examples of the old English timber

Passing ST. Georges Chapel and con-
tinuing along the road which leads to
the north terrace, one passes a quaint
row of stone houses which are the
residences of the military Knights of
Windsor. The next object of interest
is the great Round Tower. This was
originally built for a prison and served
as such until 1860. From it's battle
ments one may enjoy most extensive
view parts of no less than twelve
counties being distinctly visible.
st. Georges Hall is an impressive
room, it's ceiling adorned with the
armorial bearings of the Knights of
the Garter since 1850 and with the
banners of the twenty-six original
knights hanging on the walls. Here
is the carved oak throne, which is a
copy of the coronation chair in West.

Then there are the Rubens room
and the Zuccarelli room, containing
paintings by these masters. The Wa

room, hung with portraits of Yelling

others associated with Waterloo. 1t
is in this room that theatrical per-

PAINTS OF THE ANCIENTs.
Water CoIors Were Invariably Used
in the Olden Days.

Water coIors Were Invariably Used
in the Olden Days.
Paints as now employed in the arts,
both mechanical and decorative, were
not known to the people of ancient
times Pigments they had in abund'
as to make them enduring had not
been discovered. Nowadays when the
artisan is applying varnish he puts up
a sign warning passers by to beware
of paint, which shows that by the
average man varnish is regarded as
a species of paint.
The two are, indeed, closely related,
but it will surprise most people to
learn that, while varnish is product
known in very remote ages, paint as
used to-day is of comparative recent
origin.
The paint used in Babylon and Min
eveh and in Pompeii was composed Of
pigments mixed not with oil but with
water, to which had been added a
little glue, egg albumen or perhaps
sometimes casein which is albumi
nous matter from milk, or the gluten
from cereal grains. Glue. however,
was the most universal grinding ma
terial.
Such paints are now known as fres.
co paints or water colors. They have
not gone out of use, as is illustrated
by the reported statement that the
New York rapid transit subway walls
are to be painted throughout with
some of these preparations.

CHOSEN for the fray and there was a
large audience to bear witness to the
mascots' powers.
Jocko was sitting aIoft in the rigging
meditating upon things in monkey land
and looking down upon humans with
critical gaze from a monkey altitude.
Up the gang plank came Mickey. He
felt In fine trim and had the air of
saying, PITY the member OF the mon

pockets and walked on gloomlly. 1t was
a pleasant night, however, and In spite
