VALUE OF SCIENCE TO ARTISTS.

II we wish to excel in the art of figure
painting we must know anatomy, most
important branch of science; and, as a
matter of fact, many artists study anatomy
as minutely as many surgeons do; and IN
the old days, when the artist and the poet
were more saturated with the knowledge
OF the time than they are now, we find the
great Leonardo at once professor of
anatomy and founder Of school of
painting az yet unsurpassed. If we
pass from the figure to ornamental
design, or if we wish TO show objects
in perspective. Is not every line, whether
straight or curved. dominated by an ap-
peal to geometry? Again, suppose
we take landscape Here we meet
with Phenomena of color as much
regulated by law as are the phenomena
of form, and an anatomy of color is fast
being formulated, which to the artist of the
future will be as precious as the anatomy
of form has been in the past, and will ever
continue to be. Let US take, for instance,
an artist who wishes to paint sunset one
of the most magnificent sights which it is
given to man to witness. The sky is
covered with clouds here and there, and
not only DO the colors of the clouds vary,
oihlOoe lAOm ihOiuChv W luOLuSIty Oub III al
cases they present the strongest contrast
to the color of the sky itself. The
artist is bewildered, and finds each effect
that he would seize to be so transient
that at last he gives up in despair the
attempt to note down the various tints.
But the possession of q knowledge of the
part played by the lower strata Of our at
mosphere in absorbing now one and now
another of the components of the light Of the
setting sun, would change this despair
into Joy almost beyond expression.
For the bewildering changes of color are
then discovered to be bound together by
law as beautiful as the effects themselves.
There is another point of view. One is
frequently panied in seeing in an otherwise
noble work of art evidences that the artist
was crassly ignorant of the phenomena he
attempted to represent, and in his attempts
to transcend nature had only succeeded in
'caricaturing her; painting, for example, q
rainbow in perspective, or moon with it's
dark side turned toward thesetting sun. Yet
these are almost trifes, and, in fact, here We
have the excuse of the ignorant artist
now, l am thankful to say, the representa-
tive of class that is fast disappearing
for his defense is, that he has nothing to do
with such small matters, and that accuracy
of this kind may quite properly be sac.
ritced to secure the balance OF his picture.

A BLOODY SUPERSTITION.

During the reign of Philip II. of Spain
the Government spies in the province Of
Malaga made curious discovery. In the
highest valleys of the Alppjarras, and sur

verified Moors, trey found a tribe of noun
taineers whose vernacular was as different
from the Arabian as from the Spanish Ian
guage, and whose neighbors believed them
to be descendants from the ancient Iberi-
ans. The Ghabirs, as the Moors called
them, were q most primitive and harmless
race their food consisted of the vegetable
products of the peaceful valley their only
religious function in sacrificing milk and
fruits to the spirit of the mountains. A
few weeks after the discoveIer had made
his report to the Holy Office, detachment
OF troopers and monks invaded the Alpu-
iarras, the Ghabirs were dragged to Velez
Malaga and burned by order of the Grand
Inquisitor. Their crime could not be con-
doned they had disregarded the procla-
nation of 1862, and eyaded tithes and
baptism for seven years. 10 vain they

THE JAPANESE.

Japan, said DR.. Samuel Kneeland, in a
recent lecture, is the most beautiful coun-
try in the world. Every thing appears like
a miniature garden, and the pagodas and
temples, houses and novels and hills and
mountains, form scene not easily de-
scribed. The port at which all strangers
arrive is Yokohama, large city of hun
bred thousand inhabitants. Tae harbor ia
crowded with junks, and a class OF
boats which correspond to our gun
stores look very peculiar, something
like animated haystacks. Their dress
consists of straw woven together, and their
hat and shoes ditto. The shoes are also
used by residents on shore. and cost the
large sum of one cent. Why they are SO
cheap is because they only last about two
DAYS.
One thing noticeable in the streets of
Japanese towns is the lack of horses as a
means OF passenger conveyance. Instead,
there Is 8 sort of large baby. carriage, juat
big enough to hold man, and it IS drawn
by cody, or laborer, in front, and pushed
from behind by another cody. These
coolies are remarkable for their endurance
They always trot when in motion, and have
been frequently known TO make titty miles
day. This exercise makes them very
muscular, but, as a rule, they die young
on account of over.exertion.
Another feature Of japanese cities is the
tea-houses. OF which there are large num-
Der, and the ceremony gone through in get
ting meal at one of them is very imposing
to stranger. Every tsa-house has n few
girls, all of whom are very pretty, to dance
and otherwise exercise themselves for the
amusement of the guests. Besides them,
there are jugglers, who perform many Won
derful and difficult tricks, A bill of fare
which is given stranger, or native, is
SOUP, raw fish, shrimps and sandwiches.
Quite another distinctive feature of ia
pan is the beds, or cots, as they might be
called. If the unwary stranger does not
happen to have box of insect. destroyer
about him, he will learn what this dis
tinesivs feature is, without being told. The
married women, continued the lecturer,
have disgusting habit OF backing their
teeth. IL is quite benefit to the young
men, this habit, for it enables them TO tell
a married from an unmarried woman, thus
preventing their making love to the wrong
party. There are two forms of worship
among the Japsnese-the worship of idols,
and the worship of Baddha. The tenn pies
and pagodas are exquisite in workmanship,
and are almost tswdry On account of the
number of ornaments on them.

WORKING A VOLCANO.

The three essential conditions on which
the production of volcanic phenomenaseems,
in Mr.. Jndd's opinion, to depend, are the
following: First, the existence of certain
apertures or cracks communicating between
the interior and the surface of the earth !;
secondly, the presence of matter in highly
heated condition beneath the surface; and
thirdly, the existence of great quantities of
water imprisoned in the subserranesn re-
gions-which water, escaping as steam,
gives rise to all those sG-ive phenomena we
have been describing" Regarding the first
of the above three conditions OF volcanic
phenomena or assures in the earth's
crust-Prof. Judd, in the work in question,
has added largely to the existing knowl-
edge on the subject. He has contributed
also nos only to our knowledge Of the
causes and operations Of volcanic phenom-
ena, but to what we know OF their uses IN
the economy ef the natural world. The
materials Ell sctea from volcanoes during an
eruption are not, as many may think. a
wholly useless collection Of debris. Ga
the other hand, much OF what is thus
thrown out is of considerable commercial
value, The volatile substances issuiDg from
volcanic vents are at once deposited when
they come into contact with the cool at
mosphere Others form new compounds
with one another and the constituents OF
the atmosphere while others. again, COM
bine with the materials of the surrounding
rocks and form fresh chemical comoounds
with some of their ingredients. Tne de-
posits which are thus continually accumu-
iating on the sides and lips OF volcanic
assures, consist Of sulphates, chlorides,
sal.amoniac, sulphur, etc. At Vulcano reg
ular chemical works have been established
by Scotch firm in the crater of the vol
cano, great number of workmen bsiDg
engaged in collecting the materials which
are deposited around the assures, and
which are renewed by the volcanic ac-
ton almost as sooa as they are removed.
This work, as one may readily suppose, Is
not at all times carried on with safety; for
in 1873 a sudden outhurst of activity
within the crater rock took place before the
workmen could escape, aud several of them
were severely burned by the explosions.

TREPANNING IN PREHISTORIC TINES =
One of the most curious traces of primitive
belief which have come down to us IS found
in the trepanned skulls which have been
discovered IN several caves and dolmens of
France belonging to the earlier portion of
the new stone age. DR.. Paul Broea has de-
voted spamphlet to the description of these
trepanned skulls and the discussion of their
significance. The fact Is certain that a great
number of these skulls were trepsnned du
ring lifetime, probably in infancy and early
youth, and that they healed up again, the
subject of the operation surviving it for
many years. M. Bfocs supposes this tre-
panuirg 70 have constituted sacred rite
Of some sort. For we find that Che skulls
of these very persons who had undergone
the operation in their lifetime were after
death subjected again to the same opera
tfon. a number of small disks were cut
from them in such way that each disk
contained portion OF the cicatrized edge
made by the original trepanning. These
disks were used as amulets by living per-
sons. But the skull thus treated was in its
turn provided with one of these talismanic
disks in place of those which had been cut
from itself. From this custom NJ Broca
has argued belief in the survival of the
dead man, and supposed that the disk was
placed with the skull to serve as kind of
viatieum into another world The Satur-
day Review.
