Electric Heating,

The extension in progress in the va.

A great number of electric heating ap-

ufacturers for shoemaking machinery,
heating silk-finishing rolls and leather
working machinery, aud during the
past year and half alone IA, 900 elec-
trio car heaters have been installed. A
blankbook manufacturer has had in use
since 1894 from SO to 40 electric glue
pots. and starch-makers are now en-
ploying electric-heat apparatus extern

clothing houses of the country now do
most of their work in certain depart-

have also been supplied to state asy-

Illinois, New York, Massachusetts,,
Maine and Maryland. Electric radi-
ators are found very convenient where
it is desired to heat room, or corner
of it, for limited period, as the heat
can be instantly turned of or on.
One Of the most popular uses of electric
heating today is for curling-iron sets.
Three hundred and eighty-seven of
these were ordered for the dressing
rooms of two combined New York ho-
tells, 72 sets for Boston hotel and a
large number for the American line OF

ABYssINIAN ART CRITICS.
Last Judgment" for McneIiiS. WIth
Friends and Foes Distributed.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
As the Egyptians. Etruscans and Greeks
were artistic. so. IL seems, are the Abys-
sinians. As is known. a great organ has
been ordered from Berlin for the cathedral
of Ads Abeba, the residence of Emperor
Menelk. and a celebrated Russian painter.
Eladiscow. is going there to paint the
Negus as he appeared at the battle OF
Adowa. The cathedral OF Ads Abeba Is
composed of two churches one inside the
other. The outside one is open to all the
faithful, while the inner is reserved for the
sacred persons of the Negus and his family.
The Emperor Menelik. it seems. has an
tistic fancy. He wished the outer walls of
he inner church to he decorated with re-
ligious pictures. and ordered. under the first
Crisp cabinet. the pictures In Italy. send
ing the measures of the walls and the win
dows which break them. The Italian gov
ernment received the order with great
pleasure, and commissioned several artists
to paint the pictures. which were aim bst
finished when Ras Makonnen came to Italy
as ambassador extraordinary. At Turin he
saw the pictures. but they did NOT please
him. the artists having given them the ap-
pearance of tapestry, and they were forth
with refused.
The commission was again given. this
time to artists in Rome. Ras Makonnen
called to examine the sketches approved
them on the whole but suggested certain
changes. The interpreter was embarrasse
for words to convey the exact idea, and the
Ras, waxing impatient. seized a piece of
charcoal, and, STOPPING drew tho design he
wanted on the tile floor in a primitive but
thoroughly intelligle manner. The pictures
were soon finished. One represents kind
of universal judgment: in Paradise are
King Humbert. Queen Margherita. the En-
peror Menelik. Signor Crispi, Count Anto-
neli. who had been Italian representative
to Shoa, the Ras Makonnen himself etc.

and inferno. and when the fl $40 for them
