WHERE CHINAWARE
COMES FROM

Ching -teh-chen, possibly a stranger
city to the average American, needs
only this Introduction: 1T is the
home of chinaware."
1t is the subject of the following
communication to the National Geo
graphic society from Frank B. Lenz:
1.-The greatest industrial city of
China is not one of the treaty ports,
where the direct influence of western
progress is constantly felt, but a bus
ting interior city of Kiangsi province
Ching -teh-chen. This is the famous
porcelain and pottery center of the
nation-indeed, it is the original home
of the porcelain industry of the world.
There are few cities in America
en- over to a single industry as this
one.
"Chinaware What does the word
connote? 1t is simply ware made
of clay and named for the country
that first produced it. Whether it be
a green tile from a temple roof, dish,
vase, or a painted ornament from
a wealthy Celestials home, 1t all has
a traceable connection with Ching-teh-
chen. With the Chinese, Ching-teh-
chen and porcelain are synonymous.
"Ching-teh-chen Clown of Scenic
Virtue) is one Of the four largest
towns Gas distinguished from cities)
Of China. Technically, 1t is a town,
because it has no wall. In reality it
is a busy Industrial city of 100000
people, two-thirds of whom are en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale Of
porcelain. Economically, it is a city
to stir mems souls. LOngfellOw, in
his 'KeramOs,' speaks of it.
1.-THE geographical location of
Ching -teh-chen is not accidental. 1t
became the pottery center of the cOun-
try centuries ago because of the enor-
nous quantities of excellent clay in
the district around Pc Yang Lake.
More than a dozen kinds of excellent
clay are found in the neighborhood
of the lake.
"After the clays are thoroughly
cleansed, sifted, and refined they are
kneaded together in varying proper
tions, usually by a bare-foOted boy,
until they are ready for the potter.
The wet lump Of clay is then placed
on the knob of the potter's wheel.
"The potter's wheel, which was in
vented by the Chinese, is huge cir
cular machine, about four feet in d.
ameter, made Of heavy timbers to lend
it momentum. 1t rests on perpen-
dicular axis in a slight depression,
or pit, into which water and debris
rapidly drain.
"The potter is perched above the
wheel, with one foot on either side,
in order to allow sufficient space for
the movement of his hands. After
revolving the wheel swiftly with a
short pole, he deftly and with me-
chanical precision fashions a plate,
bowl, or vase. After years of prac-
tice he can estimate to within a hairs
breadth the proper size.
"The piece is then removed and
placed on a long tray in front of
the potter where it awaits the next
artisan. Handles and other decor
ations, made in molds, are added, and
then the whole is scraped smooth and
allowed to dry until it is ready for
the next process-the under-glaze dec
Grafton.
Several basic cOlors, like blue and
red, can be painted on under the glaze.
The glaze is next applied in various
ways-by dipping, by blowing On with
tube, or by sprinkling. After the
mark has been added the piece is
ready for the furnace"

NEW JAMAICA STAMPS.

Jamaica, in issuing a new pictorial
series, has adopted the peculiar idea
of calling it a set commemorative OF

includes Jamaica Exhibition, 1891

A powerful searchlight of the new
"dishpan" type has been built for the
government for use in guiding aviators
in night flight This great beacon has
approximately 100000 candlepower.

tors and 1t can "pick up" an aviator

al plants dsing different methods were
the gas of the PetrOlia field; and some
months later a third plant, using a
still different method, vas erected in
the field itself.
LAS the apparatus used in all the
processes of extracting helium gas for
balloon purposes requires rather del
icate adjustment and manipulation,
some time was naturally consumed IN
determining the most efficient work
ing conditions; but just prior to the
armistice the first shipment of 10000
cubic feet of helium, compressed and
stored in steel tanks, had been started
to Europe. This was enough to I'LL
four of the ordinary kite balloons,
though large dirigibleS require one to
two million or more cubic feet of gas
"Although quantity production of
helium was achieved just too late to
be Of value in the actual hostilities,
it was in itself a great accomplish
ment, for the worlds total output of
helium up to 1915 was probably less
than 100 cubic feet, the market value
of which was about $1,700 cubic
foot. Our helium can be produced by
the first two methods developed at
less than 10 cents a cubic foot, and
if the third process fulfills eXpecta-
tions, this figure will be still further
reduced.
"The details of the process of ex-
tracing helium are highly technical,
but the general scheme is easily un-
derstood. All of the main constitu-
ents of natural gas including the nj
trogen, become liquefied when cooled
to about minus 32S degrees, Fahrenheit !;
but the helium remains a gas at this
exceedingly low temperature and is
thus easily separated.

dividual is happy and satisfied in his
act and attitude. A divided will marks
incomplete personality, and it is not
free will. Every man must win his
own freedom. He must desire 1t
enough to pay its price, and its price
is the mastery of passions and ap-
petites. AS a man gains mastery over
his own powers and desires he is free.
Resolutions are good, because they
witness to the sense of incomplete
self-mastery and to the vision of great
er self-control and freedom that are
possible.-Minneapolis Journal

its first post near Moose Factory

members true and absolute lords"
of three-quarters of a continent, vest
ed them with trading monopOlies,

The light, in short, might for all the
world have been mater, but matter of
an extremely light" kind. That be-
ing so, a facetious reader might ask
how much of it goes to the ounce. But
a brilliant astronomer has been able
to calculate even that; it is an ap-
palling amount. For example, the
cost of light supplied by gas and cleo
trio light companies works out at
something like f1OOOOOOO an ounce.
Yet the sun gives us no less than one
hundred and sixty tons Of this valU
able stuff every day,

Weight of Light.

1t seems odd to talk of such an un-
substantial thing as light as having
weight. Yet such has been proved to
be the case, and the principal proof
came from tests made during the fam
Gus eclipse of the sun on May %, 1919.
1t was then shown that a ray of light
has sufficient body" In it to be acted
upon by the sun to the extent of being
displaced by a certain definite amount.

"Even the beaten paths in the snow
