Co,npressed Air Painting.

Compressed air now threatens to de-
prive the painter of at least part Of his
occupation. 1t is not the painter OF pic
lures who is menaced, but only these
humber claimants of the name whose
energies are applied on broader scale
and who distribute their colors from q
pail instead of from u palette. Several
railroads. including the Atchison, the
Erie, the Illinois Central, the Allegheny
Valley and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
companies have decided that compressed
air, besides driving tools and hoists,
cleaning cushions and performing sew
eral other tasks in carshops for which
hand labor was once considered neces-
sary, can also be made to do the rougher
forms of painting, especially that OF
freight cars The machine used resem-
bles huge atomizer. 1t is connected
with the air supply by a small hose, and
the paint is contained in tank mounted
on truck, from which it is siphoned
by another hose. The paint is thrown in
fine spray upon the surface to be COW
cred and is driven by the force of the
air into the most minute crevices and
under iron and other attachments where
it is difficult to work with a brush. An
ordinary standard "a foot box car can be
painted by this process in from So to DO
minutes, making saving in expense of
about 40 per cent on the average cost of
painting with the brush. -

The v..olr Dog of Irclsnd.

Dublin has sustained serious loss IN
the death Of splenGid specimen OF the
Irish wolf dog Congal was OF the purest
breed of this almost extinct brand OF
dog, and, though the slaughter of the
last Irish wolf 100 years ago might have
been expected to deprive him of his con-
dition ard ferocity rs of his raison
d'etre, he was as fine a beast as any OF
his more fortunately situated ancestors
could have been. 1t is related that the
late Professor Hauchton, a constant Wis
itor to the ZOO, used to say that II he
were walking in the gardens and keep
er told him that the royal Bengal tiger
had broken loose he would answer de-
voutly, Thank God, it is not the Irish
wols dog. '-Westminstcr Gazette.

Rare Embroidery.

Perhaps the most accomplished de-
siener ard needlcwoman in the world is
Nine. st. George who has charge Of
the classes il the government art school
Of embroidery at Vienna. This institu-
ton is the glory of the Austrian CAPT
tai. The entire course of instruction,
which is free, lasts five years, but many
pupils leave after two or three years,
especially ladies who DO not intend to
make art work a profession and are sat
isfied with knowing the rudiments Of
either lace work or art embroidery, for
every year has its special course. Every
years course has its special room and
insuuctress, and the pupils cannot 90
from one to the other until the year cx-
pires. The pupils Of the last year S
course were busily mending a magnifi-
cent canopy, the work Of Empress Ma
ria Theresa An idea may be formed Of
the magnitude Of the task when it is
said that ten girls under Nine. st.
Georges superintendent had been
working at it for ten years already, and
she expected it would take two years
more to completeit Every kind Of en-
broidery, including Persian, Indian,
japanese, Turkish, etc, is done here,
and the visitor is astonished to see
some beautiful samples of the man
duty. or SPIDERS web, made by the
Guarini women Of Paraguay and rarely
seen in Europe. This lace is made of tho
fiber of the aloe and is SO fine that it is
made inside Of the huts, with the door
shut, so that not the least breath Of
wind can touch it.

many patriotic Englishmen are already
preparing celebrations and festivities
designed to show the increase of Eng
lands influence and her progress in
commerce and the mechanical arts since
1887. Great preparations have been
made for the international electrical and
engineering exhibition at Newcastle-on-
Tyne. The progress and development i'll
electrical and other branches Of industry
since 1887 will be illustrated there
Newcastle is we'll chosen for this pur-
pose because not only is it q great con-
ter of manufacturing industry, but 1t is
representative OF many of those interests
which have grown most notably since
1887. Beginning in April, 4 similar
exhibition will be held ut Blackpool.
This exhibition Will he less representa-

Color Photography.

Foreign photographers are still eX-
aiming and discussing with extreme
interest the colored pictures produced
by NJ. Eilledieu- Chassagne. They can
not understand how the results they see
can possibly be attained in the way the
inventor says. and yet, as they have
been allowed to watch the development
OF plates by the new process, they are
equally unwilling TO admit that there
is any trickery in the matter. The latest
description of how the work is done says
that silver print is made from an or
binary negative in the usual way, but
on specially prepared albUmenized pa
per. This print is first covered with a
colorless liquid, which may be called the
mordant. Then three dyes il solution
crimson red, q grass green and deep
blue-are applied one after the other
This has to be done in bright daylight.
The blue dye first takes hold OF those
portions of the surface which represent
monochrome blues il the original. For
Instance, a china vase will take the blue
tint and face or hands q faint amount
OF the same color. The green dye is then
applied, and the greens in the original
make their appearance in the positive,
and so with the red. Finally the print,
O. positive, presents picture in colo-s,
underlying which is the dark brown sill
yer image. It appears as if the image
took up selectively these three coles,
but why it takes them up it is hard to
see Others than the inventor have been
supplied by him with the mysterious
solutions and are able to produce results
as good as he shows, proving conclu-
sively that the coloring is not done by
hand.

OUTWITTlNG AN EDITOR.
An Exciting Political Scheme In Which
MoCuiIngh Figured.


When David r. Francis was n cnndi-
date for governor of Missouri, his
friends succeeded in using The Globe
Democrat to further his chances OF cleo
ton. Editor McCullagh had turned on
"Our Dave" as Mr.. Francis is known
in st. Louis, with his short paragraphs
with telling effect, and Francis friends
got together and concoctcd scheme to
offset the editorial work of the paper.
They wrote out display advertisement,
and Mt n late hour of the Saturday
morning immediately preceding tho
election of 1855 took it to tho counting
room of The Globe Democrat. The clerk
on duty gave the copy casual looking
over and without word accepted it.
1t occupied full page, and ut longth
and in glowing terms set forth the
"creat business capacity and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. Francis to occupy
the gubornntorial chair of Missouri. "
That advertisement caused tho big
gest row ever witnessed i'll newspaper
office in st. Louis When Editor Nc
Cullagh found what had been done, ho
ragged and stormed for week. The fast
mail had distributed the paper MI over
Missouri before McCullngh had his at
tention called to it. He left his quarters
at the Southern hotel on 81 trot. Reach
ing the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, he found the streets and the
Office of The Globe-Democrat jammod
with people, who were clamoring to
stop their subscriptions McCullagh had
filed column on the editorial page
with "squibs" strongly opposing Fran
els and advocating the Republican NOM
inec, but the big display of Francis
friends was tho first thing seen on OPEN
ing the paper
Mr.. McCullagh at once issued an ex-
tra, i'll which he deprecated tho over
sight by which the advertisement had
found its way into the paper, but it
was some time before The Globe-Dem-
ocrat office recovered its equilibrium.

a Northumbrian wornan's Dict.

a Northumbrian woman whose work
lay in the fields, who came of big race
and allayed her own hearty appetite
with oatmeal porridge and milk, was
naturally buxom and blowsy, and had a
gait and manner that belonged to her
vocation. You could not expect much
delicacy Or refinement there. Yet many
of these big, strong, awkward women
had simple kindness and afTectionate-
ness that belonged, equally with their
faults, to an unsophisticated nature.
speak of the old style-change has been
proceeding rapidly during the last dec
ade or two. The gangs OF women now
to be seen are paler in color, mere s,unted
in size, and, am told by those who
employ them, less capable workers than
their predecessors. and this, by kind
of paradox, is an effect OF better times.
It is to large extent cue to diet. Since
wheat has fallen so much in price -four
has supplarted oatmeal, and milk "a has
been ousted by cheap tea. The new
focd may be more genteel, but it Is not
so rourishing as the old.-Lorgman $
