Francisque Sarcey Planned an Instf-
tuition to Aid ImpecuniOus Genius.
Pail Mall Gazette.
One of the favorite schemes of Fran
cisque Sarcey, the dramatic critic, a
scheme he defended and explained in
scores of articles, was the foundation OF
sort OF bank that would come to the
rescue Of budding but impecunious
genius. and help fiedgling writers. paint
ers, sculptors and musicians to tide over
the difficulties that beset the beginning
OF their career by advancing them small
sums of money solely on the strength of
their promise to return 1t when their eff
forts should be rewarded with some sue
cess. During Sarceys lifetime nothing
ever came of his generous, but it would
seem, 1mpracticable and far-fetched sug-
gestions. 1t appears, however, that he
did not preach in vain. For the last eight
months his philanthropic bank has ex-
listed in Paris and has been able in that
time-a fact that in a sense Is far less
surprising-to advance nearly s1,000 to
young men who today are In the position
of the heroes of the ''Vie de Boheme,"
but who, let us hope, are to furnish the
celebrities of the future.
The smaller loans are granted without
any formaHty whatever, but when larger
sums are inyolved-say 910 or G20-the
borrower signs a paper pledging himself
on his honor to refund the money The
signatures, however, are kept a profound
secret So as not to the wound the feel
ings Of would-be borrowers, no sort of in
quiry Is made into their antecedents or
circumstances; it is sufficient that they
should be able to furnish signed article
or some other slight evidence that they
are really engaged in literary or artistic
pursuits In these circumstances perhaps
the most astonishing thing about the
bank is that several of its clients have
already paid back the money advanced

the pleasure of the little ones
Last year there were two charming lit
tie boys, bearing the given names Of
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson,
who created great attention. They were
as handsome boys as are to be seen any,
where. They were motherless, and their
father was in the Thirteenth at Manila,
but they were brought there by their
aunt. This year they were absent, but
the Elks had not forgotten them. They
sent the invitation with tho street car
tickets to their aunt, but she modestly
replied that their father had returned and
secured employment, and she preferred
that their presents should go to some
other poor children.
1t was really surprising to sec the fine
appearance of the children present. Their
mothers had evidently arrayed them in
their best. proud of their children. and
self-sacrificing as in many, perhaps most,
cases their own dress was much more

a type of Spanish Renaissance, with in

its calm reflection and its atmosphere

The facades present an arcaded effect

hangs, add to the picturesque. Each

giving large plain surfaces for color,

there was n total destruction of all
buildings within a radius of 800 yards,
while from that distance to $50 yards
all the buildings were shattered and
the roofs were battered in up to about
1000 yards. But all these buildings were
built chiefly of corrugated iron and
mud, and therefore were of a most
unsubstantial character. On the other
hand, we have in the United States the
blowing up Of the Hudson river Pals-
AIDES at Fort Lee in 1898, when the ex-
plosion of two tons of dynamite, placed
in chamber in the rock, brought down
100000 tons Of rock; the blasting of
the Dinorwic quarries. Lamberis, in the
same year, when 21a tons of gelatin dy-
Mantle. placed in chambers In the dixie,
oVerthew 10000 tons of rock; and the
destruction of the famous Talcen Mawr
in 1895, when seven tons Of powder,
poured into two shafts. dislodged a
mass of rock computed to weigh from
125,OOO to 100000 tons. From this we
find that the dynamite on the interior
at Fort Lee was over forty times as
efficient as the explosive gelatin on the
surface at Johannesburg, while the
powder at Talsen Mawr was over forty
two times as efficient. 1t is. hence, not
surprising that the superficial explo-
sion of 3D0-pOund charges Of gun cotton
thrown by the Nesuvius' guns at San
| tiago during the war between the
United States and Spain produced no
serious structural damage. and simply
| harrassed the enemy by their frightful
| reports. which occurred at infraquent
