PAINTED IN THE WRONG PLACE.
Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings

Did you ever notice II flying angelo

Ii so, you have doubtless marked tho

The hands are gracefully disposed
along the sides, just as if flying were no
particular effort. and the feet are
trailed straight behind. though no man
has ever found out Just what holds them
there.
1t has been SO since the time of
Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the
N. Y. World. Those old masters were
probably among tho first offenders
against physical possibilities. They
frescoed the wall md ceilings of ancient
c%athedrals with ethereal beings with
enormous wings %spronting from their
shoulder blades and their feet trailing
straight ont behind.
Since then every artistic .fom, Dick,

the impossible lines laid down by the
old painters, and although science has
heen developed and human ideas have
changed greatly since Athens was in its
prime, The absurd form ofthe ideal angel

With the wings at the shoulder blades
the center of gravity would extend
