THE HERALD has been informed
the bull ring and amphitheatre at
Matamoros, which was destroyed
by fire last Friday night. will be
rebuilt in the near future. The bull
fights were a great drawing card
for our sister city. and the destruc-
ton of these facilities meant
great loss to that city from a 6nan-
cial standpoint, and also removed
the possibility of a sport which is
very popular in Mexico, and has
large following from this side the
Rio Graude. THE HERALD would
be glad to learn the structures were
to be rebuilt at once.

The history of the Dresden. Meissen,
or Saxon porcelain factory (the three
names apply to the same establish
ment) is generally divided into three
periods-O the kings, 1710-96; (2)
the Marcolini, 1796-1S14; CD the mod
ern. We propose to confine this arti-
Gle to the first period only.
The discovery of porcelain in Ger
many was due to the munificence of
Augustus IT,, king of Poland, and cleo
tor of Saxony, who employed clever
young chemist named Botticher to
search for the philosophers stone.
which, Of course, he failed to find
However, instead of solving the mys-
terry of the transmutation of metals,
he happened on a system of attracting
gold to his masters treasury. Work
ing in his laboratory, some crucibles
which he was preparing assumed many
of the characteristics of oriental porce-
lain. This was the inception of the
Dresden china.
Botticher's further experiments
seem to have been conducted without

much method. They consisted OF MAX
ing various pastes, which, being baked
in the oven, failed to produce true
porcelain, but the secret was not dis
covered until 1710. The means by
which It 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 a
sample of the powder to 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 to the discov-
cry that the powder was made from
the one clay that is capable of produc-
ing hard paste porcelain-we refer to
what is known as ''kaolin." The re-
suit was the production of true porce-
lain,
The elector monopolized the discov-
cry, and attempted to keep it close
secret. The mineral was placed in
sealed casks by dumb men, and con-
veyed to Meissen, where the king es-
tablished great porcelain manufac-
tory. The works were carried on in
the strongly fortified castle OF AL
brechtsburg, where the workmen were
practically prisoners. Everywhere on
the walls was posted the notice, ''Se-
crecy to the Grave This rule was en-
forced at Meissen down to 1872. Stone
walls and severe penalties, however
could rot prevent the secret from be-
ing revealed; it is recorded that in
1718 Meissen china worker was bribed
to break his oath and divulge the
method of manufacture co the director
of the Vienna china works, whence
the art spread far and wide.
The king himself when he visited his
mandatory, went through the form
of taking the oath Of secrecy The first
perfect piece of Dresden china pro-
duced at Meissen was teapot, which
Botticher withdrew from the oven,
and threw into cold water in the pres
ence of Augustus, and. greatly to the
delight of all concerned, the teapot
sustained no injury. Botticher man
aged the Meissen factory until his
death in 1719. In 1871 the elector Of

the modelling. The most usual subjects
on pieces dating from this period are
groups of figures IA Chinese costume
in compartments or medallions on q
plain ground, the painting being some
times enclosed In 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 ecclesiastic of Hides
helm, whose system consisted of
method of etching or engraving on the
surface of white porcelain. The cele-
brated Angelica Kaufman was for q
time one of the artists employed ar
Meissen, and her oil paintings as well
as those of other eminent painters,
were copied many times over by the
china decorators.
The painted and modelled butterflies,
which occur SO frequently, were worn
as dress ornaments in the eighteenth
century. Madame la Marquise de Gre
qui, in her Memoirs" describes the
Ma-quise de Froulay as being attired
in velvet dress, fastened up in spe-
cies of draperies with butterflies OF
Dresden china. Meissen snuff-boxes
often decorated with views of the roy
al palaces, are fairly common; SO are,
also, the bookcases, which are often
exquisitely painted.
Among the pieces which the collec-
tor is most likely to meet with are tea
mil "a
pots with floral ornamentation; and
bird in high relief on the lid; trays
with sprays of flowers; jugs with Wat
teauesque groups; vases with figures
in formal gardens, the handles being
formed of Cupids; cups and saucers
(some painted with golden tulips; and
the like. After 1774 the styles and
forms of the preceding period were
abandoned, classical motifs and shapes
replacing them. The vases lost their
graceful flowing outlines and now be-
came severe, with square plinths,
wreaths of laurel being the favorite
decorative design. Both vases and
teacups have angular handles.
The Dresden candelabra and clock
cases are usually artistic both In their
modelling and in the delicate coloring
Of the ornamentation. A fine speci-
men of the former represents the god
