
eliminated in cyclone. The sympathy
of the nation will go out to our unfortu-
nate fellow citizens who have suffered BY
this visitation of the elements, and all
assistance that can be rendered will be
extended with that bounteousness and
celebrity that is characteristic of the Amer
lean people. We can hope that in few
days, when the exact facts are ascertained,
the damages will not prove so extensive as
are now reported, and that the loss of life
as now stated, will be found to be exag-
geration.
Since the foregoing was in type advices
have been received showing that, as we
hoped would prove true, the first accounts
of the disaster at Louisville were much
over-colored There was woeful loss of
life, but happily it was not nearly so large
as feared Probably 200 people were
killed by the cyclone in that city, and
several blocks of houses were Frustrated.
1t is very sorrowful as it is and the af-
fieted city will be condoled with by all
the people, but that it is not true that
many hundred of lives were lost is cause
for thankfulness
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-03-29
| consequence the fire danger in towns and

consequence the fire danger in towns and
cities is augmented.
Without that technical information nee
essary to arrivae at the exact facts, we
cannot say how far these uses referred to
go, or to what extent fire risks are in
creased because Of the augmented demand
for the volatile fluids. But under the
charges made it might be well for munich,
pal authorities to examine into the SUBJ
ject and provide precautions equal TO
meeting the increased risk, if any. But
it would seem undeniable that the intro
duction into paints of unusual substances
that render structures more infammable
ought to be prohibited Perhaps the law
already meets the case, but we think that
it does not. There is no reason whatever
why the adulteration Of paint bases should
not be put under the ban of the law as
well as the adulteration of food In the
one case it is the health of the consumer
that the law seeks to protect from knavery,
in the other il is his property. We ought
to be able in this age to guarantee to
every citizen that the article he buys is
what it is represented to be, under pen
atty of punishment for misrepresentation
Another correspondent writes to the
REcoRD-uNIoN TO say that in his Eastern
home he knows of farm that yields to its
owner enormous sums annually from the
heavy white earth, terra aba, that is mined
from deposits on the farm for the sole pur-
pose of adulterating paint bases This is
probably but one instance of many. Ger
tainly the subject is one of such interest as
to engage the attention of the State, with
view to protecting the people against
these fraudulent compounds.

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION

The Press Association of Northern and
Central California will hold its semi-an-
nual session in this city, beginning on Mon
day next. 1t is hoped that there will be
full attendance. When the Association
met last September, in annual session,
regular programme was laid out and i'm
portant and valuable papers read and ad-
dresses made. For this session no pro-
gramme has been prepared; this omission
is purposiye, and whatever is done will
be Of an impromptu character.
Since the annual session an Association
of 'Proprietors," outside of cities, has been
formed within the original Association,
and by the advice of the latter, for adver-
Using business purposes only. We under
stand that a fair measure of success has
met the movement, and that it has prom
Use of still greater. The business of that
branch OF the organization is distinct from
the general features and purposes of the
Association, and should be considered apart
from them. 1t is to be hoped that the
hours of the session will be mainly devoted
to consideration Of the ethics of the pro-
fession and to informal consideration of
means to better the organization, to
strengthen it and build up fraternity of
feeling and sentiment that will tend to the
elevation Of newspaper work, and the re-
moval OF such reproaches as may attach to
it. The many press associations at the
East have found that these organizations
are powerful for good in that direction,
and that they result in the establishment
OF code among newspaper men that rem
ders their calling pleasanter, stronger and
more useful to the age.
There is very little if any danger to be
feared from the efforts of this order that
are put forth to dignity and give character
to much abused and misrepresented call
ing nor is there any danger of newspaper
men becoming too well acquainted with
each other, or Of too often counseling
with one another upon the means of adj
vancing to higher standards of excellence
the press of the interior We do not
know of any other profession that is so lit
tie in communion, or the ties between the
members Of which are so weak. In this
age Of unions, there is among the newspa-
per workers a woeful lack of fraternity
and deplorable absence of that esprit du
corps that should characterize a body of
workers for the public good.
Let US hope that at the approaching
session there will develop an earnest in
tent to cultivate closer relations between
California journalists, to the end that the
profession may command among the people
more respect, and among its membership
greater regard for the ethics of gentility,
manliness and the Clearly conduct of the
press.

The authorities in San Francisco have
captured young woman who has been
setting fire to houses, but has eluded arrest
for some time. When al last taken, she
sets up the novel defense that when she
drinks beer she has an irresistible i'm
pulse 10 set houses on FIRE: she therefore
thinks she should be set at liberty as hav-
ing no criminal intent. The law officers
of the city should be irresistibly impelled
TO prosecute, and the Courts and juries 10
convict her, and put her where she cannot
procure the brand of beert that creates ire
sistible incendiary impulses. Punishment
of the class of criminals who claim to
have a mania for their criminal acts will
have a tendency TO put check TO their
activity. They are all cunning enough to

WHY WE SHOULD HAVE INTERNA
TIoNAL COPYRIGHT.

The friends of the international copy
right bill have become alarmed because OF
a rumor that efforts are being made to
array the newspaper press against the
measure, We are inclined to the belief
that it is false alarm. But if the attempt
is made it win not succeed. The news
paper press is as a rule doing its own
thinking, and is jealous OF outside efforts
to control It's expression. The newspaper
men pretty thoroughly understand this
copyright question. They know that the
bill in question extends copyright only to
works printed from type set in this coun-
try, and published simultaneously with the
issue of the work in the foreign country.
