SHELLS FOR CAMEOS.
Those Which Are Preferred far the
Purpose

Those which Are Preferred for the
Purpose
For cameo cutting various kinds Of
shells are used There arc the bulbs
mouth tCsssis Rufa), which has n red
inner coat, or what is known as
q sartionyx ground; the black helmet
has sc-calied onyx ground. and which
shows up white ON a dark claret color;
the horned helmet (Ca<xis oornutsl.
white on an orange yellow ground. and
the queen conch tStronbus gig2s), with
a pink ground. The latter shell. szys
tho Jewellers Weekly, is about ten
inches long. with a rose-colored sper-
ture and an extremely broadslip round
ed above.
The bulls mouth and the black he'll
met are the best shells, for the horned
helmet is apt 20 separate from the
ground, or 10 double" as the French
worlkmen express 1t. The queen conch
seldom has the two colors distinctly
marked from each other, and the pink
of the ground fades on exposure 10
light. Tho red color of the bulls
mouth extends hut shor. distance
within the mouth of the shell, and be-
comes paler as IL proceeds inward:
hence this shell affords only a single
cameo large enough for a brooch and
several small pieces for shirt studs.
while the black helmet furnishes on an
average about fve brooches and several
stud pieces. The queen conch yields
only a single piece.
Cassis flanmca. which is about ak
inches long. G. decussats and c. tohe-
rosa. which are white upon q Ozark
clarct color. are also occasionally used.
The bulls mouth shells are derived from
India and cevlon. and the black he'll
meta and queen oopches from the West
Indies

Floater in the Lake.

CHICAGO, April l9.-The mutilated
body of an unknown mulatto woman
was taken from the lake at the foot of
Peck court by the life-saving crew to-
day. There was no clothing on the
body and nothing but an old shawl was
found by which the woman might be
identified. The lower limbs had been
torn or cut OH below the knees and
there were several gashes on the sides
and abdomen that gave rise To the sus-
picion that Jack the Ripper" had
been at work.

Remains Of Some Unfortunate Unearthe5
Buried with His Boots On.
CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa, April H.
While engaged IN excavating earth Ia
the eastern part of the city today.
workmen came upon rude box con-
taining the skeleton of a man. Upon
the head rested large slouch hat, and
other portions OF clothing were also in
the box.
The place has never been used as a
burial ground, aud owing to the fact
that the man had been buried IN his
old clothes leads to the belief that he
had met with foul play. There was
not a yestige of anything discovered
that could lead to ms identification.
From the condition of the bones II is
presumed the body has been buried
about thirty years.

there is absolutely no news from the
seat OF war IN johnson county. If
Colonel Vanhorne and party are en-

they are having anything but pleas

Cheyenne state that Governor Barber
has rot slept for moment during the

alarmed. The events of the past ten
days, coupled with the inability to
communicate with the scene of
trouble, through failure of the tele-

Dos. IN nIa l.nrIL.n churehe..

Ono Of the most singular features
of the older churches in England and
western Europe is the presence in
the walls of large numbers OF jars,
They are imbedded in tho masonry
with he necks turned toward tho in
terror of the church and the mouth
opening into the audience room.
For long time the openings were
supposed to be holes in the walls,
but closer examination number
of years ago on ono or two Of these
old buildings disclosed the fact that
the openings were the necks Of jugs,
and led to no little speculation as to
why they had been placed there.
All old churches-that is to say,
churches erected from the Eleventh
TO tho Seventeenth centuries-have
them, and in some they are present
in great numbers. A church in
Leeds, England, has over fifty, while
thisnumbor is considerably exceeded
in some of the old French churches,
nearly 200 having been counted in
tho cathedral Of AngOuleme, in
France.
The explanation of their presence
is easy, They were placed in the
wall with Il Wow TO lettering the
acoustic properties of the building.
The idea is as old MS Vitruvius, who,
in work on the Roman theater, ad.
vises that earthenware jars be placed
in the walls for the purpose Of in.
creasing the resonance Of the build,
ing. In several Roman structures
such jugs have been found, used in
the way afterward adopted by the
architects of the Middle Ages, As
to the efficacy of the advice, its en-.
ployment is open to question, Fol
increasing the acoustic properties Of
the rooms the jugs arc probably use
less, but no one can certainly say
that they are so until the experiment
has been tried of constructing tive
rooms, with jugs in the walls Of one
