In the history Of the North Pole expedi-
ton sent out by the Austrians in 1872 and
led by Payer and Weyprecht. After spend
ing two years in the waters and on the
land of Franz Joseph land, an Arctic region
hitherto unknown, these explorers aban-
doned their imprisoned ship and set out
across the surface of the frozen sea for
Europe. "After two months of indescrib-
able effort" wrote Payer in his account of
the journey, "we had made but two Ger
man miles twelve English miles, and
the ship was still in sight. The men were
in despair, and begged to be permitted to
go back to the ship, where there was at
least comfort and plenty, even if death fol-
lowed later. But Weyprecht pointed to
the south, exclaimed Never retreat and
led the way for another effort" This is the
scene which the artist, Payer himself, has
put ON canvas, modestly leaving out his
own figure. From an art point of view it
Is not a great picture, but the manner in
which it attracts the multitude is proof of
the fascination which Arctic adventure
has over the popular mind.

picture. 1t is a poem more than a paint
ing. Such a work is "Alone in the

A powerful picture indeed is Bourguer-
eau's Women at the Tomb" 1t is the
sepulchre of Christ. The door is open, and
within the angel beckons the waiting Mag
dalens to come. These waiting, weeping
women are woe itself. The face of one you
cannot see, but there is sorrow in her pos
ture. Another is sad but self-contained,
while the third, showing her sharp but
youthful profile, is with lids red from
weeping. Her mouth is the sensitive,
panied, quivering mouth of n woman in
agony. Her eyes are liquid with tears
through which love may be seen shining.
