THE ARTISTS AND THE OBfLIsK.

Now that the AleIandrian 0beiSk has been
uncovered and its large, clearly cut HERO
glyphics brought into view, its interest as a
work of art and a mementO of primitive
literature is manifest to every Thoughtful
observer. It's value as an addition to the
permanent possessions of the city has not been
over estimated and it will grow in popular
appreciation. If it were some vulgar perform
ance, the only objection to setting il
up near the Museum would be the dis
figurement of tho Park, which is not so
rich in lawn spaces that any destruction of
turf, or dividing it up by hard lines Of gravel,
can be tolerated. There have been Park
Commissioners and Worlds Fair Committee
men who look upon these green fields as use
less spaces, to BIO rudely and recklessly broken
up or squatted on, instead of recognizing
them as the central features of the landscape
picture about which all the other work is
grouped and composed But there are evidences
Of a growing taste among tho people which
can be depended upon in time to hold the
legally constituted authorities to their duty OF
guarding our pleasure grounds against in
trusOn.
Aside, however, from the DETACHMENT of the
Park. the 0belisk itself is q monument of
such rare iInpressiveness that it carries with
1t its own protest against being treated with
lndignity. No one has ever cOntended that
there is anything in its form. or meaning, OF
history, to justify its erection on the Park
knoll. The men who invented this archl-
tect, rel form never placed q monOlith on
an eminence, even on formally constructed
one which would be more in harmony with
