The technique of wood engrav- ing for book illustrating and color print- ing is an important study. Boards planed to a smooth surfaee are used; upon this a thin trapsparent paper upon which a design has been traced iz pasted face down on the block. Sometimes to make this more ¢lear the paper is oiled to make every line visible; the outline is then cu completely away with a knife and the engraved block is ready for use. In black and white one block only is used, but in color printing a separate block for each color must be made, sometimes for an elaborate design a series of as many as eight or ten blocks bejng Used. The color is mixed and iaid on the block with a flat, thick brush, rice paste being used to set the shade: then paper, gencrally that made from the mulberry bark, is damp- ened and laid on the design, and the im- seion Is taken. This process is repeated th each color on separate blocks, the result being beautiful prints in soft tone, which can be obtained in no other way. Miss Hyde has mastered the art of printing in color, and also that of mak- ing her own blocks, and soon in an aux- illary studio there will be a pile of smoothly planed boards, and this young Tokio 5 Strong as an ox and full of health and Vigor.

Nelson's case is re- markable in the annals of surgery. The shooting was as mysterious as the result is wonderful. One evening in the summer of 1896 Nel- son and Miss Marguerite Staples were sitting on the banks of a lagoon in Wash- ington Park. Suddenly a negro thrust his head from a clump of bushes-and-fired a revolver at Mr. Nelson. Nelson fell to the ground and the police came in answer — 5 Hazrt, Yot Kacps Alive and Well to Miss Staples’ screams.

They toid Nelson that he had | one chance in a thousand to live, and that | an operation would mean a quicker death. Nelson took the chance. He said he would | live and_carry the bullet with him.
