more loquacious kind, and there are
no hotel bills to be paid.
Real estate statesmen not infrequent-
ly use models Of properties to effect
sales. This is too expensive method,
however, to be generally used, unless
the model represents a standard type
of building or dwelling which can be
erected anywhere.
In the case of one American real
estate man model showing both the
interior and exterior, the top being
removable, was used. Enterprising
manufacturers who support city sales
rooms have models Of their plants for
exhibition in the show windows. This
class Of models, together with relief
maps such as are shown at expositions.
has proved of value in advertising a
manufacturers products.
Models of street corners, roadways,
bridges, buildings and the like are
often used in litigation In courts, for
they make clear to jury as nothing
else can the locale of an accident or
crime.

CATS FOLLOW FISH DEALER
Animals OF Sheepshead Bay Regular
ly Take the Trail of the Pedder
of Sea Food.

Like the pied piper, the Sheepshead
Bay fish dealer has a following of cats
as he pushes his cart through the res
idence section on Friday morning, says
the New York Sun. The cats for
blocks away hear his shrill cry of
"Fresh fish !'' or perhaps smell his car
go and come slyly through the streets
for a chance at delectable bit of sea
food.
When the fishman gets a customer
be cleans and scales the fish on the
ground. This is the chance for the
neighborhood cats. Their part Of the
feast consists of the discarded heads
and tails of fluke and sea bass.
Obtaining a priced portion, most of
the cats break for home to enjoy the
repaSt, while others not so fortunate
hang on the peddler's heels and fol-
low him about until he finally makes
a sale and permits them to profit on
his loss.

Anticipate Cheap Steel.

The cheapest steel in the world, it
is believed, will be produced in India
now that 1.-THE United Steel Corpora
ton of India, Ltd.," has been formed
with a capital of twenty crores Of
rupees (S1OO,OOOOOO) by Messrs. Bird
& Company, of Calcutta, and Messrs.
Cammell, Laird & Company. This
event, it is said, is Of great Importance
to the future Of the iron and steel
industry in the East, it being pro-
posed to establish works on a large
scale near the deposits of iron, coal,
and limestone in India. Plans Of the
new works are well advanced. The
plant is designed to produce 100000
to 100000 tons Of pig iron, and the
steel works and rolling mills are cap
able Of producing 100000 tons Of
finished steel per annum.

Cuckoo Film.

A remarkable film was shown re-
Gently at the New Gallery Kinema by
Mr.. Edgar Chance, the well-known
ornithologist, showing the actual proc
ess gone through by a cuckoo In the
matter of laying it's eggs in the nests
Of other birds. The actual taking Of
the film followed four years of close
study, and was described by Viscount
Grey, who was present at the first
exhibition, as a wonderful achievement
and real contribution to bird knowl-
edge.
Mr.. Chance explained that the
cuckoo favors the nests of the meadow
pipits or titlarks, the theory being
that the bird selects the same species
as that by which she was reared.
The film shows that the cuckoo takes
out one of the original eggs in her
beak and, leaving her own egg, flies
to a neighboring tree, there to con-
sumo the stolen property. The film
then goes on to show the cuckoo fledg-
ling monopolizing the situation in the
nest, throwing out any unmatched eggs
and other fledglings and thus secur-
ing for itself all the sustenance that
the foster parents are able. to supply.

DRUG DREAMS CALLED MYTH
Users of Opiates Can Do NO
Lasting Good Work.

The gulf between the songs of pop.
pies that breathe of sleep, the golden
and green dragons, and the ecstatic
dreams that mark the literature" of
drug addiction and the dismal side
of the vice which the police behold,
is brought out in an article by DR..
Carlton Simon, who emphasizes in the
Scientific American the fact that
opium, hasheesh, cocaine, heroin,
morphine and the rest are far from
lyrical.
From the standpoint of the POI
lice" he writes, "all the romance Of
the songs and short stories is swept
away on the fumes of a drug which
brings depression, poverty, despair,
and DEATH" 1t has long been sus-
pected that the drug dream, as a
literary motif, was much overrated.
By the time the addict is able to write
of his visons-if he has them-after
a debauch, he is i'll and purposeless
and ready for another dose. For any
body by DeQuincey a sniff is in-
spiration, enough for a drug poem or
tale. Go further, and the dreams van
ish in a ioathsome reality.

After the clay has been approved by
the architect it is treated to coat
of shellac, then light coat of grease.
1t is then encased in rough plaster
form so that melted preparation of
gelatine may be poured upon the face.
When cold this gelatine is as elastic
as rubber, so that it may be pulled
from the irregular face of the model
without injury. After being hardened
with alume this gelatine impression
serves as mold into which plaster
OF paris is poured. Burlap or jute fiber
is scattered over the wet plaster to
hold the brittle stuff together, after
which another coating of plaster is
poured on.
In making scale models wires or
strips of metal may be used as rein
forcement. Whenever detail, such as
column, or capital or a window or
a decorative detail is repeated the
modeler makes a mold for a single
unit and then casts as many pieces as
are required. These are then assem-
bled and cemented in place with fresh
plaster. Finally the sections are as
sembled and the model is finished by
pointing up" or dressing down the
rough parts and filling up Imperfect
tons.
Another important use for models is
in the building of ships. Lest anyone
should underestimate the Importance
of tha marina modal n should - -
planned that they perform many use
full services. For one thing marine
models have played an important part
in making England mistress of the
seas, Marine museums, the principal
features of which are models of ships.
are numerous in England
A marine model may be of, any
dimensions required from life-size
down. Visitors at the Chicago Worlds
Fair in 1898 will recall the life-size
model of the battleship "nlinois,' done
in wood and staff, in one of the la
goons in Jackson Park.
Although architects on land and sea
are the principal users of models they
by no means exhaust the list.
A recently developed use for models.
which is rapidly extending, is in SELL
ing goods. Some manufacturers of
special machinery employ no statesmen.
When an inquiry for machine is re-
ceived a working model is sent. This
tells its own story more convincingly
than the most eloquent words.
The inquirer returns the model with
his order, whereupon it goes to the
next prospective customer. Express
charges on the ..silent salesman" are
cheaper than railroad fares for the
