Art For Arts Sake.

1t Is very difficult thing to obtain ad-
mittance to the beautiful residence of Rosa
Bonheur. Most of the Information printed
concerning the talented artist Is supplied
by her friends, as strangers seldom get a
chance Of seeing her at work. One of her
friends has recently explained how II is
that there are not more OF her pictures on
the market.
Rosa Bonheur works very hard in spite
Of her 20 years. All round-on the win
dow frames, the little tables and the walls
ARE fresh studies. She literally piles mas.
terpiece upon masterpiece, not to sell and
make money, but because she must work
and try to do something better than she
has done before.
At one end Of her studio is an unfinished
picture, a magnificent piece of work. II
has been In an unfinished condition for 90
years, yet she has standing offer of AGO.
600 francs for 1t when completed.
II do not want the money!" she says.
II prefer to work for myself. I love art
for its own sake. When find that money
Is getting low, do a picture or two In or.
der to keep things going and then con.
tinue In my own way"
The artist, as most people know, prefers
to work In male attire.-Strand Magazine.

The manager Of shop In Lewes stood
In the doorway the other day when a man
with a wooden leg and a crutch came
along and said:
II want you to do me favor. want
TO leave my leg with you for few min.
utes and go round to the next street and
work house for half crown. I've an
idea that the folks are very sympatbetio.
Ii go with one leg, l am sure of it,"
VERY well, F" said the shopkeeper. "Just
leave your leg here and I'll take care OF
it,
The wooden substitute was unstrapped
ana handed over and the cripple used the
crutch to help himself down the alley.
Five minutes later. he rang the doorbell
OF house In the next street. to have IL
opened by the man he had just seen.
'Mh-wh-whatP he gasped.
VERY sympathetic family lives here. -
quietly replied the other. "You seem 10
have met with sad loss, and I'm anxious
60 help you. Here is wooden leg which
may fit you.
The leg was handed over. The man sat
down on the steps and strapped it on, and
as he got up and stumped through the
gate he said to himself:
I've heard Of condolences ever since /
was youngsteT but this Is the first one
that ever hit me with both feet at once. "

SOLAR ENGINE TESTED.

novel Device Near Boston Which IL Said
to Work Successfully.
AT Longwood, near Boston, the other
day, solar engine Of Ingenious construc-
ton, which has been under construction
for several months, was given q highly
successful test with cold water in the boil
or, the formation Of steam being almost
instantly. The gauge registered pressure
OF about 80 pounds in half an hour, which
drove the engine steadily, doing the work
of about two horsepower.
The engine consists of three parts, q re-
Hector, which concentrates the heat, CYL
inder for generating the steam and a de-
vice for keeping the suns rays constantly
In focus on the cylinder. In the machine
set up at Longwood there is heavy iron
framework, which supports q series of
glass mirrors arranged in semicircular
sheet 22 feet in diameter. This mirror is
nearly as high as 1t is wide, and the frame
work ON which 1t is placed Is SO adjusted
that 1t will follow the sun in its circuit
and may be adjusted by hand from week
to week to follow the declination of the
sun.
This boiler is one of the peculiar features
OF the solar machine which would puzzle
any one unacquainted with heliodynamics.
1t Is of copper. about inches In diameter
and as long as the curved mirror in the
focus OF which 1t is placed. Owing to the
fact that that mirror Is made up of innu-
merable facets Of glass the cylinder re-
ceiyes light on every part of its surface,
cutting out any area of shadow at the back
and having the direct sunlight in 'front.'
