mental at that time! and the mines were
so delicately adjusted that n number OF
premature explosions occurred. As we
gained experience, however. this defect
was remedied and there were compare :

Moorish and Arabic Rugs.

The art of rug weaving is said to
have been taught the Venetians by
the Arab conquerors of Spain. Moor
ish rugs are still woven by the de-
scendants Of this race who live out
side the Spanish border. Arabic rugs
are woven In the simplest patterns,
and In straight lines and very bright
colors. The patterns often resemble
those of the log cabin quilt Of our
grandmothers. While the figures in
oriental rugs each have their own
meaning, we must not forget that ev-
cry color has its own Significance as
well, which varies In different coun-
tries, just as the figures do. In an
