profession, both as regards the philos-
ophy and technique of their art. 1t
is probable. however. that by far the
best way for Il layman to arrive at
American fine arts. rs displayed in the
art palace Of the Columbian exposition,
and that of the other nations which
have made 4 very elaborate display
here, is by getting the opinions Of art
lists upon the subject who are known
TO be qualified to pass judgment upon
works Of art. He will then be able to
allow for all prcjudiccs incident to
artists as class and draw his own
conclusions upon the subject.
One of the artists whose opinion
every resident of the Northwest will
feel great confidence in is Douglas
Eolk Of Minneapolis, who in recognition
of his ability, was chosen as one Of the
national jury on fine arts for this
exposition.
Mr.. EOlk, in response to Your CORE
Spondents inquiry as to what rank
| the American display of fine arts would
| take, said: Il regret to say that /
have not yet see the American exhibit
| as whole, only having seen Il portion
| of the pictures while serving on the
| national jury; so ] am in no position
to give an intelligent reply to your
question. What pictures | have seen
have lead me to believe that the public
will be greatly surprised to see the vast
advance that has been made in Ame-i-
can arts the last fifteen years.
THE country is yet too young to
have produced any school of painting,
new notes are being struck by individ.
ual painters and they are true and
beautiful. Perhaps the very diversity
of life in this country and the indie.
| pendencc Of the individual would make
the formation Of Il settled school i'm.
| possible. at least in years to come
when life with its forms of expression
shall have become more fixed in pur.
pose. But the tendency is in the right
direction. Study Of the pictures OF
the fair will show that most of oul
painters are serious and honest in theil
way Of looking at and for things al
nature, and that their attitude toward
art is digniiied one is sure to lead tC
better and better results in the future

principles of drawing in order to pro-
duce striking effects in other ways.
This fad however, is rapidly passing
away in France because the best IA
irons of good work have tabooed and
do not purchase this class Of works.
Take for instance the demand for fine
paintings that modern art can boast of.
and are willing to pay literally for
them, but the demand does not extend
to the impression paintings. Pictures
of this class We're cheaper, and natural
ly for time had Il brisk demand
French art is not moving along impress
sion lines ut this time. 1t is firmly root
ed upon the basis laid down by the
Italian masters so grandly interpreted
by NIillais. Other nationalities who
have absorbed some Of the leading feat
ures of this school. like all students,
are apt to magnify the faults of a
school in their work and lose sight Of
its excellencies. My impression is,
however, that it is a phase Of art that
will soon pass away with the peculiar
causes that gave it birth.
4. Preyer. general manager IF the
Holland exhibition ut the worlds Col
umbian exposition, said that this was
the largest collection Of paintings rep
reSentative Of Dutch art, which had
ever been brought together either with
in Holland or in a foreign nation. He
believed it the best collection on eN-
hibit also, because the school was
founded upon the old Holland masters
works, such as those of Rembrandt.
Van Dyke and other who lived in the
sixteenth and seventecth centuries.
He traced the school down through
Turner and Gainsborough in England
and the Barbizon school in France.
1 think that the Americans have
made 4 wonderful display; that it
is superior to that Of the French.
with the exception of Il few master
pieces I. as we'll as many others,
are greatly disappointed in the French
exhibit and do not think it fairly rep
resents the temporary art of France.
The impression style of painting in my
opinion. is the result of the striving
of French art after something new.
1t is natural rebellion against all
the Photographic and other mechanical
means of taking pictures at the expense
of color. l do not think it peculiar to
the French. for l see stronger tenden-
cieS in that direction in Swedish art
as portrayed here and in American art
than l do in the French paintings. If
there is any tendency to originality i'll
American work l think it is along the
lines of impressionisn."

Steam From Stag.
Ralph Mckenzie.

The enormous amount of heat habit
ually wasted in cooling molten Stag
has melted an Australian to work out
a scheme for generating steam by this
means. The boiler or receptacle for
the water has running through it, from
top to bottom, funncl-shapcd pipes,
something after the style of Il big can
die mold. Che molten Stag is poured
into these rcccptac!cS and communi-
Gates It's heat to the water. When the
Stag becomes solid Il door at the bot
tom of each receptacle is opened. the
Stag is KIN )ckeu out. and the Whole filled
again. The apparatus has been tried
and 100 pounds pressure of steam
raised. II the ideas Of the inventor
be thoroughly carried out the value of
the process will be enormous: but it
is too soon yet to give Il decided opin-
ion as to its chances. So far The i'll
tense heat OF the Stag has been wasted.
At first water WAS poured on the Stag.
but it was found that the stuff cakcd
hard all around and reWlned molten
inside. Then the idea wus adopted of
communicating the heat of the fire un-
der the boiler. j. e., of getting all the
benefits without the Stag and water
coming in contact one with the other

instantaneous Pictures Taken of
Patients in DIR. Charcot's Clinic.
Photography has been introduced into
the clinical laboratory Of DR.. Charcot,
the Partisan specialist. Instantaneous
pictures have been taken of patients.
One shows a woman just at the point
Of being hypnotized. The condition is
being produced by mere look and by
the sight of a diamond. Other photo
graphs present patients in various leth-
argic and catalcptic conditions One
of the most remarkable of these photo
graphs shows historical contraction,
and in this Il strange phenomenon is
apparent. One of the middle fingers of
the patient reaches far over on the
wrist. Under hypnotiZation the patient
appears to develop the faculty Of
leEgthening the middle finger abnor-
| mally.
These pictures, with others showing
nervous patients in different crises Of
their Affections, were sent over with the
| French Photographic exhibit for the
worlds fair. They are exciting much
attention and talk among the Ameri-
| can doctors-they are something entire
ly novel to the profession. BY the in
Simultaneous photograph condition Is
presented at glance. The long pre-
liminary description Of the clinic is not
necessary.-St. Louis GlObe-Democrat.

Equal Suffrage.

TIE STAR editor has in times past
when occasion presented itself express
sed himself emplatica!ly as opposed to
woman suffrage. and we feel that there
are strong. reasonable arguments favor
ing that position, but we must acknowl-
edge that our opposition to it has been
somewhat modified, and it is nothing
more than such strong recommends
tions f;.voung woman suffrage as the
following resolution adopted unani-
mously by the Wyoming legislature
that tends to make converts to that
cause:
"Be it resolved by the legislature of
the state of Wyoming: That the pos
session and exercise of suffrage by the
women in Wyoming for the last quar-
ter of a century has wrought no harm
and has done great gond in many ways,
that it has largely aided in banishing
crime, pauperism and vice from this
state and that without any violent or
oppressive legislation, that it has se-
cured peaceful and orderly elections,
good government and a remarkable de.
gree of civilization and public order,
and we point with pride to the fact
that after nearly twenty-five years of
woman suffrage not one county in
Wyoming has a poor house. that our
jails are almost empty, and crime, ex.
cept that by strangers in the state, is
almost unknown, and as a result OF ex-
perieDce we urge every civilized COM
munity on the earth to enfranchise its
women without delay, and that an au-
thpnticated copy of these resolutions
be forwarded by the governor of the
state to the legislature of every state
and territory in this country, and to
every legislative body in the world, and
that we request the press throughout
our civilized world to call the attention
of their readers to these resolutions"
