Wood MOsaics.

Wood mosaics are now manufactured
in purely mechanical way at the Paris
palace of industry. The scale of colors
is extremely rich, there being no less
than twelve thousand different shades
that can be used. This being the case,
the very best paintings of the old mas
ters can be faithfully reproduced. The
great advantage attained in a mosaic
is that should the colors fade they can
be restored to their original hue by
planning, because the fiber of the wood
is thoroughly and evenly permeated by
the colors. These mosaics are durably
affixed to boards, with their colors
beautifully exhibited by placing the
grain of the wood at right angles.-N.
