MOSAIC WORK
How Paintings Are Reprodoced In
the Little Colcred Squares

How Paintiur~ Are Reproduced In
the Little Colored Squares
In order TO reproduce painting IN
mosaic the artists or artisans take
a fat sheet Of iron of the same size as
the painting surrounded by border
about an inch high. This receptacle IL
then GIled with plaster so as TO OBTAIN
n perfectly fat surface. On this the
outlines Of the figures are drawn The
plaster is then cut up into small
squares. which are to be removed ana
gradually replaced by as many small
SQUARES of mosaic Of the same size
In the holes le<t empty when the plas-
ter Is taken away new plaster made
OF travertine dust. lime and linSeed
oil IS poured.
After three days this new plaster
ACQUIRES the necessary consiStency- anu
In this the artist sticks the little COL
ored squares. When all the surface
OF the plaster is covered with these
colored pieces of mosaic the whole is
washed with sand and water until II
becomes quite smooth. The eolored
pfeces are made OF mixtures. OF dii-
ferent minerals. like arsenic. Ieau,
glass etc These minerals are piaccd
in IN oven, and The different colors
are obtained by the different degrees
OF heat. and us many as 5000 various
colors can be obtained.

cured a livery horse and buggy ard
drove out towards Barrackvil% for
a pleasure trip on Suncay. When
well on the way. for some reason or
without reason. the horse suddenly
changed its gait. The first motion
was bobbins up AMI down move
ment. and showing then: the pattern
OF shoes on It's hind feet. The mex:
was to throw its feet back into the
buggy, the first thrust merely missing
the boys heads and landing with one
hind foot on either side of the shalt.

one foot went down through this time
between the front axle and the cross

TO the ground. They called to a
farmer near by who came with his
axe. when they litera1i:' chopped the
horse loose and out. left the haSlSy
behind. led the horse home anil deliv-
erred It up to the owner. and IN ex-
