1ts marked originality of Characterization it ex-
hnits skull Of technical execution of the very high
est order. The psychological student, no less tIan
the amateur of art will find abundant material in
y for study and admiration. The conception OF
fhe character is as far removed from the tradi-
tlonal types OF Retsch and Hanback, as the lat,
ter are from the nondescript being, with Loos. tail
and horns, which served as Satanic buehear for
40 many previous ages. This is emphatically the
embodied daoleie Of the latest phase of ciyiliza-
Gnwthe product of the excessive but one-sided,
ambition and exclusive worship OF intellect IN tbe
neglect OF the soul. This MephistopheIes IA no
fanciful bugbear, but the very spirit wh;ch 10 ear

deayor is deepest and hercest Many beholder

Likeness OF some Of his acquaintances in the va
