Coloring Billiard Balls Red.

From La vulgarisation Scientffque
It often happens that red billiard balls
more or less completely lose their color
and then present a disagreeable appear
ance. But nothing is easier than to re-
store their original color. To do this
dissolve some dried sorrel, after having
pounded and sifted 1t to assure solution.
In small quantity OF water placed in a
porcelain capsule large enough to take a
billiard ball. Heat this liquid till 1t is
tepid only. and add as a mordant about
ten drops of sulphuric acid. Put the ball
to be colored in the capsule and leave 1t
there about three-quarters Of an hour, on
the corner of q stove. the temperature not
being allowed to exceed from forty de-
grees to fifty degrees centigrade. At the
end of that time take 1t away from the
fire and let II cool.
The operation Is complete in from two
to three hours. Care must be taken to
turn the billiard ball from time to time.
SO that 1t may be cclorcd all over. for
the coloring matter is deposited and the
part Of the ball at the bottom would be
too deeply colored.
When the ball Is withdrawn from the
liquid it only requires wiping and then
rubbing strongly with a woollen rag to
make 1t brilliant again. 1t may be fur.
ther polished by means OF chamois leather
impregnated with colcothar.

Ancient Paper Money.
From Harper's Weekly.


Paper money-properly guaranteed-is
now generally recognized throughout the
world as the most satisfactory and con-
venient form Of currency. 1t is not, how
ever, as is very generally supposed. a
comparatively modern idea.
Venice. was the first person to announce
to Europe the existence of paper money
in China under the moguls. 1t was subse-
quently introduced by the moguls into
Persia, where their notes were called
djaou, or djaw, a word evidently derived
from the Chinese word schaio, signifying
"a want Of specie"
The fact of the moguls having. in China
and Persia. made use of paper money. has
induced the belief that they were the orig
inators Of 1t. But in the history Of
nasty in China, published in the year 1720.
the author speaks OF the suppression of
the paper money, which was in use under
the dynasty of the Soung. who reigned in
China previous to the mQguls: and he also
mentions a new species Of notes which
were substituted for the old in the year
1854.
The original financial speculation Of the
Chinese ministry to provide for the ex-
traordinary expenditures of the state,
which were exceeding the revenues. was in
troduced the phi-pi. or value in skins.
These were small pieces of the skin OF
deer, which were kept In a pen, within
the palace walls. They were Chinese
square foot in size, and were beautifully
ornamented with painting and embroid-
cry. The price of those skins was fixed
at a sum equal to about $65.

Realism and the Actors Art.


If the press agent is to have his way
our actors in the future must prove .
fitness for their tasks by previous ex-
perience along the lines the various roles
suggest. Hereafter no blushing demoiselle
need expect to be trusted with the role
the responsibility Of leading q stage child
along the road that leads to virtue and
the spotlight. unless she, the actress, has
already qualified as wife and mother.
These are the days Of realism In the
drama. For while II was enough to
have real pumps squirting. real water on
the Ytage. But the artistic conscience
grew by what 1t fed on, and these sim.
pie things will suffice no longer. In the
old degenerate days an English-speak-
ing actor who could go on and play an
man the next, was thought to have
proved his versatility. Out of the de-
sire for realism grew the practice OF
casting the real foreigner for such parts.
But what becomes OF the art OF acting
under such a scheme? Fortunately, we
still have an occasional artist 70 prove
that the imitation Is better than ths
genuine on the stage.
Where will the new discoveries Of tho
press agent end? II the actress must
be wife and mother before she can do
stincts on the n:.-aic scene. 10 It not
reasonable to suppose that we shall
come in time to have no Hamlets ave
those who have really stood within the
shadow OF the throne? With royalty go-
ing out OF fashion. perhaps Il II but q
natural arrangement to md new ocou.
patton for deposed monarchs.

Mangka Fruit Of Malay Archipelago

From the New York Herald.
The fruit called mangka in the Mala,
archipelago hangs on short stems and
grows directly out of the thicker woody
parts of the tree, which. to begin with.
is a surprising sight to US North country
men.
Often in the leather-like rind Of the
fruit are found hundreds Of seeds about
the size of a pigeons egg. surrounded by
a not particularly tender mesocarp. Many
are the opinions about the flavor of this
latter. It seems to me peculiar and aro-
matte. The people of Java and Malaysia
appear to be very fond OF 1t. judging by
the quantities Of this fruit consum I'd.
The wood of the mangka tree is also
greatly esteemed. The root especially is
utilized for wood carving. At first rather
pale, it later resembles mahogany in
color.
