The exhibition opened in honor of Christopher Columbus at Madrid las just received two Of its most interesting exhibits, and the lender has been the Vatican. They are geographical maps of very early date and of extreme rarity. One drawn in the lifetime of Alexander VI shows the chart of the world as it was believed to exist at the commence. ment of the Sixteenth century. A line the drawing of which B traditiOnally ascribed to Alexander himself, defines the limits of the spanish possessions in America, and separates them from those of Portugal
 The second map--less ancient than the first-has greater historical value as the precise date is not left to con lecture. An inscription in Spanish an nounces that 1t is the handiworl1 os tho cosInographer of the king of Sp3in, who prepared it by command of the king at Seville in the year l520, and under it is the rather naive announcement, not that it is q map of the world, but map of so much of the world as had been dis covered up to that date.

A historian h,s it that as oarlyas four before Christ these metal lnir- TOTS were ia such common use among the Romans that any maid servant could have as many as she could hang Ut her girdle, which probably accounts for the fact that they gradually fell into desue- tude among ladies of tho higher classes and led to the introduction of suhsti- tutes. lt is hardly to be supposed, how ever, that 1t was thisfact which induced some ingenious person so to cut and bur nish the inside of drinking cups as to re- fleet the face oi the drinlCer many times in highly warning manner.
 In addition to the small hand mirrors which it used to be the particular duty of some unfortunate young slave ohold before her mistress, there were panelsof stone set in tho walls and so highly pol ished as to serve as mirrors. ltwas this use of dark stone that first suggested the use of glass for rehecting purposes, which according to Pliny, was first man- ufactured at the glass works of a gen tleman named Sidon Black gluss was first used; afterward clear glass with black foil on the back replaced it. Phny tells us all about this, and from thistime on no mention is made of glass mirrors until the Thirteenth century, when a Franciscan monk, Johannes Peckham speaks of mirrors, not only of polished marble and steel, but also of glass COW cred with lead on the back.
 By this time the alnalgam used ip making glass mirrors was much like thatof today, the difference being in the method of ils application. The process was to spread tinfoil on plain surface, to pour mercury over that and rub the two together with the hand or with a hage's foot The amalgam thus formed was then covered with paper, over which glass was laid Tho paper was then withdrawn and wei ghts pressed on the glass. pressing out the excess of mer- cuiy.-New Yorl, World

 All now is chaugod-they meet their one time worshiper5 on the public thor oughfares and a cool nod is all that in- dicates that the fair ones recognize their existence. Sometimes this ceases when a real man is promenadiug with the fclIle summer goddess, and little boys are looked upon as good enough when there was no one else to practice upon. but nuisances when there are actually three or four genuine men topayGll homage to the heartless maidens.
