Berlin. -Lithographers look at 1t

house about so yards from the ancient
city hall Of Nuremberg. Germany.
There is nothing to distinguish it from
the other old houses of the neighbor-

ogTaphic stone, worth from six to q
cents a pound So photographers who
go to Nuremberg wander from the
worn tourist trails to see the wonder.
The house was built about 1880, near

born. Andreas Lichtenstein. who
built it, took the stone easiest to get
and secured it for the trouble Of carry.
