PlcTuRINo A SEA FIGHT.

How Instantaneous Photography Figures
In the Modern Painters Art.
Instantaneous photography has made
Il easy to-day for men with little knowl-
edge of seamanship TO place ships and
boats under sail in picture, but IN
early days, says Temple Bar, the power
of doing SO correctly was limited to
few men like Stanfield and Capt. Beechy.
R-N.
The difficulty of obtaining anything
like reliable description of sea fight,
even from those who had taken part in
it, was, according to Stanfield, very
great. and he told us how, when plan
ming his picture of The Battle of Ira
faigar.~ he applied to Capt. Hardy for
advice as to the position of the Victory,
Hardy's answer being that, owing to
the smoke. it was impossible during
the height of the action to see beyond
the ships alongside. adding: Il am
about the worst man you could come to,
for some time before that which your
picture represents the Victory's tiller
ropes had been shot away, and was be-
low in the steerage attending to them
and the helm. and down there we knew
SO little of what was going on that we
continued 10 load and fire one of her
stern guns until ordered from the deck
to stop because we were firing into one

Like Loutherbourg, Stanfield had
been at sea as young man, while both
owed much of their facility and power
of composing n subject to their early
training in the scene loft But think
Loutherbourg greatly surpassed Stan

edge of naval architecture.

1t has hitherto. SAYS the New Orleans
Picayune. been the custom of the chill
dren Attending the public schools in
Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands
Of the teacher on arrival and departure.
This has now been forbidden by an
order from the imperial board of edu-
cation. which bases it's action on the
fact that sanitary investigation has
shown that kissing is unhealthful and
should not be. practiced, except when
absolutely necessary. This brings up
a very nice point of law to establish
when kissing is absolutely necessary.
If the public school teachers of Aus
tria and Hungary are old and ugly it
is likely that the scholars will acquiesce
in the new ruling without murmur.
If, on the other hand, the schoolmarms
are pretty young women, like most OF
the New Orleans teachers, then the big
boys in Austrian schools may keep up
the good old custom of kissing the
teacher, and plead that it was a case
when kissing was absolutely necessary
Science is going too far, anyway, when
it finds microbes in kisses and tries
to establish quarantine against them.
