The discovery of porcelain in Ger

Augustus H., king of Poland, and cleo

young chemist named Botticher to

1t is recorded that when Frederick
the Great approached Dresden in 1745
the so-called porcelain king (Augus-
tus) fled with his best china and pic
lures. leaving the rest of his yaluabes
and the archives to the tender mercies
of the PruSsians. An interesting con
temporary side-light on the history of
this factory is contained in a letter
from Jonas Hanway, the celebrated
merchant and philanthropist who, on
his return from Russia in 1850, passed
through Dresden. He says There are
abost 200 men employed at Meissen in
the mandatory, most of whom have
not above ten German crowns month,
and the highest wages are 40, so that
the annual expenditure is not estimat-
ed above 10000 crowns. This manu-
facture being entirely for the kings
account. he sells yearly to the value
of 10000 crowns, and sometimes 200,-
600 crowns E35 5000) besides the mag
nifiCent presents he occasionally
makes. and the great quantity he pre-
serves for his own use. They pretend
they cannot execute fast enough the
commissions they receive from Asia,
AS well as from all parts of Europe,
and are, consequently, under no neces-
sity to lower the enormous price.
However, this must be the consequence
ere long if the English and French
continue to make such improvements
in this art. 1t is with great Satisfac-
ton that | observe the manufactures
of Bow. Chelsea. and Stepney So i'm
proved
The Chinese taste was predominant
until the appointment of Handler, a
celebrated sculptor, to superintend
the modelling The most usual subjects
on pieces dating from this period are
groups of figures in Chinese costume
in compartments or medallions on
plain ground, the painting being some
times enclosed in a richly gilded scroll
pattern the body of the object is uSu-
ally yellow, green or gray.
Other rare pieces are those decorated
by means of a process invented by
Baron Busch. an eCclesastic of Hides
helm, whose system consisted of a
method OF etching or engraving on the
surface of white porcelain, The cele
brated Angelica Kaufman was for a
time one of the artists employed at
Meissen, and her oil paintings as well
as those of other eminent painters,
were copied many times over by the

In the oven, failed to produce true
porcelain, but the secret was not dis
covered until 171O. The means by
which Il came to light was, we think,
one of the most curious incidents in
the history of invention. We are told
that BOtticher'S valet purchased new
hair powder in Dresden, and promptly
dressed his masters wig with it. The
chemist soon noticed that his peruke
was heavier than usual and added
sample of the powder 10 one of his
mixtures. Calling his valet, Botticher
was informed that the heavy hair pow
der was discovered by an ironmaster
named SchnOrr, who observed a pecu-
liar clay adhering to his horses hoofs
when riding one day near Aue. A few
hours investigation led 10 the discoy

The Senate committee on interstate COM
merce today continued It's hearings on the
subject of railroad rate legislation. James
J. Hooker chairman of the Receivers ana
Shippers Association of Cincinnati, SAID
that a reduction of rates was not required,
but that rearrangement was demanded.
He favored readjustment of rates to meet
cases where certain localities were discrimi-
mated against by giving to the interstate
commerce commission full authority to
make such adjustments. The passage Of
the Esch-Townsend bill was advocated by
Mr.. Hooker. Chairman Elkins asked:
"What would You do II all of your money
was tied up in railroad stock If some other
man had the power to fix the rates Of your
road?'
You are asking a Hypothetical question:
said Mr.. Hooker.
mo, l am not. I know men who own
two-thirds of the stock Of railroad, half
of the stock and one-fourth of the stock. If
you were in the position of these men would
you hold onto the stock or would you sell2'
asked Senator Elkins.
There would be no panic in stocks as
the result of the passage of the BILL said
Mr Hooker. These men would hold onto
their stock and see how the matter worked
out. II unsatisfactory they would depend
upon further amendments or a repeal of
the law
