the approaching visit to America
OF the present occupant of the chair
OF Augustine. the Right Honorable
and Most Reverend Thomas Randall
Davidson. Archbishop OF Canterbury and
primate Of England, there is something
OF the significance of n visit from one
OF the princes Of the reigning royal
house. For the archbishop is the first
peer OF the realm, and ranks next 10
princes Of the blood royal and before
all dukes excepting those OF royal blood.
Archbishop Davidson will not travel
incognito. He will be accorded such
civil honors as the american people de-
hight to offer celebrities from abroad
and particularly those from England.
President Roosevelt will receive the
archbishop IN Washington on a date to
be fixed some time between the 18th and
18th of September
. The primates time viii be fully occu-
pied by the many engagements already
being made for him. He is TO preach
at Old Trinity Church. New York. at
tend the convention OF the Brotherhood
OF St Andrew in Philadelphia. and also
May Go to ST. Louis.
While in the United States he will
make an effort TO see the Worlds Fair.
IN which he is extremely interested.
Lady Davidson will accompany the
archbishop on his visit TO America, and
a chaplain or private secretary may also
be included in the party.
This visit is really a courteous return
for the visits of American bishops to
the decennial Lambeth conferences, and
the archbishop is practically the organ
izer Of it.
Whether any closer tie between the
Anglican Church and the American
Episcopal Church IS contemplated he
cannot say, although there is practical
unity already. The numerous letters the
archbishop has received from Ameri-
cans, lay and cleric, referring TO his
visit. show n sense Of community. and
in the warm note Of personal sympathy
have touched the archbishop.

have not been fully completed and they

The archbishop vii; first visit Cana
dian centers after a brief stay In New
York. Then after some quiet weeks, for
a much-needed rest, he will attend the
great conference OF the Episcopal
Church in Boston. after which he will
return home, having passed two clear
months in America.
The archbishop has no present inten-
ton OF visiting at the large American
cities. His health is excellent, but he
needs three weeks rest before the Bos-
ton conference. Then, returning. he
will find heavy arrears OF work at Lam
beth and Canterbury.
He may possibly make occasion to
repeat his visit later.

Sources OF Color.

An interesting enumeration has been
given of the sources of color. From
this it appears that the cochineal in-
sects furnish the gorgeous carininc,
crimson, scarlet carmine and purple
lakes; the octopus gives sepia-that is,
the inky fluid which tie creature dis
charges in order to render the water
opaque when attacked; the indian yer
,ow comes from the camel; ivory chips
produce the ivory black and bSne black;
the exquisite Prussian blue comes from
fusing horses hoofs and pigs blood:
blue black comes from the charcoal Of
the vine stock; Turkey red is made
from the madder plant, which grows in
uindoostan; the yellow sap of Sia-
mese tree produces gamboge; raw sien-
ia is the natural earth from the neigh.
borhood of Siena, Italy; raw umber IS
an earth found near Umbria; Indian
ink is made from burned camphor;
mastic is made from the gum OF the
nastic tree, which grows in the Gre
clan archipelago; bistre is the SCOT OF
wood ashes: very little ultramarine, OBJ.
tanned from the precious lapis lazuli, is

During the time that gambling was

was easily the most daring chance tak-
er of all the notable argonauts. Bald

day of all day and all night drinking,
when overmellow men, most Of them
with riches so suddenly acquired that
they hadn't had time to stop and figure
on how much they possessed. tried to
outvie one another in the capers they
cut with the Lady Fortune.
Zone night in the late ffties Lucky
as he was then called, walked into the
famous old AlcatraZ club on kearney
street in San Francisco after having
been religiously stunning his bed for
about three days and nights running
and in that shape Lucky was. in those
days, ready for anything.
ga famous dealer in the Alcatraz
club-the biggest gambling establish
ment On the coast at the time-was
'Baldy' Monson, so called because his
poll was bare of hair as pat Of butter.
except for a tiny patch that remained
right on the crown Of his head. 1t haG
been a cowlick, ard. with consistent
stubbornness. it had refused to so when
the rest of 'Baldy's' hair had departed.
Baldwin strolled over to where
'Baldy' Monson was acting as lookout
for the faro game. preparatory to tax.
ing hold of the box himself, and draw
ing Monsons head down Lucky began
to count the hairs that the dealer had
left on the top of his head.
"'How many have you got left?
Baldwin asked Of AIonson.
eighteen Of 'em an inch or more
long, the last time they were counted
soberly replied Badly There may be
some trifing short ones besides in the
tuft, but they don't figure
Eighteen, eh?' said lucky We'll,
it's just foolishness to be packing
around only eighteen hairs. Turn me

your eighteen hairs go with the pot
how's that?
"'Baldy' glanced inquiringly at the
proprietor of the club, who was stand
ing by, and his employer gave him the
nod. AIopson took the dealers chair
and began the deal. The king won
down near Che middle Of the box, and
the proprietor of the club scrawled a
check for $4,000 on the Bank of Cali
fornia and handed it over to Baldwin.
Lucky shipped the eighteen hairs
off 'Baldy' Monson's head with the
razor edged blade Of his pocketknife,
had the housekeeper at his hotel tie
them up in tiny pink ribbon, with a
double bow to set them off, and ex-
hibited the tuft in the window of the
