How Dresden China Is Made.

Dresden china began its reign at the fair
of Leipsic, 1921, where it was offered for
public sale for the first time. 1t has had
three periods-King's Marcoline and mod
ern-and for all around use it continues to
be the most popular ware of this day.
The factory marks traced on the bottom
of each piece vary according to the period
the oldest (king's) being the monogram
a. r. and the wand of Esculapius. The
familiar crossed swords, with the dot or
circle between the handles, were first used
in 1921, and the star took the place of the
dot in the Marcoline period. The modern
mark is the simple crossed swords, som -
times accompanied by letters and num-
bers.
Although the methods of work are still
jealousy guarded in all factories, the es-
Sentials are an open secret, and the follow
ing rough outline may satisfy the lazily
curious: The ingredients of porcelain are
kaolin feldspar, sand and selenite. These
are ground fine and mixed in lime water
The paste is then nodded into forms and
fired in an oven of moderate heat. When
taken out it is in an Opaque state, and is
then dipped in the glaze, which is feldspar
ground fine, with little alkali. 1t is now
subjected to q firing of great heat, which
results in the beautiful polished surface so
familiar the world over.
This second firing is attended with risk,
for if the piece is allowed to remain be-
yond the exact proper moment the whole
melts together and is ruined.-Chicago

Savage Young Pets.

Lieutenant Becker, of the Australian Po-
lar expedition, tells story of sailor who
tried to tame two young white bears not
much bigger than lapdogs, and got so fond
of them that he even took them to bed in
cold weather, till one night his comrades
were awakened by loud shrieks and the
complaint that one of his pets had bitten
two of his toes o fl. An Eskimo pilot, in
commenting on the accident, remarked
that the little brutes can never be trusted
after they have grown stout enough to bite
through mans clothes.
But with that single exception specimens
of every kind of carniverous finals have
been tanned sufficiently to recognize the
authority of their master, and to be do
mesticated, if not handled, with impunity.

Where the Apostles Are Buried.

All that now remains of the apostles Of
Christ are in the following places: Seven

viz, Peter, Philip, James the Less. Jude.
Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon. The
remains of three lie i'll the kingdom of
Naples-Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at
Amalfi and Thomas at Ortona. One,
James the Greater, was buried in Spain, at
St. Jago de CompOstella. OF the exact
whereabouts of the remains of St. John
the Evangelist there is much dispute
Mark and Luke are buried in Italy, the
former at Venice and the latter at Padua.
St. Pauls remains are also believed to be
in Italy. Peter is buried in Rome, in the
church which bears his name; So too are
Simon and Jude. James the Lesser is

Remarkable Hypnotism.

/ went to Vienna some wears ago to
study and saw some wonderful things
done by the professor who lectured on hyp-
not.sm. One of the most remarks able ex-
amples of hypnotic effect, and one of which
but little is known, is the connection of
ideas between the hypnotic state and the
normal condition.
For instance, saw young German girl
hypnotized. Toward the close of the ex-
pertinent the professor told the girl that
in half an hour he wanted her to strike
the tallest man in the room with glass
rod, and that she must get the watch of
DR.. -, one of the assistants, without
fail. In few moments the girl was re-
stored to her normal state and asked us q
number of questions about what she had
said and done. Then we began to chat on
other matters. Just thirty minutes after
the command of the professor the girl be-
came restless and walked quickly to a
table on which lay glass rod. She then
came and struck me with it sharply sew
eral times. why do you do that, frau
lein?' asked.
ooh, 1 don't know. don't know" she
answered, in a much distressed tone, "but
have to do it; something tells me to do
it." She then went to DIR. - and asked
for his watch. At first he refused to give
it to her, and she became frantic in her
pleading, saying she must have it at once,
and she seized him and tried to take i.
from him. That is but one of many in
stances have seen where commands given
out to a hypnotized person were carried
out later when they We're in normal condi-
ton. Once this same girl did what she
was told a week after the experiment, that
being the time fixed by the professor

Eaus Laid By Different Fowls.

The number OF eggs laid by the diff
ferent kinds OF fowls averages as fol-
lows: The hen is estimated to lay 100
eggs in a year, but instances are known
in which individuals have laid as many
as 1SO during the year. The eggs hatch
in three weeks, aud tie chickens are
ready for market at from six weeks to
three months OF age. The turkey lays
from seventy-fve to 15J eggs year,
aud is capable Of covering and hltching
twenty eggs. Four weeks aie required
for incubation, aud the young are not
sold until mgtured. The duck lays from
100 to 200 eggs year, bat the average
is about the same as that of the hen.
The eggs require four weeks for hatch
ing, and the young ducks may be mar.
keted when three months of age, at
which time they are more than half
grown. The guinea lays about 100 eggs,
aad four weeks are required for incuba-
ton. They are seldom marketed, being
usually consumed on the farm. Tho
eggs are claimed to possess a rich yolk,
and are highly esteemed. The goose
lays about twenty eggs, but at times
they will reach as many as forty. -Four
weeks is about the time for incubation,
or, rather thirty days, cnd the market is
more favorable to geese under ono year.

Ocean study is most interesting,
and surprises Of an astonishing nature
meet one at every step The ocean
is supposed TO average three miles in
depth. If so, and the waters Of the
basin were dried up there would be
a LAYER of salt left 230 feet deep
The ocean, by evaporation, is reduced
In depth every year by fourteen feet.
Much OF this water is carried by the
clouds to the land, where it falls in
showers making the fields fruitful
ind the earth habitable, and then by
streams returning TO the ocean again.
The sun, in its eyaporating process,
lifts no particle Of salt, draws TO the
.louds only the freshest OF water, and
The earth, after -efreshng use, faith
FULLY returns the full measure Of the
waters loaned TO her from tho seas
That is to say, the sum Of the waters
pouring into the ocean from the land
is exactly equal to that water drawn
from the ocean by evaporation that
falls on the land. The sea ia always
giving and ever receiving: it is most
generous, but cnly as the earth is
