HOW INDIA INK IS MADE.

pairs the quality and sometimes destroys
the effect of their sketches.
The reason is found in the circum-
stances under which the India ink is
made" says a local photographer India
ink is in general use all over Asia; in fact
except in the government offices of India
and French Cochin China, no other writ

done either with a small brush or reed
pen The ink is highly gummed, SO that

parchment; no acid will affect it. and it

In both India and China there are
| thousands of people who manufacture the
ink as side line to their regular bust
ness. working at it in the winter, at
night and on days when they are not 9TH
crwise employed. 1t is made by burning
some kind of oil in a lamp with a very

of vegetable oil will answer and in dis

The best kind is made from Sesame oil.

Full FORCE At NAVY YARD
SECRETARY METCALF'S STATE
MENT TO SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Good News Is Announced at Meet.
ing Of the Southeast Citizens
Association.

The verbal assurance of Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf That there is to be no big
reduction in the wor...ng force at the navy
yard and that there is sufficient work
on hand there to employ nearly the full
force for some time to come was re-
ported to the members of the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association last
night by a special committee. which
waited on the Secretary several days ago.
This was good news to the members of
the association and removed certain fears
they had to the effect that great amount
of work now being done at the navy yard
was to be transferred to plant in another
city. which would bring about a large re-
duction in the force. The committee that
called on Secretary Metcaf about the
matter was composed of A. G. Hermann

their troubles would be at an end when
they reached Moscow, selected as theil
winter base.
But the Russians depended on greater
ally than the French could bring with
them. They knew the climate and were
aware that as last resort they
could freeze out the invaders. 1t was a
daring and self-sacrificing scheme. The
French were just taking possession of
the city. and Napoleon himself was es
tablished in the kremlin. when fires were
discovered in a dozen quarters of the
city. Then it was discovered that the
fre-f1ghtins apparatus had been disa-
bled. The French soldiers tried to fight
the flames, but they were relighted faster
than they could be extinguished. A gale
favored their spread in the wooden city.
1ncendiaries were caught and shot, and
many who were innocent persisted with
the guilty.

Just who it was that took the respon-
sibility for firing the city long remained
a mystery. The governor general was
accused by the French. but he denied
the charge and it was impossible TO
prove it.
Gen. Rostopchne would have admit
ted the charge and gloried in his sue

his personal safety not to do SO.

Held Up Near Kenilworth.

Allen was seated in his wagon and the
horse was slowly approaching the lighted
suburb of Kenilworth when two men
stepped from the side of the road and
engaged him in conversation. Suddenly
one mounted the wagon and assaulted
him.
1t is believed by Allen that a club was
used and that he was left on the road
for dead. When he regained his senses
he felt his pockets and found he had
been robbed. He sustained a number of
cuts and bruises, and was suffering great
ly from shock when he reached the city.
His condition was SO serious that it was
necessary for him to abandon his trip
to market and return home
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Garrison and
Constable Thomas n. Mohler began an
investigation, in which the local police
are assisting. Allen was able to give
fairly good descriptions of the men.
