Old Time Bank Sinecures.

In the old days the Bank Of England
was paternal in its treatment of its
clerks. One young fellow was dis
tinguished only for his zeal as a mem
Der of the volunteer corps which now
is defunct. His clerkly services were
negligible and neglected, but when it
was brought to the notice Of the di-
rectors they remembered his martial
ardor and gave him a nice little sine
cure. Another clerk was reported to
them as really clever amateur paint
er. They saw his pictures. ut is a
pity that such talent should be wasted
over ledgers," was the kindly verdict.
So they gave him a room at the bank
for use as a studio and appointed him
to the post of experimenting the burn
ing of Cancelled bank notes every Fri
day afternoon.-Lon Chronicle.

MAKING A BALLOON.
Precautions Taken to Keep the Gas
Bag From Destruction.

PRECAUTIONS AIKEN to Keep the Gas
Bag From Destruction.
1t may interest the reader to hear
something about the construction of
big modern balloon and it's equipments.
It is made of what is known as bal
loon cloth, which sometimes is of silk
and is sewed in small sections of about
a yard square, so that if one of the sec
tons should burst the whole balloon
would not collapse and destroy the
aeronaut.
At the top Of the bag is the valve to
let the gas out when one wishes to de-
scend. A rope for opening it runs from
this valve through the center Of the
balloon to the operator in the basket.
The balloon is filed through the neck,
and this is left always open, SO that
when the gas expands from the heat OF
the sun or the lesser pressure of high
attitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope.
AS soon as the balloon is sewed to-
gether it is blown full of air and given
three coats of varnish. Each coat must
be allowed to dry thoroughly before
the next is applied, or else they would
never become perfectly dry, and the
balloon would be likely to be destroyed

to each other. If this is neglected the
balloon will be ruined, especially in hot
weather.
AS I said, fine netting covers the
balloon proper both to strengthen it
and to carry the weight of the basket
and its contents. All the strands Of
the netting come together in the econ

in which the aeronaut stands. The an
Choir and guide ropes as we'll as the
basket are fastened to this concentrat-
ing ring.
All modern balloons, besides the
valve, have a rip cord fastened to a
long patch sewed in the envelope, by
means of which the balloon can be cut
in two and brought to earth instantly.
This is never used except in case of ex-
IRENE emergency and where the basket

VENUS OF MILO.
The Famous Ancient Statue In the
Louvre at Paris.

The Famous Ancient Statue In the
Louvre at Paris.
The Vents of Milo in the Louvre.
Paris, is supposed by some to be the
work of AleXandros, one of the Asiatic
Greek sculptors. 1t is said that the
base Of the statue bearing the artists
name was destroyed for the purpose of
causing the king of France to believe
that the work was more ancient than
it really was.
1t was discovered on the island Of
Milo in 1920 by a peasant. 1t was in
a niche in a wall which had been
buried for years. The Marquis of Ri
we're bought it and gave it as present
to Louis XVIII. of France. 1t is made
from two blocks of marble joined above
the drapery which envelopes the legs.
AS it now stands it has two blemishes,
which have been repaired by modern
artists. The tip of the nose was bro
ken when it was found and also the
foot which projects beyond the dra-
perry.
In point Of fact, it has a great deal
more resemblance to a goddess than
to a beautiful woman. At one time it
was dressed in clothes of a modern
sort, and the effect was anything but
pleasing. The figure of the statue is
not at all adapted to modern clothes.~

the London lunatic asylum. It was
originally founded in 1247 as a priory,
but is spoken of as a hospital for lu-

was despoiled it was granted to the
city of London as such an asylum. At
one time the wretched inmates were
exhibited to the public like so many
wild beasts, as Pepys notes in his dia-
