CHINA PAINTING.
Suggestions to Beginners-Use Few CoioTs.
Designs In Monochrome.


Designs In Monochrome.
To readers who are about to undertake
china painting and entertain doubts as
to the ultimate success OF the venture the
following directions and suggestions from
Decorator and Furnisher are commended:
Make the experiment. on as small an
outlay for materials as possible. IL Is use
less to purchase full complement OF ma
terials without having in view very CELL
mite determination to continue. therefore
to the beginner we would Suggest very
few colors, Or better still, one, ana WORK
out some design i'll monochrome. ihese
are always pleasing, and many very peau-
tiful results are due to one color wheh
handled skillfully.
This method will afford you some in
sight into the manipulation OF both color
and brushes besides having the additlonai
advantage, if the attempt Is an utter 1ali
ure. of feeling your experience did not cos'
much. Do not hesitate to try with one
color on the idea that it betrays your lg-
norance and independence, that 1t at once
pronounces you to be the tyro you are. IL
is not the fact that you work IN one Color,
but the amount of skill bestowed that en-
phasizcs your proficiency. II one color Is
selected. deep red brown is good and Is, as
IT'S namc indicates deep, rich red tint,
with Int little brown. If this is too pro-
nounced in Tone violet OF iron Is beautl-
fuI somewhat lower than deep red brown
and much softer and rather grayer 1t re-
ouires a much harder fire than the first
mentioned.
If q blue is preferred, procure o color
called deep blue green, which, however, Is
not green at ell, but the most perfect shade
of blue in the whole list of colors. 1t is the
same that forgatmenOts are painted with
and also skies. 1t is equally beautiful
when used delicately and in pale tints or
it's full strength.
Another blue is an old blue or delft
blue, now much the fashion. Its color ap-
proximates that of the delft ware of Hol-
land and the always admired Dutch tiles.
Either of these will produce beautiful
results. The selection is altogether mat
ter of individual taste or fancy, whether
YOU prefer q soft, somewhat pale blue
perfect blue, or the deeper shade. Ii,
however, your desire is to try something
in natural colors, select the spray of flow
ers first and obtain only the necessary col
ors to reproduce it. AS you advance the
rest of the color3 required to make a full
palette may be added from time to time,
and the expense is apparently lightened.
Buy only OF reputable merchant whose
business it is to prepare artists materials.
There are many preparations in the mar
ket that are equally good, one as the other.
Mineral colors are manufactured in Eng
land France, Germany and America and
no one limo possesses any special advantage
over tho other. There may be a difference
in a few colors ewing to some light vari-
ETY. of their respective formul;is.

NAVIGATION WITH BOAT ABOVE WATER.
moments, appears to increase, and he feels
rs if sinking in his scat, just rs bird
would tenl to fall when arrested in full
flight
1t is not very easy in practice to impart
20 a floating vessel, by means of a motor
on board, speed sufficient to lift it fairly
out of the water but this result can be at
tanned indirectly, as was proved by the
following experiment, hitherto unpub-
lished, which dates from as far back as
1876. Tho vessel was rectangular in shane
and driven by four fiat paddle wheels hay
ing their blades slightly inclined from the
horizontal. A bent axle was connected
with the wheels and worked by one or
two mon, who thus propelled the craft
The latter began to rise as soon as the
wheels were set in motion and was actu-
ally sustained above tho water rs long as
these revolved fast enough which they
were easily made to do. The resistance to
the rotary motion was found not to in
crease with tho vessels rate of speed. be-
cause the current thereby occasioned, while
opposing this motion upon ono-half of tho
wheels diameter, was favorable to it on
the other half.
The opinion is expressed that by this
process it might be possible to attain the
highest speed permitted TO man on the
earth's surface. To realize our utmost
anticipations in this regard, it would be
necessary to bring about n composition of
forces between the horizontal speed and
the weight carried--a problem we should
not be afraid to graphic with, according
to De Sanderval in La Nature, as translate
ed by Popular Science News.

HIGH SPEED NAVIGATION.
Motors That Give a Speed Which Fairly
Lifts a Vessel Out of the Water.


A boat in water sinks until the weight
of the fluid it displaces equals its own
weight. To impel it in forward direc-
ton we must overcome the resistance Of
fered by the water to the vertical section
of the immersed portion. If tho boat is
flat bottomed and is driven at sufficient
rate of speed the weight which keeps it
immersed enters into composition with the
impolling force. Consequently the vessel
sinks less deeply or is even lifted so as to
glide upon the water. OF course, the re-
sistance to It's progress is in this way great
~ lessened.
- soon as the propclling force ceases to
ACT, the boat sinks again. This is illus
trated by the sensation railroad traveller
experiences On fast train whose speed is
abruptly slackcned. His weight, at this

a Business View Of The Liquor CUES
tion.

The Christian al Wotk in late
strong editorial refers to the fact
that business men are demanding
sober men and total abstainers
for their work, not only on rail.
roads, but 10 all other depart
ments of labor. 1t says; 1T is
easy to see how the rule as to
strict sobriety may yet be ex
tended to,all departments of the
world of labor. When it comes
to be generally understood that
a man given to even occasional
indulgence in drink has the odds
against him. for this reason, in
obtaining steady and remunera.
tive work. the result must be
large and increasing accessions
to the ranks of the anti.liquor
army. From a purely business
point of view, the liquor traffic
must come to be regarded with
feelings OF determined hostility.
IL is business that lives at the
expense of every other business;
in the proportion that it flourish.
es they must decline. The loss
comes not only because of the
money turned from the channels
of honest trade into the tills of
the liquor saloons, but it comes
in larger and more serious way,
because of the wreckage and ru-
in caused by the liquor habit
among the bodies and souls of
men: because it developes and
promotes idleness, unthrift. shift
lessness, dishonesty disease and
crime. The good customer of
the saloon is a poor one to every.
body else. The more liquor he
buys, the less he buys of the real
necessities of life, and the slower
he is in paying his honest debts.
The liquor traffic is, in truth, the
enemy not only of the home, of
the church, of society, and of
the etate. but it is the enemy of
every legitimate business. The
time is not distant. we hope,
when this truth will be recog-
nized by every man engaged in
honorable and legitimate bust
ness, and a warfare declared all
along the line against the com
mon enemy.
