 He simply slammed the doors. Johnny's moneys gone forever,

A Delicate Bit of Work.

To transfer an old oil painting to a new canvas is a branch of art that cails for a unison of mechanical skill and talent. There are not many men in the business. It is an entirely dis tinct work from renovating cracked or mutilated painting. Transferring a painting from an old canvas to new one requires years of experience to ac- complish the simplest part of it. After the picture has been removed from it's frame several layers of fine tissue pa- per are pasted firmly across the sur face. When the paper is dry the back of the canvas is made thoroughly wet. Thread by thread it is picked away until nothing remains but the paint, which is fast to the tissue paper. A new canvas is then mounted and glued to the back of the picture. When the glue is dry the tissue paper is mois- tened and gently removed from the surface. A little cleaning and retouch- ing by a. skilled hand make the work complete.

 years. MT. Skidmore's only son, Louis | P. Skidmore, an artist, sailed with his

A Terror to Orators.

A speaker in the house of commons has to address "the most chilling. nerve destroying audience in the world" Even such cool headed, sea soned orator as John Bright once said. toward the end of his career, too. "l suppose ought to be ashamed of my self. but the fact is that l never rise in the house without trembling at the knees and secret wish that some body else would catch the speakers s eye and enable me to sit down again. And Disraeli, who boasted that he had ID nerves, declared: 'sThe blare of trumpets, thousand lookers-on. have induced men to lead forlorn hope. Ambition and ones constituents have induced men to do a far more desper- ate thing-speak in the house of com mons.''-London Mail.

What There Is In One Ton of Coal.

What There Ia In One Ton of Coal.
 From one ton of ordinary gas coal may be produced 1,5OO pounds of coke, 20 gallons of ammonia water and 140 pounds of coal tarh By distiIlation the coal tar will yield 69.6 pounds of pitch, IT pounds of creosote, IA pounds of heavy oils, 9.5 pounds of naphtha yell low. 6.3 pounds of naphthalene, 4.75 pounds naphtol, 2.25 pounds alazarin, 2.4 pounds solvent naphtha, 1.5 pounds phenol, 1.2 pounds aurine. II pounds benzine, II pounds of aniline, orr of pound toluidine, O.46 of pound of an- thracite and O9 of a pound toluene. From the latter is obtained the sub stance known as saccharine, which Is 230 times as sweet as the best cane sugar, one part of it giving a very sweet taste to 1000 parts of water If a ton of coal be used in this way there is a bigger profit in it than if 1t be sold for burning in range.-New York World.
