The Maxim" of Beads,

Most of the worlds beads are Vene-
tan. In the Island of Murano a thou
sand workmen are devoted to this branch.
The first process is to draw the glass
into tubes of the diameter of the pro-
posed bead. For til S purpose the glass
house at Murano has kind of rope
walk gallery $50 feet long By gather
inc different colors from different pots,
and twisting them into one mass, many
combinations of colors are made. The
tubes are carefully sorted by diameters,
and Clipped into fragments of uniform
size. These pieces are stirred in a MKT
ure of sand and ashes which fills the
holes and prevents the sides from closing
together when they are heated. They
are next placed in kind Of frying
pan, and constantly stirred over fire
until the edges are rounded into glob-
ular form. When cool they are shaken
in one set of sleeves until the ashes are
separated, and in anot her series of sleeves
until they are perfectly sorted by sizes.
Then they are threaded by childen, tied
in bundles, and exported to the ends of
the earth.
France has long produced the pearl
beads, " which in the finer forms are
close limitations of pearls They are
said to have been invented by Nj. Joaquin
in 1866. The common variety threaded
for ornament is blown from glass tubes.
An expert workman can blow 5000 or
5000 globules in day. They are lined
with powdered fish scales and filled with
wax. 1t takes 5000 fish to make a
pound of the scaly essence of pearls.
Until recently the heirs of Joaquin still
carried on large factory of these mock
pearls. The best of them are blown IL
regular, to counterfeit nature, some in
pear shape, others like olives, and they
easily pass for genuine.
Imitation gems formerly employed
the chief attention of the highest arti-
ficers in glass. They are still the chief
idea of ornamental glass in China In
the ancient and middle ages they circu-
lated every where without much danger
Of discovery. and the formulas were
held as precious secrets. Blancourt first
published their composition in 1896
Now they are common property, and
with the growth of science in the past
century an expert knowledge has be-
come widely disseminated, which easily
detects the paste from the real jewel,
particularly as the modern false stones
are less successful copies than the old
glass makers produced. More study is
now given to artificial gems, which are
true gems, being composed of the same
materials as the genuine ones but
manufactured.

THE TOMB OF EVE.

the wonder of the ORIENT is supposed to

measured over 200 feet in height, which
strangely comedies with an account of
our first parents written by a member
of the Trench Academy of Science a
few years ago, who also claimed a height
of over 200 feet for both of the tenants
of the Garden of len.
EYES tomb, which is in a graveyard
surrounded with high white walls, and
which has not been opened for single
interment for over q thousand years, is
the shrine Of thousands of devoted lsh-
maelites, who make pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. 1t IS
hemmed in on all sides by the tombs of
departed shiekhs and other WORTHLESS who
have lived out their days in that region
of scorching sun and burning sands.
Once each year, on June 3, which is,
according to Arabian legends the ami
versary of the death of Abel, the doors
of the temple which forms canopy
over this supposed tomb of our first
mother remain open all night, in spite OF
the keepers efforts to close them.
Terrible cries Of anguish are said to
emit from them, as though the memory
of the first known tragedy still haunted
the remains which blind superstition
believes to be deposited there.

Electrnnlailnr the Dead

The old notion of electroplating the
human body after death crops up now
and again in some form or other. Its
latest development halls from Paris,
where physician wants to introduce
the art of electroplating the dead with
copper. His process is said to consist in
first embalming the body which is to be
preserved, and then placing it in bath
of concentrated solution of nitrate of
silver, from which, having undergone
intermediate operations, it energies the
color of polished silver. A very thin
layer of copper is then deposited on the
features, which are afterward vanished,
the preservation Of the resemblance to
the original being carefully insured
throughout the whole process. The
Partisan doctor has nicely graduated
scale of prices, from $50 to $50 for the
coppering of an infant to 5000 and $500
for grown person. As concession to
the aesthetic tastes of his customers he
adds that the body can be silvered or

Few of Those Issued To-day VIII Be in
Existence Century Hence.
The critics who cavil at the ephem-
eral nature of the Looks that are food
ing the markets of the world NAV find
quality of most of the stories that find
their way into print is unworthy of
preservation. If the great bulk of what
is written is only deserving of passing
attention, passing attention is all that it
is likely TO get in history. The certain
destiny of ninety-nine one-hundredths
of all the books published to-day is
oblivion, and oblivion that will como
about through very homely and ma
terial conditions. There is scarcely y
book issued from the press in this
country that is calculated to stand the
wear and tear of century's usage.
Many will not endure 10 years ham
ding. Not few are ready to go to pieces
after passing through the hands of half
a dozen readers Pretty and tasty as
modern bindings are, almost all of them
are of cloth or paper, and while they
present an extremely artistic APP
pearance, and the books are generally
printed in excellent type, and often on
Il heavy quality of paper, their bindings
are flim5y and will not last. Now and
then some rich book buyer treats all his
books to handsome leather binding,
but the number of bibliolhiles is small,
and the books selected for this honor are
apt to be very cautiously chosen.
1t was different in olden times, when
the number of published books was few,
and people were not wont to write I'M
less they had some special "call" to
literature. A book was precious pos
session then-something wrought out in
deep thought and with strict exercise of
all the mental faculties, not a passing
whm or expression of opinion, tossed
off on the spur of the occasion to amuse
for a day. Printing was a long and
costly process, and binding high art,
like the setting of precious stone. A
hundred years from now, could we be
here to see, we might witness the curious
spectacle of lib aries in which there will
be gap of hundred years or more.
The old leather bindings of past centuries
were made for all time, and will be as
sound and beautiful several hundred
Yeas hence as they are now, but out of
the present epoch of enormous literary
now and then preserved. The froth AMI
foam of Intellectual activity which so
worry the critics will have passed out
of existence, like the fashion of an hour.

Adolph Sutro is trying the experiment
of raising cinchona trees at his grounds
above tho Cliff house. 1t is from the
bark Of about a dozen varieties of this
tree that quinine is extracted, and if
they will thrive in this climate the trees
will become very valuable.
Moreover, the chinchona is a very
snowy tree and highly ornamental, some
of them growing to a height of eighty
feet. The enormous medicinal consump-
ton of the bark of the cinchona has
caused the tree to be extensively cult
waited in India and Java. 1t grows in
high attitudes in New Grenada, Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia, where there is a great
deal of moisture. 1t has been tried with
success in Australia, near the ~seacoast,
and Nj. Sutro thinks some of the varie-
ties will grow here, where there is a
moisture in the atmosphere all the year

A somewhat singular outcome of the
necessities of certain conditions of cleo
trio traction has just made its appear
ance. In frosty weather the firm con
tact between the trolley wheel and the
wire Of an electric railroad is interfered
with seriously by reformation of a coat
of ice on the wire, and the weight of the
wire is thus so increased as to initiate
against the safety of the overhead work.
To overcome this difficulty an ap-
paratus has been designed for greasing
the wire, and thus preventing the I'D
hesion of any considerable amount OF
moisture. A frame is made to support
a pan. Inside the receptacle is a wheel
or roller for taking up the grease and
spreading it on the conductor. This
grooved wheel is made of wood or hard
rubber, and is covered with thick felt.
so as to be perfectly adapted to carry up
and smear upon the wire the contents of
the pan. Where n semi-liquid substance
is used for coating the conductor an end

grease.-PhilRdelphia Record.
