The Largest Paintings.

The largest paintings ever produced,
not including panoramic scenes, which
are usually the work OF half dozen or
more persons, was that male by Jacopa
Lobusti, Sixteenth Century artist, born
in Venice, and pupil Of Titan. Par
adise,' the name given this monster
painting, gives the reader good idea OF
the picture Itself it being representa-
ton Of the Garden of Eden, showing
Adam aud Eve, tle animals, trees, ser.
peut, etc. It's Do1 in the Sraai salon
of the Doges of Venice, and ia eighty
four feet long and thirty.four feet wide.
In ceiling decorations that in the Sistine
Chapel OF the Vatican exceeds all Others
in point OF ma 5nitude, being l33 feet
square. Like Robasti's great WORK, this
too, is Bible scene, or rstLer an illus
trotion of a Bible theme, it represents
the creation and the fall Of man an the
early history OF the world, with refer
ence to mans chances for redemption
aud final salvation. James Tdornhilp5

hall OF the Greenwich Hospital, London,
is also reckoned among the gigantic
paintings of the world. the hospital
was founded by William III. aud Queen
Mary. The painting is a representation

as the age in which the great painter

The Languages OF ths World.

Some interesting statistics have been
compiled by Frenchman respecting the
different languages spoken in various
parts of the world. He states that the
language in which Shakespeare and Mil
ton wrote was then that of less than six
millions human beings. French was
the mother tongue of at least thirty mil.
lion people at a time when English was
spoken by less than sixteen million, and
$4,000, 900 of French speaking people
were living when the Revolution broke
out in 1889. Between forty aud 6fty
years the English language equalled the
German in the number OF those who
spoke it, and now the latter is left far
behind. German is now spoken by 10,
900, 900 in the Austro- Hungarian en-.
pire, by 46, 900, 800 in the German EN-.
pire, by 1900, 900 in Belgium, and By
about 1000, 900 in Switzerland. German
is also spoken by about 2,0OO,O 900 per.
sons in the United States and Canada,
giving total Of sbont $4,000, 900 who
use the German language. French is
spoken by the 3S, 900, 600 inhabitants Of
France, by $500, 900 people in Belgium,

Wonders of Engray.n7.

II ia now known that precious ano
sami.,rec,ous stones were engraved with
all the delicacy Of modern flaIree work
as long ago as the time Of Horace, cen
turies before emery powder, wheel and
lathe were known. In more modern
times, and with the tools and appliances
which civilization naturally places in the
artisans hands, engravers have per
formed wonders, even going to the ex'
tent of carving relief pictures on the
hardest of all mineral substances, the
diamond. The first artist to engrave a
diamond was Jscomo da Trezzo in 1867
the earliest instance Of any kind OF an
engraved gem is the emerald signet ring
of Polycrates, 74O B. C. In the time
of Francis l., MatteO del Nassaro, an
Austrian citizen Of Italian parentsge,
cut his famous "Crucifxion' upon
heletrope, the lines conforming Win ths
red spots aud speckS in Such manner
as to make it appear that they were
drops Of blood issuing from the mortal
wounds of the Saviour Of the human
race. The lather or Pythagora' was a
celebrated eugraVer OF gems; and, ac-
cordiug to classical history, both Helen
and Ulysses wore engraved rings. En-
craving on semi-precicus stones, as al
ready mentioned, was an art at a very
remote age. The British Museum proud.
ly boasts the possession OF small square
o: yellow jasper bearing the figure oil
horse aud the name aud titles OF Ameno-

the year 145O B. c. The very finest

The American Snow Plant.

The most remarkable plant found
growing in the United States is tina:
'rsyile and paradoxica wonder, the
'snow plant" OF the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. It is known to the bo.anct
Is s,rcOdes sanguinea, meaning "blooiy
,r blooded flesh" Nothing in the plGrt
inc was ever more exquisitely beautiful
han this rosy snow tinted botanical
)ddity, which has been likened to
crowned hyacinth. It grows to
aeight Of from eight to twedty inches,
zach separate bract, sepsl and miniature
bell being frosted as delicstely as though
lone by the Ice king himself. Although
;he whole translucent spike is flushed
with rose and carmine, the petals are
the richest and most brilliant parts OF
she flower, which is i've parted, each
open bell plainly disclosing the little
frosted stsmens and pistiIs. The Lo1g
expedition, one OF wlose members was
the original discover Of Sarcodes, found
one or two specimens OF the plant bear
ing eight perfect flowers, one OF chem
having a ia.ss bulb twenty or more
inches in diameter, shaped like .
pineapple, and as brittle as spun glass.
Although thi, pseudo bulb was hari
to the touch, it dried up iu few days
until it was no larger than the odd.look-
ing icicle-like stem upoa which it grew.
Floriculturists Of the PIciic Slope have
made many unsuccessful attempts to
cultivate the snow plan, the bulbs be-
ing 100 brittle to stand tralspIantIug
and the seeds refusing to grow. Botan-
lists once gave it as their opinion that
the plant would not survive below the
line Of perpetual snow, but this idea has
lately been proven erroneous. One
thing is certain, however, 1t makes its
carly growth while covered with many
feet of snow, blooming as soon IS the
icy covering is penetrated.-Nsw York
