VENETIAN MOSAICS.
An Old and Brauttfut Art ft* v t v d *1
Modem Drmnndi-
The revival at Venice of the mosaic
art, chiefly for Internal and external
•rtlatlc decoretlon of private and pub-
lic buildings, goes on uninterruptedly
and working In mosaic la now (our
consul says) carried on In that city on
• large scale and with great success,
•ays the London Daily News. A mosaic
la a work framed by the use of "tes-
•erae" or small cubos of enamel, mar-
ble or other material and of a gold-
and-sllver leaf between two films oi
the purest glass of various colors,
which are skillfully mixed on cement
■ ao as to produce the effect of a picture.
The composition of human figures In
different attitudes, animals, draperies
or other objects repulrlng a careful de-
lineation are Intrusted to the best
workmen and the execution of the
background to less trained workmen.
The splendid mosaics which are made
at Venice continue to be In great de-
mand In the artistic markets of the
world for the skillful manner In which
the tesserae are arranged, for their ex-
treme beauty and delicacy of color, the
rich harmony of effect and from their
being nearly indestructible. The man-
ner in which mosaics are now made
for decorative purposes Is quite dif-
ferent from the elaborate system used
by the ancients, which consisted in fix-
ing the tesserae one by one on the
cement previously applied on the wall.
The modern method of the Venetian
achool consists in executing the mosaic
In the workshop by having the tesserae
fixed with common paste on the section
of the cartoon assigned to each work-
man. When all the parts of the mosaic
are complete they are put together on
the floor or on a special wooden frame.
The mosaic, which is then a perfect
representation of the original cartoon,
Is again divided Into sections an the
reverse side, marked with a progres-
alve number and carefully packed to
be sent off to the place for which It Is
Intended. The surface of the wall
where the mosaic Is to be fixed Is then
covered with cement, Into which the
aectlons of the mosaic are uniformly
pressed according to their numbers
and the key-plan supplied to the fixers.
When the cement has hardened the
paper on which the tesserae fiave been
pasted Is gently taken oft and the faith-
ful copy of the original cartoon Is again
exhibited on the right Bide.
A TRACEDY IN MID-AIR.
The Hawk Catches the Weasel, but Gets
the H'ornt of lb
The weaiel is a dainty and luxurious
liver, In his way, gays the Houston
Post. He steals the freshest eggs, se-
lects the tenderest chickens of the
brood, and will sometimes kill several
for a single meal, sucking the warm
blood and eating only a small portion
of the flesh. He Is not only sly and
cunning, but remarkably courageous,
He will often attack an enemy much
larger and stronger than himself, and
he does not lose his wits even In Im-
minent peril. This heroic quality Is
sometimes strikingly evinced. Two
farmers In Titus County, Texas, were
eating their midday meal, when they
noticed a large hawk circling In the
aky overhead. He was gradually
narrowing his circles while ap
proachlng the ground, and it was ap-
parent that he would soon drop upon
his victim. The men looked about
cautiously, without movement or noise,
and presently discovered a weasel
stretched out upon the warm side of
a log, not far away, probably sunning
himself after a long morning's sleep,
for the weasel does his sleeping in the
daytime and his work at night. But
the weasel quietly blinked at the sun,
either unconscious of the danger or In-
different to it. The farmers had just
made this discovery when the hawk
came gliding down, swift as an arrow,
seized the weazel in his powerful tal-
ons and rose again alomst perpendicu-
larly. All seemed at an end for that
weasel. Soon, however, the move-
ments of the great bird became strange
and unnatural. His wings worked
rapidly and convulsively, as If making
a great effort to sustain flight, then he
began to sink, slowly till finally he fell
straight like a plummet to the ground
—dead! From under the outstretched
wings crept the weasel, apparently un-
harmed. What had happened? The
weasel had quickly stretched his long
supple neck under the hawk's wing,
stuck his teeth into a vital part and
sucked out the life blood. The mus-
cles of the hawk relaxed as the blood
was rapidly drained. There was a last
desperate effort at flight; the wings
flapped uselessly in the air, and the
heaviness of death brought him swiftly
to the ground, very near the spot where
the weasel had been basking In the sun.
