Berlin Criticism Over Some Of His
Ideas in Execution.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, June Ono department Of the
multifarious activity of the German en-
peror has been more controverted than his
patronage Of the arts, and much criticism
has been exercised on the numerous monu-
ments and public buildings in which his
ideas have been put into execution What
may be regarded as an imperial apologize
as far as these matters are concerned Is
shortly to appear in the shape Of an elab-
crate book by Prof. Paul Seidel, curator Of
the artistic collections In the royal castles
and director of the Hohenzollern museum.
This work. which tells the story of the
emperors relations to the arts and ex-
pounds the principles which have guided
him, will contain forty-six original paint
ings, drawings and designs by his majesty's
own hands. A writer in the Lckalanzeiger
which has been favored with advance
proofs, remarks:
"As these are not completed works exc
cuted with the assistance of t. ; living
model. but only ideas of the moment, t..ey
will appear to the lay eye hasty and in
exact To the connoisseur, however they
are proof of extraordinary acquaintance
with the nature of sculpture, painting and
decorative art In many sketches for the
atrical scenes the difficult problem Of pre-
senting masses Of people in active move
ment Is cleverly solved
The emperor is defended against the re-
proach Of possessing no sympathy for mod
ern art and his standpoint is said to be
summed up in his utterance, II recognize
no tendencies in art: recognize only the
really beautiful, that Is to say. art"

noeing on beautiful Deal lake even more
bewitching.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. June 29.-At the last meeting
Of the Poplar guardians. the general pur-
poses committee brought up a series of
letters dealing with the conduct Of men who
had recently been sent to Canada by the
guardians.
The committee reported that the assist
ant superintendent Of the emigration branch
of the interior department Of the govern
ment Of Canada had written to the board
Il inclose herewith a copy Of a letter ad-
dressed to the superintendent Of he emf
grafton department Of Toronto with respect
to a party of immigrants who arrived in
Toronto and who 1 understand came from
your union
The inclosed letter stated: ION Sunday
there arrived here some thirty-one men
bringing cards Of introduction. l inter-
viewed some Of them and picking out the
man who seemed to be the least drunk Of
the lot I learned that they had been en-
gagged upon some farm colony some three
or four months. They received express or
ders when they landed in Toronto and i'm
medately proceeded to get drunk. At the
lodging house last night they raised such
a. disturbance that they had to send for the
patrol wagon and sent several to the police
station. We sent few to I1arr ,wsmfth
this morning and they will probably work
In some mine, as I do not think they are
at ali fit to send to farms They are with
out doubt the toughest lot that have seen
for years"
The committee recommended that the
guardians instruct their clerk to communi-
cate with the assistant superintendent Of
immigration expressing regret.

Carboy Rocking Apparatus.

The universal custom In the handling
of acids and like chemicals used in guam
titles is to make use Of carboys, which
are box-encased bottles of huge dimen-
sions. To empty such a carboy q rocking
apparatus is made use Of, the carboy being
secured to the rocking frame and tilted
as it is desired to draw of the acid. This
operation requires the services of two men.
one to hold the receiving utensil and the
other to tilt the carboy: but the task has
been greatly simplified lately by the inven-
ton Of pump for this purpose. This is
especially constructed so as not to be af-
fected in any way by the character of the
material being handled and with it's aid
the contents of a carboy may be drawn off
by one person without trouble or danger.

Improvement in Small Machinery.

In the great improvement which has been
made in the design and construction of the
small machinery generally the lines Of the
old grindstone have undergone a complete
transfer ton. The stones now to be
seen in up-to-date shops mounted on neat
pedestals taking up very little floor space
and driven by a motor concealed in. the
pedestal.
Instead Of single wheel there are gen.
orally two or three Of varying textures for
different classes of work, and often the
disks of stone are almost entirely con-
cealed in protective hoods of sheet metal
which prevent damage in case of the burst
ing of the wheel. a form of accident more
or less common in workshops and generally
of a disastrous nature. These electrically
driven grindstones are governed by switches
placed at convenient points controlling the
direction and speed of the movement of tho
wheel.
One of the newest designs has the wheel
encased in a neat metal box which entirely
covers the stones when not in use. The
hinged top folds over to either side for
service, forming convenient shelves for the
use of the workman when operating the
machine
