BOOK ILLUMINATION.

An Early Example of the Artistic
Culture of the Ancients.
The underlying thought which has in
spired illumination from its very be-
ginning is more interesting even than
the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension. To the ancients
the rarest gems in all the world were
the gems Of thought. The book was
the tangible and visible expression of
mans intellect, worthy of the noblest
setting. Its covers might be made of
tables of beaten gold inlaid with pre-
cious jewels, its words might be writ
ten in minium of rare brilliancy
brought from India or Spain or in
Byzantine ink made from pure orien-
tai gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-
tons portraying the highest skill of the
great artists of the day.
The earliest example of illumination
is a papyrus in the Louvre in Paris,
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed in bright
colors, touched ia its high lights with
penciled gold Although we find fire.
quent mention of some poem written
in gold, of some magnificent volume or
codex of colored vellum or some col
lection of miniatures or of some mag
nificent gift book decorated for prince
or church, yet this simple, imperfect
fragment at the Louvre is the sole
tangible evidence we have that so
obvious a form of artistic culture as

the long period of classical antiquity

Millions in CornstaIks.

From Lesles Weekly.
A valuable use of what Is now almost
waste product has been suggested by
Prof. II. w. Wiley of the department OF
agriculture. lie believes that the stalks
of sweet corn might be made to yield
sugar OF the best quality. They contain
much more sugar than those of the COM
mon field corn. and the sugar content ls
at It's maximum at the time when the
ears are pulled. Sugar. of course, is
readily convertible into alcohol. and in
asmuch as 1C0 pounds of stalks will yield
six and a half pounds of absolute alco-
hol. ii is easily seen what a good thing
the ignorant agriculturist has been al
lowing to go to waste. Say that one
acre will yield from ten to twelve tons
of grain stalks. or about 0000 pounds,
and you have a quantity of raw material
which will product 1900 pounds of absolute
alcohol or PIG gallons. Alcohol at the
present time is worth 30 cents u gallon.

cornstall<s may be kept indefinitely and
are ready at any time for conversion into
