A NY piece of REAL ESTATE can be

Every owner would like TO sell for more

Of course, property is worth the most it

Generally, property is sold for the most

The finding of that person is the import

Industrial Arts In America.

Sir Casper Purdon Clarke, who is an Englshman
both by of birth and in conventional spirit, and
who now occupies the position of Director OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, returned from Europe
not long ago with the startling assertion, considering
whence it came that with reasonable chance America
would lead the world in every phase of industrial art.
He cited Watches the most delicate of mechanical in
struments as being an American triumph He could
buy better watch for fifty dollars in this country, he
said, than he could purchase for one hundred dollars
either in Switzerland in England; and in every city
in the two European countries mentioned the American
tmepiece has enormous sale where fifty years
ago these two nations exported practically every good
watch that was sold in the United States. We all
know this but he told of other things that have not as
vet become common knowledge They make better
brocades in Patterson, said this eminent authority
than they do in France The carpets that come from
New Jersey equal any that made in Europe today
and there is pottery that comes from cut own West
that better for the price paid for it than any that
the old world can produce.

Europe has had centuries of time to develop before we

RUNNING THE RHEA.
Relative of Ostrich Chased With Dos
and Horse.

For the person who desires q
unique form OF sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
commended. The rhea Is a member
Of the ostrich family, but someShdI
smaller. 1t runs with the swiftness
of a greyhound or fast horse and
has a knack Of dolbling on it,
track, which often serves it in elud-
ing its pursuers. The natives in
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
bola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full cry, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared TO throw the bola if op-
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting Of two or
three heavy balls Of lead or stone
attached to a thong six or eight
feet long, serves TO hamper the
movements Of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless Of
whether il be the legs, neck or
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach of danger the
rhea will often crouch flat upon the
ground with neck outstretched un-
der the grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowing against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case the dogs soon discover the hid
ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bewildered BY the sudden failure Of
its artless ruse, it makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase of the rhea, which
sometimes extends over a distance
of five or six miles, is thrilling
one. 1t has for the rider all the ex-
citement of horse race, with the
added satisfaction Of knowing that
the winning of the race will result
in a welcome addition TO the larder.
The wings of the rhea have a favor
not unlike that Of turkey, and il
one Is not ayerse to the taste OF
