TRADE WITH VENEZUELA.


American Manufacturers Open . Ware
house ~ Caracas.
The National Association of Manu-.
facturers Of the United States OF Amer
ioa decided more than q year ago TO es-
tablish sample warehouses in foreign
countries in which American trade was
capable Of large development, and the
first Of these warehouses has been erect
ed in the city Of Caracas, Venezuela
Theodore b. Search Of Philadelphia, the
president of the association, began nego-
tiatiops year ago TO secure Q concession
granting certain advantages for the es'
tablishment Of the warehouse, and the
government Of Venezuela has granted
the concession and has manifested its
intention to cooperate earnestly with
the association. In January last Rudolf
Dodge went to Caracas as the special
commissioner of the association to CON-
plete the plans for the exhibition OF
American goods in that city, and he has
returned with report that the plans
have been carried out satisfactorily.
The warehouse Of the association is Q
large and imposing building, erected IL
one Of the most prominent parts ot
Caracas and arranged for the exhibition
Of goods under the most favorable cir.
cumstances. The purpose Of the associa-
tion is to show American goods to the
people Of Venezuela and enable them to
become familiar with articles manufac-
tured in this country, with view te
having the people Of Venezuela send
their orders for goods to this country.
The government Of Venezuela has
manifested its friendly disposition by
granting to the association the privilege
of entering samples for exhibition free
of duty until sold. As the duties il
Venezuela are exceedingly high, this
privilege is Of material advantage tt
those who desire to develop their trade

LOST FOR TEN CENTURIES.


Ancient Quarries Of Prized Thsssalisn
Marble Found.
The quarries from which the ancients
obtained their highly priced Thessalian
or verd marble have been discovered
and are again being worked by an Eng
lish company. The quarries, which have
been lost for more than 1000 years, are
in the neighborhood Of Larissa, in Thes-
sally, Greece. The ancient workings are
very extensive. there being no fewer
than ten quarries, each producing
somewhat different description Of mar
BILE, proving without doubt that every
variety of this marble found in the
ruined palaces and churches of Rome
and Constantinople, and likewise in all
of the mosques and museums of the
world, came originally from these quar-
ries. In fact. the very quarry from
which the famous monoliths Of St. So
phia, Constantinople, were obtained
can be identified with absolute certainty
by the matrices from which they were
extracted.
In modern times verd antique marble
has only been obtained by the destruc-
tion of some ancient work. and 1t has
naturally commanded extraordinarily
high prices. As consequence. q mum.
Der Of ordinary modern green's Of Greek,
French, Italian and American origin
have been described and sold as verd
antique marble. No one, however, who
is really acquainted with the distinctive
character Of the genuine material could
be deceived by these inferior marbles.
Thessalian green is easily distinguished
from any other green marble by the fol-
lowing characteristics: 1t is "breocia"
Of angular fragments Of light and dark
green, with pure statuary white, the
whole being cemented together with Q
brighter green, while the snow white
patches have their edges tinted of with
. delicate hbrous green. radiating to the
center Of the white. The cementing ma
terial Is also Of the same fibrous struo-
ture.
