Eary Wall Decorations

ToI1 lllt LOnuOH 'glOps.
 Probably the earliest wall paintings are the ancient Egyptian. They employed a dstemper containing dissolved gum, and their principal pigments were white chalk a vegetable yellow, ochres, Ethiopian cln- nabar. blue powdered glass stained with copper and charcoal black. Their drawing was technically skillful. and, as is the case with the modern decorator. theii coloring was purely decorative and their designs fanciful and extravagant
 The walls of Assyrian and Babylonian dwellings were treated in much the same way, and the practice of painting on walls coated with plaster was certainly in vogue in Assyria.
 It flas been believed also that the Greeks understood true fresco work, apparently on the strength of phrase occurring in Plutarch. Ito paint on a wet ground. vitruvius also speaks of a wet ground and says that colors placed upon a surface so prepared are permanent-which certain ly is characteristic of true fresco.

PLANS OF SOUTHERN IRON AND STEEL CO. Reorganization Schemes Said to Be Progressing
 in New York

Plans for recognizing the Southern Iron and Steel company are progressing in New York, and it is said by those con- versant with the affairs of the concern, that the new company will start off with excellent prospects. The New York Com mercial of Saturday says:
 "The Southern Iron and Steel com pany is to be reorganized alone without the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, with which merger had beea planned. The reorganization committee l says that because of the recent appoint | ment of a receiver for the Alabama Con- solidated and the default on its bonds 1, the merger is impossible.
 "A new company is to be organized. The stock is to be held in trust for five years. The southern's security holders are to receive It's stock. the noteholders receiving par for par. the bondholders 50 per cent of their bond holdings and the debenture holders 20 per cent of their holdings. The only right given to the stockholders of the southern is the right to purchase for cash the stock of the new company"
 
 he had read the above, pointed out the ordinary creditor must not be confused with the noteholder. There are s6O0000 of outstanding notes secured by s1,000.000 of bonds The new plan of reorganization proposes to give. these noteholders s600,- 900 of new stock or par m stock for their potes This will be equivalent, 1t Is ex- plained, to having them first convert their bonds into ownership and then receive 60 cents in stock or the bonds It Is understood that the plan provides for the continuous operation of the com pany's plants, and calls for the payment of all common creditors in cash at par in regular course of business, which it is said the company can easily do, as by Nthis settlement 1t would have an excess of about $500,000 of quick assets over all current liabilities. The companys credit. It is further said, would be greatly inl- proved as the property would be clear a nd the bond issue cancelled. The cred it,rs would have the full benefit of the va sue of all the property of the cont pauy
