Saving Time in ShipbuiIdind.

In place of using rivets to fasten the
plates and the framing of a ship to-
gether, test is being made by the
Emergency Fleet corporation, at the
Federal Shipbuilding company's yard
in Kearney, N. j., in the use of cleo
trio welding. This test is to be con-
Quoted on a 40-foot length Of a 5000
ton cargo steamship. Both spot weld
ing and continuous arc welding will
be used, the spot welding for connect
ing the frames and plates, and the arc
welding for joining the seams Of the
plates. The hull to be tested will be
filled with water and subjected to va
rious strains in order to judge Of the
strength Of the joints. Should the test
prove successful, it will result not only
IN the saving of 10 per cent of weight,
but also in great economy Of time.
1t will eliminate great deal Of work
in marking out, punching, and fitting of
the members, as well as a reduction in
the railroad transportation from the
rolling mill to the fabricating plant. 1t
is believed that the total saving will
amount to about $40 a ton Of the steel
structure.-Scientific American.

Art Works in Demand in Japan.

Fabulous prices, as far as the deal

Japan, have been paid for rare master
pieces. At the Higashi Hongwanji
sales pair of screens, with iris BIOS
SONS painted by Ogata Korin, fetched
100000 yen and created quite a SEN
sation.
At Viscount Akimoto's sale an al
bum with eight small paintings, rep
resenting eight scenes Of Shcsho, by
Keishoki, was sold for 100000 yen, and
a scroll Of Eiga Monogatari, by Nobu-
zone, fetched 10000 yen. But this
record was broken when a kakemono
Changing picture) of snow land
scape, painted by Royokai, was sold
for 100000 yen. This was again broken
when a pair of scrolls with sc poems
by Nobuzane, in Marquis Satake's col
lection, was sold for the enormous sum
of $4,000 yen. This is the greatest
amount of money paid in modern times
in Japan for a single work Of art.

like Their DESERT
Bedouin Women the PossessorS
of Savage Beauty.
1arbarlc Ornaments, With Which They
Load Themselves, Do Not Seem
Out Of PIace-Abandonino An.
cient Customs.

All the women Of the Bedouin village
came to see US, writes Elizabeth Coop
er in Asia. They had magnificent
physiques, tall and supple, and carried
themselves with stately grace. They
were dressed in long, straight cotton
gowns of blue or black, and a many
colored sash was wrapped around the
waist. The only foot coverings were
the anklets of silver that fell down
over the instep. Over their hair, which
was braided in many braids, and in
which were plated, small gold coins
that clinked unsteady as they moved
their heads, they wore wells of black
with colored border, which added to
their dignity and beauty in most
charming manner.
From the lower lip to the neck, and
lost in the coverings of the dress, were
three dark blue lines Of tattooing. This
tattooing is seen now only on the older
women, and is being thrown on the al
tar Of modernity by the daughters OF
the Bedouins who have peeped into the
like their city neighbors. The hair is
straight and black, and with many has
been given a tinge of red by washing
it In henna. saw no gray~haired wom-
en-, because those who have been
touched by the finger Of time have
been allowed by kindly custom to dye
their locks, and there were many Sam
ing heads above wrinkled faces. Hen
ma is also applied to the nails of the
fingers and toes, and the under side
of the feet and palms are not forgotten
by the Bedouin woman who has con-
served the customs Of her mother and
has not yet relegated the henna pot
to the lumber room along with the tat
tooing ink.
Great masses of jewelry were worn
by all, not the diamonds and rubies
found in the cities, but the true orna-
ments Of a barbaric people. Hoops OF
gold were in the ears-One hanging
from the top of the ear, another from
the lobe. The neck was covered with
chains formed of balls Of gold or Of
coins, and on the arms were many
bracelets. In writing coldly Of the Bed
ouin woman, her tattooing, her henna-
colored hair, her kohl-blackened eyes,
and her massive chains of gold and
anklets Of silver, it seems as if she
were still in an age Of barbarism, yet
her ornaments are becoming to her
rich coloring and she is not over
dressed. Ornaments belong to the time
and the place. and are made for these
women, who need strong settings for
their own savage beauty.

PRINTING in China,

The Chinese follow the primitive
way of printing from engraved wooE-
en- blocks. The matter to be printed
Is first written by means of ink, upon
paper which is pasted face downward
upon a block of a pear Or plum tree
After the paper becomes dry it ls
rubbed until an inverted impression Of
the characters is left. THIN the blank
spaces are cut away and the block is
turned over to the printer, who works
by hand. He takes care to ink the
characters equally and to avoid tear
ing the impression.
