ART N AMERICA.
The Younger Painter Aroused to the Me-
cessity of Individuality.

The Younger FAINTER Aroused 10 eno No
cessity of Individuality.
John @. Van Dyke gives a careful
review of Painting al The Fair" In
the Century. Owing to the fact that
art education had to be obtained
abroad, we are at the start Influenced
by foreign elements, he says. The
influence is to our gain In craftsman
ship, but 1t is to our loss In original
ity. Partisan ideas and notions OF
art may be better than our own, but
the point Is, they are not our own,
and, II we repeat them, we are play
ing the parrot-.mitating, and not
creating. American painters are not
disposed to be servile followers. On
the contrary, the effort is toward be-
ing distinctly and individually them
selves, but artistically they are ham,
pered by many Gallicisms or world
isms, just as politically a good piece
OF American legislation il checked by
forced consideration for some foreign
vote. In both cases there is com
promise not altogether pleasing to
either party.

American school Of art in landscape
than elsewhere. There is decisive
note even from the younger men. In
fact, there is much hope to be placed
In the large band OF young landscape
painters at present working in this
country. They have skill, and as
they grow older they will gain the
conviction that our pictorial view IL
the only one for them. 1t might be
added, without national pride, that,
as regards landscape, IT is the best
one now extant in the schools, and
that it has little or nothing to gain
from the view of others.
Policy as well as patriotism should
induce an American to be an Ameri
can, for there is little advantage in
trying to be anything else. Che
chief value of nations art, aside
from its being good art, lies in its
nationality, its peculiar point of view,
its representation Of time, a cline,
and a people. We shall never have
any great art in America unless it Is
done in our own way and Is distinctly
American. We shall never be &C
counted great because of our doing
something like some other people,
nor by fashioning that which is best
in others into an electric cosmopoli-
tanism.
Happily our younger painters are
rousing to the necessity OF individu
atty in their work. Year by yeaI
their styles deepen, one in refined
color, another in pure line, another
in brush work, another in largeness
Of conception, another in delicacy Of
sentiment. 1t is these added in.
dividualities that produce nationality
in art when there is homogeneity In
fundamental thought and aim. We
have not just now so much of the
latter as could be wished for, but We
are likely to come to 1t by degrees.
That there is to be great production
in painting in this country during
the next quarter OF a century is al.
most foregoue conclusion, and II
cannot be doubted that our painters
will find American life Their
strongest inspiration.

A Marine Wonder.

One of the marine wonders Of the
world is the great barrier reef of
Australia. The stupendous rampant
Of coral, stretching in an almost un-
broken line for twelve hundred and
fifty miles along the northeastern
coast of Australia, presents features
of interest which are not to be
equalled in any other quarter of the
globe. Nowhere Is the action Of the
little marine insect, which builds up
with untiring industry those mighty
mountains with which the tropical
seas are studded, more impressive;
nowhere are the wonderful construc-
tive forces Of nature more apparent.
BY simple process Of accretion there
has been reared in the course Of
countless centuries an adamantine
wall against which the pillows OF the
Pacific, sweeping along In an uninter-
rupted course OF several thousand
miles, dash themselves In Intellectual
fury. Enclosed within the range of
its protecting arms is cain inland
sea eighty Thousand square miles in
extent, dotted with multitude of
coral islands, and presenting at every
turn objects Of interest alike to the
unlearned traveller and the man Of
science. Here may be witnessed the
singular process by which the wavy,
gelatinous living mass hardens into
stone, then serves as collecting
ground for the flotsam and jetsam of
the ocean, and ultimately develops
into an island covered with luxuri-
Gus mass of tropical growth. Here
again may be seen In the serene
depths of placid pools extraordinary
forms OF marine life, aglow with
brilliant colors-

Grisly Legislation.

Two most extraordinary bills were
introduced In the Ohio Legislature
The first bill provided for the abolish
ment of hanging as penalty in cases
of capital punishment, and substi-
tuted the use Of an9sthetics and
vivisection. The murderer was to
be turned over to the doctors, who
would deprive him of consciousness
by the use of anasthics and then ex-
pertinent with him to their hearts
content. The other bill was similar
to the first, but less radical, and
gave the murderer the choice be-
tween death by electricity and death
by anasthetics and vivisection.

MRS. Lease to Desert Kansas.
