SAPIER-MACHE ARMOR.
How 1t Is Displacing Steel at the
Present Time-Ancestral Mail
at Small Cost.

This is an age of imitation and

photograph are elbowing the oil
painting aside, and now papier-mache
is beginning to displace steel, iron
and bronze for making the armor
which is supposed to have been worn
by the dead but sceptered sovereigns
Of literature. Several philanthropic
firms are now turning out armor of
any and every period made out of it,
says the New York Evening Post.
According to the wishes of the Gus
toners, they will nnish it in bright
steel, silver and gold inlay, hammered
brass, rusty iron or malachite.
The new goods are warranted not
to break easily or to cut any unfor-
tunate guest upon whom they happen
to fall. Arranged in the hall Or upon
the wall of the salon, they are guar
anteed to deceive the best critics, and
to give all the satisfaction of the
genuine suit of mail worn at Poitiers
or Crecy.
People whose ancestors INDUCED in

wars between England and France
can reproduce the ancestral mail at
comparatively small cost. If neces-
sary, you can have the breastplates
worn by the Puritan and the skull
caps of Cromwells Ironsides. The
new invention has aroused the enmity
of the dealers in antique armor, both
ancient and modern, who declare that
it is intended to ruin their industry.
1t may be recommended, however, to
prudent housekeepers and careful
mothers. A papier-mache battle-ax
or a double-handled SWORD may be

the least danger to the baby in the

THE BLATTA ORIENTALIS.
A Monster COckrOach from the TrOp-
les Which Has Found It's
Way to England.

The blatta orientalis is about three
times as large as an English ''black
beetle" and is well known to sailors
in the tropics as one of the many
pests of ships. This tropical or east
ern cockroach has been transported
to the ''zoo," the eggs being carried
there in packing cases containing rep
tiles and beasts from warm countries,
and has found a congenial climate in
the reptile-house. All cockroaches,
oriental or otherwise, are very fond
of water, having, like most other
loafers and Migrants, an unquench-
able thirst. AS the foreign cock
roach flies by night. when it looks
like an enormous water-beetle, it has
been able to occupy an ideal home, an
island full of caves, and surrounded
not only with water, but by album
dance of food. The island, says the
London Spectator, is big log in the
center of the steamy crocodile pool.
The log is full of splits and crevices,
in which these monster coclroaches
live, and from which they keep a
bright lookout for the bits of soaked
bread, bun, apple and other eatables
which people who think that croc
odiles are like roach, and will nibble
bread, drop into the muzzles of the
sleeping saurians. When large
piece Of bread floats up against the
log the cockroaches make up
salvage party, and, dragging it to
their main cave below. make a COM
munal feast. Numbers are caught
and used as food for the insect-eating
lizards, SO they are to some extent a
useful importation.
