At the British embassy to the king of
Italy q calculation was made some time
ago Of the amount Of gold brought by
travellers into Italy every year. BY far
the largest lumber Of these travellers
come from England and the United
States. The calculations made it evident
that no less than eco, 900, 900, or 800. .
00C, 900, are brought into this country
and left here by these travellers. In the
scantiest years that sum has not been
less than e14,000, 900, while ON other
occasions it has risen to GEE 900, 900.
Mr.. Stamer, writer on Italy, relates
that an old woman in Sorrento once told
him that the people in England had no
sun, because the English had told her
time and again that it was not for So
ciety they had come to Italy, but to see
the sun. Besides all the English were
fair and ruddy. If they had had sun,
why were they not all sunburnty II they

A MODERN NAVAL BATTLE.
The Spectacle Is n Grand One and the Ex-
pertence Thrilling.

A layman has no conception Of the
awful nature Of battle in modern naval
vessels Even the cruisers have steel
sides, and the air Of the incloscd spaces
is very confined. The din made by the
impact Of heavy projectile against
these metal sides is awful beyond de-
scription. I wore cotton in my ears, but
in spite Of that, am still deaf from that
cause. The engineers in the Chen Yuen
stuck to their work even when the tenn
perature Of the engine room was above
200 degrees f. The skin Of their hands
and arms was actually roasted off, and
every man was blinded for life, the sight
being actually scared out.
Late in the action, after my hair had
been burned off and my eyes so impaired
by injected blood that could only see
out of one Of them, and then only by
lifting the lid with my fingers, was
desirous Of seeing how the enemy was
delivering his fire. As groped my way
around the protected deck hundred
pound she'll pierced the armor about 1S
inches in front Of my hand In a second
my hand touching the steel was so
burned that part Of tho skin was left
upon the armor. That shows how in-
tense is the heat engendered by the inn
pact of n shot and how rapidly the steel
conducts that heat
One she'll struck an open gun shield
Of the Chen-Yuen early in the action,
and glancing thence passed through the
open port. Seven gunners were killed
and 10 wounded by that shot. Early in
the fight the maxim gun in our foretop
was silenced. The holes pierced by
shell could be seen from the deck. Aft
er the fight we found the officer and men
on duty there all dead and frightfully
mangled. That one shell had wrought
the havoc.
The detonations of the heavy cannon
and the impact Of hostile projectiles
produce conclusions that actually rend
the clothing off. The Chinese soldiers
deserve all credit for their courage and
obedience in that action. No duty was
too difficult or dangerous. When the
Chen n-Yuen's forecastle was ablaze from
Jap shells, I ordered several officers to
cross the shell swept place to fight the
fire. They shirked that duty, but when
called upon the men to volunteer to
follow me they did it promptly, and the
ship was saved. 1t was while on this
duty that she'll passing between my
legs threw me aloft and lst me down
upon the deck with such Whence that l
became unconscious and was out Of the
fight. All of the officers, however, were
not towards. On my ship were several
who had been educated in this country,
and they We're as brave and devoted as
men could be- Others, however, were in
the safest place they could find amid

"vENUS" ANo "VlcTORY.n
Now These Treasures of the Louvre I'm
pressed an American Woman.

A New York woman, an art lover, is
spending her first season in Paris, and
how some OF the old world art is seen
through her new world eyes she tells in
recent letter:
"To the new world conner among the
art treasures Of this part Of the old
world, it is the marbles rather than the
paintings to which the soul responds.
With the first headless muse, whose flash
still throbs after hundreds of years
through the draperied masses Of her thin
Grecian robe, is established bond which
strengthens with almost every step
through the marble lined Galerie Of the
Palais du Louvre. 1t is bond that
grows with the freedom and promise of
the Winged Victory and the fulfillment
Of the Venus of Milo
mo statue in all the world perhaps
stands so irresistibly for the message Of
womanhood as does this Venus. From
her beautiful throat, her &obly set head
and her sweet and gracious mouth to her
yielding but perfectly poised body AMI
her firmly set foot she speaks womm--
the love, beauty, honor, sincerity, pro-
lection, fulfillment of true womanhood.
As you look through a long vista of
marble set halls and for the first time
see the Venus awaiting you at the end
with her calm, hopeful smile, and rs
she draws nearer, until you have come
to the salon reserved in simple entirety
for her breathing self, you know that
she has been waiting for you through
the centuries, and that to see her is why
you have come all across the miles of
sea and land.
She breathes and smiles as you look
Mt her, and her eyes that have been toll
ing their secret for ages look into yours
and bid you read. They tell you that
the hand of her fashioner, some young,
hopeful enthusiast, some inspired master
of his loved art, put, all unbnowing per-
haps, his very heart into this master ere
alton Of early Greece and of the whole
world. What matters though he be un-
known? To see the Venus is to know
that he has not lived in vain since it is
his heart, speaking through time and
the half century that she has dwelt
among us, that has won the homage of
every one coming under her spell.
From one of the grand staircases of
the Louvre, where she is set as its
crown, the Winged Victory filings her
message of promisc-the promise Of
which this age is coming to be the fore
runner As you come face to face with
the glorious and sweeping lines of this
noble figure you are conscious that it is
she who has set the keynote Of the times
which are among us, the keynote of per
sonal liberty. AS the Venus stands for
the fullness Of life, the Victory stands
now, as she did even in her centuries
before the Christ for the very breath Of
the liberty Of effort which shall lead to
fulillment. She bids you hope and
strive; the Venus whispers of peace mt
the end. New York Times.

WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
How II Is Manufactured and Some OF ITS
Pcculiarities.

The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
AS yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten by hand.
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about threc-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each
These ingots are passed between pol
ished steel rollers and flattcned out into
ribbons Of about an eight t-hundredth of
an inch in thickness. The ribbons are
softened by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is inclosed in a double rrachmcnt case
and beaten with 1G pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended TO
inch squares. They are then taken from
the case, and each square is cut into
four pieces The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
skin--a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine Of the ox-made
into piles, inclosed in parchment case
and again beaten, but with hammer of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once moro each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces 2, 400 leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one two-hundred- ed-thousandths Of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain n still greater degree of thin
ness, but not profitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed ON cushion,
blown out fat and carefully cut into
squares ga inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhesions
of the gold, each paper book containing
20 squares or leaves Of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
by superficial measure. Philadelphia

Systematically under the elephants care
and within reach of its trunk, while the
mother went to fetch water or to get
wood or material to cook the family
dinner. No jackal or wolf would be
likely to pick mp and carry off baby
who was thus confided to the care of an
elephant, but most people who have lived
a life in the Jungle know how very pos
sible it is for jackal or wolf to cgrry
off a baby when lying in n hut when the
mothers back is turned
The children thus brought up in the
companionship Of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds of
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see little naked black child
about feet high standing ON the ele-
plants bare back and taking it down to
the water to bathe, shouting all the time
in the most unbecoming terms of native
abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly in obedience to the child's
command, lies down and enjoys him
self, just leaving part of his body, like
a small island, above the water. on
which the small child stands and yells
and yells all the moro if he has several
companions Of his own age, also in
charge of their elephants, all wallowing
in the water arousld him. If the child
slips off his island, the elephants trunk
promptly replaces him in safety. The
little urchins as they grow up become
first mates to mahouts and eventually
arrive at the dignity Of being mahouts

Many people blame tho central sta
tion for the poor light from their mean
descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own. They allow their lamps to be
dirty. 1t has been shown that one days
accumulation of dust on incandescent
bulbs cuts off per cent Of the light, so
the result of a few days neglect can
easily be guessed. As means of remov-
ing to u great extent the frequent COM
plants of poorness of light u central
station recommends the use of n lamp
cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process of dusting the bulbs. To a 3 foot
handle is attached n strong wire frame
work, which carries n number of felt
mittens. BY forcing the frame over each
lamp and giving the handle few turns
the dust ON the glass is removed, leav-
ing the bulb as clean as when it left the
ctory Each cleaner is provided with
set of rubber friction pads that will,
when suitably placed ON the mittens,
remove and replace burned out lamps.
The handle can be extended so as to
reach lamps at any distance. This de-
vice makes the cleaning Of lamps very
quick and easy task. st. Louis Globe

WHY DOGS BARK.
A Writer Affords an Explanation ns Given
to Him by an Indian.

To Him by an Indian.
In writing of the native dogs of Cen
tral America, Frederick Boyle brings
forward theory as to how dogs form
the habit Of barking He was discussing
with an old resident of the country
some traits of the coyote, as the ma
tive wolf is called, but which more near
ly resembles the dog.
Dogs will never go wild so long as
they can find master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never barlls, and only gallops when pur-
sued.
"Why don't these coyotes bark like
other dogs" I asked an old Indian,
pointing to ono I was trying to reclaim.
"And why do they only howl and the
pups grunt?"
His answer was, "He won't learn. ="
"Not Learnt" said /. What do you
mean?"
"No," he replied, mot learn, for if
he We're of an honest breed he would
bark, to try to initiate his master, or,
at all events, the other dogs, but all
barking proceeds from dogs initiating
their masters shout. The master shouts
to drive in cattle to the corral, and the
dog barks also. In fact, the dog initiates
his master when he barks; he tries TO
speak, but cannot.
give this curious observation as the
only attempt l ever heard to account for
the barking Of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except bowling
and snarling, nor, under the best cir
cumstances, will they learn to bark un-
til the third or fourth generation. -
