WOOD ENGRAVING
A VANISHING ART

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, September 25.-The death of
Mr. Edmund Evans in his eightieth year
has called attention to the disappearance
of the last of the best known of the old
style of color printers. Mr.. Evans was
an artist who relied on the fine eff
fects of the wood engraving, and he work
ed before photography and the mechanical
processes provided the bulk of Illustrations
for books and pictorial magazines.
Commercially, wood engraving has been
left far behind, and it looks as if 1t may
become one of the lost arts Color print
ing has been revolutionized in recent years.
Following upon the earlier prints from
steel or copper plates came the engraving
which was colored by hand. This was a
tedious as well as a costly process. One
proof per day was the average turn out.
There was the disadvantage that hardly
ever did the artist get two proofs alike.
Thus 1t is that we find the prices realized
for old proofs at Christie's frequently show
a wide disparity. One picture may fetch
as much as $3.50. and another from the
same plate might be bought for tenth of
the sum.
The hand work was followed by the print
obtained from good engraving, and then
came photography. The chrome has held
process is threatening It with extinction.
Although the idea of three primary colors
Is old. having been discovered by a French
man in the early part of the last century,
the practical working of It Is of compare
lively recent date. The results obtained
from artistic point of view are far In
advance of anything which the photographic
artist can produce.
Can't Compete With English.
Sir A. Conan Doyle at recent meeting of
aphael Tuck & Co. declared that Germans
and Americans have as yet been unable
to compete with the English in the three
color process. The best class of the pro-
auctions of Raphael Tuck & Co., he de-
clares, are printed in this country and 1t
is only the cheaper series of their goods
that are sent to Germany to be printed
Quite recently large publishers sent orders
to Germany for the preparation of a num-
Der of blocks by the three-color process
for the illustration OF a well-known work.
The German firm sent the orders to Lon
don to be executed and the blocks were
dispatched to the continent. When the
pictures were printed they were marked
| Made IN Germany" which was only half
the truth.
A large number of blocks have been made
for the National History Museum and for
farther India One notable piece of work
recently performed by Mr.. Hentschel of
the Hentsehel colortype process was the
making of three blocks of the picture which
King Edward presented to the officers of
German regiment. Proof sheets were
sent to his majesty. who signed 1t and sent
It to tie kaiser as Christmas card.

Order has been restored at Balakhany.
but at Ronany on Thursday strikers
attacked two factories, and as a result
80 persons were killed or wounded
Warsaw, Feb. 24.-The situation here
is causing the greatest anxiety in all
circles. The assistant to the governor
general frankly admitted that the gov
eminent is at a loss to know what to
do. Alarming reports are current con-
corning the intention and plans of the
revolutionary party, and March 4 is
awaited with much apprehension. The
strike agitation is spreading in every
direction. and bank clerks, journalists,
office servants, printers, drivers and sta
tionary engineers and mechanics in gen
eral are all threatening to strike. The
strikers are resorting to violence. They
have destroyed the great switchboard
station outside the city and cut number
of telegraph wires. Western Poland is
completely cut off from communication
with middle and western Europe except
by telegraph.

Leaving 1t to the Pnstman.

Some queer things are done by
thoughtless persons who try by descrip
lions to supply the lack of definite
address for their letters.
One such letter was directed: ITO my
sister Jean, up the Canongate, down a
close, Edinburgh. She has wooden
leg" Jean safely received her brothers
communication.
Another queer letter provided no diff
Guilty at all for the postman. It was
superscribed, .'This is for the young
girl that wears spectacles, who minds
two babies, 80 Sheriff street, off Prince
Edward street, Liverpool"
Another was addressed, 'This is for
her that makes dresses for ladies that
live at tother side Of rode to James
Brocklip, Edensover, Chesterfield
This, too, was delivered.
The following specimen, however,
| proved too much for the mail carrier.
