Th ia col lection, which waa exhibited in 1889 at the exposition ef decorative arts,1 might rival any cue of those belonging to the most cnthusiastta bnttoniats- in the world. ' Clapisaon, the musician, col lected 7,750 different specimens.' In 1849 a collector in Ghent exhibited more than 80,000, and ,1L Maignien, tbe librarian of tba Grenoble library, gained a certain reputation in tbia branch of cariosities through his collec tion of buttons of liverie end of uni forms. The buttons of tbe eighteenth century bring high price in tbe market at the present time. There are acme of them that Fragonard, we are told, decorated with hia marvelous pencil. In bia time it waa fashionable to make presents of but tone aa big aa a crown piece, on which allegories and various subjects were carved. Bachaumost writes in hia "Secret Memoirs, " Nov. 18, 1780: "The mania for bul toes is today extremely ridicu lous. Tbry are not only of enormous aice, aome cf them as big as six pound crowns, but miniatures and pictures are mode upon them, and this ornamenta tion ia extremely costly. Some of them represent the medals of the 13 Clears, others autiqoe statues and still others the Metamorphoses of Ovid. " Iabey, in bis biographical notes, ays that when be came to Paris he worked for a livirig by making copies cf Vaolctfi and Bouchers on the lids of fuiufTboxcp, cud tbat for these medal lions be v. r.s paid from 6 to 8 francs each. "As it was still the fashion, " he said, "to vesr buttons as big as a 6 fraiio p:tce, vr-cu which Cupids, flowers aud lauufcupes were cut in cameo, I WFL't iulo thut business. I got 12 sous for curb. " Two years after this period in the life of Eacbaumont buttons abandoned erudition to take up edileship. All the fine monuments of Paris were carved cn thcin. Then came tbe patriotic but tons, representing the taking of the Bas tille, the emblem cf the three orders, tbe Phrygian cap, tbe portraits of Louis XVX, cf Mirabeau. Shortly afterward these ornaments were laid aside. The reign of tbe ar tistic but ten was over, and the mother of pearl button became general. The oldest buttons at present in the museums and among tbe collections are tbe gold buttons discovered at Mycenae, at the time cf tbe excavations undertak en by Dr. Schliemann, and also those found in tbe tomb of Childerio L The latter were exhibited at the Louvre in the Musee des Souverains. They are made of goI and cf colored glass, imi tating garnet Buttons detached from copes and religious garments of the middle ages and of the renaissance bare also been discovered. But the richest things of the kind, be yond a dcubt, ore these that were worn by Louis XIV. M. Maze-Sencier, in the "Register of Diamcnds and Presents to the King," at present preserved in the ministry of foreign affairs, gives on offi cial account of the buttons of that pomp ous sovereign. It is as follows: "Feb. 3, ieS5. Montarcy presented to the king 80 diamond buttons, valued at 180,030 livrCS. "May 7, 1686. Made and delivered by Sieur Bosc, 6 diamond buttons, 80, 000 livrea. "July 26, 1685. Handed over by Montarcy to tbe Marquis de Seignclay for the king 75 diamond buttons, 686, 703 lirres. "Aug. 1, 1685. Two diamond but tons, 67.8C6 livrea "Aug. 16, 1685. Three diamond but tons, 69,660 livres. "Dec 20, 1685. Four diamond but tons, 83.775 livres." Another item in the same year: "July 26, 1685. Furnished by Mon tarcy fcr the king's vest: Forty-eight gold buttons, each set with a diamond, and 06 chirps, 48 of vrbicb were com posed of five diamonds each and 48 of cue diamond each, 185.123 livres. "Also 384 clasps for tbe doublet of tbe king, 162 of which were formed cf five diamonds each and 162 of one dia mond each, 1,006.345 livres, "In addition there ucre seven orna mental claps of three diamonds each, 201,270 livrea "Sundry presents, 83 ornamented clasps. 574.36G livrn." Tbat footd up a tou.1 of about 8,000, 000 livres for the buttons of the "Great King" for the single year of 1685. Tbo preceding year Louis XIV received a lot of buttons that were valued at 1,071,000 livrea. In these etiumerations there ia no mention of the diamonds for the shoes, the garters, the cuCb and the bats of the monarch.

Engineering achievements and possi bilities, from the mcdrrn point of view, are receiving an additional illustration in the caso of the projected tunnel be tween the m&inlacd of Italy and the is land of Sicily, plans and details of which, in model, as executed by the Italian civil engineer De Johannis, have attracted much attention at the University of Pacua. After thorough and careful stuclies of the strait of Mes sina, its varying depths, the nature of the ground and of all other conditions which might assist cr interfere with such an undertaking, De Johannis de cided that the beginning of the tunnel should be near San Giovanni di Sani tello, at the foot of the Aspromonte mountain range, the month on tbe oth er side to be located on the degli Ingle si plain. The entire tunnel will te near ly two miles leng and will consist in tho main of two shafts cf about 10,000 feet each, defending at a grade not ex ceeding 32 feet in each 1,000. Such a tunnel is thought preferable to a bridge that would : involve such a great span and wind exposure. Harper's Round Tabla Tbe Japanese Bolooa.
