The Dyer Memorial,
Jan. 30, 1902.

To the Editors Of the Netcs:
The statement in your issue OF the 29th
that members of the park commission re-
mark that the Kitson design is not SINH
lar TO Guillon's statue needs careful re-
view, and seems to accent the implication
that the needed the aid of those skilled
in the arts" to arrive at just conclusion.
The figure of Mr.. Kitson seems to be sim
ply reverse of the figure by Guillon,
changing the position from one OF rest to
that of preparation to either strike or
seize the bird, and thus necessitating again
simply n change Of the poise Of the upper
portion of the body, the original figure
being in the act Of liberating the bird.
Here is singular coincidence that on the
reverse page of the same salon catalogue,
containing the Guillon statue, is the de-
sign by s. III. Adams which IL was claimeG
was initiated by Mr.. Kitson in the first
competition, and IL this first design was
rejected AS plagiarism certainly the sec
ond design should have been rejected.
Now mere comes the curious and unex-
ampled part OF the whole matter, il it Is
stated that "the design was suggested TO
Mr.. Kitson by the BoardY Then what
need was there for a competition! IT was
not in the line Of fairness to ask for de-
signs TO be furnished by several competi-
tors il the Board had determined TO have
a design ''of their own suggestioni"
worked out by one person. 5.
There was no competition for the
second design.-Editors News

the ChsnPisn OF the World Tells How
60 Learn.

60 Learn.
The FIRST thing skater must learn is to
stand perfectly even on his skates--that
is, to keep the edges OF his skate from
cutting In the Ice, which increases the
friction. Having gained headway, lean
forward at an angle OF about forty-five
leRrees, place the hands behind the back.
and clasping them. let the arms rest loose
y on the hips; this throws back the shoul-
iers and brings the chest forward,
making the lungs expand, and enables the
,kater to breathe with greater freedom.
md II keeps ssihe arms from swing
ng. and enables the skater to keep
a better balance. With the exception OF
hort dashes and turning sharp corners
he arms should not be used, as this
dolent swinging only tends TO exhaust
without giving any material increase OF
peed. After balancing the body on the
eft foot give slight sidelonR push with
no right; at ne same time swing the
,ody forward fs the skate glidos along the
CO. AS soon as the skater feels that he
las put all his power In the stroke. quickly
oring up the right foot on level and close
oy the left. placing the weight OF the bodr
N the right. and with sidelong push
With the left throw the weight OF the bod,
forward on the right foot as the skate
ylides along the ice; after all the power
las been put In the stroke bring up th'
eft foot and cont tinue as before, always
caring In mind to keep an even balance
The skater should strike out as stra ghi
shead as possible, and not swing of from
= straight line, as do many skaters who
think they must do this to be graceful
This swinging of on the outer edge OF
the skate Is called the Dutch roll, and
many labor under the delusion that this
is the style OF Hollands speed skaters.
But such is not the case, as the Dutch
cnam pions strike out as straight ahead as
possible. In skating against strong wind
bend as low as an angle OF seventy-five de-
grees. so as to present as little resistance
to the wind as possible. When skating
with the wind, stand up little
straighter than ordinarily. so as to
get as much help from the wind
as you can. In racing distances OF
quarter OF mile or under. the stroke
should be shortened and quickened. and
the arms should be swung rapidly from
side to side. The skater should always
endeavor to breathe through the nostrils
and keep the mouth firmly closed. At
first IL may be a little hard to do this, but
with practice IL can be easily accom-
plishRd. II he finds after sufficient trial
that he cannot keep the mouth closed, a
pad should be worn over the mouth and
fastened around the head with an elastic
cord. A pad made OF two or three thick
aesses Of chamois skin is the best. This
will keep the cold air from blowing di-
reItly on the lungs. which might produce
fatal results.

A Question OF Art /!
To the Editors Of the Nets:

To the Editors Of the Nelos:
The communication published in your
columns of the 2Sth inst. in relation to the
Dyer memorial, did not, to my mind,
touch upon the important or vital Ques-
tion i'm this matter, which is this: Can
such n statue as is proposed be legitimately
considered to be a work of art The very
first requisite for work OF art is that It
shall express something. Taine, the very
eminent French writer on literature and
art, says that all good art must grow out
of, or express its surroundings (be 1t in
architecture, sculpture or paintingl; again
he saws in his sententious way, that the
object OF art, or the objest Of an artist, is
TO make plain some leading character.
This last statement must be taken as an
idiomatic expression put over into our
language; but its meaning is plain
enough enough at least through what fol-
lows. For what has man and an eagle
in contest to do with our civilization, past
or present If we could imagine the
figure to be that Of a prehistoric man
(Which it is not) then what have we to do
with him? We do not as yet locate our
derivation, whether we came from Lap
land or the Roof OF the World "; we do
not connect with prehistoric man we are
nineteenth century people from every
where.
But to be more or wholly practical,
works of art are or should be for our de-
All good art work in the past has come
out of enthusiasm, out of inspiration,
backed by philosophical: inquiry as to the
reasons why. Are our youths and mai
dens to be put off with such claptrap as a
meaningless nude figure, and have it
called art"
There is nothing more beautiful than
water i'm motion enough OF it), God s
water and Gods motion. Give us sizea-
BILE basin and sizeable stream or jet, and
the children will by the hour amuse
themselves in watching the changing
play of the water with its prismatic
colors as il blows and sprays in the wind,
and they will sail their boats through the
hazards of its surface. Such basins with
simple high jets OF water are to be found
i'm MANY places in Europe, and they are
the resort of delighted children and, too,
of older people, who get double dc
light.
Save us from this impending infliction!

WHAT 1T REALLY is,

The Most Dangerous of Modern Disorders
Clearly Defined-Pneumoniaa and What
Causes 1t.
There has been a great mistake as to what
pneumonia really is. People, and even some
physicians, have called 1t a dangerous dis
ease. Pneumonia is always an after effect.
If the system is run down, weakened, debil-
itated, If the life is at low ebb, the lungs
may fill up and the person die suddenly, and
it Is called pneumonia No man or woman
ever died of pneumonia when the body was
strong, vigorous and healthy. 1t comes upon
one when weakened by grip, by severe
cold or overwork and a generally weakened
condition. Such being the case how can
this dreadful trouble known as pneumonia
be prevented or wardsd OF? Manffestly, by
strengthening and fortifying the body by
having the health aud strength SO secure
that pneumonia will not attack, or if ft
should, can easily be warded of. This can
be done by careful living, careful diet and a
moderate use of pure stimulant. To gently
assist nature a stimulant is required, some
thing that adds to the life and vigor Moth
ing for this purpose can equal pure whiskey,
and 1t should be borne in mind that the oniy
pure and medicinal, whiskey which has re-
cefved the unqualified Endorsements of phy.
sicians and scientists is Dufy's Pure Malt
1t fs no ordinary whiskey, but possesses
properties Known to no other article. 1t
will efectually ward of pneumonia and has
saved the lives of thousands of people. It
should be remembered, however, that it is
the only whiskey which can accomplish this
ana any druggist or grocer who seeks to con-
vince you to the contrary Is deceiyfng, In
stst upon having Duffy's Pure Malt,
