During the Italian Renaissance the
art developed in subtle treatment of
color and shading, and Flemish tap
estry reached its height OF artistic per-
lection In the magnificent pieces from
cartoons by Raphael and other Ital-
ian masters.
Royalty supported the Industry at
this period. Incidents Of history we're
woven into design with threads of
gold and silver. and even jewels. 9th
ers were mellowed by soft colorings of
wool, with their high lights supplied
by sllken threads. The dyes, often as
costly as the gold and silver, have
held their colors for centuries, and 1t
has been beyond the modern chemist
to solve their alchemy. No such col

"SQUEEZEo POPULAR IN CHINA
What the Western World Calls "Graf"
Is PraetIcad by All Glasses In
That Country.

One trait firmly lmbedded in the
Chinese character which the foreign
business man and the housewife both
have to contend with Is the weakness
for Squeeze II is said by foreigners
that the Chinese. merchant, coolie,
politician, fisherman, chauffeur and
bcggar would rather make 81 by
squeeze" thant $40 by the same
amount OF brain work or manual Ia
Dor.
Squeeze Is Chinese for graft. 1t is
a word in that international Far East
ern tongue known rs pidgin-English
But squeeze is something more than
graft It's political phase might be
termed graft. and that form of squeeze
Is what makes the military governors
Of the provinces and the politicians Of
Picking and Canton so fat. Most Chi
ueSe politicians would have been ac-
ceptable in the eyes Of Julius Caesar,
and squeeze Is the reason for some Of
the corpulence in China.
Squeeze Is the Chinese translation
of "as much as the traffic win bear"
1t is factor in Chinese business, as
much as supply and demand, or profit
and loss.

Consul Hitch, at Nottingham, Eng
land, reports an invention by a resi-
dent Of that city which, it is claimed,
win reyolutlonize the present meth
cd OF making imitation laces. The
inventor states that by means of his
invention, which is an attachment
to an ordinary Levers lace machine,
he can produce the lace the entire
width Of the machine. either In
breadths from one inch upward or the
full width of the machine for alloYer
nets. Thus a machine 100 inches wide
could be made to produce 100 breadths
of one inch, or fifty of two-inch and
so on. Two sets Of jacquards are used,
one operating the warp threads and
the other hobbin threads.

a highly important use Of a magnet
is that ia which It is sometimes en-
ployed to withdraw small pieces of
iron from such out Of the way places
as the human eye. Another use Of the
tractive force Of magnetism on a much
larger scale was that to which 1t was
put by Edison in his magnetic ore
separator, In which the ore, previously
crushed to a fine powder, is dropped
down a chute past the poles of pow

the iron particles Of the ore are de-

instance of the employment of mag

DESERVES PLACE IN HISTORY
ceerops, Illuatrlous Egyptian, Made
Country an Asylum for the in
nocent and Prosecuted.

With the dawn Of Attic civilization
in ancient Greece, Cecrops, an Egyp-
tian, built a town on the site where
later the citadel Of Athens rose in
magniicence. He introduced morals
and judicial regulations, and the coun-
try under his rule became an asylum
for the innocent and prosecuted. From
that time on festivals, compacts and
laws EXTENDED their beneficial lnflu-
ence. About $50 years after him the
Phoeniclan Cadmus brought the use
Of letters into BOeotla; and ataThebes,
In the same country, ne erected a cita-
del. The greatest lyric poet and the
greatest general OF the Greeks were
Boeotians, but nevertheless this PEG
pie was accused Of stupidity. While
their value was not appreciated. their
discoveries were brought to perfection
by others and more usefully applied.
It Is remarkable that Cadmus,
the father OF learning, who taught
us to hand down our thoughts to fu-
turity, came into Greece just at a time
when Joshua, the leader Of the
Jews, drove the PhOenecian tribes to-
ward the sea ana compelled them to
seek refuge ia distant colonies. This
act Of a desplsed people, scarcely
known 10 Greek historians, was the
occasional cause Of an the intellectual
and moral excellence which has arisen
through The influence Of literature.

MAY BE BONES OF HEROES
Uncertainty as to Human Relies Re
Gently Found Near the Famous
Alamo at San Antonio.

Recently workmen have unearthed
In a portion of the Alamo grounds at
San Antonio bones which may be those
OF the heroes Of Texas whose bodies
were cremated by the victorious hordes
under Santa Anna
No effort was made 10 gather the
bones nor to remove them 10 the in
closure OF the Alamo. They were per-
mitted to remain where they were
found; and a garage is to be built over
the spot, the ground where the dis
coyery was made being outside the
walls and a part Of the property which
has gone 10 commercial use.
The bones were found some 200
feet south Of the wall Of the Alamo;
and the inquiry made has not fully de-
valopad whether they were those Of
The Texans or whether they were those
Of the Indians who were used 90 build
the ancient mission and who formed
the colony which the crlars gathered
about them TO TN their fields and to
provide The food and the feed they re-
guired.-Heuston Post.

Aluminium Brass.

Experiments aimed at developing
the resistance of brass to the action
Of sea water, with a view to its en-
ployment for constructing submarines
in France, have. 1t is reported, shown
some remarkable results from the ad-
dition of aluminium. The internal
structure of the alloy is strikingly
changed by very small percentage
Of aluminium and the color changes
are surprising.
From half Of per cent up to per
cent Of aluminium gives the brass
deep golden color. If the quantity of
aluminium Is increased beyond per
cent a superb rose color results, which
reaches Its maximum when the alum
mum amounts to per cent. With 10
per cent Of aluminium the color turns
to silyery white.
