Thus safeguarded against mschance the lone workman manipulates a machine by the help Of which he. loads two dozen roman candles at one time Into them he puss gunpowder, composition and stars successively, layer after layer, ramming down each portion of the charge after the man. her of loading an old-fashioned musket. Where candles that hold ten stars are being made the operation is somewhat complicated and hence the importance of doing many as possible at once
 Most interesting of all, perhaps, is the making of the fire pictures, the construction of which be- gins with a lattcework put together by a skilled carpenter It is made as light possible, and upon it is tackled the rattan which forms the out lines of the picture. Rattan is chosen for the purpose because it is pliable and can be bent into any sort of curves The carpenter has be- fore him drawing, made by the artist of the company and executed to a certain scale. It is a simple matter to reproduce the lines of this drawing in rattan, so to speak. on an enlarged scale.
 Having thus made the outlines of the picture in rattan upon background of lattice work, the carpenter drives at short intervals along the rat tan a series of little nails Upon each nail is to be put a small cylinder, quarter of an inch in diameter and three inches long, loaded with some colored fire composition When this opera tion has been completed the artist comes along, and with his pencil marks upon the latticework the different colors red" green" blue" etc, that are to appear in flame in various parts of the design. In obedience to these indications ths loaded cylinders, which may number thousands, are stuck upon the nails subsequently, by skilled young women. Finally all of the cylinders at tached together by quick match which is lampwick saturated with a mixture of gunpowder and starch and threaded through thin paper tube Thus when fire is set to the fuse it will run in few seconds all over the lattice work and the fire picture will be presented to view in gorgeous coiors
