BARTLETT's MICHAEL ANGELO.
4 Statue Which VIII De Placed in

a W. Bartlett's statue of Michael
Angelo, which, when complete, will oc-
cupy a place IN the second story of the
great rotuuld in the Congressional Lii
brary at Washington. viii be one of the
remarkable works Of art in that collec-
ton, because the artist has ~refrained
from idealizing his subject, and has pOr-
trayed him In keeping with the descrip-
tons OF tho great sculptor which have
come 10 the present generation. He is
represented as contemplating one OF his
works. The position Of ths head makes
some people who have seen the model
think that the completed work will have

at its best. and that it will be less enec-
tive from the main floor of the rotunda.
from which point it will receive the most
attention.
Michael Angelo was neither stately nor
tall; he was in no respect a handsome
man, and his plain face had been dis
figured by an injury. He dressed in a
careless manner, and historians have de-
scribed him as the exact opposite of
the popular, beautiful. n artistically
robed Raphael. All these shortcomings.

The Date Line.
New York Sun

A mapmaker asks the Sun If the Date
Ldhe' or the imaginary line drawn 10
marx the change in the calendar dav re-
quired of circumnavigators of the globe
follows the 1Sth meridian. He adds that
he has been unable TO find the Date line
on any map.
The Date Line does not follow the lSOtb
or any other meridian for its entire course.
but takes a somewhat devious route
through the Pacific. 1t is strange that il
Is shown on so very few mans 81 the
world. The reasons why a crooked course
was given TO 1t and why it was placed i'm
the Pacific are interesting and easily I'M
derstood.
Suppose the Date Line had been run
through our country on the meridian OF
Chicago. In that case, when IL was Mon
day in New York. Cleveland. and indian
apolis it would be Tuesday all the way
from Chicago 10 San Francisco and out
on the Pacific. OF course, tina would be
a serious business Inconvenience. II is
evident that the Date Line should not pass
through any continents. 1t is practically
a necessity that such a lire had to be
fixed somewhere, but ii obviously had TO
run through an ocean.
1t should not pass through the Atlantic
ocean, because in that Aase when il was
Nlohudy III LOHuOu, GdFlS, ana Hamburg
Ii would be Tuesday ia the United States.
and this would be in%convenient in regions
that have such enormous interests in COM
mon and are so closely united by tele-
graphs n cables. The best place for the
Date Lin was In the Pacific ocean. IL
We follow the line through the Pacific we
shall observe that the Ideas above eX-
pressed have had due weight in marking
its course.
Passing through the middle Of Boring
Strait the line suddenly turns to the
southwest till It reaches 10 degrees east
longitude. In this way Boring Island and
the entire Aleutlan chain, all "a part OF
North America, are kept on the American
side of the line. When il Is Monday in
New York it is also Monday in Attu. our
most western American possession.
Then the line sweeps eastward again and
follows the 1S)th meridian far south TIN II
reaches the neighborhood Of the Fiji
Islands. As this group and other islands
round about belong 10 Great Britain, and
are closely united in business relations
with New Zealand and Australia. the line
takes a wide sweep 10 the east SO as 10
give them all the same calendar day. IL
then returns TO the lS0th meridian. which
follows to the Antarctic.
The annexation OF the Philippines, which
lie sixty degrees beyond the lSOth meri-
dian going west. makes il incumbent on
all Americans TO know everything about
the Date Line.

SHOPPERS, HOLLY, And MISTLETOE.

and manifested in Richmond yesterday
the feeling that comes over one when tn,

close at banda feeling which, for lach
Of a more elegant term. we call one OF
Christmas In our bones.
Richmond people apparently experienced
this feeling in all it's fulness yesterday
for the first time this year. The streets,
the stores. the markets. all gave evidence
hat the public was experiencing the re-
%Juvenating sensations that come to the
oldest when the anniversary Of Chrlst's
birth is close at hand.
THE CROWDS OF SHOPPERS.
Throughout the day Broad street was
crowded with shoppers, in the afternoon
1t was thronged. In many OF the stores
one could get n salesman only after long
waiting. The shoppers were of all ages,
and apparently of all conditions, from
the mother who spent her last quarter
for a trihing gift for child to madame
who came in her carriage TO order a set
Of the furs that are unprecedentedly
popular this Christmas, and unprece-
dentedly high.
Purchases were numerous. Everybody
had a bundle. 1t was pleasant to think
every bundle contained a token of good
will that was to gladden. the heart Of
some creature, rich or poor. for a Christ
mas gift is a great heart medicine.
HOLLY AND MISTLETOE.
The markets for the first time this
season presented a Christmas aspect yes
terday. Glistening holly and its radiant
berries were everywhere. in the plain
shrub. In wreaths. and in festoons. the
modest mistletoe was always a near
%neighbor, and arbor vitae, trailing cedar.
and ferns in great variety, were shown
in luXuriant profusion. Carloads and
wagon-loads Of the Christmas shrubs be-
gan coming into the city early yesterday,
and the market was soon fully stocked.
But not oYerstocked, for when night
came the vendor who had not disposed of
his shrubs was hard to find. Christmas
trees were not offered. They Will begin
coming in early this week.
EXPRESS BUSINESS BEGINS.
The express offices began yesterday to
experience the initial swell OF the mighty
wave Of ante-Christmas business. But
the swell was very gentle, indeed. COM
pared to the gale which will begin to-
morrow Il last until late Saturday
night.
Everywhere was evidence Of the near
