coIors Give Up Their Secrets.


The famous blue color given to the
porcelain manufactured at Sevres has
long been believed to be the result of
a secret process, and many legends
exist about it. 1t has, however, been
recently shown that it is a mistake
to suppose that Sevres blue cannot be
produced elsewhere. AS a matter Of
fact, it is produced in many French
potteries, where sufficient care is Ia
ken and where pure oxid of cobalt is
used Formerly it was difficult to
procure this article without impuri-
ties, which injured the color; but
chemical science has overcome all the
difficulties. The same is true of the
Chinese green known as celadon. 1t
was invented in China, but 1t can be
perfectly reproduced elsewhere.-Har

p II MID-NEW YORK they are Work
ing out a many sided problem IN
destructive and constructive en-
cheering as gigantic in these days
of big achievements as was the
aging of the blocks of the Pyramids
on the sands of Egypt
Proud monuments of the older New
York, which for years were pointed
out as show places, are being blotted
but that greater wonders in architec-
ture may rise from new made beds
deep dug in the city's rocky back. In
time they count three years or more
too little to carry the work through;
in money it will be millions-$300,0 600,
300 for one local Improvement!
This change is being wrought be-
tween Forty-second and Fiftieth
streets and Lexington and Madison
avenue 1t is a railroad terminal prob,
lem primarily, but nowadays 6 rail
road station is not simply place
where one buys tickets and takes the
cars-it is a center, heart of munich
pal pulsations and within it's zone
there must be everything suggested
by the center, after the manner of the
side shows around the Tapping canvas
on the circus grounds.
The Grand Central station lost its
grandeur and it had to come down
Likewise the entire terminal scheme
became pathetically out of date; also
the SOB accommodation and the 500
suburban and the sos express were
forever engaged In who's who con
troversy on the question of right OF
way. And there were other annoy
ances, too. So the problem became
one of jumping from a quarter OF a
century behind the times to quarter
of a century in advance of things as
they are. 1t is being worked out-at
a cost in excess of the entire cost OF
the original railroad which made the
first Grand Central possible.
Just now it is digging problem. A
channel is being dug in the rock from
Forty-second street north to Fiftieth
street as deep and as wide as the
Panama canal cut, and over its lower
end there wiz arch a terminal build
ing of such grand proportions as to
make the old structure appear insig
nificant. This will be the keystone OF
the general improvement. On each
side of this building will rise two
others, each larger than the old sta
ton in it's entirety. They will con
form to the general scheme of archi

$50. 00O, 900 Considerable part of the
work has already been done and paid

carrying forward the work still to be

The Supreme Test.

Most youngsters have their own
ideas of greatness, as they have of
everything else that comes within
their reach. To boys mind, battle
is all sound and fury; the hero of the
fight is the one who has inspired
most fear among the enemy. Among
the stories told by Mr.. Harvey in his
book, Irish Life and Humor," there
is one relating to Lord WolseIey aft
er his return to England from service
in India
Wolseley. who is fond OF children,
was once introduced to a boy four
years old The child gazed at the gen.
eral with an expression half-incredu-
lous, and then said:
Are you the Wolseley that fought
in the battles?"
Eyes, was in a good many battles, -
said the noble lord.
The youngster looked at him in
wondering silence, and then said.
Lets hear you holler!" -Youth's
Companion.

A curiosity of great antiquity Is still

says an English magazine. This is
quaint speaking trumpet with an OBJ
scure early history. dating back to the
times of the Knights Tenr!ars. In
shape it resembles French horn and
Is more than FIVE feet long, having
bell at the end Of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet i'll length, but
Is now telescoped at the joints, where
the metal has apparently decayed.
Tradition declares it was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid in case Of need, as when blown
at q height the weird. deep notes the
trumpet produced could be heard a
great distance away in bygone days.
It is believed that this curious instru-
ment has often been used to call to-
gether the villagers, thus dispensing
with the usual hell, and to give addi
tional power and strength to the choir
being then probably used by the chie1
singer, as the trumpet intensifies voca
sound to d marked degree.

Rare Peruvian Ware.

Vessels of odoriferous clay were im-
ported early in the sixteenth century
from Peru. Chile and Mexico by the
Portuguese merchants, to which were
given the name of buccaros. So highly
was this ware esteemed that only the
wealthiest collectors could afford to
possess entire specimens. Broken
pieces were set in gold or silver or
ground to powder to be used to scent
cakes anI confections and to perfume
gloves and handkerchiefs. 1t was also
supposed to possess medicinal prop
critics and was prescribed by contem-
porary physicians for certain all
ments The great demand for the
buccaros resulted in the alleged dis
covery of scented clays in Portugal
and the potters of the time used them
to fashion all sorts of drinking ves-

Cleanliness.
The advice commonly given in poul-

ficts upon the poultry keeper more
labor than need be. 1t is all right for
the fancier. who sells his birds for
high prices and whose profits depend
largely upon the impression his plant
makes upon the visitor. to sweep the
floors of his chicken house with as

Of living probably dates from the
time Adam paid so dearly for a bite
Of apple. At a later date. according to
the Westminster Gazette. the retail
butcher of France grew very arrogant,
and it says that the present increased
price OF meats has caused the exam
ination OF the records in order to trace
the origin of the trouble there. In 1870
a decree was issued which suggests
that butchers were carrying things
with a high hand. 1t says: butchers
are expressly enjoined not to Ill treat
