THE IVY GREEN
Rare Old Plant Taking Hold of New
York BUILDINGS

tSIN 1AIi0eIiSS
Some day" said the MAI who walks
about a little, New York will be the
greenwalled city. Possibly it will
not be SO in our time, but the youngs-
tiers who will be where we are now
fifty years hence, will see it. Within
1--r years ! have noticed a rapid
growth of green and every summer
adds materially to the prospect.
Il don't lee trees, for New York
will W. be an arboreal city, but I
refer to the growth of ivy and creep
ers of various kinds on the houses all
over town, in residence streets and
upon the churches. In Madison ave-
nue. there are houses so covered from
foundation to cornice that the observ-
er cannot distinguish the material Of
their construction. And so with very
many churches, the vines climbing
high UP the steeples and still reaching
skyward. Far downtown there are
some old houses green in their attire,
but the greatest number are among
the newer houses uptown.
Along WesA End avenue and
through the +treets crossing it there
are masses obf green extending not
over one hcGse, but almost over half
a block. tAt one place in West End
avenue thsre are three houses, with
pointed gables covered to the tips
with an ity or creeper, and assar as
7 nn1iH G 10 fhnro uo hT1t onn ct0po Of
stertinTE' This grew from an open
place IN the sidewalk, against the foun-
dation, not two feet square. What
bad effect the gas and electricity
through the soil Of the streets may
have on trees I cannot say, but there
does not appear to be any of it upon
the vines, and their growth is as strong
and green as can be found in any coun-
try churchyard. In many houses the
windows look like mouths of caves
through the clustering vines, and there
are hundreds of window1ess walls of
newer houses built out to the street
alongside of old houses sitting back
that are solid green. The effect is
pleasing, and in summer is a vast i'm
provement over blistering s%un-refect-
ing surfaces.
"The old superstition that vines on
the walls rotted them or made the in
teriors damp has been exploded, and
it is shown that the effect is the oppo-
site, the vines absorbing the moisture
and really protecting the walls. In
sects are possibly attracted by the
vines, but we can stand a few bugs for
so much beauty, and every house own
er on the island should do what he can
to encourage vine growing, and if we
cannot have shade trees among us,
have the next best thing to them"

LEATHER BURNING AN ART.
Secret of Success is in the First Treat
ment Of the Material.

nent Of the Material.
At various times during the last de.
cade attempts have been made to popu.
larize the burning of leather as a fine
art. The attempts have not been a
success, as only in rare instances have
the artists been able to produce salts
factory results.
Perhaps nothing is more unconvinc-
ing to the plain citizen than the flu
rious efforts made by the leather-burn-
ing enthusiasts to convince him that
this or that example of amateur work
is really artistic.
Some light on the reasons why the
burning of leather has not been more
generally successful was thrown on
the situation the other day by a man
who has seemingly perfected the burn
ing of leather in commercial purposes.
Il had the greatest difficulty in pro-
ducing satisfactory results" said this
man as he stood beside the grimy little
furnace in his six-by-nine workroom,
until / stumbled on the solution, in ex-
~perimenting with chemicals for the
proper treatment Of the leather. Be-
fore that | never could obtain regular
ity in my work. The proper degree
of heat in the irons, which would give
the best results with one quality of
leather, failed utterly on other pieces,
and either caused too deep a burning,
or failed to make enough impression
at the first application. The letters
came out unevenly and looked ragged.
So I took two years off and studied
the effects of chemicals on the leather.
Il found the secret at last. It is my
secret. / don't propose telling any
one anything about it. I don't have
an assistant. do all the work my
self, at least all the treatment of the
leather. But / will say that it is as
simple as the traditional rolling of a
log when you know it.
THE firms who wished to have leath-
er articles burned were chary of me
at first but when had convinced them
that ! knew the methods which would
produce really seemly effects, they
took hold enthusiastically. Now / am
Obliged to turn away work every day."

when I left college l decided that no.

I realized that the eastern field was
