mother also was a noted Angora. Her
name was Lady Holmes and she won

Admiral Togo bears the marks Of his

which was used to make Mr.. Taft's
pair of trousers was of six months
growth. 1t was cut last March and
yielded ten pounds, which is said to be
the largest six months clip ever taken
from an AngOra goat.
1t was suggested by some of the An

mirers of Mr.. Taft that 1t would be do
ing a nice thing to have a pair of
trousers manufactured from the mo-
hair that had been cut from Admiral
Togo. John B. Darlington of San

sent the clip to a Philadelphia firm of
cloth manufacturers. 1t was converted
into an elegant piece of cloth. 1t was
then sent to Owen Owen of Washing

found that the piece of cloth from the
ten pounds of mOhaiT was ample for a

A formula for a whitewash which
can be applied TO lime walls and which
afterWard becomes waterproof, so as
to bear washing, is given by German
paper. Resenchek of Munich, mixes
together the powder from three parts
of siliciOus rock (quartz), three parts
of broken marble and sandstone, also
two parts of burned porcelain clay,
with two parts of freshly slaked lime,
still warm. In this way a wash is made
which forms a silicate if often wetted,
becoming after d time almost like
stone. The four constituents mixed
together give the ground color, TO
which any pigment that can be used
with lime is added. 1t is applied quite
thickly to the wall or other surface,

be cleansed with water without losing
any of its color; on the contrary, each
time it gets harder, so that it can even
be brushed, while its pOrostty makes 1t

be used for ordinary purposes, as well
as for the finest painting. A so-called
