Lithoqraphy.

Alois Senefelder, the discoverer
Of lithography, was poor musician
driven to many straits to find ma
terial on which to engraye his com
positions. One morning, when busy
at work, his mother asked him to
make out the bill for the washing,
and in his hurry he wrote out the
bill upon a piece of his smoothed
Kelheim stone. The stone was laid
aside, and when he saw it again the
ink was so firmly set that the posi-
bility occurred to him of an acid
which should eat away the stone
when not protected by the ink, leav-
ing the writing in relief. From that
idea was born the art Of lithography.

BERLIN's FINE STREETS.
Not Even a Scrap OF Paper Mars Their
Well Kept Pavements.

Well Kept Pavements.
He is a fortunate traveller who
enters Berlin from the west and
toward the end Of his journey rolls
along over the twelve or fifteen
miles of new streets, glides under
the Brandenburger Tor and finds
himself in Unter den Linden.
The Kaiserdamm, Bismarckstrasse,
Berlinerstrasse, Charlottenburger-
chaussee, Unter den Linden, give
the most splendid street entrance
into city in the world. The pave
ment is without a hole, without
crack and as clear Of rubbish Of any
kind as a well kept kitchen floor.
The cleanliness is so noticeable
that one looks searchingly for even
scrap of paper, for some trace Of
negligence, to modify this superb
ority over the streets Of our Ameri-
can cities. But there is no consola
ton. The superiority is SO incon-
testable that no comparison is pos
sible. For the whole twelve or
fifteen miles the streets are lined
with trees or shrubs or flowers, with
well kept grass and with separate
roads on each side for horsemen
and foot passengers. In the spring
and summer the streets are veri-
table garden.
Broadway is eighty feet wide,
Fifth avenue is 100 feet wide, the
Champs Elysees is 233 feet wide,
and Inter den Linden is 1876 feet
wide and has seventy feet Of road
way.
The streets are cleaned for the
benefit of the people and not for
the benefit of the pockets Of a po-
litical aristocracy. The public serv-
ice is a guardian, not predatory
organization. In our country when
a man can do nothing else he be-
comes a public servant. In Ger
many he can only become public
servant after severe examinations
and ample proofs Of fitness. The
superiority Of one service over the
other is moral, not merely mechan-
ical.
The street cleaning department
is recruited from soldiers who have
served their time, not over thirty
FIVE years of age, and who must
pass doctors examination and be
passed also by the police. The rules
as to their conduct, their uniforms,
their rights and their duties, down
to such minute carefulness as that
they may not smoke on duty Eek
cept when engaged in peculiarly
dirty and offensive labor" are here,
as in all official matters in Ger
many, outlined in labyrinthine de-
tail. Sickness, death, accident, are
all provided for with a pension, and
there are also certain gifts of money
for lorg service. The police and
the street cleaning department CO.
operate to enforce the law where
private companies or the city own
ed street railways are negligent in
making repairs or in replacing
pavement that has been disturbed
or destroyed. There is no escape.
