In France, when horse reaches
the age uf twenty or thirty, 1t is des-
tined for a chemical factory; IL is first
relieved OF its hair, which is used to
stun cushions and saddles; then II is
skinned; the hoofs serve TO make
combs.
Next the carcase is placed In CYL
In Ter, and cooked by steam at pres
sure OF three atmospheres; cock is
orened, which lets the steam run of;
then the remains are cut up the leg
bones are sold to make knife handles,
etc ,iand the coarscr, the ribs, the
head, etc, are made into animal
black and glue.
The first are calcined Ia cylinders,
and the vapor, when condensed, form
the chief source Of carbonate OF am
monia, which constitutes the base OF
nearly all the ammonical salts.
There Is an animal oil yielded
which makes Il capital insecti eide and
vermifuge.
The bones, to make glue, are dis.
solved in murlatic acid, which takes
the phosphate Of lime away: the soft
element, retaining the shape OF the
bone, is dissolved in boiling water,
cast into squares and dried on nets.
The phosphate Of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid, and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for our
luclfer matches.
The remaining flesh is distilled to
obtain the carbonate OF aminonia;
the resulting mass is pounded up
with potash, then mixed with old
nails and iron OF cverv descriptions;
the whole is calcined and yields mag.
nlticent yellow crystals-prussiate Of
potash. with which tissues are dyed a
Prussian blue and iron transferred
into steel; 1t also forms the cyanide
OF potassium and prussic acid, the
two most terrible poisons known in
chemistry.

blade OF unusual keenness and temper TO
work In the tough and fbrous bamboo.
Around the central portion and near the
kiosk are bazaars for the sale OF mating,
woven bamboo hats, reed instruments, Curl
GUS drums, embroideries, and great variety
of Javanese art work.
The whole village was constructed in Java
on the estates OF the proprietors and shipped
by way Of Hong Kong and San Francisco TO
Chicago. In Java the village would occupy
many acres, but here IN the Plaisance the
beautiful gardens surrounding each house at
home have necessarily been crowded out.
One hundred and twenty-five natives were
brought from the same estates properly TO
represent Javanese life to the Western world.
Fifty tons OF coffee and thirty tons OF tea for
drinking at the kiosk and for Wholesale also
formed part OF the cargo. The owners hope
to familiarize Americans with their products
and to open direct trade relations with the
merchants OF this country. On the island OF
Java the coffee tree begins bearing nt three
years, is mature at seven years, and lives
usually from thirty to forty years, and from
its climate and soil the tree thrives best at an
altitude OF about 1000 feet, when the average
yield is two pounds OF the berries per tree.
Near the kiosk on the north is typical
Javanese village police station. II is
small affair." having room for not more than
two or three persons. In front hangs
gong, in the form OF great red fish, upon
which alarms are given. Leaning against
the station are the implements with which
the culprit Is apprehended, and most un-
comfortable looking implements they are.
They are called tjagak. One, the tjagak
bessi, is OF i-on, shaped like the letter U,
with barbs on the inner side, and the other
Is OF wood in the form ofav This has on
the inside wicked-looking thorns from the
rattan which point backward. Both the
tjaguks are fastened 20 long pools, SO that the
prisoner may be kept Mt a distance when his
neck is in the jaws of this contrivance, and
the long thorns or barbs pointing to the
rear deprive the poor wretch OF any temp
tation to escape by running. However,
there is comparatively little use for jails or
tjagaks in Java now. Occasionally native
gets some opium and has jollihcation, but
crime, especially OF grave character, is un-
common. The people are naturally gentle
and so extremely sensitive that one who has
mastered their language is said to be able 10
punish them much more severely by words
than with stick.
Beyond the police station to the north is
the theatre. This is long building OF tho
same general construction as the others, ex-

cept that II is higher, wider, more elaborate
ly decorated, and generally more preten-
tious piece OF architecture. Its seating ca
pacity is for 1000 or more people, and here
are given Javancse plays OF the present and
former periods. In former times the tale
was unfolded by using marionettes behind
an illuminated screen. One man, called the
dalang, worked them and spoke the differ
ent parts. changing his voice with the char
acters represented, then the screen was
abandoned and dolls were substituted In
which the extravagant and characteristic
profiles were preserved. Afterwards the
several roles were played by persons wear
ing the typical masks and supplying the ap-
propriate gestures, while the dalang from a
concealed position spoke the various parts.
In this form, which is still the common
amusement OF the poor people, the different
characters were known by the masks, the
princes and mobiles wearing white masks,
giants and devils red and brown masks, etc.
In the last evolution the parts are both
spoken and acted by the same person, but
the plot OF the play is taken as Of old from
NEUROLOGICAL tales.
The orchestra of the theatre numbers about
twenty-five, and their music, though quaint
and strange, is not at all bad. The leader
plays two-strlnged violin, or rebab, there
is one wind instrument, the soellng, kind
OF bamboo whistle, several xylophones, some
bonangs, kettle-shaped affair made OF bell
metal, some big gongs OF the same material,
and drums great and small None OF the
sounds are tho discordant, terrible noises Of
the Chinese, but each one Is by itself at least
distinctly musical. In fact, the Javanese are
said to be In music by far the most highly
developed OF any OF the Eastern Nations. For
some music the octave is divided into seven
tones, as for the pelog, and for other music
into five tones, as Tor the salendro. The
Javenese say the salendro sounds like glass
and has manly sound, while the pelog is
more tender and must have a more metallic
"timbre." This orchestra occasionally plays
well-known English and American airs, and
the effect Is very pleasing II somewhat odd.
The dancing by the Javanese girls is a slow
succession OF graceful poses, the best of them
being very Delsartian indeed.
Before one leaves the village he goes to
pay Anal visit to Klaas the orang-outang,
whose large cage is at the corner of the
kiosk. This is certainly an extraordinary
ape, and nearly as clever as old aunt
Sally" who used to be at the London Zoo,
He washes his face and hands, cleans his
teeth eats his porridge with spoon, care
fully peels and eats an orange for dessert,
and then walks on his hind feet about his
house, or takes a little practice on the hor-
izontal bar, but always sedately and with
great dignity. When the weather is q bit
cool, he folds his blanket about him and sits
meditatively looking at his strange visitors,
and perhaps ruminates regretfully upon the
warm days In Java when he could tramp
about the village unrestrained.

After a careful inspection OF the pleasures
offered by the Midway Plaisance perhaps the
majority Of visitors will decide, says q chi
cago correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, that the Javanese Village Is at once
the most unique, refined, and comprehensive
in its scope OF any Mt the Fair. There Is no
sign OF coarseness or vulgarity in either
amusements or customs, and Oriental life is
presented in one OF its most charming phases.
The houses, bazaars, theatre, and kiosk are
n delight to the eye the men, though lack
ing the stature ofthe Saxon, have n sturdy
physique, the little women have lustrous
eyes, sweet faces and gentle ways both are
placid and soft spoken, industrious and ar
tistic.
The village, which covers very considera-
ble area, is surrounded by palisade of split
bamboo and at its western side is n high
arched entrance made Of immense bamboos
decorated with devices in smaller bamboos,
palm leaves and bark. In the centre of the
village and fronting tho entrance is large
kiosk wherc the real Java coffee and tea are
served. Apropos OF real Java coffee and tea,
IL was largely with the idea of letting Ameri-
cans know what the true articles are that this
village has been sent over. AT present COM
paratively little, IL is said. OF our so-callad
Java coffee comes from the island of Java,
but rather from South America. The Java
coffee is very high in the essential oil and less
Is required in making the beverage than
when the South American berry Is used. For
that reason and for its finer flavor the genu-
ine berry commands higher price Most OF
the Java coffee goes to Amsterdam and Rot
terdam, and is distributed from there, while
the greater part OF the tea crop is shipped to
England.
