AN UNUSUAL HOBBY.
As Yet There Are Few Collectors of
Old Gilt Articles.

from Inc queen.
In all my hunting after old gilt articles
have never met any one else who was
on the same uest. Not only that. but
they are few and far between who seem
to know anything about it.
AS rule each piece is very much dis
colored and in no way inviting to those
who are not interested in this particular
hobby: then again it is often a lottery
buying anything when the things are
perfectly coated with brown and sooty
substance without gimmer of gold
showing.
If the price is low enough there is not
much harm done: but II requires very
diplomatic person TO negotiate really
successful purchase in these keen business
times. All the old gilt articles are well
coated with eighteen carat gold. so that
when once thoroughly clean they do not
tarnish for years.
The method in old days for gliding
metal was to amalgamate pure gold with
quicksilver by boiling the gold In SIX
times its weight of quicksilver. then t
was squeezed through chalnois leather
when il became like stiff clay in sub
stance, in which state it is the most con-
ven!ent for being weighed into suitable
portions of the number of articles to be
gilded. Before this substance Will attach
itself to metal objects solution OF her-
curry is absolutely necessary (cailed by
operatives quick water'): TO this ANAL
gamated surface mercury and gold ANAL
gam closely adhere.
The articles are put into deep earth
en- pan (glazed), with little quick water
and amalgam: the whole is then well
stirred with either brush or stick until
each piece is we'll coated with the ANAL
gam. After drying with warm sawdust
the articles are put into a gliding cage.
which is inclosed in red hot iron cyl
inder and made very secure.
IF the articles are to have dull or
oxidized effect they- are kept in the cage
longer and occasionally taken out 10 be
shaken together. which causes the dull
effect This shaking together process
is called heightening. Steel and iron
articles are gilded by being immersed in a
mixture of nitromuriate of gold with
sulphuric ether or alcohol By combining
these LIQUIDS a solution Of gold is formed
from which the metal il precipitated by
iron and steel.

Last Week.

Striving to start the. work of the Play
grounds Association for 1910 with a sat
isfying bunch of simoleons in the treas
ury, about two dozen doughty amateur
athletes gathered in National Base Ball
Park yesterday afternoon and gave a
demonstration of several different ways in
which the great American game can be
played. Eighteen players are said to be
the usual number sufficient to make up
two full teams. There were two dozen
ball tossers in this particular contest, be-
cause not all the starters were able to
go the full route.

with the victory in comparatively easy
fashion, the score at the end of the game
being Chamber of Commerce, IA; knights

All the runs made by the winners were
scored in the first four innings. After
that several good chances to tally were
thrown away because Of apparently in
tentionally careless work on the bases.

Odors.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
No substance that refuses TO dissolve
in water has an odor. For it is the actual
substance itself floating in particles il
the air that appeals to the nose, and no,
simply vibration of the air, as in the
case Of light and sound. The damper a
thing is the more powerful the odor il
gives off. The fragrance of wet over
coats in a church Of a rainy Sunday even
ing is a case in point. A pleasanter proof
of the fact can be had by walking in u
garden after a rain.
But there is no end to the curiosities of
smell. 1t is. for Instance. the vapor of a
liquid that smells, and rot the liquid in
the mass itself. If can de cologne be
poured into the noStril the nose refuses
10 recognize any odor there at ali. IL is.
by the way. not in the nostril that the
sense of smell lies, bat in the upper
third of the nose. There the red lining
of the nostril changes into brown and be-
comes much more sensitive.

Then thre clean doubles, their first and
