Where Millions Are Made.

There is gray, severe building tow
ering up from the foot Of Broadway.
There are no signs upon it's walls Its
windows are not lettered. 1t preserves
an air Of mystery. The only outward
clew to the solution of it is the rubber
doormat, for in the intricacies Of its de-
sign one can cipher the letters "S. o.
Co. The building looks toward the
North river and over the vast oil yards
and refneries Of the Kill Won KulL It

A very convenient znucilage, says In.
vention, can be m2de ont of onion juice
by any ono who wishes to use it. A
good sized Spanish onion, after being
boiled Tor short time, will yield, on
being pressed, quite large quantity Of
very adhesive fluid. This is used ex-
tensively In various trades for pastirg
paper on to tin or zinc or even glass, and
the tenacity with which 1t holds would

PICTURES AND EYES.
How to Adjust the Latter to Properly oh.

How to Adjust the Latter TO Properly Oh
serve the Former.
The observer. in order to see picture
20 the best advantage, must adjust his
vision to that of the artist who produced
it. Most of us do this instinctipely. Not
only do we select the best point Of view
from which to observe a picture, but we
recede from the painting until the lights
snd colors blend in just the rigl degree.
In addition to that many instinctiyely
pinch the eyes together, producing thus
momentary astigmatism. such as the
artist had produced in his own eye. and
find the picture thus apparently i'm
proved.
A most useful app lance for viewing
pictures IL the so called stenopaic slit.
This is merely slit one or two MILL
meters in width in a card or thin plate
of brass Simple as this device is but
few persons are aware Of how much it
adds to the effect in viewing paintings,
as it allows the rays of light in only
one meridian to pass through the cornea
of the observer. If he wishes to look at
q painting done by an artist whose
vision is normal, Or nearly SO, the OBJ
server turns the slit around to correspond
with the meridian of his own best vision
If, however, he looks at picture in
which it is desirable to have overlapping
of the retinal images-at one where
the colors must be mixed in the eye, for
example-it is necessary to rotate the
slit to another position, usually at right
angles to the first, and with this cam
vas which before showed too clearly the
blotches of color now becomes blended
into much more perfect whole.
would recommend this simple de-
vice to any one who has not already ex-
pe1imented with it. Thus, by adjusting
cur own personal equation of eyesight
to that of the artist, we literally obtain
his point of view. The colors are height
ened, the daubs blend and new beauties
appear. Instead of seeking, like our
friend mentioned at first, for "the
han6iest way to get out Of this ere
place." we are glad to stay longer to
Gtudy and to. enjoy. Here, as every
where, it is art and science together
that yield the richest result. If science
is allowed to be the interpreter, we may
gain heightened enjoyment Of art and
the artist comforting increase of ap-
preciation -Lncien Howe, h. D.. In

In commercial circles very dull and unsatis

quotations, but the market is decidedly in buy
ers favor, owing to decline of fully &c the
past week for Wheat and unless there is a
speedy reaction. it would seem that Flour must
rule lower, as new Winter Wheat Flours, &C
cording to late advices, will be offered on this
market earlier than fever before. probably by

Spring Wheats has kept prices on steady

Mill-feed shows a drop in values. The weak
