A TAPESTRY TALK

Modern tapestry is characterized by
brilliance, artistic design, and eXquis-
ite color blending. The ancoients and
'medievals," it's true, wove tapestry
of which priceless specimens are still
preserved to us; but for the cotton
and linen woofs of bygone ages, with
their originally sober tints, are now
substituted silk and wool of wondrous
luster, perfect portraiture, and shad
ing so finely graduated that for every
hue there are more than 90 tones.
In the tapestry weaver of today be-
hold a trained-a highly trained-artist!
He has his schools and his stiff exam
nations. His maiden efforts are ex-
hibited in a museum where hangings
of all epochs are to be viewed, and with
them many curios connected with the
craft.
The weaver at work stands behind
an upright frame-technically a high
warp"-whose double row of threads.
separated by a cross stave, are stretched
from top to foot and regulated by
cylinders.
The artist first sketches his subject
across the warp, then begins to fill in
from one corner, or the foot, of the
frame. 1t is the left hand which waits
upon the right drawing forward or
backward the second warp, which is
fixed by means of cord rings to a pole
placed above the operator. 1t is the left
hand too that separates the threads of
the warps and prepares the way for
the right to pursue It's course and re-
turn again over first one and then the
other.
One of the most delicate of the
operations in tapestry work is hatch
ing"-in plain terms, the blending of
various colors in order to conceal where
one begins and the other ends, an
nj off -,
some cases most undesirable. 1t is this
Matching, or shading, which gives that
peculiar softness to be observed in
fine hangings.
To be effective a hanging needs full
ness and richness, both in material and
design. It must posses abundance of
detail-that is, have many figures,
principal and subordinate; and these
must be expressed by various and care
fully blended colorings.
The point of sight, too must be car
ried high-in other words, the sub
jects must be depicted, If possible, one
above another, so that the top of the
picture holds something to attract the
eye as well as the middle and lower
part.
Unquestionably tapestry should be
hung. AS a screen or other ornament
stretched tight it entirely loses its
meaning.
Tapestry was originally used as a
partition for hall or chamber From
being a wall itself 1t became a wall
decoration. and,s under the name of
"Arras"-where It was largely culti-
waited at one period-reIieved the mural
uglines Of many church and castle
in olden days.
The art is as 'old as the hills" There
were tapestries in Egypt when Greece
and Rome were unknown; and, coming
nearer our own times, Flanders, Italy.
and France have each fostered this
craft of weaving with success. In the
last named country it still f1ourishes
in more than one spot and has its

SHORT STORY
Dame Nature

Tiring of her summer dress,
Nature in her Ioveliness.
Comes her foibles to confess
II have worn this robe of green
Wheresoe'er my face was seen,
With frank and quiet mien.
True. my gown was apropos,
Everywhere 1 chose to go
Fashions edict made it so.
Now the season nears its end.
And my pride 1 must defend
Harmony and colors blend"
Then she took her artists brush,
Silently as evenings hush.
Turning stubble fields to plush.
Touched the leaf of tree and vine.
Turned to deeper green the pine
Laid the fields in strange design.
Here she trimmed the leaves with red.
Or to purple turned instead,
Every way her fancy led.
Patches in the fields were brown,
Where the clouds had cast a frown.
BY the sunbeams glancing down
Restless eddies in the stream
Tirelesss ever seem;
Earth and air no longer TEEN.
With the myriad insects gay,
Weaving fancies in their play,
Through the long drawn summer day.
In all colors of the bow,
Gods twin notices ever show

The first prize winner, who looked
like a veritable Apache with so many
feathers in her crown, received a real
ostrich feather which afforded her the
greatest possible delight, and then the
quaint little Mother Goose mounted her

nouncing that she was due in Babyland,
only TO return in a short time in her
usual dress to superintend refresh

The Oak and the Beech

For the tender beech and the sapling
oak,
That grew by the shadowy rill.
You may cut down both at a single
stroke,
You may cut down which you will.
But this you must know, that as long
as they grow,
Whatever change may be.
You can never teach either oak or
beech
To be aught but a greenwood tree.

Bird Must Be Fed

A little chap from the country was
shown a cuckoo clock for the first time.
His eyes bulged with amazement when
he saw the bird fly out and shrilly cry
the hour.
How would you like to have such a
clock?" he was asked.
well, it's awfully nice" responded
the boy, slowly, but I'd think it would
be a whole lot of bother. You have not
only to wind the clock, but you've got

The Country Beautiful

I'd rather lay out here among the trees
With singing birds and bumblebees,
A-knowin' that I can do as I please
Than to live what folks call life of
ease
Up thar in the city.
It's kinder lonesome, mabbe, you'll say
Alvin out here day after day
In this kinder easy, careless way,
But an hour out here's better'n a day
Up thar in the city.
AS for that. just look at the flowers
aroun'
A-peepin' their heads up all over the
groun',
And the fruit a-bendin' the trees way
You don't find such things as these in
town,
Or, ruther. IN the city.
AS I said before, sech things as these
The flowers, the birds and the bum1
bees,
And alvin out here among the trees
Where you can take your ease and dos
you please
Make it better'n the city

PLAN SAINT ARIUM
FOR ELECTRICAL
WORKERS
Local Members of 0rganiza-
ton Numbering 100000
Members Will Lay Scheme
Before National Convention.

The Electrical Workers of the city
of Albuquerque, numbering about
twenty or twenty-five. have evolved a
plan for the establishment in this city
of a national tuberculosis sanitarium
for the care and treatment of mem
bers of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers who are
suffering with the white plague. The
international organization, which
numbers about one hundred thous-
and members, holds its annual con-
vention September Is in st. Louis.
and delegates appointed from the To-
cal branch will be sent to the con-
vention to endeavor to enlist the gem
eral support for the movemtnt. As
i'm many other trades, the increase
of tuberculosis among the electrical
workers, especially in the large cit
les, has assumed large proportions,
and the movement Is one that will
undoubtedly meet with cordial sup
port from the International Brother
hood. The city of Albuquerque
should give vigorous support to the
movement. Albuquerque beyond a
doubt has the finest climate in the
world for the treatment of tubercu-
lOsis and the delegates from this city
to the St. Louis convention, backed
by proofs that they have the best
site in the country for such an insti-
tuition. should have the further back
ing of the people here.

DECALOGUE OF THE
ROAD BUILDER
Drainage Constitute His. Ten
Commandments According
to Bulletin Issued by u. S.
Office Of Public Roads.

The United States office of Public
roads has issued the following little
bulletin which will be of especia in
terest to people of this city and coun-
" where the campaign of road build
ing Is now in earnest.
With an average of $1,000 tons of
water falling in the form of rain on
each mile of public road in the I'm
tied States annually, it is scarcely
to be marvelled at that the ten COM
mAndments of the road builder can
be summed up succinctly in the word
'tdFainage."
Ghe saying has truth for basis,
as good drainage is the primary re-
qnisite for all roads. Even In sand
roads this holds true, for there good
dfainage" means such as will safely
remove the storm water without ero-
sion or outlying and still retain the
surface moisture.
To secure good drainage one must
take into consideration both the sur
race water and the underground wa
ter. The surface water must be re-
without subjecting the road to excess
sive scour or erosion. For this rea-
son, the center of the road should
be raised and the slope towards the
side bitches should be from one-half
TO one inch to each foot of distance
or so that the water will run freely
to the side bitches and not flow
down the road or remain in puddles
on the roadway. The side bitches
should be of ample size to care for
the severest storms with a fall of not
lass than six inches to each one hun
dred feet Frequent and ample cross
drains should be constructed and ev-
try opportunity taken to get the wa
ter away from the road as quickly as
possible. Any road along which you
see water standing in the side bitches
or on which puddles of water have
collected or which has been badly
quilted and eroded by the rains has
poor drainage and is in need of i'm
mediate attention. In fact earth
roads nearly always require a little
attention after each rain. The split
log Is essentially a tool to maintain
good drainage on our earth roads
and should be used after each rain,
On heavy clay or gumbo soil the
drag, when properly used, tends to
puddle the road surface, keep it free
from ruts, dense, smooth and herd
thus securing the best surface drain
age possible.
But in many places the under
ground water is too near the surface
Albuquerque morning journal., 1908-08-31

and must be removed before a good
road will be possible. This means
that some form of sub-drainage must
be resorted to, usually tile drains, of
clay or concrete. Water from what
ever source must be gotten rid of
effectively. for water plus clay or
gumbo invariably equals mud when
mixed in spring and summer. Water
becomes ice in winter and as water
in freezing expands one-eighth its
volume. the road heaves out of shape
and when the ice melts the road dis
appears beneath the rising tide of
mud constantly fed by rains. melt
ing SHOWS and underground springs,
In seepy and boggy places the sub
drainage in order to be fully effec-
tive should lower the water level to
not less than three feet below the
road surface. If tiles are used they
should be carefully aid. true to grade.
Most failures in tile drainage can be
attributed to carelessness in laying,
or too flat grade. Tile, less than four
inches in diameter, should rarely be
used, nor should a grade of less than
six inches to the one hundred feet
be used unless absolutely necessary.
In a very dense soil, 1t is always adj
visable to cover the tile to at least a
depth of six to twelve inches with
coarse sand or fine gravel. Care
should always be taken to secure a
free outlet for the. drains and to pro-
tect the outlet with a concrete bulk
head or catch basin, which can al
ways be kept clean and the outlet
free.
The kind of tile to be used depends
on local conditions. Concrete tile If
properly made are equally as good as
clay tile. Which kind to use is en-
tirely local question of dollars and
cents. If concrete tile can be made
more cheaply than clay tile can be
had, use concrete; II not, use clay
tile.
One great advantage of concrete
tile is that they can be easily made
by the local users at or near the place
where they are to be placed, so that
the freight charges are dispensed
with as we'll as the large breakage
losses due to handling. Placed in the
ground, both are durable. If con-
crete is used, great care should be
taken to see that good grade OF
Portland cement Is selected. and that
the drains are properly constructed.
The impression, which prevails to
some extent, that tile disintegrates,
Is erroneous.
A bulletin is now in course of prep
aration by the United States office of
public roads telling how to make con-
crete drains. This bulletin will treat
the subject fully, explaining careful
ly every point that may arise in max
ing drain pipes and culverts.

water are immense, and the storage
and use of the water is the problem
to be solved.
Texas has made a start, but s
thus far. behind the older states in
the business. There is no reason why
Texas should not lead all the other
states. In this connection special at
tention is called to the rumor. here
tofore referred to, to the effect that
there win be an effort made at the
congress, asking it to nullify the re-
clamation act so far as Texas is con-
cerned. While The News feels sure
that no such effort can succeed, II
deems 1t proper to call the matter to
the attention of the people of Texas,
to the end that the state may have
at the congress full and able rep
resentation.
