PRESERVATION OF SURFACES. Crude but Effective Processes Employ ed by the Egyptians and Greeks of Pliny’s Day—Noah Prudently Waterproofed the Ark. Whether paint was invented in an swer to a need for a preservative or to meet a desire for beauty is a question fully as knotty as the ancient one about tlie relative time of arrival of the chicken or the egg. It was invented, though, and it serves both purposes equally; so whether it is an offspring of mother necessity or an adopted son of beauty remains forever a disputed question. The first men, cowering under the fierce and glaring suns of the biblical countries, constructed rude huts of wood to shelter them. The perishable nature of these structures caused rapid decay, and it is probable that the oc cupants, seeking some artificial means of preservation, hit upon the pigments of the earth in their search. It is per haps natural to suppose that It was tiie instinct of preservation that led men to the search, although the glories of the sunsets and tlie beauties of the rainbow may have created a desire to Imitate those wonders in their own dwellings. Tin; earliest record of the applica tion of a preservative to a wooden structure dates from the ark, which was, according to the Bible, “pitched within and without.” The pitch was a triumph of preservation whatever it lacked as a tiling of beauty. Dot-oration applied to buildings first conies to light with ancient Babylon, whose walls were covered with repre sentations of hunting scenes and of combat. These were done in red and tlio method followed was to paint the scene on tlie bricks t the time of manufacture, assuring permanence by baking. Strictly speaking, this was not painting so much as it was the earliest manifestation of our own fa miliar kalsomining. The first Hebrew to mention paint ing is Moses. In the thirty-third chap ter of the book of Numbers he in structs the Israelites, “When ye have passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then shall ye drive out all the inhabitants of the land from be fore you and destroy all their pic tures. , . At later periods the Jews adopted many customs of the peoples who suc cessively obtained power over them and in the apocryphal hook of the Maccabees is found this allusion to the art of decorating, “For as the mas ter builder of anew house must care for the whole building, but lie that Undertaketh to set it out and paint it, must seek out tilings for the adorning thereof." Although Homer gives credit to a Greek for the discovery of paint, the allusions to it ill the hooks of Moses, the painted mummy cases of tlie Egyp tians and tlie decorated walls of Baby lon and Thebes fix its origin at a period long .antecedent to the Grecian era. Tlie walls of Thebes were paint ed 1,900 years before the coming of Christ and 990 years before “’Oilier smote his bloomin’ lyre." The Greeks recognized the value of paint as a preservative and made use of something akin to it on their ships. I'liriy writes of tlie mode of boiling wax and painting ships with it, after which, lie continues, “neither the sea, nor the wind, nor the sun can destroy tlie wood tints protected." The Unmans, being essentially a warlike people, never brought the dec oration of buildings to the high plane it had reached witli tlie Greeks. For all that tlie ruins of Pompeii show many structures whose mural decora tions arc in fair shape today. The colors used were glaring. A black background was the usual one and tlie combinations worked thereon red, yel low and blue. In the early Christian era tlie use of mosaics for churches somewhat sup planted mural painting. Still, during the reign of Justinian tlie Church of Saint Sophia was built at Constantino ple and its walls were adorned with paintings. In modern times the uses of paint have come to be as numerous as its myriad shades and tints. Paint is unique in that its name tas no syno nym and for it there is no substitute material. Bread is the staff of life, but paint is the life of the staff. No one thinks of the exterior of a wooden building now except in terms of point coated. Interiors, too, from painted v.yills and stained furniture down lo the lowliest kitchen utensil, all receive their protective covering. Steel, so often associated with cement re-enforcing, is tainted belore it goes to give solidity to the manufactured stone. The huge girders of the sky scrapers are daubed an ugly but eßi etont red underneath tlie surface coat of black. Perhaps tlie best example of the value of paint on steel Is found in the venerable Brooklyn bridge, on which a gang of painters is kept go ing continually. It is scarce possible to think of a single manufactured ar ticle which does not meet paint some where in the course of its construc tion. So has paint grown into the very marrow of our lives.

FAITH WON, SAYS FOCH PARIS, April 4.—Tlie writer asked Marshal Ficli if liis strategic science was a doctrine that could he taught or if it was rattiyr not that faculty “to divine and improvise—called genius." “Strategic science,” said Marshal Foch, “can he acquired, hut it is not a group of formulas or a set of princi ples. It is a knowledge which the chief must make part of himself so that it will guide all his decisions. This mental discipline can he gained by a study of history and by a study of concrete ex amples. It must leave the mind of the commander so open that he acts on ac curate information and not preconceiv ed ideas and hypotheses. But the most brilliant qualities of intelligence are nothing without tlie will to victory. The battle won is the battle in which one refuses to admit one’s self-beaten, because the army is to tlie chief what the sword is to the soldier. Its value lies in the hand that wields it.”—Tran script. Go along the streets of our city and you can pick out the hoys, who in the next decade, will bo grumblers and growlers. You will see them sit ting idle on a dry goods box, swing ing their feet and squirting tobacco juice. In ton or twenty years from now they* will lie doing the same thing and declaring tlie world lias been made all wrong. Never having made an ef fort to do anything for themselves they do not like those who have; having nothing themselves, they look upon every man who lias gained property or high standing or high professional repu tation through unceasing toil and econo my of time and means, as having wronged them in some way, and 3s an enemy to be denounced in season and out of season.
