The Result of the Genius of Barbara

The Result of the Genius of Barbara
Uttmnn of SnS0ny.
little known example OF inventive
genius In woman Is that afforded by
barbara Uttman OF SaXony and her
point lnce so long i'm fashionable use all
over the world. She invented the proc
css and apparatus for manufacturing
this beautiful handiwork. which has
since given employment TO millions OF
operators and which. in It's line, has
never been cXccled. The apparatus
looks like long pincushion bristling
with pins arranged to outline the pat
tern or design. The operator manages
from ten to fifty peculiar spools, allow
ing the thread TO feed over the pins al
tcrnately until the design is completed.
The spools or bobbins nre purposely of
different colOrs, so as to be easily dis
tInguishablc. The process is slow and
difficult to learn. Miss Uttman found
cd schools where thousands learned 1t.
Since her time, when inventive ability
was rare even among men, her ideas
have been incorporated IN the construc-
tlon OF machinery by which the lace is
produced at wonderful lower rates, and
yet Barbara Uttman's lace still sur
passes all.-London Queen.

LEGENDARY DEVICES.
How Strange Animals Appeared In
Hern1iry In Old Days.

Heraldry In Old Days.
Early writer's OH natural history sub
jccts make mention OF many strange
creatures That never could have exist
cd save In the supcrStitious mind OF
the age In which they wrote. and of
the many that did exist the accounts
OF their structure and habits are so
ludicrous that one may really wonder
IL 1t was possible, even In the middle
ages. that people could be so credulous.
Many of these strangely garbled rec
ords Of the animal world were, no
doubt, due to travellers tales and prob
ably had u certain foundation in fact.
but 1t is difficult indeed To account for
the creation of such things as the phoe-
nix. the cOckatricc. the wyvcm, the
griffin and the dragon. Tho belief IN
the existence of the unicorn may have
| originated from the fact OF some of the
early African travellers meeting with
certain antclopcs that had lost a horn,
for II Is a popularity with most ante
lopcs that their horns are never shed
and II injured or broken never grow
| again.
The horn. growing out Of the fore
! head. bctwXt the eycllds, is neither
| light nor hollow nor yet smooth like
other horns. but hard as iron, rough ns
any file. rrvolved into many plights;
| sharper than any dart, straight and
not crooked and everywhere black, ex-
ccpt mt the point.
| bartholomew asserted that there
| were many varieties Of unicorn, and
| this would be feasible IL this creature
hnd been created from those horned
beasts That had accidentally lost one
| of the horns.
How the phoenix was called into be-
! ing it would be impossible to hazard IL
| guess. 1t was popularity supposed that
there was only one such creature exist
| ing III the whole universe and that
there was only one tree In which 1t
| built its nest. We find mention Of the
phoenix as far back as Pliny, who
says. "Howbcit. cannot tell what TO
J make of him; and, first OF all, whether
| 1t be tale or no, that is never but one
of them in the whole world, and the
same not commonly seen"
In the fifteenth century we find Bar
| thOiomcw writing of this imaginary
bird:
Phoenix Is large bird. and there is
| but one that kind in all the wide world
therefore lewd men wonder thereof
Phoenix Is a bird without make (mutr)
J and llycth 300 or 900 years. When
tho which years he passed she fcclcth
her default and feeblcncss AMI makcth
n nest Of sweet smelling sticks that he
| full dry, and in summer when the
western wind bloweth the sticks and
the nest he set on fire with burning
hent of the sun AMI burneth strongly"
| The bird then allows itself to he re-
duccd to ashes In this nrc-on this
point all the writer's agrce-and in due
course rises again from the ashes In
the full glory of renewed youth land is
the most faircst bird that is, most like
TO the peacock In feathers, and lovcth
wilderness anu gathereth his meat Of
clean greens and fruits"
The basllisl, or cockatricc, was re-
putcd to he some strange mixture of a
bird and serpent, able TO slay with his
breath and his sight, which power was
accredited by some to dragons.-W

PInycd by the Wind.

The natives Of North Borneo convert
n long bamboo into mn 15olian harp by
cutting slots In the bamboo above each
joint, setting it up so as to easily turn
on It's axis and keeping the apcrtures
constantly facing the wind by means
Of rudder or fantail similar to that
used on an American windmill. The
music from this harp OH II windy day

The nrst dolls OF which there is any
knowledge were found among the treasures
unearthed from the ruins OF Babylon. They
were small figures In terra Gotta and ivory,
beautifully carved. and must have been
fascinating playthings for the little Assyr-
ian children.
The little girls OF Syria had mechanical
dolls. The arms and legs were moved by
pulling strings, much after the fashion of
jumping jacks.
The dolls the classic Greek children
played with were made Of wax and clay,
decorated with bright eolors. One kind had
movable limbs and its clothes were made
70 take on and put on, Every doll had
bed OF It's own. These dolls represented
gods and heroes. but whatever they were
meant to represent they were dressed with
loving care by the little Greeks.
As these children married when they
we're very young they played with their
