any color pigment may become a

or is desired as for instance in car
riage painting. All body pigments
must bo opaque, they must be insol
tiable in oil, they must have good
covering power, they must work very
smooth and they must have durability.
Of course all body pigments do not
possess these properties in the same
degree They differ very widely in
their relative value and they differ
in color.
All pigments must be considered as
dry powders. That is what they are.
originally. Tito white lead which
you buy in kegs, in paste form, is
a dry powder ground in oil. So also
is zinc and all the colors that arc
put up in paste forms. All without
exception are dry powders.
While color is merely an incident
so far as our present purpose is
concerned it is convenient to class
ify by color.
White Lead—This is the most im
portant body pigment we have. There
is no substance that fulfills all the
requirements as well as this does
and its great covering power and dur
J.ibi dy makes it superior to all others.
While li ad is lead curbonates and the
carbonates of the metals are perman
ent compounds. It is t-kiinicd Unit
there is a partial union 6f this pig
ment with the linseed oil but i bo
le », [hen is NO I'NIO.N other than
the mechanical one of enmeshing the
fim particles of lead in the hardening
film of oil. Hut this l‘s sufficient, and
no better paint can be made than that
form d by the combination of white
had and linseed oil. When I say
white lead. I mean Id’ll 10 while lead
and it is much better to buy the
prepared lead ground in oil be
cause the, mixing is partly done
and that is no small matter. There
are several standard brands of pure
lead on the market. Those best
known are the Southern, Carter's,
Collier, Eagle, ami Red Seal. The
two best known brands in this sec
tion are the Southern (Dutch hoy)
ami Carters. These two leads, are
representatives of quite different
processes of manufacture but. both
are fine products. Both are as near
ly pure, as it is possible to make
them and they can not bo excelled
for paint purposes. Some painters
claim that'Carter's covers more sur
faeo, others that Southern lead works
belter, but the difference, if any,
is not great and the house owner
i an buj either with the assurance
that it is the best the market af
fords. They are absolutely stand
ard and dependable.
'I lu i r are many adulterated leads
rn the market, and the amount of j
adultern'lon runs anywhere from one
fourth to three-fourths. These are
the "Just as Rood" kinds that are
offered. Thousands of tons of adul
terated leads are sold every year
Some dealers handle these adultera
ted leads and perhaps they are some
times sold as pure lead hut 1 do not
think much of this large output is
sold by retailers direct to customers
Some of it goes into mixed paints,
but. mo*t of it is used by painters
and contractors and that is likely to
continue as long as the property own
er is so indifferent that he makes
his contract for painting to cover the
material as well as the labor.
The adulterant is nearly always
Harytes, sometimes mineral white
is added.
Zinc As an all round pigment Zinc i
does not equal white lead, but it i
has some advantages over lead. It j
is whiter than lead and has greater,
covering power. In this respect ten j
parts of zinc equals about thirteen
parts of had. It hasn't the per
manency of lead and is more expen
sive than lead. It is the oxide of J
Zinc that is used but the Commercial
zinc contains some zinc carbonate
also. it. is much used for interior
white jobs because of its whiteness
and because it does not turn yellow
in dark places as lead does. It is
not very much used alone, uually
in combination with lead. Manufac
turers claim that it makes a better
paint used with lead, for outside
work, than lead alone. it does
make paint go farther, but I doubt
if it makes it any better for outside
use from the stand point of dura
bility. The old time job done with
lead, before painters thought zinc
was safe to use for out side work,
was equal to anything done in more
recent years.
Barytes—the native baryta is the
sulphate of Barium. Called also
“Heavy Spar” and this ground fine,
makes “Baryta White.” But the
artificial sulphate compounded from
the native carbonate (Witherate) is
what is usually used as a pigment j
This is nearly pure Barium sulphate
and is known as “Fixed White,” or
"Charlton White” or “Silicate white.”
Almost, its only use In house paints
is as an adulteration for white lead. I
It lias little covering power as com
pared to lead and would lie of little
value as a pigment, used alone.
Tin* subject of pigments will be
completed next woftt.

NOTES MADE DURING TRIP.

Friends
(Continued from last week)
On our arrival at Oberanimergau at
11:00 j>. m. we found coaches waiting
to take us to the homes of the vil
lagers. Found homes comfortable
and people very dear and kind.
The population numb* rs one thous
and and all the inhabitants, with the
exception of the married ladies, take
part in the wonderful "Passion Play."
On Sunday morning at 7:45 we
started for the theatre. Found our
seats and spent some time in admir
ing the decorations. Upon (he cur
tain are painted the figures of Moses,
Jeremiah, and Isaiah. To the right
and left are passage ways represent
ing streets in Jerusalem. On sides
are two houses representing the
homes of Pilate, the Roman governor
and Annas, the high priest.
The greater part of the stage is
open to the sky, so the actors are
exposed to the sun and rain.
A eight o'elosk a cannon report
was heard, this was the signal for
I
the play to begin. We sat there
for four hours, in one position, simply
held spell bound by the grand perfor
mance. It all seemed so real that
even now I feel its influence.
At 12:00 o'clock we left for lunch
and at 1: "0 we were again in the
theatre. Here we remained until
ti:0rt p. m., when the curtain went
down for the last time. The cruel
■ fixion was truly wonderful. It took
place under the open sky, as if in
actual life, thus making it all the
more real and pathetic. Never can 1
forget the expressive noble face of
\nton Lang, and the words littered
by him while hanging on the cross.
In the evening while at the table
eating dinner, a young lady came to
| our door, inquiring for me and. to my
j great surprise and pleasure she prov
I ed to be a cousin of mine. How de
lighted we were to meet. After vis
iting about half an hour we took the
train for Weilheim, to visit another
cousin of ours. We did very little
sleeping that night, for there was so
much to tie told. Nevertheless we
arose early next morning, the one
cousin left for Oberammergua to see
the "Passion Play" and I took the
train for Munich.
It was here at the Grand Hotel I
meet my party.
At 1:00 p. m. we went for a car
riage drive visiting many places of
interest. One was the Statue of
Peace, erected by the emperor to
celebrate the twenty-five years of
peace. Then to the National Muse
um, one of the finest in the world;
a number of beautiful public gardens,
which certainly were beautiful with
grand statues, flowers, walks and
drives.
Munich is a very pretty place, with
! its beautiful buildings and its broad
and well constructed street. I was
sorry that we could not remain there
longer, for I felt especially interest
ed, my father having lived there
about fourteen years.
Next morning wre left for Weis
baden, arrived there about 4:00 p. m.
Took carriages and drove to the ho
tel which certainly was a beautiful
structure.
Weisbaden is tile queen of the
bathing resorts. It is noted for its
national beauty and historical attrac
tions. After dinner we went to visit
the famous bath, known all over the
world. We spent a greater part of
the evening in one of the most beau
tiful parks, in the. world. Here we
heard a fine German Hand concert.
The music was fine. The band con
sisted of sixty musicians, many of
whom were excellent soloists.
On Wednesday morning we took
the electric car to Uiebrich. Here
we took a steamer down the Rhine,
the river of legend and song. On the
slopes there are extensive vineyards
glistening m the sun. it seems al

The magnificent prospect ot this
river stretching away lor nines sur
pass the power ot language to uos
crihe. Alter a very pleasant day's
ricle we landed at Cologne, the wealth
iest and most renounc'd city on the
Rhine.
We went to see the glorious ca
thedral, a beautiful structure, with
its two spires reaching the heighth
of five hundred and twelve feet, it
was time for dinner so we went to I
tile hotel. After dinner we took a
walk, saw Cologne by electricr light.
It was fine.
From Cologne we went to the beau
tiful old city of iirussels. This place
reminds one very much of the city of
Paris. Of course it is much smaller,
but they speak the same language
and have the same style of architec
ture, and even their shops and cafes
are Parisian in appearance.
We took carriage's and drove
around the city. What a grand old
place witli its wide streets and fine
buildings. Its pavements are splen-|
didly constructed and are washed ev-J
cry night. it has many beautiful
|
parks. We drove through one, out
to the exposition grounds. We vis
ited the Palace of Justice, Conserva
tory of Music and the Museum of
Fine Arts. We then drove to the
station to take the train for the
city of Paris.
In Paris we spent four very busy
days. On Friday morning, we start
ed early to do shopping, went to “Bon
Marche.” Were there all morning.
Paris certainly is the cradle of the
newest fashion and the latest luxury.
After lunch we started for the "Lou
vre.” Here we saw many beautiful
paintings, one of these was Mur
illo's "Immaculate Conception.”
One of the most magnificent apart
ments of the Lourve is the “Gallery
of Apolo.” Its ceiling is in itself a
picture gallery. Bach painting is
placed there in a gilded frame. It
was in this room we saw the dia
mond-hilted sword of Bonaparte and
the famous Regent diamond, valued
at three million dollars, and the re
nowned and beautiful statue of "Ve
nus of Melos.”
The next day we visited many fine
churches during our drive around the
city. The church of Magdaline is
a very pretty one of modern times;
the church of the Invalids, near the
church is the home for old soldiers.
Next we went to the “Notre Dame”
a wonderful big structure, now much
soiled and worn by age. The inter
ior is very plain but beautiful.
The next morning we drove to Ver

sailles. Tile town itself is very
dull, but it has a fine park and pal
ace of the Bourbons, open to the
public.
We went through Marie Antoinette’
home. Everything is still the same
as when she lived there, but very
old. We visited the stables where
we saw eight gold coaches. They
wore simply beautiful. After lunch
wo went through the Royal Palace.
It is a very large structure and every
room is lined with beautiful paint
ings, describing the different wars
of France. We spent some time
visiting in the garden. It is a beau
tiful spot. We were told that it
cost them three thousand dollars to
play the fountain one afternoon, and
that they play it twice a month.
We returned to Paris in time for
dinner. After dinner we heard a
very fine lecture on "France” given
by Prof. Monogham.
Monday morning we again went
sight-seeing. In the evening we went
to grand opera "Faust,” enjoyed it
very much. It was worth the price
to see the interior of the theatre.
The boxes are a dark, rich red and
the trimmings and ceiling are a very
heavy gold. The stage was very
large. The scenery and the singing
was a sight long to be remembered.
We left Paris early next morning
for Boloagne. It was about twelve
o'clock when we got there. It was
here we took the boat to cross the
English channel. It took us about
two hours and a half to cross. On
landing, after our baggage was in
spected. we took the train for Lon
don.
We reached London at about four
p. m. Tuesday. After dinner we went
to the theater to see the play “The
Whip.” The scenery was beautiful
and the changes rapid, acting good.
The next day we took carriages
and drove to the Law Courts. We
were received warmly by the high
sheriff, who showed us around the
building. Leaving here we drove
over the London Bridge and came
back by the Tower Bridge. We went
through the meat markets, which are
so very interesting. On our way
we passed the "Old Curiosity Shop.”
After lunch we went to visit the
British Museum, which holds so many
old and interesting things; then to
the Ixmdon Tower. In my opinior.
the world contains no sadder mem
orial of man's inhumanity to man,
than this tow'er. The very thought
of the victims, who have endured im
prisonment and suffered death in its
walls, cause one's heart to ache.
After leaving this sad place we
went to visit West Minister Abbey,
that beautiful old place. .The poet's
corner was very interesting. We saw
the noted relic of Antiquity, the cel
ebrated “Stone of Destiny’’ on which
the kings of Scotland had been
crowned for centuries before King
Edward I of England brought it to
England. The king had it encased
in a chair of oak and in this chair
all of England’s sovereigns have been
crowned for the last six hundred
years.
After spending a greater part of
the next day in sight-seeing, we left
London at 4:50 p. m. for Dover.
On September 17. we sailed from
Dover, on the “Vaderland" of the
Red Star Line, and after a delight
ful voyage of nine days, we landed in
New York, on the morning of Sep
tember 26, 1910.
Auction Store Moves On.
Falls City did not seem to take
kindly to the auction store and last
Monday Mr. Cook packed up and left.
He was verry disappointed in the bus
iness done here and seems to feel
Falls City did not appreciate a good
thing. Perhaps he is right—he may
have offered good inducements to
the people but seems to us it speaks
volumes for the home merchants, tlio
stay-year-at-a-time kind when the
people find good enough with
them and do not wander off after
strange gods. They know the homo
merchant is here to make his word
good all the time.
A great day is planned for next
Sunday at the Presbyterian church
and all members are urged to be pres
ent. The pastor will give a short
sermon in the morning and the Holy
Communion will be held. All who
wish to unite with the church either
by certificate, or by profession of
faith are asked to speak to the pas
tor or one of the elders. In the
evening Dr. Emma Boose Tucker of
the China Mission will deliver an
address on "The New China.”
Bazaar.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church will hold a bazaar November
17, 18 and 19. They will also sene
supper each night.
