STREET PARADE FLOATS.
Many Difficult Problems TO De Met In
Their Construcfion.

Many Difficult Problems to Ee Met In
Their Construction.
'sThe making Of decorative street
floats IS a difficult trade" said New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty Of experience in the line he men
toned. There are so many things
TO be considered For instance. a float
must look well both near and far. 1t
must be able 10 stand a dash of rain
1t must be light enough 10 20 over any
kind of street and solid enough TO re-
sist a gust Of wind. and. most impor-
tant of all. il must be so constructed
that it viii appear all right to folks in
upper windows.
''Some years ago a young designer
from the north made several small
models for tableau cars that charmed
everybody who looked at them. They
were certainly very beautiful and nov
el. but when | was called il as an ex-
pert | said at once that they wouldn't
do. They were designed to be viewed
from the banqueCte only. and from a
second story window every particle Of
effect would have been lost. More
over. a lot Of hidden mechanism was
certain TO be discovered at any eleva-
tiOn above II feet.
-The young artist frankly admitted
l was right and abandoned the job
He said it involved entirely too many
optical problems to suit him. When

culate on a visual sweep Of 50 de-
grees. That goes from the level Of
children on the pavement to people
looking almost straight down from the
upper floors Of tall buildings. Unless
such a precaution Is taken the car is
certain to be a failure. New Orlean,

Man and His smoke.

Every little while you read that 6

This is not written by a maa who has

Put rhrnurh Hin Pnce.

The wealthy BritOn is confessedly
the most fastidious man living as to
the quality of his personal domestic
service. The concentrated energy with
which an EngIishman will rebuke his
servant for an OfIense so slight that
the average American fails TO observe

Ernest NJ. Bowden in The Nineteenth
Century reports a chat with isaja
Sivaprasad on Jainism. The Iains
pay more regard to the feelings Of the
lower animals than any other sect in
the world: will not kill them or iniure
them: are careful to avoid destroying
even insects. sometimes wearing
handkerchief over the mouth to pre-
vent any living creature being breath
ed in. IL may be argued that this
tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal TO its possessors. handicapping
them seriously in the struggle for life
with less scrupulous rivals. As evi-
dence TO the contrary Mr.. Bowden
points TO the .Iains:
Notwithstanding the opposition. II
not active prosecutions. Of bygone
times. the one small sect which. more
than any other In the world. has
taught and practiced the doctrine OF
'ahimsa.' or 'nonlnjury.'. to living creu-
lures. stands today. after some fouI
