Sources of Beautiful Colors.

The cochineal insect furnishes u great
many fine colors. Among them are the
gorgeous carmine, crimson, scarlet car
mine and purple lakes. The cuttletish
gives the sepia. 1t is the inky fluid
which the fish discharges in order to
render the water Opaque when attacked.
Indian yellow comes from the camel.
Ivory chips produce the ivory black and
bone black. The exquisite Plussian
blue is made by fusing horses hoofs and
other animal matter with impure potas-
stun carbonate. This color was discov-
cred accidentally. Various lakes are
derived from roots, barks and gums.
Blue-black comes from the charcoal of
the vine stalk. Lampblack is SCOT from
certain resinous substances. Turkey red
is made from the madden plant, which
grows in Hindostan. The yellow sap of
!. tree of Siam produces galnbogc; the
natives catch the sap in cocoanut shells.
Raw Sienna is the natural earth from the
neichborhood OF Sienna, Italy. Raw
lumber is also an earth found near Um-
bria and burnt. India ink is made from
burnt camphor. The Chinese are the
only manufacturers of this ink. NIastic
is made from the gum of the mastic tree,
which grows in the Grecan Archipelago.

Dangerous Weeds.

There are certain weeds and bushes in
pastures which are sup posed to be poison
Gus to animals that eat of them. But
probably none of the weeds are ever
eaten unless dried with the hay, and so
mixed as to make it difficult for the
animal to reject it. Possibly a scarcity
of other food might cause them to be
eaten sometimes. They are nearly all
we'll known, though their dangerous
character may not be, and any old
farmer can point them ont, viz: The
St. John s wort, the wild lobclia, or Indian
tobacco, and the swamp hellebore, or
Indian pokewced. Care should be taken
not to allow them in the hay. The
bushes are the mountain laurel, the sheep
laurel or low laurel, and the andromeds.
They are oil of the same family, and
have resemblance, all being evergreens,
and it is said that sheep aud goats will
browse upon them and kill themselves,
even when they could get grass. This
last statement is rather doubtful, but
they do eat them when pastures ase
scanty, and arc poisoned by them

TIE BICYCLES EvoLUg1o->
Development from the First Butte
wheel Made by q Erenchman.

The first rudimentary bicycle was
mounted by Baron voh Drais, French
man, living in Germany, who early in
this century invented 4 combination of
two wheels, seat and handles, which he
called ''ce!erifere," TO aid him In his
work Of overseeing large estates. The
old cuts OF this odd machine, called after
the inventor, the "Draisine," show it to
be in its general features the direct fore
runner of the hobby horse, "Diaisines"
were introduced in England in 1918, and
year later were seen in America, Oh the
streets Of New York.
In both countries they met with great
favor, and one historian relates tina in
New York "people rode them up and
down the Bowery, and on the parks, q
favorite place for speed being the down
grade from Chatham street to City Hall
Park" Clumsy machines they seem to
our eyes, says the St Nichoias-two
heavy wheels connected by cross bar,
to which was attached midway the cush
Toned seat for the rider. In front of the
seat was a raised cushion, upon which,
handles in hand. the rider rested his fore
arms, guiding the machine He pro-
PEELED it by pushing alternately with his
feet on the ground until the speed was
sufficient to maintain an equilibrium,
when he would raise his feet, and in the
words Of rider to-day, coast"
The rage for these ''Draisines," and
pedestrian curricles," or ''de,ld-
horses" as the latter improved"
machines were called, suosi6ed rapidly
because Of the difficulty of making them
practically useful, and because of the
ridicule always excited by the riders.
This curious sport of riding two
wheels, joined and running in the same
perpendicular plane, therefore langushed
in obscurity until after lapse of more
than forty years it again attracted public
attention in new form. 1t was in 1865
that French mechanic, Pierre Latle-
mant, conceived the notion of attaching
foot-cranks to the front wheel of the old
fashioned hobby-horse. He made q
machine embodying this idea learned to
ride it, and exhibited it At the Paris ex-
+, position in 1867.
The credit for this invention is also
claimed in England for Edward Gilman,
but be the honor due to Frenchman or
Erglishman, here, at all events was the
immediate inventor of the bicycle. It
Immediately became popular in England
and America. A great many changes
1 were necessary, of course, before the
, crude machine Of LaAemant-the 'veloc
| ipcde" of thirty years ago-became the
finished bicycle OF to-day; but energetic
business men in England, and later iu
this country, saw the possibilities and
began the manufacture OF tho machines.

called New Troy Or Troynovs:u5, until

town with walls and named it Caer- Lud

the correct version of the story, il for no
other reason, because it is an easy mat
