A RELIC OF THE PAST.

We hear so much nowadays of the
shattering of mans ideals where wo-
mar is concerned, that we might be
tempted to believe that the modern
mar treasures in his heart some glor-
ious standard of feminine perfection
by which he measures every woman
he meets. AS a matter of fact, the
bachelor of today is singularly liberal
minded and free from prejudices. If
he inherited any nonsense of this de-
scription it has long been dispelled
by the frank and practical girl of to-
day. 1t is only when the young MAI
boldly thinks of leaving bachelor
hood behind him that he is occasion
ally attacked by the relics of stock
traditions in regard to woman.

one of the cars was a few minutes
delayed getting up. 1t had to go back
nearly to the bridge at Grab Beach
and start again to get enough force
to carry it ove the slippery rails. The
people in the cars were surprised 10
hear sudden sharp reports go off IN

something vas put on the tracks to
cause these explosions.

Herman Gerbaulet Had $40 Taken
from Kim at st. George.
Herman Gerbarlet, the n~ewsdealeF
of Al Main street, is bemoaning the
loss of $40, which he says was taken
from his overcoat pocket yesterday
morning at st. George. Every Mon
day morning Mr.. Gerbaulet, who Is
the newsdealer on the trains or the
Amboy division of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit, and also has boys 70
deliver papers at the different sta
lions on the line of the railroad, goes
down on the 9:02 o'clock train to
collect his money and the returnable
papers for the past wec,s. EIc had
collected all of his papers and money
yesterday morning and had put a bag
containing about $40 in small change
in his overcoat pocket, which was
hanging in the caboose of the smok-
ing car. In his haste to get the pap
ers down to Wheeler's newsstand at
st. George, he left the %overcoat in the
car, thinking that he had put the
money in his other pocket. When he
returned in a few minutes the coat
was still there but the money was
among the missing. 1t is thought
that the money was taken out soon
after the train had arrived at that
place.
The matter was at once placed in
the hands of the railroad detectives,
who are making a thorough investiga-
ton.

STAINED GLASS PROCESS.

A new process of glass enameline
has been invented by Herr Adolf
Kempner, a well known German glass
painter, the most important feature
of the process depending upon its
adaptability to decoration, on a far
large scale than has ever before
been attempted in enamel work. The
enamel is somewhat similar to Linn
oges," raised and adapted to decora-
tive work on a larger and more elab-
crate scale, and is the result of sew
eral years investigation and expert
ments.
Herr Kempner has decorated sew
eral subjects by this new process,
among which may be mentioned a
fine altar piece centre panel and
two side panels) representing the
crucifixion for a church in Leipsic.
The figures (about three-quarters
life size) are executed with both
power and dignity, while q fine sense
of artistic balance pervades the de-
sign itself, and the lighting effects
are superb. The peculiar character
istic of this process is it's ''molded
surface" and the possibilities coll
veyed by means of this beneath it's
coating of brilliant enamel furnish
the result.
The actual groundwork Is plaster,
while the modelling is overlaid with
a thin coating of metal, the colors
being of the same description as
those commonly used in china paint
ing, while the enamel consists of a
finely powdered glass, which being
placed in a closely meshed wire re-
c~eptacle, is applied by the operating
artist gently tapping and moving 1t
until the powder is evenly distributed
over the entire surface to be fired"
water being occasionally blown
through a spray in order to fix the
particles of glass. Here and there
portions of the metal may be seen
glinting through the colors after fir
ing. This. however, is no disadvan-
tage; indeed it only serves to give an
additional glow and warmth to the
piece as a whole.
