What ia the "dif," anyway? The nee of paint on honsea in the early hiatory of this country waa regarded at a luxury, which savored of aristo cratic waya and therefore to be oondemned. " Ber, Thomaa Allen, of Charleatown, Mass., waa called to acoonnt for haring ; paint abont hia dwelling but aaved himaelf by explaining that the offenaive aubatanee had been applied by a formed pro prietor. The first record of the manufacture of paper hangings in England dates from the year 1692, as a patent was taken out at that date by a William Bayley, who stated that hia inven tion consisted of "several engines made of brase," for the printing of all sorts of paper, of all sorts of figurosand colors whatsoever, and that *|the said invention had not been here tofore koown or practiced by any of onr subjects." There is no donbt the first attempts were the imitation of tapestry, linen or other haugioge that were at that time fashionable. In the reign of Queen Anne, 1712, a duty was imposed on paper bangings. They were made on pieces, 16 to 21 sheets, forming abont 8 square yards; each sheet bore thu govern ment stamp; the duty was ljjd. per square yard. Paper atainers were required to pay an annual license of Cl. A New Albany, led., jtrees diiqiati-h atatea that (.'apt .1 B.

Ford, then over aeveuly years of age, brnkea in fortune and having hut #100, loaned by a friend, left New Albany for the East l> begin life oc.-r, after having amassed anil lost several fortunes. He inter ested capitalists of New York iu a plate glass works at Tarcr.tuiu, and within a few years he hail made for hia associates am! himself many thousands of dollars. He is imw largely interested in three of the largest plate glass factories in the world, at Tarentum, Creighton and Ford City, and in addition is at the bead of the great Michigan alkali plauta at Wyan dotte, Mich. Capt. Ford is now eighty-four years of age. "Chunks of alcohol for coal" sounds queer. But never theless, it appears that Julius Xorden, an inventor of Aldenhoven, Germany, has discovered a way of redneiog alcohol to a solid. By his process it is compressed into small cakes, which are incased iu tie, ami thus become little pocket lamps or stoves ready for the light When a lighted match is touched to the top of these dimiuutive tin cases the alcohol hlaz-'s tip brightly, and, without danger of explosion, will continue to burn as long as it would have burned in its original form. In this manner it ia possible for a busy man to carry quarts of condensed alcohol in his vest pocket, ready for use. It was announced a few days ago that the mill of 8pencer Kellogg .t Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., bad been acquired by the American Liuseed Oil Company in il* plan of taking in opposition concerns. Spencer Kellogg denies emphatically this report, saying he intends to keep his property and operate as au independent concern. Our representative, when visiting the States, was told, in the course of achat with one of the largest American varnish makers, that American varnishes are superior to English, on account of the clearer air in which they are made. We are quite prepared to admit that the air in most of onr manufac turing towns is not as clear as that iu the American cities, and this is doubtless a great advantage in varnish-making in the States. Agsin, interior wood work is to extensively used in building private houses that this has served to make Amer ican wood varnishes and ataina of a very high quality.--Oil on / < 'iiloiirmiinx Jourunl, Jsnuloti The Sun Oil Company is striking it rich thrse days. No. 3 on the Cook lease near Toledo, O., is produciog over 2100 barrels of the erode daily, and No. 4, which hat reached the sand, has filled up with 1,200 feet of oil. About threeyean ago John Fox, a laborer, hired out lo the Peninsular White Lead and Color Works of Detroit lo work in the factory. He condoned in employment there for several months, and then was obliged to leave for the reasou that bis health broke down. He concluded to ane the com pany for damages, and the aclionwhich was filed resulted u s trial on May 1C, 1890, in s verdict for the company.

That means the best of paints at s minimum oost. The quality of our goods will bo fully maintained. OoiTMpoDdanea Solicited. JAMES E. PATTON CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS., U.S.A. The first of the modern colors was Mr. Perkin's aniline mauve, which was discovered and applied in the year 1850 (August): it was two or three year* after (April, 1850) that the neat modern color, wamenta or fuclisine, made its appear ance; the tide rose slowly in 1 tifiO with purplea, blues, aud violets, gained every year iu force and voluuio. nntil the flood has now risen to such a height that one who would like to keep up with it stands astonished and dismayed at its extent eud well nigh confounded with the prospect Indore him. Nor is there any sign that we have got to high-water mark, for month after month chemisfa aud color manufacturer* are patenting new colors or new proceasea in such numbers that only a sjrecialiat of specialist* can pretend to follow* or appre ciate the work that is being done. Car painting by compressed air ia being tried on^ the Pittsburg ard Lake Erie railroad, says the Eugitirrrnig Kc\rs. The yard is well supplied with sir pipes, and the barrel placed on a baud (ruck so that it can he moved to any iwrl of the yard The air line consists of 100 feet of one-inch heavy hoae; the paint suction hose of 50 feet of J-inch heavy hose. - The barrel is fquipped with s float of pine wood with 4-inch hole in the centre. Over the hole is s small linee-beiiring tower, used as a support and hose regulator, insuring a uniform feed of paint. Thie device is light in weight, and can lie readily carried to the top of a lx>x ear for spraying the roof. The time for carefully eprayiug a lu car is lit) minutes; to em ploy a man to follow with a long handled 8-incb whitewash brush, 38 minutes additional, making labor coat one hour per box car each coat To coat a coal car of tin,000 pouuds capacity takes `20 minutes for each coat, including tbe time of two meu. Tli is road is also nsrng s device for spraying on paint for the lettering, for covering uniformly, aud is con sidered a decided improvement over the stencil brushes, and will leadto agreatsaving in tbe wear and tear of stencil pistes. "Trade follows the flag," but it wes a mighty poor trade that followed tbe flag into the Philppines. The American government paid 120,000,000 for the arebipelago, and it haa already oost 145,000,000 additional to put the purchase iu working shape. A. tew more trades of this character will caute tbe American business man to wear clothing like Sena tor Hanna's, revenue stamps taking the plaoeof dollar-marks. No ooe thoroughly soqusinted with tbs Oremons var nishes ever mistakes the real Cremona for its infinite imita tions, none of wbioh has aver reached such a degree of iden tity with the original as to delude a real cognoscente. For 'nearly a hundred and fifty years, since the traces of the real Cremona varnish disappeared, every effort to reproduce it exactly has failed. Charles Reads, the novelist whose diver sion and adoration were tbe study of old violins,--many of which were finished in tbe Cremona varnish,--bears testi mony to this fact in these words: "Mors than once, even in my time hopes bare run high, but only to fall again. Borne have cried `Eureka!' to tbe public, but the moment others looked at their discovery and compared it with the real thing, 'inextinguishable laughter shook the skies.' At last despair baa suooeeded to all that energetic study, and the varnish of Cremona is sullenly given up as a lost art" Ciood Time* niid tbe Paint Trade.--"In conversation with a Toronto paint and oil jobber, I gleaned some facts, or rather, one fact, which rather surprised me," eays a Canadian trade writer. "He told me that bia experience had not always been that the years of `good times' were tbe best for tha paint trade. One year particolariy, when very many houses in To ronto were vacant becanss of `dull times' in tha city, tbs paint trade was exceptionally briak.aa competition among landlords led a great many of them to keep their homes in good repair. Of course, in seasons of `dnll times' persons owning property are, as a rule, satisfied with leas improvemeuttban when they sre reaping a share of tbe benefits accruing from `good times.' These facta being tree, tbe far-seeing paint dealer will in the present era of `good times' endeavor to reach those most likely to improve--the men owning the houses they live in. This trade is largely reached indirectly, or through tbe painter, bat tbe prediction is s safe one that s steady, determined `pash' in the sale of paints would result in increased bnsiness from this quarter. It is advisable not to use chrome greens on new walls as there is danger of their being turned io color by the preaenoe of the caustic lime in the wall. Tbe steady glare of gaslight, too, has been known to have a yellowing effect upon these colors. Capitalists who are deterred from immediately embark ing in tin* manufacture of acetylene for illuminating purpose* by ill* statement that it will cost $10 instead of 7c per thou sand feet may barn of something to their advantage by communicating with D. McFarlan Moore, an electrician of Harrison, N. J., who expects, it is said, io sell (sticks of light that will remain illumined for forly-eight bourn and will out shine rays of sunlight. Mr. Moore thicks he has discovered a new principle in molecnlsr vibration whieh wilt revolution ise the science of illumination. These light sticks operate im tbe button principle so that if a man wishes to see what time it is in the dark or find ths keyhole of bis domieile at a late hour in tbenight, instead of striking! match, which ia Habla to be blown ont by ths next gust of wind, ha will simply press the button referred to >nd the light stick will do the reet. If Mr. Moore can really make these light sticks at a reason able prios he will confer a lasting benefit on his race but he mast remember that there is a limit to the amount the average man can afford to pay even for the privelege of pressing a button and getting a sunbeam. Renewed experiments at Spezzia, Italy, with petroleum as fuel for warships have resulted in confirming the good opin ion hitherto formed by naval engineers in regard to the prac ticability of this agent as n substitute for coal in generating steam. The vessels selected for the trials ware the Sen Mar tins and the Statists. As on ths former trial, it was shown that with petroleum s high speed is obtainable. Chough before tbe new fuel can be used to advantage certain alterations mutt be made in tbe machinery of the vessels. It is highly probable that the result of the experiments will be the adop tion of petroleum as tbe sole fuel of ths Italian navy. GLD 3234 7 LETTERS No l'w for 111? ICiigllxh Syndicate.

Editor Fa ik t , On. a j id Deco Re v ik w , Chicago: The undersigned hae read with great interest in your irnue of tho; 28th alt. en article entitled " Compering Shades in Paint,'' written by Meerm. Dudley end Pease, Chemists P. R. K. Om for the Railroad and Esgitucriny Journal. Tho majority of points made by tba gentlemen io their sassy cannot be disputed, but there are some practical questions, which ere not touched in the article. 1 Taking as a specimen their specifloatioifts for standard freight car color and the dry asmpie of pigment, which they furnish to paint manufacturer* to compare shade. Die specifications call for a certain pereeoUga of Seaquknide of iron, a limited quantity of carbonate of lime and a certain percentage of sulphate of limo (fully hydrated) in the pigment. Then they demand a certain percentage of pigment and raw linseed oil. That shipments varying in shade, ate. will not b* aooaptad, also thorn that do not Como np to th* tost for lino grinding. They acknowledge that more or lew 4ln* grinding affects the shade, yet the standard furnished by them i* ao coarse that it is not fair to uw it for comparison with the fine grinding Of tba oolor as repaired. Of oouree, the standard is not furnished for a guide for grinding, but it is obvious that a finer ground paste oolor, wpeoially oxide of iron, assumes e much more milky tone, than a coarser CBS. The gentlemen named, by sending their dry standard wmplw oat w finely powdered, w is necessary to stand th* twt for fine grinding, could relieve th* paint makers of th* difficulty in shading they speak et However,'',thia|ie not th* principal difficulty, but there an vary seldom to bs found two persona who will orsotly agree upon a quastion of shade in paint, that is, upon ao asset match, unlew they have com pared shade* together lor a long time, training their eyw to tba asm* modus operand! of oompariaon. The method of comparing shades under glaw is rather a deceptive one, beesuw my oan experience hw given me some wvere leeaons in this respect It is a good enough method for uw in matching colors f pre vious shipment, as long es exactly the sum* proportion* and qnality of material hw been used, but to match a day standard or a paint mixed in a shop or the paint of another maker requires quite a different method. The only sure method ie the painting of th* sample against the oolor under way of grinding under exactly equal conditions and awaiting th* drying thereof. This ie what the practical painter* do, be they master painter* of railroad shops, deoorators. or earring* painters. In my opinion, this is the only exact method for onrapering shade*, tor th* following reaaon: Falsa Gauging of Turpentine, (Correspondence.) Bo s t o k , April 13,1801.

I am in reoeipt of tba Re v ie w of the 11th inat. and I note with ptaa- sure an article referring to the ganging of turpentine in improperly con structed barrels and that a large Engliah buyer of turpentine ie about to taka action at law againstth* official inspector* of that city, (Savannah) claiming to have been defrauded of a large amount by reason of buying turpentine in them crooked containers This develop* exactly whet I we* looking lor.

Tba only way to stamp out this ia to punish some on*. When I bad mad* demands upon partiw to make good shortages by this diehonmt transaction, they fell back on the gaugers' certificate and could not gat behind it The time hw arrived when this wall of strew should b* broken down. Soma on* must beheld responsible behind th* gauger. I have reoaived a circular issued by the Savannah Board of Trade, speaking of general chengw in th* rules of the navel store* trade. Have not had time to analyw this a* closely aa I would lika to but in article 3 it seams to m* there is something wrong. Why ahould a buyer of merohandiw bo taxed and tba tax beeom* a fund out of which an inspector all b* paid to make poop)* honest? Why ahould a boyar pay this? What do you propow to do with th* diahouwt person that oauew this trouble? Why not bang him and let ao honwt man take his place? I do not believe in the principle, if I construe that article oometly, that th* buyer should contribute to pay whet this city or state should do in the way of lawi forcing man to b* honwt or punish them if they are diahoawt I oertainly appreciate th* effort on the part of th* Board of Trade to punish tbs rascals and will try to do all that I can to aid them, but I certainly do not like article three.

War is on! Prior thereto there was grounds for differences of opinion in relation to modes of procedure having the same ultimate ends in view. Tbat time is now past. Differences of opinion, perhaps more or leas biased by partisan and financial considerations, have given place to tbe sterner con victions of duty and patriotism, and tbe people are now ooe in thought and desire--and tbat unity of purpose and action will be maintained iuviolate until tbe national bouorbas been vindicated, and the cause of humanity, civilization and inde pendence baa triumphed in strirkeu and plundered Cuba. Tbe war it on! Tbe officers of tbe government--execu tive, military and legislative--are bravely meeting tbe criais as beat they know bow, and are bound to do all io their power to bring certain and speedy success to American arms. Let every citizen and patriot give them loyal support. They may make mistakes, for 'lis human to err; but let not their mighty task under the guidance of Truth and Right be weighted by carping criticiim, fault-finding and bitter invective. Tbe duty of tbe patriot at home ia to eztend sympathy, encouragement and material aid to the patriot in the field, tbe congressional chamber, and tbe eiecutive office. Our cause i* just, the conflict unavoidable, and our duty plain. Tbe command of today ia: "Close up tbe line*; Forward march!" and tbe nation ia at tbe eervice of the constituted authorities of onr government. Whatever sacrifice is required will be cheerfully made by tbe descendants of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant If it be in treasure, tbe boundless resource* of lb-* greatest couotry on tbe globe are available; if it be to men, the nation's sous are ready io offer tbeir-livea in defense of tbe flag. Old Glory, long may she proclaim tbe doctrine of liberty, equality and self-government! And by that token tba alar* and stripes and tbe infantile banner of liberty--the bonny flag with a single star--will float over Uorrocaatlo and through out Cuba ere tbe wbite-wtoged dove of peace again apreadi her wings over a peace-loving but juat and patriotic peopla. .. All wars have their commercial aide. After .Spain acknowledges her mistake and retires from the field the world will undoubtedly witness* remarkable revival of international trade in Cuba and the l'liillippiue Islands. Of course the United States will he iu a position to tucceaefully influence the condition of such a trade revival and will reap great ma terial benefits. The United States need not worry over tbe ' probability of interference by great powers. Without Eug. ini.il. concerted set ion on tire part uf Europe if impossible sod England will never consent--ab* proposes to cultivate as never before the gUnt nation of tbe new world as the best "" means of rons-iving her own intereata. The Painter as a Dealer. Tbe following communication appeared in a recent num ber of Painting amt Decorating, being tbe view* of Mr. Arthur S. Barbier, a well-known master painter: Tbe many discussions tbat hava been held by master painters on the seemingly burning question; the right of the patoters for recognition by the manufacturers, aa the proper persona to aeli painters' goods to the public, by this means bringing the painter properly into tbe |toaition he ought to occupy, a positron that through force of circumstances he does not generally occupy to-day; and tx-caunc this position ia oc cupied by tbe grocer, hardware dealer and apothecary, the master painter rs handicapped in hia business and shorn of legitimate profits, would it not be well to consider the situstiou, pro and con, so that both painters and manufacturers can understand tbeir relative positions tatter and aotar thought develop ideae tbat will in time restore to the trade a financial benefit tbat once belonged to it, and really ought to be in its possession to-day. There are many things to be taken into consideration by tbe painter, as to the conditions surrounding tbe manufac turers, and wbat they have to do in order to place their goods on the market. While the manufacturer has lwen a large factor in bringing about the condition complained of, yet the painter, by hie apathy towards tbe subject the pact twenty years, has very materially aided in briugiug himself to tbe condition of being a very unimportant factor iu tbe ryea of many manufacturers. To explain what I mean by my last statement; is the painter aware tbat to-day more goods io tire way of paint* are sold by manufacturers to persons who are not painters than to tbe painters themselves? It is a fact, that very few painters realize, but if you doubt my statement, master painters, inquire^for yourselves We invite voiir Inquiry and order for EPSOM SILT.

It the sample to be examined ii in the form of e mixed peint it will be sdvantageons to free the pigment from the mixing fluid. Thie may be done in several way*. When nothing but the composition of the pigment is desired the simplest method is to take abont 25 grams of the sample, pre viously thoroughly stirred, and pour in a small beaker of about 150 C. C. capacity. This is then filled with ordinary gasoline, naphtha or petroleum-ether and then allowed to stand until the liquid is clear. Pont off the elear liquid and add more gasoline or solvent. Generally three or fonr appli cations will be found sufficient to free tne pigment from all oil and moat of the dryer, the latter being disregarded. The gasoline or aolvent is then entirely evaporated from the pig ment by heating in an air oven at a temperature of 100 C. until the remaining aolvent. ia entirely evaporated It ia then rubbed np in an agate or porcelain mortar and passed through a fine seive. The sample ia then ready for analysis. When it is necessary to be extremely accurate in getting the percentage of mixing flnid and pigment it will be found beat to exhaust the sample in a Soxhlet extractor using petro leum ether or ordinary sulphuric ether as a solvent A con venient size of Koxhlet extractor ia one inch in diameter and nine inches high with the arrangement as shown in the cnt The iuaide tube is an ordinary teat tube with a hole cut or blown in tbe bottom. The bottom of the tube ia then pitched with a piece of cotton (0). The tn lie (1*2) and cotton are weighed first, then the sample of paint ia add ed, and the whole weighed again. Tbe increase being the weight of sample taken. Another plug of cotton will be found necessary in cases when the pigment is so light that it floats to tbe top of the test tube. This occurs usually when the cotton is packed too tight to permit the solvent to flow out tbe bottom as fast as it condenses and oftentimes, it will be necessary to place a small glass stopper on the upper layer as a weight to prevent tbe coutenls of tbe tube from over flowing or floating lo the top. When such an arrangement is necessary the whole tube including sample, aud two pluga of cotton are weighed bnt not the glass which was added as weight Abont an ounce of tbe solvent ether or petroleum-ether is then placed iu the flask and tbe water heated in tbe water bath not quite to boiliug point Soon the ether will latgiu to app<ar in the cor.deuaer anil drop back in the teet tube cobtaining the paint and passing down through the sample will fill up in tube flit I aud sypbone over. This operation ia kept up until tbe solvent liquid is perfectly clear and shows uo color which in most cases would be due to oil. I'sually about a dozen syphonings will be sufficient but sample* vary aud it is best to allow the extractor lo work until the . Waur Outlet water in solvent condenses perfectly colorless. Tbe test tube 112) containing the oil- ?^7Lk.,'s wai^ESI- free paint is now removed *Dd tbo- ih Condnutox won*. n. osa roughly dried iu s drying oven and hvoTube1 T'"r"b'' ,x801' then weighed. The loss in weight equals tbe oil present, and the dried sample is taken out to be used for tbo analysis. If it is desired to find the amount of oil, the small flask (8) can be weighed before tbe operation and then the ether is evaporated in an air oven and the amount of tbe extracted oil weighed. If a very rapid analysis is desired the mixed paint can often time* be boiled directly with strong nitrie acid when the cil will collect in a gummy floating mass and can be filtered off and washed well with hot water aoidnlsted with nitric acid.

Gs., have been in au excited slat* owing to the possibility of tronbl* between naval stores factor*, who are very seriously at outs with each other. A press dispatch from tbe big naval stores center slates that Messrs. Cbestnutt and O'Neil, naval stores operators are arrayed on one side, wbils J. R. Garnett, of Garnett, S. C,, with bi* friend, John R. Yonog. of Elliv, Young A-Co. naval stores prodneers, and Mill D. Lane, vice-president ol the Citizens' bank, are on the other. The latter gentlemen are acting as Mr. Garnett's friends, anil it is said are trying to bring sl>out an amicable settlement of impeodiog difficnlties. The difference* between Messrs. Cbestnutt and O'Neil and Mr. Garnett grew out of the fffnrt to form a naval stores trust in Savannah. Cbestnutt *Dd O'Neil refused to go into tbe plan, and in an interview gave out tbe contract they were expected to sign. Mr. Garnett looked upon this act * a breach of con fidence, and with tbe two frieodt named called on Mr. Cliesrnott at liia residence and demanded u retraction of some state ments made in bia interview. Tbe retraction was denied them. Mr. O'Neil, in an interview pnblished by a local paper nrxt day, eaid: "It ha* been iutimated to me that certain parlies may call at toy office with a cowhide to make Mr. Cbestnutt and myself retract I want to pnt anyone with auy such idea in his head on rioticn that if they step into my office with such an ides, they will b* ahot to death. 1 will kill them if it is the last act of my life." Savannah and tributary town* are on tbe *joi five over this matter. There is much speculation as to the final out- I come. A Drummer'* Bill.

The Spring Paint Trade. There is a diversity of opinion among local paint grind ers respecting tbe results so far experienced relating to 1892 business, hut there is tn unanimous opinion in regard to tha outlook for spring business, which they all affirm to be un usually bright. t When the National Lead and Oil* Company of New Jar- sey, metaphorically threw down tbe gnantlet of competition in the shape of a public announcement that thereafter that company, and tbe corrodera compoeing it, were prepared to supply dealers direct with tinting colors for making any desired shade of white lead shown on their color card, many grinders felt that the coming year wonld be one of severe competition in the sale of mixed paint. Others, recalling the necessity which brought tbe mixed paint bnaineea into exist ence- the convenience of ready-mixed colors--argued that the new departure of the oorroders was more for the purpose of supplying consumers such as artisan* who bad tbe skill and preferred to mix their own colors, and that the unskilled consumer would moat likely continue to prefer tbe ready- mixed article. All grinders, however, agreed in their antici pation of greater competition this year, and they ware not alow in preparing for it A Tour of the Bontli. Tbe departure this week for the South of a body of Chi cago gentlemen may be said to be fairly representative of tbe North, as a friendly vieit of business men who sre en gaged on a pleasant junket Looked at in another light, how ever, it assumes an aapect far more serious, and it is a movement which may be fraught with far-reaohiog consequences to both sections. Afters visit to tbe Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta, tbe party will accept the invitations of the mayors of Savannah, Augusts andother cities. In these cities the men of the North will meet the representative business men of the South and the result can not but be beneficial in tbe stimulus which must necessarily be imparted aa a result of this meeting. It seems to us that this junket, combining both business and pleasure, will lack completeness unless tbe oil, paint and drug interests of Chicago and the Northwest are represented. There sre surely enough delegates from these important and widely extended industries to be found to fill at least one car,, and unite with their brother adventurers in tbeir expedition into the region known aa tbe "New South." A hearty welcome doubtless await* all those willing to avail themselves of tbe cordial invitation extended by these Southern communities, and aa a mere advertisement of Northern commodities and as affording an opportunity to foster new markets, the sugges tion is worthy of consideration.

The presentation of a liberal aam of money to their employee waa a practical exhibition of the generoua impulses of the courteous members of the firm, but the pro mulgation of a notice by them that henceforth all employes remaining in the service of the house for fifteen years will share in the profits of the bnsinees, was a new departure which could only be borne of a spirit of generosity far in advance of ordinary bnsineaa usages, reflecting the highest ' credit upon a house which, thus unsought, ami without need of such a course of actiou, having always been open banded to their wage-earners, liberally acknowledge* the fidelity of old employee by the gift to each of au interest in the profile of the firm, as those employes may assist in tho realization of such profits. This sort of recognition of faithful service cannot fail to endear tbe members of the house to the recip ients of this bounty, at the same time furnishiug au incentive to all employes to give their l>est service, kuowing that, hav ing fulfilled the proper probationary period, they will themarlvee enter into tbe same privileges and realize a reasonable portion of their past labor, reaping as they have sown. There arc but few firme in the country, comparatively shaking, who have inaugurated this broad-minded policy to ward employee, the firm of Heath & Milligan beiug the first, : wo believe, to introduce it into the paiut manufacturing busi- - ness. Photography of Color*. In the last number of tho Monitrur tit1 hi Photographir, referring to the so remarkable reproduction of a spectrum obtained by the Messrs. Lumieie. by the method of M. Lippmanu, we said that everything was endangered liy the admis sion of the least trace of white light, as this would darkeu the entire intervening screen and coneetjuontly suppress it. We asked ourselves how it would l)e (tossibls to prevent this injur ious intervention. In the course of our experiments on poly chrome projections with the aid of three lanterns,-we con ceived tbe idea that if tbe polychrome image obtained on the screen were projected in a camera on a sensitive plate arranged as is that of M. Lippmann, wo would obtain in this manner a polychrome image formed of composite colored radiations, without being hindered in tbe experiment by white refleeted light. In fact, the luminous rays of the three lantern* are filtered through three prints, which are veritable sieves with unequal meshes: moreover, they pass through three medium* of different color*, which suppress all the white light except that pertaining to that pari of the local image where should ho produced the effect* of the whiles. In these condition* the experiment may be attempted, and we do not see why, if the sensitive tilin' jm*p*sn* tin* suitable qualities of tr*Dellicense, we might not arrive nt the desired arrangement of an inter vening screen, giving exactly the mixed vibrations and tbe res|iectiv<> length of waves suitable for communicating to oar eye the color* corrcsimndiug to tbe original. These sensa tion*, in a word, would !* produced by a vibration analogous to those resulting from the direction of the natural colors on our visual organ. We may be told that the method would be very indirect, since it would be necessary to first obtain three negatives of n subject iu different conditions; afterward pro ject the tlireu positives from these negatives, in three distinot lanterns, through lights of three different colors, on a sensi tive plate to be developed and fixed in tbe ordinary manner. We will answer that we must first reach the goal, even if we have to do so indirectly; if we rsach it, we will find a method afterward to shorten tbe road, and to attain more direetly the final end.--Leon Vidal, in Moniteur dc la Photographic. Tlic Knorniou* Sums I'liiit I'or Comments! Traveler*. ``The money used iu a single year to foot the salary and expense bills of tbe traveling salesmen of the United State* would pay off the entire natioual debt aud leave a few dollera over." This rather startling statement was made by a junior member of one of the large dry goods houses of this city, who has a force of about fifty travelers under hie immediate charge. As a proof of his assertion he presented tb<**e particulars: "There is hadly a wholesale, jobbing or commission house in any line of business in thn United States that does not have at least a traveling representative, and from one lone man ths traveling force ranges up as high aa 123 or 150 wen, aud there may be ouo or two houses with even more. The average of the most reliable estimates place tbe total nuinWr of com mercial tourists in this country at 250,(XO; nml, mind you, this does not mean iieddlers, but only those who sell goods at wholesale. ``The railroad fares, charges for carrying sample baggage by freight or express, hotel bills and numerous incidental traveling expenses of these men will range between 4 aud 12 per day, but some men will spend 925 in a single day for these purposes without resortiug to any extravagance. Take for iustauce, some of the carpet, clothing or fancy goods men wluvcArry ten to fiftecu trunks full of samples, take a packer with them and hire a hotel parlor to display their gooda w henever they open their trunks. But the number of these men is comparatively small, and Hi a day will fairly represent the average expenses of the 250,000 men. There you have 91,500.000 per day for expenses alone. Multiply this by 005, and you have $517,500,000 aa the amount expended in nun year. "The item of salaries is nearly aa large. Few men are paid leas than $90(1 per year. The largest number receive lietween $1,500 aud $2,500. either in salaries or commissions. A leaser number are paid from $3,000 to $5,000-- those receiving the latter amount being comparatively few. Hut there are traveling salesmen who are always in demand at $10,000 to $15,1X10 a year; hut they are few aiid far between. The lower salaried predominate, a* might he supposed, and an average of $1,800 per year is out far nut of the way. Figuring 250,000 men at an average $1,800 per year gives a total of $450,000,000, according to my arithmetic. To this add $517,500,000 for expenses, aud you have $,.|!)7,5U>,000 for these two items.

The need of more liberal education in the chemistry of pigments, oil*, etc., and their combination into finiahed pro duct* for the manifold purpose* to which virion* description* of goods are pat in the consuming paint and oil trades, baa attracted some attention, and the claim* urged by Mr. F. H. - Palmer, of Cleveland, are worthy of careful consideration. He rightly maintains that educated employees meaus greater efficiency and larger reaults, that a scientific knowledge of the psint bnsiness would tend to an improvement in the grades of good* offered tbs consuming public, aud effect a betterment of trade condition* from the ataudpoiut of both maoufarturer and container. Tbe paint trade baa ita fetiches--its supersti tions and dogmas--aud the stimulation of independent in vestigation on the part of the man who work in the factories, in salesrooms and "on the road," will do Duch toward eliminating a blind adherence to view* that are challenged by progressive and unconventional thinkers and student* of the trade. Results should attest the merits or demerits of goods. It abould be continually borne in mind that industrial history ia largely a record of innovations, aud no product is so perfectly euited to the demands made upon it that it is not in danger of competition with something as good or displace ment by something better--tbe outcome of research, experi ment and a broader knowledge of psint chemistry. As the Rev iew understands it, absolute perfection in paints and varnishes is not regarded as a possibility. Tbe merit of a psrtieulsr pigment, vehicle, etc., being one of pure relativity, the position of tbe dogmatist appears very insecure in this age of rationalistic inquiry. The Re v ie w for the reaenns indicated heartily indorsee the spirit sud intent of Mr. Palmer's paper, read before tbe Cleveland meeting of tbe National Paint, Oil and Varniah Association, and prints it below--tame being detached from the regular proceedings of tbs meeting by way of emphasizing its claims for tbe thought ful consideration of oar readers: Tb object of prcaentioR thU |*]*r ito indu'-t h u m**. mi..I if bUall >akr* of a&d tUaUrs in paint to uk ImvarJ the U-tl. r ducattaa of their *mploya ie their particular liiu.

Whtt becomes of the oil in prints when tbe latter dries? is a question that ia frequently asked, and answered by lb* exp* rt rather infrequently. It msy be observed that oils exposed to the air absorb oxygen freely, and Ibose containing liueolie acid, known a* drying oils, of wbicb linseed nil is the type, "thereby harden into a solid translucent semi-elastic body, a property of the greatest value in the arts." When oil paint laused tba paint after a abort time becomes wbat is called painters' "dry;" that ie, tbe coating will no longer lake an impression from tbe finger. But tbe change is not due to the evaporation of any volatile liquid, but to the absorption of oxygen from tbe air. This is easily proved.- If three baaid-i are painted with white lead psint, and one ot them be placed iu a veesel containing oxygen, tbe second in a vessel containing air, and the third ia left in the open air, tbe first will "dry" three time* faster than either of tbe others. Tbns a quick drying paint ia ona that absorb* oxygen from the uir rapidly. Paint "dries'' more quickly at a high temperature than at a low one; that ia, oxidatiou pr.iceeds more quickly ut 89 degrees Fahronneit than at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and this ie why painters vary the amount of "drying oil" which they add to their paint according to the season of the year. Questionable Point Sale Promoters? At the last annual convention of tbe National Paint, Oil and Varnish Association, there were two recommendation* to the trade concurred iu by that body, which, if observed by the trade at large during Ibis past winter, spring sad present summer season, will most likely afford room for many m>n- gratulations at the coming aunual convention at New York next November. The recommendations referred to were those deprecating the uncommercial practice of dating bills ahead and tbe gratuitous bestowal of brushes and other goods upon customers to induce sales, the Board of Coutrol requesting the trade during 1892 to refrain from such practice. It is impossible, at this date, to know exactly how theee recommendations have been observed, but they will moat likely be referred to at tbe coming convention, and it may be found that the practioee has been much curtailed daring this year. The Re v iew at least hopes that this may be the case. There ha* been plenty of room heretofore for just such re forms as these, and they are avenuea to better commercial! dealings and eventually larger profits if followed op closely.

The Chicago Painters' Supply Association, said to be composed of about two hundred of the leading retail paint desilere of Chiosgo, is actively engaged in perfecting plans for more extended operations. Public meetings are not being held during the busy months, but the work of the executive council of twenty-eight, made np of the executive committee from each of the four diviaiona of the eiiy, continues nuabated. J. D. Riley, secretary of the Association, who has au office in the Ashland Block, declared himself in the presence of a Rev iew representative as follows: "Yes, wears preparing to inaugurate a more vigorous campaign for the summer and fall than waa first contemplated. Our efforts to establish the line of demarcation lietweeu wholesalers and retailers has met with hearty re*i>onee and oo-operation from both classes. We are opposed to linking the two branches of trade together, because it breeds 'unjust price-cutting and demoralises business. Our members now purchase mainly of bouses who confine their efforts to supply ing retail dealers and will do so exclusively in a short time. Thus far no difficulty baa been experienced in obtaining all grades of stock from non-retailing wholesalers at thu lowest Jobbing prices, and the number of customers who come to a member's store and go away unsupplied because a particular brand of mixed paint or varnish cannot be chained is not to bring about that result Manufacturers and jobbers can not sell us and our trade aimultaneonely. We insist on reci procity, which is only another term for fair trade." Manufacturers who maintain retail departments are out. spoken in the belief that the Painters' Association scheme lacks cohesive properties and will not succeed, particularly when the field of conquest is in a tnt of detached cities where the conditions cannot always be the same. They hold that the retailer*' grievance is more imagiuery than real, and as a whole the jobbing bouse protects its trade by prices that can not injure near-by retailers C. C. Barrett, of the Devoe & Reynolds Company, in a brief discussion of the nistter, said: "We heard nocomplaiet from city dealers prior to the advent of the new organization. Our retail department aupolies consuming trade is in the busi ness district and no effort has ever been made to push it by advertising or other methods Wbst is true of us is true of other booses" J. A Bqueir, of the Aletou Manufacturing Company, says: "We are not alarmed. At best this Association can do little. Large houses must bsvs salesrooms and offices in the heart of the city oorvenient to their visiting tiade, and a ground floor is preferable. When these are thus acquired, slight additional expense is incurred by conducting a retail business and there is a demand for it down town. We get better prices for goods sold at retail than many do, especially retailers who are located from three to ten miles out," "We have learned, however, that to gain ultimate and complete success, the movement must need have a wider field, and the retailers of the other large cities of the country art ready and anxious to be brought into line. My correspon dence bas elicited tbs fact that conditions similar to those complained of hers prevail in Mew York, fioeton, Philadel phia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other important business centers. It is our purpose to force the various paint, varnish and wall-paper factors to assume the position either of distributors or retailers, and the combined influence of the city retailers of the country is potent enough Do Not Use RED LEADvp>n.X...
