Most Famous of Thrones.

The peacock throne formed part Of
the interior decoration of a costly
building in Delhi, the ancient capital
of the Mogul empire in India. The
throne had the figures of two peacocks
standing behind 1t, their tails expand
ed and the whole so inlaid with sap
phires, rubies, emeralds, pearls and
other precious stones as to represent
real peacock plumage. The throne,
valued at several million dollars, was
carried off by invading armies and now

scale insect living on cacti in the Amer

qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is en-
ployed in coloring soldiers uniforms,
as it stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae Of a Mex

quantities near Lake Texcoa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement is need

is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited In a crust
on twigs to contain the insect and its
eggs. The export value Of lac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as
high as 80. 1000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is a growing one, the en-
ployment Of lac in making dyes has
probably had its day. The best lac is
