The Picture In Disguise.

OF the strange vicissitudes through
which many of the worlds famous pic
lures have passed. perhaps none was
odder than that of "the Picture in
Disguise" a magnificent painting that
now adorns the residence Of Lord
Leigh in Warwickshire. England.
This remarkable picture for many
years appeared to be merely paint
ing of flowers. The floral study was,
however, finally pronounced by an
astute art dealer to be In reality a
mask for another painting. With the
permission of the owner he caused the
painting of flowers gradually to be re-
moved, whereupon there was discov-
cred underneath very fine portrait Of
Charles I. by Vandyke.
While no authentic record of this
masterpiece has been found. 1t is sup
posed that the portrait was disguised
by some royalist in order to guard
against its destruction by roundheads
during the revolution.-The Sunday
Magazine.

Theater Folk Are superstitious.

Theatrical people are proverbially
superstitious. | know Of one great
actress who never goes on the stage
without first crossing herself to insure
good luck. Some of our greatest stars
would perhaps retire from the stage II
they should lose the horseshoe which
is nailed to the lid Of one of theil
trunks, and could not get another. Mrs.
Leslie Carter always raps three times
on the wings before walking on the
stage, and she thinks this precaution
will Danish all evil influences. Wher.
Mary Anderson was on the stage she
never dared to peep through the cur
tain while the house was filling. Many
theatrical people constantly carry
around with them for luck the left
hind foot OF graveyard rabbit killed

CLOCK HANDS 20 FEET LONG.
Made Of Bridge Truss Design, OF
Manganese and Bronze, and
Weighs 100 Pounds.

On the building of a clock company
in Brooklyn just now are to be seen
the largest hands that have ever been
made for a clock. They are destined
for the tower of the Metropolitan Life
building.
Fourteen feet from the center pin
to the tip is the length Of the minute
hand, and there is six feet Of counter
poise, making a hand 20 feet over all.
The hour hand Is IL feet long.
In making a sweep around the circle
the minute hand passes three stories
of the building. When one of the
hands Is in front of window 1t Is
necessary for those working within to
cease work, owing to the hand COM
pletely shutting out light.
These hands are made OF manga
nese and bronze, and are OF bridge
truss construction. They weigh more
than LOO pounds.
Over the hands there Is covering
OF wireglass which will allow OF illu-
mination. Through each hand there
are "a electrical tubes, in pairs. When
the hands are Illuminated 1t is esti-
mated that It will be possible on a
clear night to tell the time they mark
at distance Of "a miles. They will
be about 400 feet above ground level
There is to be a clock on each Of
the four sides of the tower. There
will be 7,O00-pound bell, with ham
mer weighing ITO pounds, and four
smaller bells to strike the West
minister chimes.-New York Herald.
