LONG DEVOTED TO POTTERY
Chinese Town Has Been the Center Of
the Industry for Seventeen
l&t Hundred Years.

Seventeen hundred years ago the
Chinese potters began work in Kingte-
cheng, for the town, now one of the
largest towns In the country, dates
from the Han dynasty, when, accord
ing to the records, porcelain was first
made in China, although vessels Of
earthenware probably were produced
some centuries earlier. A large and
picturesque town of potters it still is,
to judge by Frank B. Lenz's deserip-
tion in Millard's Review, and mod
ernly interesting because Its product.
hitherto largely confined to. China, will
no doubt. enter more and more into
world trade with the present devel-
opment of international commerce.
They call it a 'town" in China be-
cause, although some 100000 people
live in it, it has no wall; practically
it is a great manufacturing city, where
warehouses, shops, furnaces and the
homes of the people are, all jumbled
together as they have come into being
during the centuries, and where, CEN
tury by century, the-great mounds Of
Clipped and defective pottery have
grown steadily higher along the banks
of the river.
Nowadays there are at least 200
firms engaged in the occupation, 120
pottery kilns, 1900 art shops, and
none than 1000 form factories; and
of the 100000 inhabitants, about 200,-
900 live by the manufacture and sale
Of porcelain and pottery.

UNABLE TO EXPLAIN GENIUS
Scientists Of All Ages Have Admitted
une impossi5ility Of Determining
Whence 1t Comes.

Science itself admits that it cannot
explain genius, fur genius simply is
without explanation.
Handel was only seven when he in
sisted on following his father TO the
court Of Sake Weisenfels, whose
prince. hearing linn play on the or
gan in church after the service was
over, persuaded his father to give the
boy a chance. BY the time he was
nine he began to compose church sery-
ices for voices and instruments and
did so every week for three years
But Handel was a tremendous gor-
mandizer. He ordered dinner for three
at a hote. and when asked if he would
wait for the others, replied: q am
the others serve the dinner" and he
ate all Of it.
A story is told Of Handel that while
seated at dinner with some other mu-
sicians he exclaimed, "Oh, | have de

that he 20 into another room and
write down "de taught" lest they lose
some wonderful composition. Handel
did this several times, when one OF
the friends looked through the keyhole
and saw him pouring down some Bur-
gundy which an admirer had sent hlm
and he did not wish to share with the
others.
When a singer complained to Handel
that the style of his aceonpanimehts
distracted the attention of the hear
ers from the singer to the musician
and that if he did not accompany hlm
better he would jump up on the harp

smash it. Handel replied: "Finei

5OO,O 900 ATTEND PIcNICS
GIVEN BY INDUSTRIES

PITTSBURGH, Today. - More
than 100000 persons have this year
attended the picnics given by indus
trial oncerns in Pittsburgh to their
employees, according to the estimates
of amusement park managers n a
number of the most important are
yet to be held.
Arrangements for these great
gatherings of workmen and their
families are on a colossal scale and
carried out by an efficient organiza-
ton of trained engineers and Office
men. 1t occasionally happens, as in
the cas- of the Clarion plant of the
Carnegie Steel company, that no
picnic ground was available. So the
engineers selected a nice bit of vir-
gin forest not far from the town,
built good roads in and through it,
erected merry-go-rounds and other
traditional amusement devices, buff
refreshment booths and a dancing
platform and when he'thousands OF
steel workers and their families
reached the place for a days en-
|joyment, they found it as complete
as if it had been standing for years.
The quantity of provisions requir-
ed for the entertainment for a big
plant and its workers astonishes
those who know little of such enter
|prises.
At one Industrial picnic held here
recently three tons of beef and four
tons of boiled ham were required for
the sandwiches. Five thousand
loaves of bread were used, three
men working fifty hours to cut it to
size.
