Mosaics are artistic designs produced by . simply prranging small, Stones or effect of paintng. The Florentine mosaics are formed of stones of the ‘natural eolots cut in different designs. For example, the petal of a jessamine will be seen to be ‘eomplete (mot formed of other stopes smaller) and uncolored; the ealyce well formed from ao green stone. A daisy from a white one, with the stems green, and therefore tbat style is confined to the floral designs and. arabesques. There are two distinct mosaics, the Romanand Florentine. In the Roman Mosaic, the field is ‘much wider. In Rome there isa stones or smalts, the technicah name of which is Ossosae, of. which the mosaicsare made, and as many as twenty-five shades of these stones are made there. They are generally opaque. They are cemented togetber as tiles, and Jarge or infinitesima] copies of pictures can be made with them. Paintings by the old masters--a San Silta of Raphael; an . Ecce Homo; a Mater Dolorosa ora Beatrice de Ceuci by Dolci, have been wonderfully duplicated in mosaic. Mosaics have been ~manufactured for such a great while that the origin of the art‘is unknown, This work embraces several varieties: The Roman, thé Florentine, and the Byzimtine. The Venetian mosaic is chiefly employed for ornamenting furniture. Coral is seen here in its perfection, the most exquisite coming from Africa and the Mediterraneab. The Neapolitans send us the most delicately carved and elaborate designs. The value of coral depends upon the color, which is known to few save to connoisseurs. The red is inexpensive, the most desirable ‘being the slightest tinge of pink. A very beautiful piece of coral here is carved into a bas-relief of cupids atid flowers. Itis about two: anda half by ‘four inches in height and . width, and an inch thick. In’ color it is a light red, showing also some pink. It is the most valuable piece op exhibition. “A mach larger piece is required’ in the cutting than in the object, it being so very brittle and liable to’ break. The beautiful sets of bijoux of ruses, and fuchsias and bads are comparatively of little value, for these boquets are formed of small pieces: snd not from one, piece. The most skillful manipulations of gold and silver into filagree work is that shown by the Genoise. The flagree is done entirely by hand, and all classes, male and female, young and old, are engaged i in it.

For the cultivated and refined taste, the stone cameos elicit universal admiration. The Italians make a specialty of these carvings, and illustrate the process from the initial stage to the perfection of the designs. ‘The art of cutting into th stone, which for ages was lost, i now révived. and the classic designs which we were dependent Ypon the antiques for, is now easily obthan when they were so mate asto make them of prieeless value.

Although the animal had comunitted of : Chinatown where the elephant was found was thrown into a state of terrors and confusion. It appeared that the baby elephant had entered Hung Lee’s gambling-house, on I Street, where a number of Chinamen were engaged in. playing ‘tan.’ The place’is a sort of cellar, entered by a natrow incline from the street. .When the young elephant entered the gambling-house the Chinamen suspended their game with one accord, and: sought their bunks for safety. In the bunks were a number of opium-smokers and the intruder apparently attracted by the smell, poked his trank about in the bunks and snuffed up the fragrance of the pipe te the horror of the Chinamen, who began to pray in the jargon of ion of special deities, After a while, however, they found that the little elephant was perfectly harmless and tried to eject him, but without avail, Presently there was a commotion xt the entrance and the mother was discovered attempting to force ker way through the narrow passage which, being bound by solid earth at the sides, resisted ull her efforts. Fiuding the passage too small the eleephunt began tearing down the sides, making the boards fly at a lively rate and filling the place with dust. The Chinamen with remarkable presence of mind, saw that the baby elephant was the sulé cause of the other wishing to enter, and accordingly by a united effort and by belaboring it with sticks and thrusting sharp instruments into its hide, they drove it to the entrance, within reach of the old one’s tronk. ‘Taking a half-hitch arownd the little elephaut’s right fore-leg, tbe fond mother yanked it out of the cellar without the least trouble. But the baby elephant was us Obstitiateas a spoiled child, and evinced. a determination pot to gohcme. Finally tie old ove flung ber flexible old Saratoga around the baby’s middle, and lifting him clear off the ground, marched deliberately back to the teat. Both animals were then securely chained, and there was no more trouble.

A daisy from a white one, with the stems green, and therefore tbat style is confined to the floral designs and. arabesques. There are two distinct mosaics, the Romanand Florentine. In the Roman Mosaic, the field is ‘much wider. In Rome there isa stones or smalts, the technicah name of which is Ossosae, of. which the mosaicsare made, and as many as twenty-five shades of these stones are made there. They are generally opaque. They are cemented togetber as tiles, and Jarge or infinitesima] copies of pictures can be made with them. Paintings by the old masters--a San Silta of Raphael; an . Ecce Homo; a Mater Dolorosa ora Beatrice de Ceuci by Dolci, have been wonderfully duplicated in mosaic. Mosaics have been ~manufactured for such a great while that the origin of the art‘is unknown, This work embraces several varieties: The Roman, thé Florentine, and the Byzimtine. The Venetian mosaic is chiefly employed for ornamenting furniture. Coral is seen here in its perfection, the most exquisite coming from Africa and the Mediterraneab. The Neapolitans send us the most delicately carved and elaborate designs. The value of coral depends upon the color, which is known to few save to connoisseurs. The red is inexpensive, the most desirable ‘being the slightest tinge of pink. A very beautiful piece of coral here is carved into a bas-relief of cupids atid flowers. Itis about two: anda half by ‘four inches in height and . width, and an inch thick. In’ color it is a light red, showing also some pink. It is the most valuable piece op exhibition. “A mach larger piece is required’ in the cutting than in the object, it being so very brittle and liable to’ break. The beautiful sets of bijoux of ruses, and fuchsias and bads are comparatively of little value, for these boquets are formed of small pieces: snd not from one, piece. The most skillful manipulations of gold and silver into filagree work is that shown by the Genoise. The flagree is done entirely by hand, and all classes, male and female, young and old, are engaged i in it.

For the cultivated and refined taste, the stone cameos elicit universal admiration. The Italians make a specialty of these carvings, and illustrate the process from the initial stage to the perfection of the designs. ‘The art of cutting into th stone, which for ages was lost, i now révived. and the classic designs which we were dependent Ypon the antiques for, is now easily obthan when they were so mate asto make them of prieeless value.

It appeared that the baby elephant had entered Hung Lee’s gambling-house, on I Street, where a number of Chinamen were engaged in. playing ‘tan.’ The place’is a sort of cellar, entered by a natrow incline from the street. .When the young elephant entered the gambling-house the Chinamen suspended their game with one accord, and: sought their bunks for safety. In the bunks were a number of opium-smokers and the intruder apparently attracted by the smell, poked his trank about in the bunks and snuffed up the fragrance of the pipe te the horror of the Chinamen, who began to pray in the jargon of ion of special deities, After a while, however, they found that the little elephant was perfectly harmless and tried to eject him, but without avail, Presently there was a commotion xt the entrance and the mother was discovered attempting to force ker way through the narrow passage which, being bound by solid earth at the sides, resisted ull her efforts. Fiuding the passage too small the eleephunt began tearing down the sides, making the boards fly at a lively rate and filling the place with dust. The Chinamen with remarkable presence of mind, saw that the baby elephant was the sulé cause of the other wishing to enter, and accordingly by a united effort and by belaboring it with sticks and thrusting sharp instruments into its hide, they drove it to the entrance, within reach of the old one’s tronk. ‘Taking a half-hitch arownd the little elephaut’s right fore-leg, tbe fond mother yanked it out of the cellar without the least trouble.
