WHY is IT ouEENswAREs
How the Pottery That We Use Got That
Mama

everybody Knows what queensware is,
put many would be puzzled to tell how
IL came 10 bear that name. The famous
potter, Josiah Wedgwood, was born at
Burslem, England in 1880. He was de-
scended from family identified for gen
erations with the ceramic art, and from
the time he was years old he worked Mt
the potter's wheel, but at the age of 16
ne became lame from severe attack of
illness, anu his lamencss untitled him to
great extent for the manual operations
OF his profession.
He seems to have been lad of much
perseverance, aud at once turned his at.
tention to the artistic development of
pottery making. After years of labor he
had Sufficient capital to engage in bust
ness for himself, and in 1862 began man
u1acturing the ordinary cheap ware then
IN demand. However, he soon made it
more than ordinary ware, for by his care
1ul superintendent and skill it was fin
lshed IN an artistic manner hitherto I'M
known.
Wedgwood kept everlastingly expert
menting upon the fictile material then
in use, and in 1851 he perfected q beauti-
tu! cream colored ware. Specimens of
this were presented to the new queen,
Charlotte, of Mecklenburg, who was so
much pleased with it that she gave wedg-
wood the title of queens potter, and also
permission to give the name "queens.
ware" to his new art product
To Wedgwood's skill we are also in
debted for the beautiful ware which bears
his name" Wedgwood ware This in
cludes variety of very fine stoneware,
usually unglazed. Wedgwood's copy Of
the Portland Vase is one of the most Gel
ebrated specimens of Wedgwood ware.

IRON FOUNDATIONS.

A new way of constructing solid foun-
cations for tall buildings has been tried
with success in Berlin. 1t was necessary
to find II solid base sufficiently strong to
carry Misunderstanding more than TO-
oOo tons. The plot of ground upon which
the building was to stand was adioined
on both sides by high buildings which
rendered unsafe the digging to any depth
Tor foundation The only way out of
the difficulty was the sinking of caisson
IN the center of the plot, upon the ce-
mented top OF which hollow form of
cement was built. In this form molten
iron was poured, filling the space, and
upon this cast iron foundation plate the
understructure of the building now rests,
while the side walls are supported by a
cantilever structure. The full,weipht of
the load upon the cast iron foundation is
estimated ut more than 90, 900 tons.
