Mr.. Chamberlain produced for in
spection his own collection of various
kinds of china consisting mainly of
plates, using these to illustrate hii
talk on composition, patternsg and
decorations. He particularly en-
phasized English china as reprecent-

Copeland, the Wedgewood producers
the Worcester makers and also the
Royal Doulton potteries as we'll as

it is really as representative OF
these firms that Mr.. Chamberlain

These firms have loaned to HIM
costly vases and rare plates comprls~

Included in this collection are din

Formerly, as still in Greenland, which furnishes perhaps the largest part of the down sent to the mar ket, the down was taken from the wild nests found on coasts. Gradual ly a certain measure of protection was introduced into European countries The next movement was to dig a great number of convenient little hollows or chambers in the soil and among the rocks of sea fronting hills - accommodations of which the ducks were quick to take advantage. Many such cider folds exist in Norway and Iceland, and are regarded as property. The eggs and down are quietly taken from each nest at intervals of few days by the owners of the cider fold, un- til the limit of the birds endurance has been reached, when she is per mitted to hatch few eggs in order to maintain the race. About half a pound of cider is said 10 be ob- tained annually from each nest but this is much reduced by cleaning. . Down taken from the birds which have been killed is inferior in quail itv to trat obtained from the nests. The latter is known in commerce as Tive down." the former as dead down."
