Sometimes in an impulse of disgust
he would throw the bottle out of his

was given back to him. AT other times
he would sit with countenance of in

tied sugar, and then, as If pulling him
self together for another effort at solu-
ton, would sternly take'up the problem
afresh and gaze into the bottle.
He would tilt it one way and try to
drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it, try to catch
it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
capture the sugar by surprise, he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in fu-

Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy

Nothing awaited, however, until one
day light was shed upon the problem
by jar containing bananas falling from
the table with crash and the fruit roll

ship contemplated the catastrophe and
reasoned upon it
Lifting the bottle high in his paws, he
brought it down upon the floor with a
tremendous noise, smashing the glass
into fragments, after which he calmly
transferred the sugar to his mouth and
munched it with much satisfaction.

WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
How 1t Is manufactured and Some OF Its

How 1t Is manufactured and Some OF Its
PecuIiarities.
The process by which gold in made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
As vet 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 three-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each
These ingots are passed between pol
ished steel rollers and fiattened out into
ribbons of about an eight-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 double parchment case
and beaten with a 16 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, Enclosed in a parchment case
and again beaten, but with hammer of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more 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- thousandths of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain a still greater degree of thin
ness, but not profitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed on a cushion,
blown out fiat and carefully cut into
squares 81 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 a superficial measure. Philadelphia

Tho growth Of tic E-1-llses school is
one Of the most interest ng developments
Of these modem Intentionally
speaking. II is har - years yet since
the first sumner n was held at
Chautauqua by the Methodists- At first
the attendance was small, and there
were plenty Of persons who disapproved
Of the plan and did not hesitate to say
so. But season after season the attend
ance increased, and season after season
there were greater exhibitions OF that
sincerest sort Of fiattery which men term
imitation. For years now every summer
the attendance at Chautauqua has run
away up into the thousands, while OF
other we'll established summer schools
there are ut least a score and perhaps
more.
1t is significant Of the value Of the
summer school scheme that, although

sects has monopoly of the idea Among
the most important of all the schools,
