The Japaaese Versus tho Western Artist
The greater part of our decoration" Is
carried out Just the contrary way to that
of the Japanese. Our artists accept as a
momeDtary curse the fact that to live they
may have to draw patterns, or work in
glass, or paint, or model subsidiary orna-
mentation. They look forward to the glo-
rious time when they may wreak their
lofty souls In the dignity Of paint mixed
with the sacred linseed oil, or in the statue
4 e in bronze or carved in marble by other
hands than theirs And yet IL their nature
be not too far removed from ours the
habit of doing less than their best, the
habit of doing poorly, the scorn of any
thing but the fine clothes OF fine ma
terial, will never be got'0ver, and through
out this little cheapness Of soul, this essen
tial snobbishness, will be felt to puzzle and
discomfort those who wish to admire.
That is to say that they too often do not
look to the end, but to the means, while to
the artist the means are a mere path. As
with the Greeks their work will live, even
II its very physical existence is obliterated
because It il built in the mind-in the eter
nifty of thought. So Greek art existed and
has lived and .lives the most fourishine
and richest that we know of, with less tc
represent it than we turn out daily. So II
lived when 1t had no longer anything Of it,
own body to represent it; in everything
that was done in every country which kept
its lessons, and lives still without examples
to refer to-even into the very painting o.
today. 1t is the principle of the propel
place Of means that makes the little piec'

The Yihroneter

The vibrometer, which Is claimed to make
the deaf hear, Is In shape and size very
much like an ordinary banjo, with circular
sounding board and extended string board.
A small electric motor transmits by suit
able mechanism series of rapid taps or
vibrations TO the sounding board, and these
are conveyed to the ear by tubes, the same
as in the phonograph. The attachment by
which the vibration is produced can be ad-
justed to different beverages, SO as to vary
its intensity, and can be regulated at from
to 25 vibratory movements per second, a
Ispeed which is only used in very bad cases.
A special treatment is involved in the
use of the strings of the instrument, which
are vibrated by the revolution of wheel
studded with metallic picks. In applying
these musical vibrations to the ear of the
patient the tone selected must correspond
in pitch to that caused by the diseased con.
Jditions of the ear. In other words. there is
| always special note, the vibrations of
