The Bay of o ne Typical of Artistic Culture
the Other Progress.
New York Ledger.1
Artists and descriptive writers regard the
bay of Naples as one of the most lovely
views ever disclosed to human eyes On
that favored expanse of shining sea and
verdure-lined shore the choicest gifts of our
fond and partial Mother Nature are show
cred lavishly, as though she would attune
the children of summer and the sun to har-
mony by the peaceful beauty of their envi-
ronment The soft tones of the blue Medi-
terranean, the yet softer tones of the clear
italian sky with its feecy, floating cloud
islands, the bright colors Of the fishing
craft the dots of white canvas in the middl
distance and the smaller dots away toward
Capri and the hazy horizon, and the subtle,
indescribable charm of the mellow italian
atmosphere merge into one perfect picture.
Small wonder it is that the Italians have
coined the saying: "See Naples and dier"
Americans who cannot journey to South
ern Europe can enjoy view nearly equal
in some particulars and superior in others
to the Neapolitan waterscape From the
span of Brooklyn bridge they can view an
expanse of greater variety In human interest
and quickened by more forms of life, even
though the view be without the exquisite
sky and sea tints and scenic effects of the
other. The lower stretches of the harbor
are bordered by the green uprise Of Staten
Island, fanked by the Knicker6ocker estu-
ary named Kill Won Kull and by the Mar
rows, guided by the esplanades and parar
pets of Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton.
The harbor itself is busy with the mighty
Transatlantic steamships, the coastwiss
shipping and steamboats,, ferry boats and
pleasure craft of all descriptions, passing
between the Bartholdi statue and the Ma
tional ensign flying at the army post on
Governors Island. Forests of masts and
spars line the shores. The panorama of the
busiest port in the Western World is before
the eye.
Each view is typical-the Neapolitan, Of
poetry and artistic culture; the American,
of direct utility and progress. Each has its
lesson.

lscEe and reaching down my foot found notn-
ing below. A startled glance over nv ehoul-
der showed a narrow cleft 90 feet deep lust
below me. 1 had not seen it in my look
from farther along the ledge, whence only
the shelf which the gully split was visible
It was a irving situation. I was too tired
to do the old college-day trick of "chin-
ulrg" by one hand, and besides, that hand
hs6 a verv different hold from a smooth
horizontal bar or flying ring. The cleft was
roveE or eight feet wide, and about ten feet
below me. I saw with the first trial that
,Hare was no getting back to the top of my
lodge. Ny right arm was almost at full
length to hold BY the edge, and my feet
were Ia a horizontal crack which admitted
than two thee inches into the cliff
Il required TIE utmost caution to keep
nv slung lef: arm from being squeezed
s-Ciust the r0ck-and such q squeeze would
have made ne faint with agony and fall.
There were but two courses-to try to Jump
SO u5 10 land on the side of the cleft, or to
bEng on till exhausted and then drop to sure
death Il did not take long to choose nor
decide upon the necessary precautions. 1t
WAS q very doubtful undertaking-to spring
backward and sidewise from such foothold,
f.l4 en feet and gain four laterallv. The
ge of the cleft was nearer my right hand
l~ several feet. but I could not jump to the
l.--.-aS yoU NAV readily see by placing
Yourself in a similar attitude-because that
cLiuclng arm was in the way.

I was tjred-more with pain than with
ezerlion-and needed every bit of strength
sad agility for that supreme effort. 1
shifted my feet into an easier position,
Iooseped my hand clutch for moment, and
even hung my upper teeth upon point of
rock 10 ease my legs few pounds. For a
moment SO. and then with a desperate
breath 1 thrust nv whole life into frantic
effort and sTrang backwards out into the air.
