    “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. But my predecessors
though their theory was all right
could not put it Into practice. St
nothing much came of their work, foi
an Inventor’s backers Insist on tht
prompt delivery of the goods
“An inventor can't treat his back
ere as Whistler, tiie painter, treated
his sitters. 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. Seeds and trees are sup
plied by the state department of con
servation and prizes are offered for
the best results. Tbe work is timely
in view of the assertion, made re
cently by the forest service, that tim
ber is cut and bunted in the United
flutes four times as fast as it Is grow
ing.

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.
The Lake Poets
The Lake Fuels, the Lake School.

Ijrttisb crii-cs aljout tbe beginning of
i lie |nisi century, to a certu’u brother
j ood of poets who “haunf- d r some
I ears about the lakes of Cumberland,
j1 higlnnd,” and who were erroneously
bought to have united upon some
ettleil theory or principles of compa
nion and style. Wordsworth. Southey
nd Coleridge were regarded as the
liief representatives of this so-called
i hoot, but Lamb. Llovd and Wilson

The Newly Married.
Nothing Is to me more distasteful
than that entire complacency and sat
isfaction which beam In the coun
1 tenances of a newly married couple—
In that of the lady particularly; It
1 tells you that her lot Is disposed of
In this world; that you can have no
hopes of her. It Is true I have none,
i nor wishes either, perhaps, bul this
•s one of those truths which ought,
as I said before, to be taken for grant
