Portrait Painting

The modern practice of having por-
traits of individuals seems to have
sprung up naturally enough with the
popularity of easel pictures, and this
again was much influenced by the in
PRODUCTION of oil painting. Whether
Antonello of Messina really acquired
the art from the Van Eycks or from Luz
cas- OF Leyden, as some have conjectured,
is very doubtful, but il was certainly
he who introduced the new art process
into Venice, whence it spread all over
Italy.
We have now come TO the full devel-
opment Of the art of painting that sprang
up toward the close of the fifteenth CEN
fury, and which was chiefly embodied
in four great men-Leonardo, Raphael,
Michael Angelo and Titan All of these
were great portrait painters in the true
sense Of the term, with the exception of
Michael Angelo, who seldom condo.
scended to easel pictures and who never
worked in oil.

euro. Up to this time the colors used
were mostly clear and light, and only
so much shading was introduced as was
necessary to give relief TO the figures.
The value of shadow in itself was hardly
appreciated-in fact, the whole concep.
ton OF painting was to show everything
as far as possible in full light
The great innovator in this matter
was Leonardo. Being, as he was, as
much man Of science as painter, the
problems of light and shade interested
him in both capacities, and he investi-
gated them in something of the modern

acquired he succeeded i'll giving to his
figures roundness and relief that had
been hitherto unknown. In fact, he car

INVENTORS DON'T PATENT.
DISCOVERIES of Epoch Making Devices Took
No Pains to Keep Them.

If you look back on the history of hui
man progress, you will find that none
of the great epoch making inventions
has ever been patented The man who
lit the first fire whether Promotions
or the party from whom he stole the
idea, did not get patent for it. Mel
Their did tie man who made the first
wheel-in every sense one of the most
revolutionary inventions in the history
OF man. The same thing may be said of
the invention of soap, candles, gun
powder, umbrellas and the mariners
compass, or, 10 come down TO our own
day, of the steam engine and the cleo
trio telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in candles or umbrel.
las or it may be in the application of
steam and elcctricity-and by means of
these patents enormous profits have
been secured TO second rate inventors.
but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlio these details have been
given TO the world gratis.
There Is general notion that If you
did not protect inventions by means of
patents inventors would cease 20 invent,
and material progress would come 20
standstilL But history does not bear
this out in the least. Men with great
mechanical gifts do not exercise them
solely with view TO commercial profit

How Napoleon Raised Money.

Napoleon had the lavish hand of a
parvenu, but his beneficiaries were not
grateful, and with ever increasing in
science were always craving more. The
system Of private confiscations or forced
contributions from individuals had al
ready attained vast dimensions. During
the winter Of 1S09-10 it was extended
and regulated; the sums wrung from
German princes and Spanish grandees,
from English merchants and the Italian
clergy, were not entirely exhausted; the
remainder, together with what was "ac-
cepted' from timorouspoliticians crafty
ecclesiastics, sly contractors and unprin-
cipled inanciers, was now erected into
the dignity Of the emperor's "extraor.
binary domain. /" The term "army
chest" had been devised for times of
higher public morality it was now dis
carded. Confscated palaces, forests,
lands, fisheries, moneys from the sale of
American ships-all were now the en-
perors private property. Professor

was perhaps not as successful as the pre-
vious one, owing TO the lateness of the
ascent; but certainly as exciting. TIE
balloon did not go up nearly as high as
on the first ascension neither did the
parachute open as quickly, but it opened
before there was any danger, and the
