CAMEO CARVING,
Brief Description of the Tools and tA'
Method EMPLOYED,

Brief Description of the Tools and the
Method Employed,
All the tools used by the eames cary
err would make but a handful. The
worker sits before a wheel turned by
a pedal surface ON which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone or she'll beneath the neGdle-like
drill, The little pointed instruments
which are used to drill resemble those
/ employed by dentist. and, indeed, 1t
was from the cameo carver's. kit that
the dentists got many of their ideas
| when the tools now in use by them
came to be manufactured. thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness ac-
cording to the portion of the figure or
design To be executed; some are as fine
as the point of a cambria needle. A
small china receptacle also stands near,
( filled with oil and diamond dust, and
into this the workman frequently dips
his tool during the progress OF his
work. The cameo cutters occupation
! is very exaeting. He can put in only
few hours work at time, as a usual
thing, because OF the tension on his
nerves. A quayering hand may be re-
sponsible for the single stroke which
will spoil weeks work. He must
have an eye almost like microscope,
and very delicate touch; he must De
an artist in soul and as skilled a
craftsman as is matchmaker; he
must know how to model and draw,
and he must have a knowledge of
chemistry, so as to remove Offending
spots. The work is executed in relief
on many kinds OF hard or precious
stones, but essentially the chalcedonic
variety of quartz and on shells. The
cameo cutter himself prefers onyx be-
cause of its dark and light lay>rs.
which throw out in bold relief white
head, say. against black background.
He evolves his picture by removing all
that portion of the white stratum re-
naming after the head has been COM
pleted. Sapphire blocks are used, car
nalian, turquoise. amethyst and nu-
merous other stones. 1t takes about
one month to execute portrait on
onyx. while much less time is consum-
ed ii the work Is done on she'll. There
is always great danger OF the latter
breaking. and its durability. too. Is not
great, so that she'll. as rule, IS not
as desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cost $500. while
one in shell may be had for $50. The
inquiries for these are rare, and build
ing up patronage is slow, and Is ac-
accomplished mainly by satisfied GUS
toners influencing others.-New York

Expansive Cunning,

a single big gun of the many now
being put In place for the protection
Of the seacoasts costs a large sum-.
Some interesting figures on this sub
teet have just been submitted to Gen.
Wilson, and will be by him transmitted
to congress. A 12-ineh breech-loading
rife, with fits disappearing carriage,
costs s141. 600; 10-inch, 800 ESQ, and
an s-inch, $4,000. The figures show
that modern bigh-powered guns cost
immense sums OF money, and the cost
of firing them is proportionately as
great. The report of experts who have
inspected these guns and the devices
for securing an accurate aim show that
there Is an immense saving effected by
possessing modern-raage and position
finding devices. 1.-THE demoralizing
effect Of hit as compared to a miss, g
said one Of these reports, cannot be
reduced to a money value, but It costs
big money to shoot big gun and then
miss the mark. Take, for instance,
the 12-inch gun. To miss the mark ia
simply to throw away s561.70. with
the f0-inch gun the loss is s322.4O, and
with the s-inch rifle 1t is sf04. s5. -

SHAKERS ARE NEARLY EXTINCT
Followers of Mother Ann Lee Are Be-
Ing DenleteH In Number

ing Depleted I'm Number.
The birthplace of the Shaker relig-
ion in New England Is Harvard. pic
turesque little Massachusetts town
about forty miles west of Boston. It
was here that Mother Ann Lee, an
English woman. came in the summer
Of 1871 with little band Of devoted
followers to expOund the doctrines OF
her faith. Today there are two settle
ments OF Shakers in the noIghborlug
towns of Harvard and Shirley. Dur
ing the last fifty years interest in the
Shakers has gradually died out, and
the membership all over New England
has grown smaller and smaller. As
there are never any births in a Shaker
family, the only hope of growth lies In
taking In new membership from the
outside. OF course, the logical result
of such theory IL that deaths will de-
plete the ranks, and so today the COM
munities at Harvard and Shirley are
not as large and prosperous as they
were once. A large proportion of the
two families are old men and women,
and there are a few young members
to take their places in the years to
come

From recently published letters of
Sir Alfred Miner it seems that on Nov.
30 of last year he wrote to Mr.. Cham
berlain about "the colossal ornaments
OF the Transyaal' and described the
Boer republic as "a huge arsenal" The
warning came too late and the world,
as a consequence. has seen during the
closing year of the century two little
republics successfully confronting the
greatest empire of modern times. The
future historian of the Transvaal war
VIII have some interesting materials
at hand when he comes to narrate this
struggle almost without parallel in

Henry D. Clayton of Alabama has in
PRODUCED in congress a resolution pro-
viding for the turning over of Cuba to
the Cubans on the coming Fourth of
July. The date is not well chosen.
There is no need for spectacular per-
Torrance of what the United States is
pledged to do. BY the terms of the
treaty Of Spain this country is bound
to remain in control in Cuba until the
coming April, in order to give Spanish
residents a chance to straighten up
Their affairs and leave the island if
they so desire. When that date ar
rives Cuba should, as matter of
course, be turned over to the Cubans,
in fulfllment of a solemn pledge made
by the American government in enter
ing upon the war with Spain.
