The ART of Nnsnic.

The slab upon which the mosaic is
made is generally of travertine or ii
burtine stones connected together by
iron clamps. Upon the surface of this
mastic or cementing paste is. gradu-
ally spread as the progress of the work
requires it, which forms the adhesive
ground or bed upon which the mosaic
is laid. The mastic is composed of fine
lime from burnt marble and finely
powdered travertine stone mixed to the
consistence of paste with linseed oil.
Into this paste are fixed the "smalts"
of which the mosaic picture is formed.
They are a mixed species of opaque
vitrified glass, partaking of the nature
of stone and glass and composed of
variety of minerals and materials, col
ored for the most part with different
metallic oxides. OF these no fewer
than LOO different shades are in use.
They are manufactured in Rome in the
form of long. slender rods, like wires
of various degrees of thickness, and are
cut into pieces of the requisite sizes.

deeds OF courage ascertained
by the Carnegie hero fund

There are plenty of actual living he

no more romantic and thrilling tales
than some told of those honored by
the commission charged by Andrew
Carnegie with the pleasant duty of rec

the award of prizes for bravery. Wuan
it met recently at Pittsbur@ it looked
into the facts Of large number OF
cases and decided on the award of
twenty-siX medals and $4,000 in
money.
One of the most interesting cases that
came before the commission was that
of Miss Lucy + Ernst of Philadelphia
Her feat of heroism consisted in saw.
ing a boy companion from death afeer
he had been bitten by rattlesnake.
1t was last summer at the grounds Of
club that the incident occurred. Miss
Ernst is twenty years old. and she was
walking in the grounds Of the c!ub

teen zen the big snake was encoun-
tered II struck linn in the arm. and
lie fell taintng across her path. Miss
Ernst is mortally afraid Of snakes. but
after the first moment of terror had
passed she lost no time in applying
remedy for tie snake bite. and that
was the radical one of sucking out the
poison from the arm herself. In order
to do this she had to take her pen
knife and open the small wound made
by the reptile in order that the blood
might flow more freely. This caused
young Schoenhut to writhe in agony
and led to her swallowing some of the
poison. The danger to Miss Ernst was
Increased by the existence of Il cut on
her lip. After drawing out all the
poison she assisted her companion to
the clubhouse, some distance away.
