Dish-Ring Invention of
The Irish Silversmiths
The dish-ring, often spoken of as
the potato-ring, was invented by the
Irish silversmiths in the last half of
the Eighteenth and early part of the
Nineteenth centuries. These dish-
rings were ornamental starsls for
circular wooden bowls, and their
use was to prevent the hot bowl
from injuring the polished mahog-
any table.
Tradition says they were used ex-
clusively for holding bowls filled
with potatoes, but it was the custom
to place them in the middle of the
table to remain during the entire
meal, where they served as a re-
ceptacle for holding the various
dishes. The bowls were usually
made of bog-oak and with or with-
out a silver rim.
Dish-rings originated in Ireland,
first coming into use in Irish homes.
No contemporary English examples
are known except the copies in Shef-
field plate, writes Alice R. Rollins in
the Los Angeles Times. The dish-
ring, if we include its general use,
corresponds to the dish-cross used
in England at the same period,
which consisted of adjustable
crossed bars. The mark for beauty,
however, must go to the creation of
the Irish silversmiths.

Anything for Fetish
Anything will do to make a fetish
literally any-
thing—a collection of chicken bones,
bunch of grass, smeared over with
clay and daubed with the blood of a
sacrifice. These may be
only an inch or so long. The priest,
who usually makes such a fetish,
performs a ceremony and
sacrifice over it, and thus brings a

Whales Cannot Be Mounted
The whale is the only common
mammal not found in natural-his-
tory museums. Owing to a pecu-
liarity of the skin, says Collier's
Weekly, it cannot be mounted suc-
cessfully, like that of other animals,
and models of whales have to be
made for exhibition purposes.
