Dor the rate of the machines pulse may
be gagged with certainty, the moment
of completion accurately fixed before

all depends upon conditions that seem
TO be hourly changing. The mood of
the artist. his distrust of the scheme
attempted, or his entire confidence in
it: the state of his nerves, of his gen.

Philistine ascribes these halts and ret
rogressons to the weakness of the ar
tistic temperament. Yet they are due
to the work rather than to the work
man-to the fact that he follows an
art and not a trade. No artist can be
entirely exempt from this oppressive
influence, which arises afresh at each
new effort with as many heads as Hy-

mate the value of their product by the

has engendered.-From Wilton Lock-

The Giobe's suspicious.

London, Feb. f6.--The Globe this after
moon. commenting on the disaster to the
United States steamer Maine. says: 1T
Is impossible 10 refrain from the sus-
picion that the explosion may have been
caused by foul means. Although an
chored, the Maine would have steam up
in one Of her boilers for the dynamus
and auxiliary machinery. If an Internal
machine had been hidden in the coal
and thrown into the funaces obviously
there would have been an explosion of
the boiler and as a result of the maya
zine. That this terrible event should
have occurred in the harbnr of Havana
renders solution Of the mystery of in
ternational Importance"

American ships. was wrecked by a ter
