In The International Studio for October
John LaneD 10 a short illustrated paper on Marc
Antocolsckij, tho great Russian jewish sculp-
tor. whose work created a sensation when OK
hibited In Paris somo few years ago. Also IN
article on "Algraphy,' n new sub
stituto for TYPOGRAPHY. Owing to the weight,
variability In quality, and the scarcity OF litho'
graphic stone, any alternative prepared surface
that viii give equally good results and preserve
the technical character Of photography must be
OF great value to the artist. 1t is claimed that

Mr.. Cuylor Reynolds of Albany prints in a
pamphlet an essay which he read before the
Albany Institute on the interesting subject OF
the recurrence OF letters. With considerable
industry he has compiled a new table showing
the relative frequency Of each letter OF the
