OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 20. 19r,6 PAGE ELEVEN LOUIS XIV BATH AS ART OBJECT PARIS (UP) Th 263-yeAr-old marble bathtub of King LouU XIV fcu bMD bought by the ministry of tine arts and returned to the palace at Vera-iilea. Originally installed In the palace In 1T73 Then the monarch waa 33. ihe bath cost 9,000 pounds an enormoui amount In those days according to record carefully kept at Versailles throughout generations. The bath la made from a single block of marble, xeddlsh violet In tone and veined with creamy white. Octagonal In shape. the bath weighs 10 tons and It mess tires 10 feet 0 Inches across. To aid the royal bather, four little steps and a ledge were cut from the Inside of the tub. At the top of the steps were two holes through which the water was piped. It la believed these holes orig inally were covered by bronae or gMd dolphins' heads In the style of that period, but these ornaments have dia apepared. ' When Louis XIV died In 1713, the bathrooms at the palace were rear ranged. This marble tub waa not moved because of Its great weight, but was filled with sand and left un der a floor. In 1750 there were more alterations at the palace, and when the floor was taken up the tub was discovered. Louis XV, great grandson of Louis Xrv, presented the m&xtile tub to his favorite, Mme. de Pompa dour, who had it removed to the Ermltage, her country house. At this time it was placed In the midrt of an ornamental flower garden. It la not known what became of, the marble bath after the death of Wme. de Pompadour, but some time later It came Into the possession of Anne-Pierre de Mbntesquiou, French man of letters, who lived at the Paris suburb, Le Veslnet. Many years later, still at Le Vestnet, it was found on the estate of the Countess Caeatl. RULE LEAP YEAR CIRCUS Hints To Gardeners try Lyman White Flotcer Expert Ferry Seed IntUtuie For Early Flowem EARLIER blooming of some of thi popular garden flowers may b obtained by planting them indoor, about six weeks before they are to be set out In the open. They should be placed outdoors, of course, only after the ground has warmed and all danger of frost la past A few of the flowers which may lie planted early indoors include the Delphinium, pink, gaillardia, lobelia, . myosotis, pansy, Iceland poppy, salvia, stock and verbena. The following may be planted In-' floors a week or two later: Ager atum, snapdragon, aster, dahlia, nicotians, petunia, phlox drum mondi, salpiglossis, scablosa and vinca rosea. Seed of these flowers may be ob tained at your corner store at a sufficiently early date to allow yon to give them an Inside start. Seed of other favorites, - which may be procured at the same time but wbicb should be saved for later, outside planting, include the sweet alyssum, calendula, calliopsis, candy tuft, tour o'clock, marigold and nas turtium. These are earlier - and faster growing than the others. ' For the inside planting, fill a' cigar box or florist's '"flat" with good, rich loam, covering the seeds with a thin sprinkling of soil. The boxes should have small holes (about quarter-Inch in diameter) In the bottom so they may be set In water and the soil moistened by absorption. It the small plants are too thick,' some should be picked out The boxes should be placed In a sunny window and kept at a temperature of around 70 degrees. If desired, the small plants may be transplanted to pots or other larger containers. Before setting outdoors they should be "hardened off," placed-outdoors In the shads six or eight mild days.
