caustic Whistler.

whistler's caustic wit is shown by
the following anecdote:
"Of one who was held to be Eng
lands most brilliant young artist, Yes,
he said thoughtfully, he's clever. but
there's something common In every
thing he does, so what's the use Of
itr"
Like many great men, he had but
little time for any but his own work.
HE told me story demonstrating this
most clearly His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold, Valparaiso" was in the Hill
collection in Brighton. Mr.. Hill had
two galleries and a well known collec-
ton, eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler went down to see Mr.. Hill,
and said he:

of course took chair and sat looking
at my beautiful "Nocturne." Then, as
there was nothing else to do, went

curiosities In the Museum of the
Town of Sehramberg.
In the town of Schramberg, in the
Black Forest district of Wurttemberg,
Germany, where one of the chief in
dustries is clockmaking, there is an
interesting museum of timepieces. The
COLLECTION displays the gradual develop
ment in the making of clocks for many
centuries
Among the curiosities are many of
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1850 for the use of travellers. In form
1t resembles lantern, and the interior
is designed to hold lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed forward
by spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
Of shears clip the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
its light The lantern is inclosed with
movable slides, so that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm is set by inserting a peg
In the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives the alarm is
sounded, and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosities is a Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending a
saw formed strip of metal, the teeth Of
which operate the wheel of the clock
work. In another japanese clock the
hand is attached to weight, which
sinks once in twenty-four hours The
time is indicated by a hand on the
perpendicular scale.

The SiIkworm.

Upon attaining full growth the silk
worm becomes restless, stops feeding
and throws out silken threads. The
silk is formed in a fluid condition and
issues from the body of the worm in a
glutinous state, apparently in a single
thread. From this silk the worm con-
structs its cocoon, an interval of from
three to five days being required to
complete its Imprisonment in the en-
yelope. In order that the silken strands
may not be subjected to the danger of
breakage by the moth emerging from
the cocoon. the cocoons are steamed
till the inclosed insects are dead. After
this the silk may be wound off.-New

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware,


Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating of various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece, as In
our electroplating process. Moreover,
the plating was done on copper, while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed of an amalgam of copper, nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, it LIZ possible for the
collector to secure examples OF early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value Of silver
ware of that period make its acquisi-
ton extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically is as worthy
of a place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.
In 1742 one Thomas Bolsover OF
Sheffield, England, described In the
histories as an ingenious mechanic"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing knife. He began
experimenting, seeking for method OF
plating copper with silver for the man
ufacture of small articles. In 1743, to-
gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up q
factory for the manufacture of buc-
kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold Of the
secret and, perfecting 1t, demonstrated
that it was possible to initiate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling in Sheffield, he started
the manufacture of all sorts of domes-
tic pieces. Beginning modestly with
horsepower, he later added water pow
er for the rolling process. Other man
ufacturers followed his example, and
Sheffield plate soon began to replace
pewter on the tables of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
of twenty-three important manufactur-
ers Of this ware.
The industry dourished until the
middle of the nineteenth century, and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or invented by
a medical student of Rotterdam, near
Sheffield, and the new process was
patented on March 25, 1910. By 1850
the new ware was on the market ev-
erywhere, and the industry had been
revolutionized.- Life In Amer

The Board of Freeholders at the meet
ing tomorrow will discuss the proposition
to build an addition to the Almshouse.
The recommendation to erect a building
that will cost $12, 900, seems to meet with
favor, yet 1t has not been shown that such
expenditure is at all warranted, and there
is certainty that cheaper building will
answer all requirements. 1t is perfectly
natural for those In charge to want an i'm
proved building with better sanitary regu-
lations, but there is no need to go to great
expense merely to crafty personal desires.
The committee from the State Charities
Aid Society. which agitated this subject SO
that it was given favorable consideration,
plainly stated that costly building was
not needed, and since the plans have been
prepared have endorsed the former state
ment and expressed the opinion that the
cost of the proposed extension might be
materially reduced. 1t will be just as well
to take several conditions into consider
alton on this as well as other matters that
will be brought up at the meeting tomor-
row. It will do no harm to remember
that the tax rate must not be increased too
greatly this year, and In this connection it
will be well to bear 10 mind that the recent
decision on the assessment .of bank stock
win very materially reduce the amount of
ratables In this county.
