persons strolling about the main
building of the University of Texas
raised a fire alarm because of what
appeared to them as wreath of
smoke issuing from the middle tower.
The writer was unable to discover
any fire within the tower, but from
the roof OF the building could make
out that the Smoke" consisted not
of carbon particles but of insects.
These were issuing from a small hole
under the tin and flying in a close
swarm. gently blown back and forth
in the breeze like a delicate streamer.
The swarm played in this manner for
about fifteen minutes and then seem
ed to return whence 1t came.
None of the specimens was recov-

Hardy Arab Horse.

TT is a popular notion that the
Arabian horse is a peculiarly deli
cate animal, most sensitive to adverse
influences. Such, however, is not the
case. The wants of an Arab horse
are few, and it is contended that he
will maintain his health and spirits
under conditions that no other
species of horse could endure. In
deed, it has been pointed out, not
only can the Arab steed undergo
hardships at a pinch, but that he
actually deteriorates IL too carefully
tended. This has been proved by the
who have refused to believe that the
usual three feeds of grain a day were
too much, or that the morning hour
Of walking exercise was too little.
AS a matter of fact, an Arab horse
is naturally so high spirited and SO
difficult to tire that even a single
feed of corn is excessive until he is
being subjected to hard work. He will
answer every requirement as a hunt
err IL his food be restricted to hay, or
even to grass. In the summer he
thrives best when he has the run of
a paddock and can regulate his own
food and exercise
These observations apply also to
the ordinary Arab horse in everyday
life. What picked animal can do
when put upon his mettle is almost
beyond belief. A British officer in
the Sudan found that after. ride of
500 miles his Arab horse showed no
signs, of oyerwork. although he had
cast all his shoes before a quarter of
the journey, had been accomplished.

Dive From SheIlfSh.

THERE is said to abound on the
Pacific coast of Costa Rica- es-
pecially in the region about Cocus
bay, a kind of shellfish called the
"nacasco," from which a fine purple
color is obtained. So far no way has
been found to preserve this dye, and
the industry has remained in the
hands of a few old neople who take
the trouble to dy few ounces OF
thread every summer.
The process is very simple. On
picking up the shell from the beach
or detaching it from Il boulder, the
gatherer blows her breath into it;
whereupon a few drops of a greenish
liquor oozes out. This is collected in
a clamshell, and after a sufficient
quantity has been collected the
thread is passed through it. very
soon assuming on exposure to the
sunlight a beautiful purple color
which Is absolutely fast after 1t has
turned. 1t is thought possible that
the dye turns fast only on exposure
to the air an dthat the liquor could
be preserved by keeping the air from
it. There is little doubt in the minds
of those who have investigated the
matter that this industry of dying
thread could be extended to greater
proportions if an extensive demand
at good prices could be found for the
.dyestuff.

ing in such thick Swarms that they
were mistaken for smoke caused two
fire alarms to be turned in early to-
day.
Members of a truck company an
swered a call saying that the steeplt
of St. Michaels Roman Catholic
Church was burning. The f1remen saw
what they at first supposed was

their extension ladders to fight the
fire. When they mounted the ladder
they encountered mosquitoes and
were forced back. The same expert
ence was met by members Of another
engine company called to the Zion
Methodist Church in another part OF

If it be true that we are on the way

Other museums which as yet have
fewer such aids to the betterment of
American industrial art are adding
to what they have as the movement
grows Commercial and manual
training high schools in different
cities have their part in it. also.
Their classes in metal working may

Further than this, we have in this
country eighteen or twenty special
schools for designers. some better
than others. but all playing their
part. and thirty-Six special schools
in which handcrafts are taught
Seventy other schools have classes in
design.
HF course the great amount of
~ educational work done by all
museums nowadays is a most impor-
tant factor. 1t is not enough that
designers should embody in their
work the best in art of all ages
The average man and woman must
have sufficient knowledge of the
subject to be able to recognize true
beauty when they see 1t.
We are developing in that respect.
America is learning. is really grow

AS nation, there is improvement in
our taste. And this campaign being
waged by our art museums is back

1t has reached beyond the designer
and the manufacturer. In New York
even salespeople in department stores
are attending special museum lee
ture. courses to inform themselves
about the goods on their shelves in
the light of art and the history of
art.
The great merchandising concerns
, of the big city find it pays to have
their buyers and salesfolk study this
phase of their work. They are given
time from their store duties to go to
the museum in groups and hear lee
lures prepared just to meet their need.
Not only that but they take along
articles from current stock, and, in the
presence of standard museum pieces
discuss their merits and defects.
