a round of mechanism which threatens

An operator at a keyboard symbolizes q

How Lover Worked.

Samuel Lovers daughter, Mrs. Fam
ny Schmid, writes her recollections of
"The Author of Rory O'More'" for
The Century. Mrs. Schmid says: His
industry was such that in the busiest
years of his life he did not even grant
himself time to look at the lily papers,
or to read any new book that was much
talked of. His wife always read the pa
pers and the new books for him, giving
him in conversation a resume of the
news of the day and the contents of the
books, SO that he was always well in
formed of everything that was going on.
If anything exceedingly important was
on hand in the political world, or if any
part of q book was particularly interest
ing or well written, these she would
read to him while he vas painting.
Many artists are as dumb as fishes at
their ~easels, but he could
charmingly while he was painting,
which was q particularly pleasant quail
ity for his ~sitters. In painting or in
writing he worked indefatigably, and
seemed to be independent Of the
moods to which many artists appear
to be victims. As to his songs, he used
to say himself that he never wrote q
song in his life except when he couldn't
help it.
The songs used to "come to him."
generally words and melody simulta-
neously, 50 that he had only to write
them down. Frequently the idea of q
song would come when he was occupied
with something quite different, as, for
instance, while painting. He would
then leave his easel, write down the
idea and return to his work. Afterward
he would return to the idea and work
1t out.

The invisible radiations from heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decompositions much after
the manner Of lights, as, for instance,
in nhnte granhv Among the substances
sensitive to weak ~radiations of heat may
be mentioned paper saturated with Gu
pric bromide, or a mixture of sulphate
Of copper and potassium bromide, which
has a faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, if
green is used, a brown image Can be OBJ
tanned In a minute by exposing to the
radiations from a gas stove, and ON
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason of the reduction
of the silver. Bichromated paper is af-
1ected by radiant heat, as by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
of copper yields a feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture of sulphate Of
copper and oxalic acid gives q paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorate Of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming a deep
green. Similarly used bromide of tin
behaves asif exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate of
silver, which is markedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone or gallo acid

Making Marbles.

Marbles are manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
AT the marble quarries the refuse stone
Is broken by hand into small cubes. A
bushel or more of these is poured into a
great revolving cylinder, which is sup
piled with water from a faucet. The
cylinder is revolved at q higE rate of
speed, and the cubes, by attrition, are
ground down to the tiny spheres which
give such delight to the hearts of the
boys. From one to two hours are usu-
ally required to finish a lot of marbles,
and they are afterward sorted according
to size and painted by hand. The crock
cry marbles, or potteries, are nodded of
the same material as ordinary earthen-
ware, and are then glazed and baken.
The glass marbles containing images
and flowers are nodded.

HOW the Ugly Dut lOOtDsome NTeoSurOs
Are Caught.
Mr.. A. Ulrich of Chicago, who once
lived in New Orleans and is familiar
with the matter Of which he speaks,
sends in the following very interesting
account of the way in which crawfish
are taken by the men Wis., fish for them.
He says:
"Around New Orleans there are
swamps which are always being hunted
for crawfsh, and yet the supply is I'M
limited. So numerous are they that one
cannot leave fish on a string in the wa
ter, for they will tear the fish into
shreds.
"A snail net about the size of a but
terfiy net, about ten cords, each two feet
long, and 5 cents worth of meat COM
plete the outfit for one person.
I'm the swamp there are small islands
and long necks of land which intersect
one another in all directions and upon
which the catchers go.
"The start is usually made in the
early morning, when the sun does not
shine SO fiercely and walking is much
easier.
Arriving at their destination, they
cut their meat into small pieces about
two inches around. Each piece is now
attached to one Of the cords. After this
they are thrown into the water, and the
other end of tie cord is attached to a
stick which is stuck into the ground so
that the crawfish cannot pull the meat
away. One usually waits a few minutes,
and then when the cord D. gently raised
the catcher will see about half a dozen
crawfish with their pinchers stuck into
the meat, eating ~rayenously.
"The Let is now gently put into the
water directly under them, and with a
sudden jerk they are landed, for as soon
as they strike the air they will let loose
of the meat.
1.-THE crawfish are of a large species.
The writer has caught some measuring
10 inches from tip to tip. These are by
no means uncommon.
1.-THE average catch for three persons
is about an ordinary bucketful. The
