I hayu friend whom shall venture
to call ''poor artist" for know that
he is poor and gets his living, such as it
is, by painting. cannot pretend to
judge his work, but have had ample
proof that he is devoted, laborious and
will not sacrifice his convictions for gain
or popularity. Perhaps he is not SO sim
gular in this, but what, as my experience
goes, is a popularity Of his is that he
is not in the habit of cursing the "Phil-
istines.' His view seems to be that, as
he paints to suit himself, it does not
comport with his self respect to blame
people whom his painting does not suit
for refusing to buy it or for being un-
able to understand it. My friend, as I
have said, is poor and is likely to re-
main SO, but he appears really content
with his work and his relative poverty.
confess that his attitude is a comfort
to me, and that in his patience and
modesty and generous fidelity to his
ideal he is model whom some other
artists = perhaps artists generally =
might study with advantage. He puts
into his work the best he has to give, and
that, in substance, is what the great
critics have insisted is the source of the
greatest value in art. Of course mans
best, so far as concerns his talent, may
be much or little but>whatever it is he
will hardly get it into his work if he is
thinking chiefly Of the money return or
if he is habitually resentful because he
does not get the money return.

Bicycles In Vienna.

How far government should go in car
ing for the safety Of the individual is
nice question, about which there is
much difference of opinion. A striking
example of "paternalism" is presented
by the regulations which govern bicycle
riding in Vienna, as set forth by cor
respondent Of the New York Home
journal.
In Vienna all bicycle riders before
obtaining permission to ride on the pub
lie streets must pass an official exami-
nation. They are required to ride be-
tween boards laid ON the floor without
touching the sides or edges of the boards.
At the word Of command they must be
able to dismount either right, left or
backward. Until the rider passes this
strict examination satisfactorily Ii
cense to ride on the public highway is
refused
That is all very well in it's way. For
government to take such parental care
OF its people is regarded by many as evi-
dence of a high state Of civilization, but
the fact is that, SO far as New York is
concerned, the most serious accidents,
those causing loss of life, have nearly
all befallen experienced riders. It is the
experts who are killed-those who take
great risks.

The American student to whom the
mysteries Of architecture are made clear
in Paris or New York forgets what was
the former sanctity of his art Mr.. Her
bert Spencer shows conclusively that the
professional architect of thousands of
years ago was the priest. Early archi-
lecture sprang from ancestral worship,
and ancestral worship was the oldest of
all beliefs. The graves of the departed
had first to be preserved. The embeIlish-
ment came afterward ;>thence the call
ing of the architect became sacred. The
relic had to be preserved within an
elaborate shrine. AT first it might have
been that the erection of a tomb called
forth certain amount of skill, and soon
the temple followed the tomb. Mentu-
holtp's hieroglyphic inscription that
"the chief architect was promoted and
became priest shows the merging of
the two callings.
II am a great architect" says King
Bekenkhonsu, "and was holy father
Of Anon for IL years. Sometimes the
architect in Egypt was also general.
Herbert Spencer shows how any special
skill among a primitive people was al
ways supposed by them to be derived
from some supernatural power. There
must have been amazement when the
first arch was sprung. Coming down
nearer to our own time, even to the
tenth century, we know that abbots and
priests were the architects. There is evil
dence that in Raphael's age Pope Leo
appointed an aged friar as an assistant
in the building of st. Peters. It was
very much nearer to our day when the
clerical architect gave up his task, leav-
ing the constructive part to the master
builder, and from the master builder
came the modern architect

When Navigation Might Cease.

MANY fishes and other marine ami
mails reproduce in the most wonderful
manner said g fisherman. ga hundred
thousand eggs from single fish is COM
mon enough, and it may be that practi-
cally all hatch out. But they are subject
to many vicissitudes. Many die, many
are eaten by other fishes, perhaps by
their kind; some are caught by men !;
comparatively few reach maturity. If
all the fishes born should survive and
they should continue to oreproduce in the
same ratio, it wouldn't be SO very long
before the ocean would be SO clogged
with fish that navigation would be i'm
possible. New York Sun.

A STRANDED SHIP.
How Passengers and Crew Are Landed by
the Life Saving Service.

How Passengers and Crew Are Landed by
the Life Saving Service.
Suppose that large boat-a transat-
lantic steamer. for example-has been
stranded and the waves are running
mountain high Obviously, from its
bulk, it cannot be near shore. But it is
near enough to be reached by bullet
from the Lyle gun. The Lyle gun is
diminutiye cannon. It was invented by
Captain D. A. Lyle, United States
army, and has superseded the old life
mortar, which is still in use in Eng
land. It is lighter than mortar and
has longer range. It will fire long
cylinder distance of about 695 yards.
A thin line Of waterproof rope is at
tached to this cylinder. When the gun
is fired, the cylindrical bullet flies over
the ship. and dropping on the other
side, leaves the thin rope stretched
across the deck When the shipwrecked
sailors have secured this shot line, the
shore end is connected with a whip OF
hauling line This is an endless rope,
or ellipse, nearly an inch thick and
long enough to reach from the shore to
the vessel. It is reeved through pulley
block, having attached to it ''tail' or
piece of rope several feet long.
The shot line is tied around both
parts Of the whip, few feet above the
pulley block, and at q signal the crew
Of the vessel haul the whip, on board by
means Of the shot line. On it they find
attached placard giving directions,
both in English and French, as to how
to set up the whip line on the ship. The
want Of this knowledge has been fire.
quent cause Of disaster. AS soon as the
directions have been followed signal
is given to the shore. Here a hawser of
the requisite length, inches i'll circum-
ference, is tied to one part Of the whip
or endless hauling line and is sent out
to the vessel by the life saving crew
pulling upon the other part. The ship
wrecked crew fasten the hawser to the
mast about Is inches above the hauling
line. Meanwhile on shore crotch,
made Of two pieces of wood about 10
feet high, crossed at the top in Z form,
is erected, the shore end of the hawser
Being drawn over the intersection,
stretched taut by pulleys and securely
anchored.
And now the .hawser, forming q sus-
pension bridge of thick rope from the
ship to the shore, is ready for either the
life Car or the breeches buoy.
The life car is the older institution.
1t will hold seven or eight people. But
the breeches buoy, which will hold only
one, is found safer and even, through
its easier handling, more expeditions.

can be used in almost any weather on the
lakes, are, from their weight and heavy
draft, impracticable along the line Of the
ocean. The lighter su1fboat can be drag
ged along the sandy shore by its crew

''March Is, 1913 or 1919, Richard
Burbage, player, died at Shoreditch,
London"
The first of the great English tragic
actors, Burbage, was in every way
worthy to head the long roll Of Eng
lands famous players. The son of an
actor, the friend and companion Of
Shakespeare, it was through him that
many of the heroes of the dramatist
first spoke to the eager playgoers who
thronged the Globe theater. He was
the original Of Romeo, Hamlet, Lear,
Othello, Macbeth, Shylock, Richard III,
and many other of Shakespeare's lead
ing characters, and his name stands
next to that of the great poet in the Ii
censes for acting granted by James in
1903 to the company of the Globe
theater.
His powers as an actor were not his
only claim to distinction, for he was
also successful painter. The fame Of
his abilities held a prominent place in
theatrical tradition for many years, a
poem in his honor, dedicated to one Of
the great players Of the day, being writ
ten as late as the time of Charles H.
His death, which was probably the
result of paralysis, caused the poets to
turn their thoughts to his successful
career, and it is from the numerous
elegies then written that most Of the
information concerning him must be
gathered. Few players have ever had
the good fortune TO be SO well liked by
the dramatists Of their time, and all
praised him, one even lamenting that
his death "Hath made visible eclipse
Of playing
A shrewd, careful man i'll his business
affairs, Burbage left al estate producing
yearly income of $500, a large sum for
player in those days to bequeath to his
heirs. Beloved and respected by all, he
survived his great master by only a few
years, his grave bearing the simple, ex-
pressive epitaph, exit Burbage. p
