FANS IN HISTORY.

Greatsums are spent in ornamenting
fans, and many were painted on by the
skillful fingers Of Vatican.
In the eighteenth century the fan
was held up TO shield the face when
anything shocking was uttered.
The fan was first brought into Eu-
ropean nOtoriety by Catherine de
Medicis, who introduced it into
France.
In the east, the use of the fan is of
remote antiquity. There is a fine col
lection of fans among the Egyptian
antiquities in the British museum.
Fans are made, to a fair extent,
in this country. The total value of the
fans annually manufactured in the
world is placed in excess of $500, 900.
Queen Elizabeth of England, when
in full dress, carried fan. During
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies, fans were used by gentlemen.
The manufacture of fans is extern
slVely carried on in England, France
and Belgium. Whole villages in Pi-
cardy are employed in the various
branches connected with the industry.
The Chinese have greatly excelled
in the art of fan making, and in the
species Of lacquered fans their supe-
riority is admitted. Cheap fans are
manufactured in Canton as low as two
cents a dozen.
In the palmy days of the French
court, when Louis XVI. and Marie An
toinette lived, there was a profigate
extravaganza in fans, which was ex-
tremely profitable to the manufac-
turers of them.
In 1871 there was held. under the
patronage of Queen Victoria, at the
South Kensington museum, a com.
petitive exhibition of fans. Large
numbers were placed on exhibition
from Egypt, Turkey and Mexico and
the islands of the Pacific ocean, and
included almost every private and
public collection of any note. The
queen received the highest premium.
$4,000, for a fan which once belonged
TO Marie AntOinette.

of more than ordinarily aggressive
robins built their nest in the shot
hole which went completely through
the mast, and reared a brood of young
ones, to which his majesty and Queen
Adelaide were greatly attached. Sub

twO-thirds heavier than those on the
upward grade in action-that a natur-
al falling of the weights on the former
grade insures perpetual motion.
A cessation of the driving force can
only be effected by preventing the
weights from falling, and this is done
by very simple cCntrivance in the
form of spring which acts on all the
weights simultaneously. Taking a
wheel 40 feet in diameter and three
feet wide, it is estimated that it will
carry 1850 weights and that the driv-
ing power will be equal to 1.443% tons
from the center of the wheel. The
cost of construction is about one
sixth the cost of machinery for steam
power, and il is also claimed that the
new motive power will reduce the
working expenses 95 per cent.

tragedy recently. There had been
an epidemic in the district. and as
its ravages ever became greater the
villagers finally felt satisfied that il
was the work Of sorcerers. After a
thorough investigation they arrested
a man named Asian and his sister
and openly charged them with being
the direct cause of the disease. The
two prisoners avowed their inno-
cence, but the mob insisted that tbev
had been heard using incantations
and other evil spells, and that their
sole object in doing so was to invoke
an epidemic. Without delay SEN
tence was pronounced. Asian was
burned alive on an improvised seat
fold aud his sister was mercilessly
tortured with red-hot irons.
