TRY THIS CHEMICAL GARDEN
Extremely Pretty Ornament May Be
Made at Small Cost and Little
Trouble.

II is very easy to secure a most
charming effect by the formation of a
chemical garden. The best kind Of
receptacle is a glass vessel of some
kind or other. and on the whole there
is nothing better for the purpose than
a globe such as is commonly employed
for gold fish.
All that need be purchased are cou-
pie OF ounces of sulphate of copper, a
few pieces of aluminium. a handful Of
iron nails and finally tin of water
glass" This latter substance is, Of
course, extensively used for preserv-
ing eggs.
The first step is to arrange an inch
or so of sand in the bottom of the
globe. Then place the sulphate of
copper. the aluminium and the iron
nails on the layer. The different min
erals should be well mixed up to-
gether
A solution of the water glass should
now be prepared, taking one part Of
this material to three parts of plain
water. Mix we'll by means of continu-
Gus stirring with a stick The next
thing to do is to pour the solution of
water glass over the minerals; the
actual quantity of the liquid employed
will depend upon the size of the glass
vessel. but it may be mentioned that
in depth the solution should not be
less than four inches.
The globe is now placed aside where
it will not be disturbed for a week. At
the end of this time it will be seen
that most beautiful growth. in al
most all conceivable colors, has start
ed up from the minerals. This growth,
of course, represents the silicates of
the various substances. Most people
will be astonished at the beautiful eff
feet which is secured.
The final step consists in clearing
away the water glass. This must be
carried out with great care as many
of the growths are of fragile descrip-
tion. Probably the best plan is to take
the globe to tap and very gently run
water into the vessel until the con-
tents look quite clear.
Naturally after this has been done
the growths win appear to even finer
advantage than they did vixen first of
all observed. The chemical garden
will now last for a long while if it is
not disturbed by frequent moving
about.

VIRGINIA PEARSON
 AT LION TODAY

A picture of Things As They Are" comes very near expressing the story of 'The Writing on the Wall" for every scene is a reminder of real life-life today as it is in a big city. Presented on the stage it was Olga NethecsOle's great Broadway success and the screen version. with Joseph Kilsour and Virginia Pearson in the leading roles, it is more forceful than the stage presentation for the reason that the fire scenes can be produced in a more realistic fashion on the screen. The story deals with a rich man, an owner of many tenement houses, eVading the law in regard to fire regulations, having some buildings With fire escapes painted on the walls. In one of these his own son is trapped by flames. The screen version of The Writing On the Wall' is q Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, released on the V. L. s. E. service, and the cast supporting Mr kilgour and Miss Pearson is composed of some of their best players including Naomi Childers, Robert Gaillard and littie Robbie Connolly. The Writing On the Wall' will be shown at the Lion theater today and tomorrow, with special orchestra music at night Sh 9WS
