The Artificial Harbor at Fium,

The Artificial Harbor at Fiume.
To the Daily LIGHT.
A breakwater designed on the
mixed system was commenced at
Fiume in Austria. The superior.
structure was built with concrete
in mass, founded on a rouble
mound at depth Of 228 feet below
the water level. The harbor is sit
uated on the Adriatic Sea and is
exposed to the sirocco from the
southeast; the breakwater extends
into depth OF ~ feet. In con-
struction large bottomless frames,
81 feet long, 49, feet wide and "a
feet high were placed on top Of
a rock mound. These frames were
filled with concrete, which harden
ed in from - to 20 days, when the
frames were removed and use for
another length. The mass thus
formed contained $40 cubic yards,
weighing about ll5O tons. The
series of masses thus constructed
had intervals between each of
about 90 feet. These intervals
were closed by boards extending
along the sides and filled up with
concrete. The whole superstruc-
ture thus forms a monolith OF
concrete which has remained in
tact under action Of the water, since
lS49. If the harbor is good enough
for the people of Austria, why
should not the people Of Texas
adopt this plan OF an artificial
harbor.

IN ART CIRCLES.

Written for the LIGHT.
Last Wednesday afternoon a
good attendance OF the Art League
members made the regular meet
ing Of that society most interest
ing one. In fact it was one Of the
most interesting sessions that the
society has held in some time, and
a great deal Of important work
was transacted.
Mr.. Lee Adams, recently ele cted
president OF the society, mad Q his
inaugural address and the effect
was to show the members that the
new executive was heartily in sym
pathy with the society and its work
and that he could be expected to
work for its permanent establish
ment. Although his address was
short, it was full Of the right kind
of sentiment and made good i'm
preston.
The eX-treasurer, NJ. p. Knight,
made his final report, and turned
over to the new treasurer the books,
papers and cash OF the society.
Miss Overton goes into the office
with the society in good financial
condition, and every prospect for
lite continuing that way.
The work for the coming exhibit
tions we'll in hand, and the COM
mittee reported that all was in a
most satisfactory shape. A meet
ing of the exhibition committee
was called for Thursday afternoon
and at that meeting most excellent
work was done. The same COM
mittee will be in session on Tues
day afternoon at six o'clock, when
the final arrangements will be
made.
In the battle of flowers parade
will be a float decorated by the Art
League, and the committee having
that matter in charge are doing
heroic work in the effort to do
something that will reflect credit
on the society, and to themselves.
Another active member was
added to the roll at the last meet
ing OF the League, Mrs. ALT. Dick.
man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur SeeligsOn,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Young and
Mr.. and Mrs. Col. c. c. Gibbs and
Miss NirgIe Gibbs were added to
the honorary membership of
the league.
AS the coming exhibition is to
be held during the week Of the 7.
p. A. convention, the Importance
OF the event is so much enhanced
that it was deemed best at the last
meeting, to add loan collection
to the competitive list, and c0nse-
quently the committee was en-
larged and instructed TO make
every effort to make the exhibition
the greatest art event in the his
tory of Texas. All citizens should
assist in the matter, and suitable
works to put into the hands Of the
society for the exhibit.
The committee will not receive
works for the exhibit after Tuesday,
May 18th, as the balance OF the
week will be taken up in arranging
works, hanging and cataloging.
On Saturday afternoon, May III,
the classes in drawing from block
will meet in the league rooms at
o'clock, and make the drawings for
competition in this class. On Sat
urday afternoon, May Is, the class
es in drawing from cast will meet

Thereupon he from tree retires And so 1t goes on till there seems to be grand dovetail bus mess afioat in which the last boy from his particular tree is supreme. If boy from tree can by amy possibility touch boy from tree who left tree ? before he left tree 1, then the boy from tree must come over and join the forces of tree 1. That seems to be the whole of the game. It sometimes happens that the contingency takes place; but with about the historic frequency of a French revolution.

And these are the games in which they are being trained, The Prussians will crunch them as the stalwart down. easter crunches the peanut between his mighty jaws; as the Numidian lion ess daintily cracks the skull of the we'll fed but expensive missionary, The strength of nation is not in the num- Der of men 1t can put in the field, but in the morale" of each individual man.

4 Freneh Portralt of Lord Oromer.

M. Octave Uzanne, who has been sent to Cairo by the Paris Figaro, gives the following sketch of Lord Cromer, the Eltchi of to-day:
 Physically, he is a man about fifty presenting type of the bygone Eng lishman such as we meet with in the "keepsakes" between 1S40 and 1850- strong, sturdy, thickset, with an ln- clination to stoutness which halts on the right side of obesity. His face is cleal-shaven, save for the dainty white moustache of almost military trimness which harmonizes agreeably with the highly colored pink of his complexion. Out of doors you cannot fail to recog- nize him by his alert step, his closely buttoned frock-coat, his light gaiters i'll French fashion, and his tall white hat, as we'll as by an indescribable some thing which gives character to his bear ing and personality to the whole pie ture. At home he is cordial In manner, with the touch of happy childish gayety that is peculiar to his race. While he gives evidence of observation, ready wit, and sound learning, not trace of official British haughtiness is to be de- tected in his manner. His keen inquir- ing eyes move restlessly behind the glasses that he always wears, and add to his features a suggestion of mobility. In politics he is a Salisburian; aestheti-

A French journal relates an incident in which naughty functionary receiv- ed what in the vernacular of our own country would be- called a meat set down." This naughty person was a member of the chamber of deputies, and much given to long speeches. One day he found another deputy convers- ing in the lobby with a man whose face seemed familiar to him, but whom he could not remember. He fancied the man must be an intruding journalist.
 Pardon me-" he said to the other man, but whom have we here?"
 Allow me to introduce you," answer ed the deputy, "the man who has writ ten more falsehoods and stupidities than any other man living.'
 "Indeed? said the great man. "Then my supposition was correct that he is a journallst?"
 Not at all; he is the official reporter of the chamber"

WALLINGFORD.

There has been considerable contro- versy regarding the hearing before the legislative committee on cities and bor- oughs in Hartford regarding the char Ter amendments for electric lights for the borough of Wallingford. Wednes- day Judge Hubbard appeared before the committee in Hartford and stated that inasmuch as 1t had been sought to give the impression that the Gas Light com pany was trying to evade hearing on the merits of the question, the company mad determined to ask the committee to allow the motion argued few days ago and which still remains undecided by the committee, that the bill be dis missed without a hearing because the proper notice had not been served, to be withdrawn and that the committee would set some time for a hearing on the merits of the case, which the Gas Light company would be only too glad to go into thoroughly. The committee consented and stated that it's engage ments were such that 1t could not set a day at that time, but 1t would do so soon and would duly notify the parties concerned.

cally he delights in Reynolds, Lawrence and Constable. The big house near the Nile bridge, of which he is so proud, contains many interesting pictures, and also some vigorous water-color draw ings from the skillful brush of Lady Cromer, Much belauded by certain Englishmen, much belittled by others, he appears very indifferent to opinion and his measures are not always car ried into effect with the complete sym pathy of the colony of compatriots who surround him.
