ANCIENT ARTISTS.
Wonderful and Lasting Work of the
GrecO-Egyptian Painters.

Wonderful and Lasting Work of the
GrecO-Egyptian Painters.
The methods of the artists of ancient
Greece and Egypt were totally differ
ent from those of the present day and
were evidently vastly more durable
Panels of wood were used to paint on
sycamore and cypress-also panels or
papier mache, and occasionally they
were formed by gluing three thick
nesses of canvas together. These pan
els were usually about fourteen inches
long by seven inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead of oil to mix
the colors, which were made, not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances,
and were of marvellous brilliancy and
permanence-b powdered lapis la
zuli, green malachite, red oxide Of iron
etc. The colors were laid on In patches,
somewhat after the fashion of a mo-
sale, and afterward blended with an
instrument called the cestrum, which
appears to have been a lancet shaped
spatula, long handled, with at one end
a curved point, at the other a finely
uenldleu sage. WIN tne toOlned eOge
the wax could be equalized and smooth
ed, while the point was used for plac-
ing nigh lights, marking lips eyebrows,
etc.
The final process, which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of paint
ing, was the burning in of the colors.
This was done by the application Of a
heated surface to the panel, though in
Egypt the heat of the sun was prob
ably all that was needed to complete
the artists work

INSECT ANATOMY.
Wonderful breathing Apparatus of
Wasps and Hornets.


If we take any moderately .s4rge IN
sect, say a wasp or hornet, we can
see, even with the naked eye, that
a series of small spotlike marks runs
along the side of the body. These ap-
parent spots, which are eighteen or
twenty in number, are, in fact, the
apertures through which air is admit
ted into the system, and are generally
formed in such manner that no ex-
traneous matter can by any possibility
find entrance.
Sometimes they are furnished with
pair of horny lips, which can be opened
and. closed at the will of the insect; in
other cases they are densely fringed
with stiff, interlacing bristles, forming
a filter which allows air and air alone
to pass
But the apparatus, of whatever char
acter it may be, is always so wonder
fully perfect in its action that it has
been found impossible to injure the
body of dead insect with so subtle
medium as spirits of wine, although
the subject was first immersed in the
fluid and then placed beneath the re
ceiver of an air pump.
The apertures in question communi-
cate with two large breathing tubes,
which extend through the entire length
of the body. From these main tubes
are given off innumerable branches,
which run in all directions and con-
tinually divide and subdivide, until a
wonderfully Intricate network is form
ed pervading every part Of the struc-
ture and penetrating even to the an
tennae.

MAILS OUT OF THE BURNING
BUILDING.

Five horses were burned to death in a
fire that broke out in the one-story frame
stable, No. Al Wilton street. at II. 10
O'Clock Saturday night The stable was
owned by Martin Fritz, of No. 3 Bost-
wick street. He had three horses of his
own in the stable and two that belonged
to Charles Dana, of No. 432 Pacific ave-
nue.. Desperate efforts were made to
rescue the struggling horses, and William
Ostrander, fifty years old, of No. 432 Pa
cifc avenue, was badly burned about the
head and hands in endeavoring to rescue
them before the firemen responded to an
alarm sent in by citizen from box No.
81 His hair and eyelashes were nearly
burned away. He was taken to the City
Hospital. The stable was in close prox-
unity to dwelling houses, which were
threatened by the flames, but the firemen
succeeded in confning them to the stable.
The fire drew big crowd from the La
fayette section, and greately excied the
occupants of the adjacent buildings.
Many were the exclamations of pity for
the burning horses, and the odor of
burning horse flesh could be detected
blocks away.

"Red as a Sapphire,o

To say that a young girls eyes are
as blue as sapphires is as absurd as it
would be to say that her mouth is as
red as velvet. Sapphires, no more
than velvet, are exclusively one color.
The sapphires of Ceylon run from a
soft blue to peacock blue, which last
is practically green. There Is also a
red sapphire, sometimes called Cey-
lonese ruby, stone as precious as a
Burma ruby. Besides blue, green and
red sapphires, many fine ones are vel
low and white.

The Poppy.

The poppy throughout the east is an
emblem of death. In many parts Of
India this flower is planted upon graves
and in cemeteries. Whether or not the
idea was suggested by the poisonous
character of the juice Is uncertain. 1t
Is believed that the poppy was known
as a funeral plant to the ancient Egyp-
tians, for upon the tombs opened by
Belzoni there appeared representations
of plants which were evidently intend
ed for poppies.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF BRYAN
COLLEGE TROLLY COMMITTEE
SOME POINTED ADDRESSES
Time Has Arrived When Bryan Must Take
Action in the Matter or Suffer
the Consequences.

A meeting vas held in the law
Office Of Doremus d Butter yester-
day afternoon, account of which
will probably make an interesting
page in the future history Of the
town Of Bryan.
Pursuant TO call of Chairman J..
+. Butler, the committee appoint
ed by the business League to pro-
mote the building Of a trolley line
TO College, met with every mem
ber present save those out OF
town. Present were chairman j.
E. Butler, w. Z. Saunders, Tyler
Haswell, G. NJ. Brandon, X. S.
Webb, J. Webb Howell, 4. j.
Fountain, Z. II. Edge, A. NJ.
Waldrop, j. w. Doremus, A. w.
Wilkerson, +. NJ. Law. President
Harrington, DR.. n. II. Brown and
Prof. ]. Z. Nagle Of the A. and NJ.
College were also present.
Chairman Butler called the
meeting to order and after It's OBJ
ject was stated DR.. Brown was
called upon to address the meeting.
DR.. Brown is the head OF the
electrical engineering department
Of the A. and NJ. College. He
was formerly superintendent Of the
consolidated street railway system
Of Chattanooga. He stated he had
gone TO some trouble in securing
data for a proposed electric line
from Bryan to College. He esti-
mates the total cost Of such a road
at s65,O00. This would iuclude
not only the track, but rolling
stock and power house. DR..
Brown stated that II one half Of
this amount should be subscribed
for by the people Of Bayan that
the road can be bonded for the
balance. This, he said, was the
usual custom in financing rail
roads.
In answer to questions DR..
Brown stated that the road would
certainly pay expenses the second
year If not the first.
Prof. Nagle, professor Of civil
engineering at college was intro
duced and made many practical
suggestions as TO construction.
Mr.. Nagle stated that nearly an
air line could be followed and but
little grading would be necessary.
He also suggested that an artificial
lake could be made at a half way
point and an ideal pleasure resort
established at a nominal cost.
President II. II. Harrington was
called for and made a talk that
caused the committee to "sit up
and take notice He said in part:
"The College must grow and I
shall do all that in me lies to make
growth possible. We are turning
away students every year for lack
Of room. Already / have received
many applications from new stu.
dents for the reservation Of rooms
for next session. We ought 20
have a thousand students and IL
room is provided we can get them
in a few years. Now, there are
two ways TO provide room. One
is the cottage system. This means
TO build many cottages and small
on the campus and
board students in them. Then
outside capital can be enlisted to
nut up dormi,ories and the college
