Gliding.

The method of gliding picture frame or other similar surface, is as follows: The wood is first given g coat of oil paint. and from four to ten coats of fine whiting mixed with fine glue are put on. eacs in its turn being smoothed with fine sandpaper This done, a coat of gold-size is given to those parts which are not to be burnished, but those which are. re. seive only coating of clear animal size. The gold leaf Is then laid on, and furnished where desired. In- stead of real gold leaf, Dutch metal which is simply copper beaten like gold-leaf. is sometimes used, as is also the so-called gold paint, which is finely powdered brsss or sinilar alloy mixed with size.

Queer sights on Cars.

You see some queer sights on the
street cars here, writes New York
correspondent. Today well-dressed
woman boarded a Madison avenue
car, carrying a peculiar looking square
tin box suspended from a leather
handle. Just as she sat down the car
gave jolt-the lid few off the tin
box and out shot a streak of blurred
gray and brown fur. Rats" called a
cheerful man. A dozen shrieks pierced
the air and "a pairs of the latest style
shoes climbed up on the seats. But
it wasn't rat after ALT was a
squirrel. He went tearing down the
car, scurried up the new spring suit
of woman in the corner and made
the return trip over the hats of the
astonished passengers. Then he dis
appeared. Finally small boy crawled
under the seat and restored the squir-
rel to its owner. "My baby! My
baby!' cried the owner Of the tin box
as she kissed her pet ecstatically. The
car stopped at Forty-third street. A
woman stood grasping the rather
foot on the lower step. rs this the
regular Madison avenue carp she
asked anxiously. NO." said the con-
ductor scornfully, "it's the nut special

AS TO SPECIFIC GRAVITY"
Earliest Record of Its De-
termination.

Parents who may be asked to ex-
plain what is meant by specific
gravity" might do worse than tell the
classical tale of the earliest record Of
it's determination, in connection with
a kings crown. You will recall how
"a couple of centuries or so before
the Christian era-Hiero, king of
Syracuse, commissioned a goldsmith
to make him a new crown out of a
certain weight Of pure gold. He was
rogue of smith, but not cunning
enough to bamboozle the greatest of
the Greek mathematician.
For when the finished product ar
rived the king expressed to Archi-
medes a fear that it might contain an
admixture of base metal. To test the
matter, Archimedes put the crown
into a vessel brimful of water Into
similar. vessel he put an equal
weight of pure gold. The latter
caused smaller overflow of water
than did the crown, and the correct
conclusion was drawn that the crown
contained some baser land lighter
metal. The smith saw the gravity OF
the matter in more ways than one.

FINDS POSITION OF PIPES
What Might Be Called Plumbers "De.
tective" Has Been Proved OF
Great Value.

Piping of various kinds such as gas,
water, steam heating, vacuum clean
ing or compressed air, is often con-
cealed within walls, generally under
plaster, but when it comes to making
repairs or replacing such pipes, their
exact position cannot always be found
without doing considerable damage to
the wall.
A recently patented electric meth
cd for locating the pipes is simply q
special application of the well-known
Induction balance principle. A con-
venient apparatus is made up con-
sisting Of two sets of coils placed on
ends Of a magnet bar. One set Of
coils receives alternating or vibra-
tory current from a suitable source,
and the other coils are connected to
a telephone.
The balance is first established so
that no sound is heard in the tele-
phone. When the device comes near
the metal piping, this disturbs the
balance and sound is heard. It is
thus an easy matter to find the exact
position of the pipes and to reach
them with less damage to the wall.

shells were full of small white mag
gots. But 81 eggs were apparent
ly good. and just on the point OF
Matching. But some time between the
sixth and the eleventh a skunk found
this nest also, and ate everything in it
live turtles, dead and decaying tur-
ties, unmatched eggs, added eggs and
maggots. 1t must be admitted that the
skunk seems to lack those discriminate
ing niceties of taste that mark the
true epicure.
Thus Of the six nests on this beach,
containing probably ESQ eggs. not a
single young turtle survived to reach
the water, and if any of them had es-
capped the land risks. no doubt another
set of dangers awaited them In the
stream. However, any large increase
in the. snapper" population would
mean the humiliation of all forms OF
aquatic life, and in view Of their de-
structive habits and their singularly
unattractive personality. we can con-
template their fate with small regret.

Spoonful. or Spoons Full.

Certain purists have risen in pro-
test against Three Spoonfuls." They
maintain that the Criterion poster
should announce Three Spoons Full"
The male partner in the writing Of the
play always took this latter view.
But the advertisement side doubtless
saw the possibilities Of strictly
grammatical quarrel. All the same it
might have done even better with
Three Spoons Full" as arousing the
furious comment of the amateur
pedant.
The doctor orders us three spoon
fuls," but he does not mean that we
should employ three spoons in the
simple measurement. You may en-
ploy twenty if it does not occur to
you that one is enough. And as the
more logical lady of the Criterion
plays hints, if say I've had only
three mouthfuls for scrappy dinner
/ do not imply that had three mouths
full-of my own or Of others.

A Star Legend.

Ursa Major, the Greater Bear, as
the constellation has been known in
widely separated parts Of the world,
has many interesting stories connect
ed with it. One recently brought to
light is the Indian legend of the bear
and the hunters. AS pictured by the
red men, the bowl of the Dipper is
the bear and the stars in the handle
are some of the hunters in pursuit.
In the spring the bear comes out of
the den in the hills and the chase
begins. All summer it continues un-
til at last in the autumn the bear
is wounded and falls so close to the
earth that it's body drags along the
horizon, tinting the leaves with its
blood soon after sunset. Through
out the early hours Of the winter
evening the dead bear is seen be-
meath the pole by the imaginative
red men of the North.-Southern Won.

KNEW HIS WORLD OF FICTION
Hauptmann Wrote From Experiences
Which He Had Gathered In
His Own Life.

Hauptmann in one of his many
phases may be regarded as the Murger
of Germany, said Andre Tridon in a
recent lecture on the German novelist
and playwright. No less than six of
Hauptmann's dramas have for their
subject the struggles of artists and
writer's before they ARRIVE" or resign
themselves to obscurity. Lonely
Lives" "The Sunken Bell" Michael
Kramer" "The Rats" Colleague
Champion" and Gabriel Schilling's
Flight" present to us gallery of types
infinitely richer than those in LA Vie
de Boheme."
Hauptmann knew the bohemian lifo
from experience; he had studied art
in Breslau, opened sculptor's studio
in Rome, spent many hours with the
young revolutionists who wrote for Die
Gesellschaft and received them in his
Ergner home.
He delighted in depicting those peo-
pie at war with their own environment,
finding no happiness in their art that
disappointed them, in their married
life nor in their extra-matrimonial ad.

ness: in fact we find in them an un.
dercurrent Of humor and satire. Haupt.
mann knows how the world ought to
be, but he recognizes the tremendous
fact of the world as 1t happens to be.
The memory of his own struggles does
not blind him to the ridiculous side Of
the artist constantly hampered by his
unpleasant affectations.

There is a skeleton in the closet.
How often we hear this expression.
But do you know how 1t is supposed

There is an old story tina; soldier

to get some sewing done by someone
who had no care or trouble. Coming
in her search to one who she thought
must be content and happy. this wom-
an took her to closet containing a
human skeleton.

my sorrows to myself, but know that
every night am compelled by my
husband to kiss this skeleton Of him
who was once his rival. Think you.
then, l can be happy"
The answer Is just as obvious to-
day. The skeleton is still a depress-
ing object.
