How Do the Classics Help us2

The answer lies in one little word,
art. The classics, more than any
modern literature, teach us art, and
art is the conscious purpose of man
to make this world more beautiful.
Philip Sidney says that the object OF
poetry is to make this too-much loved
world more lovely; | should extend
his definition a little further and say
that the object Of art is TO make this
world more lovely. more Iovable, and
more loved.-Henry D. Sedgwick, in

Broken Leo Set by corcrete.

4 laborer in Columbus, O., had his
broken leg partially reset by the con-
crete which had been dumped on him
from a bucket. The blow of the
bucket broke his leg, and the concrete,
flowing out, made d firm cast around
the limb. The doctors who finally
got to work on the broken bone had
first to remove the concrete, and re-
port that the cast had done its work
very we'll, even helping to reset the

REMARKABLE MACHINE
FOR LAYING TRACK

A remarkable machine by which
railroad tracks arc laid with almost
incredible rap;dity Is described in
a recent issue of the Scientific
American The machine moves
steadily forward over the track
it lays at rate of from IL to 40
feet per minute. At the rear of
the track-layihg machine are cars
loaded with ties and rails. The
cars which carry the ties are in
advan of those carrying the rails,
which are drawn forward on
rollers and are connected tenn
porariIy to one another. AS the
rails pass under the cars which
carry the ties the latter are dis
trihuted upon the rails and spaced
apart uniformly. The chain of
rails thus serves to transport the
ties toward the track-laying
machine. AS the rails enter the
machine the ties are picked up Ivy
a conveyer and carried overhead.
They are distributed on the road
bed at the end of a truss that
reaches far in advance of the main
body of the track-laying machine.
The rails in the meantime are
carried forward and deposited
upon ties previously laid. The
truss may be swung to one side or
the other in order to allow for
passing around curves. rhe track
laying machine is self-propelling.
1t hauls a train of twenty five cars
of material more or less, depend
ing upon the grade. a train of
twelve cars will carry enough
material for a mile of track.
The machine with eighteen men,
including spikers, can lay and bolt
and spike half a mile of track per
day. With larger force of men
two miles of track may be laid in
a single day.

TO RENEW FURNITURE
PIANO FINISH is GIVEN BY MANY
COATS OF VARNlSH.
Much Scraping and Sandpapering
Necessary In This Method-Cracks
and Holes Must Be Filled
With Putty.

There are various ways of removal
ing furniture. The best consists in
the application of successive coats of
varnish, each sandpapered and rubbed
to what is known as piano finish"
This method Is the finish you will find
on almost all the old mahogany of
our grandfathers' days. The first
thing, then, is to get off the dust and
dirt. and to remove every particle of
the old cracked and blackeued warm
ish from the piece Of full n1ture you
wish to renovate. To do this you will
need cabinet scraper. These scrap
ers come in various shapes and sizes,
and are made to fit the different
angles and curves of the wood to be
acraped. They may be bought for ten
OF fifteen cents. The edges are dra "
filled and ready for use. If the edge
is rounded the scraper will do no
work. If rough or nicked the wood
will be scratched and perhaps ruined.
With a good scraper you will be sur
prised and charmed to See how quick
ly and nicely you can get down to the
bare wood.
Ii there is deep carving on the
piece of furniture the operation mus,
re varied. Take wood alcohol and
with a brush or cloth apply TO every
nook and crevice. Let 1t stand for a
little while and then wipe 1t off and
scrape the wood clean as before d.
rected. The wood alcohol will soften
the varnish, so that it may be easily
removed. Care must be taken not to
allow the varnish to turn white.
Should 1t do 30 apply more of the
alcohol and wipe dry at once. If the
alcohol once reaches the wood it will
turn it white, provided it Is mahog-
any, which is the only wood on which
alcohol has this effect. . 1t merely
bleaches other woods.
The wood being cleaned the surface
must be made absolutely smooth. For
this use double sandpaper. Smooth
down all the rough spots, and fill all
the cracks and holes with putty,
which must be allowed to harden,
when 1t may be stained to match the
color of the wood. If the placing Of
the putty Is carefully done even a
] large crack or a broken piece of We.
neer may be so hidden that 1t cannot
| be seen when the work Is finished.
The wood will then be ready for
the varnish. The average amateur
cannot understand that the art of
vanishing differs very materially
from painting. Paint is better for
| rubbing In with the brush, but var
nish. because Of the rapidity in dry
! ing. must be flowed on to the work.
! The work must always lay fiat and
remain 80 until the varnish has set.
A varnish brush is fat and fairly stiff
and fine. Put plenty of varnish on
tl.s wood. avoiding too much rubbing
with the brush. 1t will settle into q
glazed surface II you have flowed
! it on evenly. ..
| AS to the varnish itself, buy the
best that can be had. Finishing var.
nish" Of good quality is what you
want. Before applying It. however,
you will find that time and expense
will be saved by putting on two coats
: OF fine white shellac, allowing each
coat to dry thoroughly for at least
| twenty-four hours. If shellac is used
only two coats of varnisb will be nee.
