company and executed certain scale 1t is
a simple matter to reproduce the lines of this
drawing in rattan, to speak, on an enlarged
scale.
Having thus made the outlines of the picture

carpenter drives short intervals along the rat
tan a series of little nails. Upon each nail is
to be put small cylinder, quarter OF an inch
in diameter and three inches long, loaded with
colored fire composition. When this opera

and with his pencil marks upon the latticework
the different colors, red" green blue, etc.,

design. In obedience to these indications the
loaded cylinders, which may number thousands,
are stuck upon the nails subsequently by skilled
