“TACTILISM” THE LATEST ART Pictures Can Be "Seen" by Touch, la Declaration Maae by Inventor of New Fad. Among tbe things that “have their day and cease to be.' artistic extrav agances bold a prominent place. The wild vagaries of impressionists, cu bists anil futurists one by one eclipse what has gone before. “Tactilism" is the name of a new “Brt" invented by Signor Marinetti, the Italian futurist, who, recently, to a large audience of painters, art critics and society people in Paris, explained its principles. It is a method of con veying Impressions through the sense of touch, “which has hitherto been neglected by the arts.” Marinetti told how lie had tried to establish a series of conventions, which could lie easily learned, by which different touches would bring forth definite ideas. For iustance. something rough, spiky and hot to the touch would give the idea of the Sahara. The seas would be conjured up by something smooth and cold, like silver paper, and Paris try a mixture of silk and velvet. It is aa evidence of the readiness of the day to take up anything new that this adventur ous futurist pioneer is now ttie lion of the season. He intends to be in Paris for some weeks, but has already re reived so many invitations to attend fashionable receptions and evening . parties tiiat he wnfesses that he hard ly knows how to cram in all his ap pointments. DESIGNED TO UPHOLD WEIGHT Elephant’s Foot Is Enormous. Even When Compared With the Sue of the Beast. That twice around an elephant's foi l equals its height seems almost iu - credible, yet such is the fact, and a little reflection will show you that it is not so wonderful as it appears to be. Things are large or small, comparatively, und if we could see the foot of an elephant by itself, it would present a far different app-ar ance as to size from what it gives when overshadowed hy the mountain of flesh it- aupports. The eieptaut a in the Indian commissariat lieing di eted according to height require to be measured annually to determine the amount of food to which they are en titled. At present this is done by means of the ordinary standard with crossbar on top. hut formerly it was done hy placing a rope around ttie aui mal's forefoot close to the grouud. ant! multiplying tlie lengih so obtained by two. This measurement generally gives a quarter of an inch or so more, hut never less than the exact height. Use of Peat as Fuel. Few have realized i)iy,t pent might replace coal and break to a large ex tent tile dependence of some of the northern state* upon distant coal mines. For several months a Minneapolis company lias been engaged in the prep aration Of peat for fuel, said to In- iiie only enterprise of its kind in the coun try. A machine has been perfected tiiat digs, macerates and spreads out to dry Tdb tons of wet peat in a day. or a quautity sufficient to produce loo tons of dry fuel. That’s how much peal contracts in the drying process. One man operates the ma' iiitie. During the summer the machine wa operated on a bog near Minneapolis and peat, processed at the University of Minnesota, was burned with satis factory results in a Minneapolis office building. A crusher plant, with a capacity ol 50<) tons of peal a day, has been iiuill In Minneapolis during the winter f< produce powdered peat, and in tht spring ten pea^ digging machines an to be started on the Minnesota hogs. Delivering the Goode. Edouard Belin. the inventor ol photography by wire, said at a diu uer in New York : “Of course, the transmission ol photographs by wire was thought oui before my time.

One of Whistler'., sitters you know, was In a hurry to have bet portrait. Finally she said: “ ‘Now, Mr. Whistler, you’ve beet at work on this portrait of mine h very long time. When will it be fin ished and delivered “ ‘Perhaps never, ma’am,' said Whistler calmly.” Boys Study Reforestation. Reforestation clubs for boys are be ing formed in the public schools o( Louisiana.

WHY SOME DYES ARE •‘FAST” Vegetable and Animal Compound* 3o prrior to Any Products of th* Chemist’* Laboratory. Some dyes are “fastother* fadn either when the goods are washed or when they are exposed to the sunlighL The fastness or otherwise of a color depends upon the arrangement of the •totne that make np Its molecules. If these be closely interwoven, neither light nor water can separate them; but If they are loosely Joined together Ught and water make them disinte grate. Most of our modern dyes are derived from coal tar and consist of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements. The vegetable dyes usually contain no other element* but carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. That la why. being so simple, sucb colors as logwood and natural indigo are the fastest of all. The few ani mal dyes—cochineal, for example are fast for the same reason. But the so-called anilln dyes are the prod uct of the chemist's laboratory and are complex and loosely hound com binations of the atoms of many ele ments. There are acid dyes and al kaline dyes, and before applying them to any stuff one must know whether the cell* of thl* are acid or alkaline In reaction. For opposites attract, likes repel. Therefore we must use add dyes for alkaline materials and alkaline dyes for acid materials. DECISION CUT LEGAL TANGLE Point Involved in English Lawsuit Seem* Hardly Worth the Tim* and Money Expended. On the last day of the last month tn the year 1«H) a very curieus legal battle was fought Itetween the English crown and a gentleman, lord of the manor of Holderness; It was a strug gle for a cask of wine thrown upon l the seashore on the coast of that par I ticular manor. The lord’s bailiffs and the customs ! officers both raced to the spot and the i contending parties each laid hold of | the cask. Then the officers decided i to go back to the custom bouse for j further'instructions and du j absence the bailiffs removed the cask to the cellar of the manor house. At the trial the arguments on both ! sides were very learned ami exceed ingly lengthy. The decision of the court was in favor of the lord on the i grounds that no permit is required to j remove spirits unless It has paid duty; ! that wine to he liuble to duty must i be imported; that wine cannot be itn 1 porter! by itself, but requires the agency of someone else to do It; that. ( therefore, wine wrecked, having come j on shore hy itself or without human [ volition or Intention, was not Import j ed, and was not subject to duty, and | did not require a ;>ermit for its re moval.—Chicago Journal.
