THE ART SOCIETY.
Mr. Robinsons Third Lecture on Greek
Art,

Edward Robinson delivered the third
lecture in his course on Greek art be-
fore the Worcester Art Society at Terp-
sichorean hall, Tuesday evening, before
a large audience. The subject of the
evening was the treatment Of drapery
and the head in Greek sculpture. 1t
proved one Of the most interesting of
the course.
The three elements Of beauty, ideality
and rhythm, which were pointed out in
the previous lecture as being important
in the treatment of the human figure,
were also named as the essential ele-
ments in the treatment of drapery. The
lecturer did not think that the Greeks
went about the streets. of Athens in
precisely such garments as are found
on the statues, but he explained how
the garments which they actually wore
could by little idealization be repre-
sented as we see them. The mems gar
ments were mainly three. A sleeveless
shirt or tunic of thin cloth, which eX-
tended nearly to the knee, over which
was worn a long rectangular garment
like a shawl about two thirds as wide as
the height of the Wearer and twice as
long as wide. This was often of woolen
cloth and quite thick and warm. Over
this was a small semi-circular cape,
which was worn partly for warmth and
partly for ornament. The garments OF
the women were much like those of the
men, save that the principal robe OF
dress was often of silk or fine linen
and longer than that of the men, sc
that it extended several times around
the body and was often used to cover 8
part of the face. With these simple anG
effective materials, the artist was able
to get not only forms of great beauty
but also expression which it would bt
impossible to obtain had the figures beer
clothed as are the people of our OWL
time.
A ripple of laughter was caused wher
Mr.. Robinson asked if hero could well
be depicted in a Prince Albert coat OF
an ulster. The diff arent ways in which
drapery could express action, emotion
and repose were illustrated by many
beautiful stereopticon views from photo
graphs of examples Of various periods OF
Greek sculpture. So clever was tine
Greek artist in the rendering of express
sion in drapery, that many figures OF
which the heads and arms are destroyed
can be easily identified by the drapery
alone. Drapery was never used to con-
ceal the figure nor to avoid the neces-
sity of modelling it, but as a beautiful
accessory.
The lecture closed with number of
Slldes showing the development of the
modelling Of the human head from the
calm, expressionless, idealized face
from which all realistic details had been
eliminated, to the more complex and
natural type. The most interesting of
the former group thrown on the screen
was one Of the recent acquisitions to the
Boston Art Museum.
nhe next lecture will be on the group
ing or composition of human figures,

DoMEsTICATIoN OF THE CAT AND
DOG.
From the Boston Journall

ID
1t is impossible to trace the origin of
the domestic cat with certainty to any
existing species or variety of the Wild
cat. Indeed, the time at which the cat
was first domesticated and introduced
TO human society is simply a matter of
conjecture. Prof. Shaler expresses the
opinion that the domestication of the
cat must have been much later than
that of the dog, while naturalists give
reason for believing to the contrary.
Some people agree with Prof. Shaler
and for this reason: That dogs were
probably first domesticated in order to
assist in hunting, and, therefore, prob
ably, in what is called the hunting age
of human society; whereas the cat has
nowhere been generally used as a hunt
ing animal. The dog is essentially gre
garious; he loves to hunt in packs, and
when introduced to a human family he
regards the family as his pack and
hunts accordingly, so that he is easily
made serviceable by the human hunter.
The cat, on the contrary, is unsocial; it
lives alone and hunts alone, so that it
could not be expected to be easily
trained to hunt, either with men or for
men In fact, the only member Of the
cat family that is known to have been
trained to hunt is the cheetah though
GIL etllSAC4tL IASS plldu WHICH
may be seen in the British museum rep
resents cat which is apparently as
sisting hunter to catch birds.
There Is another reason for thinking
that the cat must have been adopted by
man after the hunting age. namely, the
cats wonderful attachment to localities.
Animals like the wolf, with which the
dog is closely allied, follow their prey
over vast tracts Of country and seem to
be entirely destitute of local attachment.
The wildcat, ON the contrary, settles
down in a particular spot and waits for
It's prey to come. When removed from its
accustomed habitat it seems to lose its
skill, and therefore would be useless to
men in hunting age, because in that
age men seldom had fixed habitations,
but roamed abroad wherever game was
to be found. OF course, much Of this is
conjecture. Whether the cat or the dog
was first adopted by men cannot now
be certainly known, but the cat was
we'll known as a domestic animal at an
early period Of human history

THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Topics of Mr.. swift's Talk Before the
Pilgrim Church Mems Union.

]. E. Dixon, president of Pilgrim
Church Mems League, introduced by a
few pleasant words, to large number
Of ladies and gentlemen assembled in
the lecture room of that church, Tues
day evening, H. D. Swift, the we'll
known local astronomer.
Mr.. Swift spoke recently, it will be
remembered, before the Old South peo-
pie, upon the same subject, '"The solar
system" The planetary system of
which our earth forms part, is always
of great interest to everybody, and the
talk of Tuesday evening instructed as
well as entertained those present. Mr..
Swift told the story of the mighty uni
verse in so simple terms that a child
could understand it.
He told of the moon with it's lack of
atmosphere, its hills and valleys it's
cold, bleak, uninhabited eXpanse of sur
face, the planet Mars, to observe which
an expedition was sent from Harvard
to the mountains Of Arizona; Saturn,
with his gorgeous girdle of brilliant col
ors; Jupiter, with his seven moons; the
far-away planets of Herschel or Ura-
nus; and Neptune, whose journey
around the sun means a travel of one
hundred of our years; the comets, those
mysterious trailing clouds of glory, all
made perfect fairy tale of science told
in brief. interesting terms
The sun, said he, is slowly but surely
moving toward some point in the heay-
ems. Tt may be hundreds of years. it
may be more. but the time is surely
coming when the sun ,will be absorbed
in some other great body and will cease
to give us its warmth and light. That
bright star in the Pleiades, Alcyone,
has been thought by some to be the cen
tral point in the universe toward which
our sun is constantly drawn.
The science of astronomical photog-
raphy, he declared was now at a high
degree of accuracy, the method Of pho
tographing the heavenly bodies being
very interesting.
