France and got five expert workmen
from the Gobelin works to come to
America and work at their trade here.
Under their direction three looms were
built exactly like those in the Gobelin
works A large stock of silk of all
imaginable shades made in this
country was purchased, artists were
set to work making designs, and every
thing was in readiness to begin the
work of tapestry making.
When you once know how to do it,
tapestry making is one of the simplest
things in the world. An oil painting
is made of the design that is to be
carried out. 1t is placed under the
cottcr threads which vun across the
loom, arc ;nen copied in silk threads.
IL the deSgl contains a human figure
or any object that requires delicate
shading. an expert weaver can copy
two or three square inches day. The
work is to great degree mechanical,
but it requires good eye for colors
even to the finest shades of difference.
The first piece of figure work that
was made took four months. 1t was
about two feet wide and five feet long,
and represented a woman holding
flowers ahoft. 1t is said by experts to
be as fine piece of work of its kind
as was ever made in the Gobelin
works. Baumgarten has arranged
with an orphan asylum to take some
of the older boys as apprentices and
teach them how to weave tapestry 1t
takes from one year to eighteen
months to learn it sufficiently well to
be able to copy designs As soon as
these apprentices have advanced far

Silent MachinerY.

A serious objection to the system
Of silent machinery running, as
proposed recently by an Aus
trian manufacturer, consists, as
mentioned, in the considerable i'd
ditional expense which the plan in
wolves. The article, which is claimed
to realize the desideratum in question.
consists of cog wheels made of pressed
rawhide, which are intended to work
in conjunction with wheels of cast
iron, steel and other metals. The
wheels made of this material are found
to possess not only great strength, but
as they require no lubricating, are
very clean in operation, and, it is
claimed, substantially reduce the vi
bration of the machinery in which
they are used. They are supplied
ready made, or in the form of rawhide
disks, to be shaped as may be necessary
for the use intended. These hide
pieces, it is further stated, have to be
supported by a wooden framework,
and, after cutting, the wheel is covered
with shellac solution.

plunged into strong sulphuric acid,
water being afterward added, and the
whole boiled. In about five minutes
the fluid is poured into clean vessel
and made strongly alkaline by satura-
ton with caustic soda, then adding a
few drops of dissolved orchil, and the
mixture is warmed for several min
utes up to a temperature of 1900 +.
Now if only per cent of vegetable
fiber exists in the fabric, the reddish
violet color of the orchil is precipitated,
or, if this takes place only after heat
ing for more than five minutes, the
quantity amounts to less than per
cent; it is absolutely necessary, how
ever, that starch should be removed
carefully from the stuff to be exam
ined, as the presence of that sub
stance vitiates the result. In testing
goods alleged to be silk the result is
attained more easily by plunging the
sample into hydrochloric acid, the
FIBER of silk being very soluble in such
acid, and, if the material contains
wool or cotton, il remains behind.

condensation takes place, causing DIR D
all over the place. But the most ser::-
GUS objection brought against such a
use of steam is the injurious effect it
has on the health of the work people,
and, though nearly all humidifers are
so constructed as to blow steam
through series of large pipes into
sheds, the effect is much the same, and
the temperature is raised to a very
high pitch. AS in all mills the atmos-
phere is excessively dry, impregnated
with dust and small particles of cotton,
and consequently injurious to health,
the system most urgently advocated by
many is the vaporizing of water, which
can be warm in winter and cold in
summer. Dry air causes, of course, ex
cessive evaporation from the body and
affects the breathing organs, as the air
OF the lungs is always saturated with
moisture. consequently moisture in
the air is absolutely necessary to
health. The pleasantest and healthiest
humidity OF the air is found to be
sixty-fve to seventy-fve per cent, and
therefore, when mills contain only
thirty-fve to forty-fve per cent it is
unhealthy.

rear Of the house series of stone steps,
that were cut and LAID there more than
century ago, run down into the
stream.
For many years this house was I'M
tenanted. A year ago a New Yorker
rented it, filled it with queer-looking
implements, the like of which had
never been seen in that neighborhood
before, placed five men at work within
the walls, and set a great sign over the
door: mo Admittance.
For year these men worked there
quietly, making no noise and never ex-
planning to the neighbors that they
were not counterfeiters or alchemists.
A few days ago, however. the secret
leaked out, and its nature and its his
torical Importance are such that it de-
serves to be chronicled as the planting
OF a new industry in the land.
During the year there were woven
by hand in this house the first tapes
tries that ever were made in this coun-
try. Old as the art is in Europe, run
ming back beyond the record of time,
it had never before been introduced
into America. 1t is true that woven
cloth resembling tapestry has been
made by machine in this country be-
fore, but the first piece of tapestry
ever made by hand in the same way
that it is made in the famous Gobelin
works was woven in this old-fashioned
house on the Bronx.
The credit of the enterprise belongs
to Mr.. William Baumgarten of New
York City. For great many years he
has been buying and selling tapestries,
and sending orders abroad for special
designs. Like a true American he
came to the conclusion that the tapes.

Cerlum Salts aud Photography.

The Photographic properties of
cerium salts are beginning to be ap-
preciated and practically applied; that
is, it is found that light, under certain
circumstances, rapidly reduces the
persalus of cerium to the serious condi-
ton, and the reaction may form the
basis of interesting Photographic pro-
cesses, tits thought Gelatinized or
highly sized paper is sensitized by a
solution of ceric sulphate or nitrate,
which colors the paper strongly vel.
low, and, the paper being then exposed
under transparent positive, the ex.
posed parts become bleached by re.
duction to the serious condition. On
now being treated with organic mat
tiers which the ceric compounds can
oxidize into coloring compounds, a
positive image is developed on the
paper. Thus, an acid solution of phe-
mol gives gray print, aniline salts
give green, alpha-napthylamine blue,
amindo-benzoic acid brown. Cerium
papers are more sensitive than iron or
manganese papers.
