ing the English art worlC will have
been settled, namely, the selection OF n

At least half dozen artists of the II st
rank who are regarded by themsel ~
and their respective followers ns cam
didatos for the high honor. but ne
objections against one and all Of them
are numerous
In the first place the president m,.sl
not only be n commanding figure II
art circles and fnvoritc with he
queen, but he must be a sOtial pow y.
He must be familiar with the intrila-
cies Of the best society, to gracefully
dispense the Inequalities Of the nc I'd
emics. Moreover, he must be n man Of
wealth and able to entert, in on IN
elaborate scale. He must lie cons =
vatiye In his artistic feelings and jeal-
ously guard against the admission of
radical Innovations Eccentric eharac-
ters like Whistler, no matter how great
their merit, must be frov ned upon,
otherwise 1t would be regarded rs
jeopardizlng the whole august structure
Of the academy.
The men who seem To stand foremost
among tho candidates for the presiden-
cy are Laurenz Alma-Tadema, Hubert
Herkomer, William Qulltcr Orcha'l
son, Marcus Stone, Edward J. Poynte",
Valentine Cameron Prins,p and cir
Edward Burne-Jones. Five years ago

opinion has undergone Il change, al
though 1t Is doubtful II Sir Edward Is
potent enough to reach the presidency.
II the matter were to be decided sim
ply on the unyarnished question Of
merit maTadema would beyond
doubt secure the honor. There Is one
thing which stands in his way. how
ever. and that !s his foreign birth.
II the English people are iiporal enough
To Ignore this, his chances will be bet,
ter than any OF the others. Alma
Tadema was born In Friesland in 1896
and Is consequently at the ripe age OF
sixty years. In everything but ms
birth he Is English, and this Will
doubtless carry some weight. He be-
came naturaIized Eng,ishman IN
1873 and his wife Is an English woman.
She was Laura Epps. and al an art st
and novelist has won exten i've fame
The London home Of Alma-Tadema
is one OF the centers OF the European
art world. Both he and his wife go
extensively into society. and their IN
entertainments are OF a magnificent
order. On this score, and Il IL an I'M

SELECTION OF WALL PAPER.

1t is dangerous to select figured
papers from a small sample. A marked
pattern is apt to develop when the
breadths are put together which the
sample did not indicate. This may be
in the shading when the figure Is
small, giving striped look to the wall,
or curious effects may result from the
balancing Of large figures. Dark pat
terms, particularly when the edges are
well defined, sometimes seem to retire
into the wall. while the light back
grounds start out, oddly shaped and
paper, one should see three or four
breadths hung together. Even then
the figures when on the wall may
make diagonal and oblque lines OF
light and shade OF which the strips give
no Eint. II should be remembered that
all papers are darker on the wall than
in the piece. Cartridge paper is sever
al shades darker on account OF It's
rough surface, which absorbs the light
Cartridge paper Is often darker on
one edge than on the other. When
this Is the case every other breadth
should be hung upside down 70 bring
the dark edges together, The shading
will not be perceptible II this is done
Papers with Il gilt background require
an expert to hang them so that the
effect is not that OF two entirely DIFF
ferent sorts Of paper, They are best
avoided in any case, for they need
special environment to make them or

together with A Discussion of the
Structure of the Wood, by FLibert
r 9TH bulletin No. Is, Division Of
Forestry, U. s. Department of Agricul
ture), has been prepared and published
Ito aid in securing a true conception
of the extent, condition, and value Of
this resource, with the hope ofinducing
rational forestry methods in their use
and production"
The pines discussed in this publica
ton comprise the four more important
species occurring in the South, namely,
longleaf pine, Cuban pine, shortleat
pine, loblolly pine, and n Of less i'm
portance, the spruce pine.
In an introduction, Mr.. Fernow dis
cusses and compares the relative COM
mercial value and properties of the
four pines. This is followed by five
separate papers, or monographs, by
DR.. Mohr, each species being discussed
in detail and fully illustrated by wood
e~ngravings The discussion comprises
a more or less detailed account, &C
companied by maps, of the distribution
of the species and character of the
forest areas within which they occur
and their relative commercial value,
and coVers the history of their exploita-
ton and present condition of the
sources of supply. To clear away the
great confusion with regard to vernac
ular names, which frequently leads to
misunderstanding in commerce, a
synonymy of botanical and vernacular
names is given.
A brief botanical description and
statement of the products and their
uses is followed by a more detailed &C
count OF the life history and develop
ment of the species, from the Seeding
to the full-groWn tree, which is to serve
as a guide in establishing a rational
system Of forest management.
To the monograph on the longleat
pine, an account of the naval store in
dustry is appended.
Mr.. Roth discusses the structure Of
the wood, it's differentiation into sap
and heartWood, annual rings, spring
and summer wood, and the minute
anatomy aIso the average strength of
the wood of the various species, the re
lation of strength to weight, and dis
tribution Of weight and strength
throughout the tree, effect of age, of
moisture and locality, and the effect
bleeding has on the equality of the
wood.
The bulletin contains 100 pages, %

subjects alphabetically arranged, which
makes the reference to any subject
easy.

ment publications of over 100 pages to
