THE LACE OF VENICE.
An Ancient Industry That Was Rsviv.
"a By Queen Maraheeita.

An Ancient Industry That Was Reviv.
ID BY Queen Marshsrita.
The lace OF Venice has been celebrat-
I'd for many centuries. II was made
originally by nuns within the walls
Of converts for ecclesiastical garments.
Then, with the fall Of the Venetian
republic, the converts were closed and
the lace industry ceased to exist for
an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita, aft
erward queen Of Italy. took measures
to revive It. especially a. . means Of
providing employment for Venetian
women. At present there are several
schools, subsidized by the government,
In which the art Is taught
The pupils are women Of all ages.
Each sits on a low stool and holds q
plump. square cushion In her lap. On
this cushion Is pinned a strip Of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
ed. and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads. From twenty to ffty shuttles
depend from all sides of the cushion.
and these are thrown across and back
with the rapidity Of a typist handling
the keys Of her machine.
The process looks so simple that It
looks like play, but the lace produced
represents thousands OF dollars. The
simple laces grow rapidly under the
dexterous fingers OF the women, but
the exquisite rose point and other SINH
lar sorts are evolved much more slow.

AUTOMOBILE CATCHES
FIRE IN GARAGE
Car Belonging TO J. F. Sanders Par
tally oestroyed-Fire Extin-
Guishers Were Empty.

A car belonging to J. F. Sanders
was partially burned from back fire
following a cranking at noon today
The fire department was called and
both the Tenth and Sixth street re-
sponded. The blaze had been e1tin-
guished, however. when they arrived.
One of the employees was cranking
the car and back fire started the
blaze. From the density of the smoke
it appeared as If the garage had
caught. but. when the car was gotten
out OF the building, it was found that
no other damage had been done. A
curious thing developed when en-
ployes OF the garage tried TO put the
fire out with fire extinguishers and
found them empty. They were able.
however, by other means to quickly
stop the blaze.
When the department arrived but a
few minutes after the call, the crowd
around the garage was so thick that
had it been necessary to put the hose
into play to get to the Ere.
