F. E. CHURCH'S WORK.
Noted Paintings by LamenteL American
Artist,

The death of Frederick Edwin
Church, the veteran landscape painter,
removed a well-known figure in art
life of this country, better remembered
perhaps by past generation than by
the younger set. He was born in Hart
ford, Conn, May 4, 1926. His talent
for art was prominent and in early
life he determined to adopt art as n
profession and placed himself under
the instruction of Thomas Cole, and
resided with him in the Catskills. He
soon became well known as a land
scape painter, and critics awarded him
praise for his accuracy of drawing
and vivid appreciation of nature. He
spent short time in Switzerland, and
in 1858 visited South America to study
the picturesque scenery. "'rhe Heart
of the Andes" which created a great
sensation. was first exhibited in 1853.
and was bought by the late william
T. Blodgett. Other well-known works
painted about the same period are
"Thc Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi,"
now at the Lenox library. "Chinbor-

now in the Corcoran art gallery.
Washington, ID. c., is recognized as
the first satisfactory production by art
of this wonderful piece of nature; it
won prize at the French exhibition
in 1867. Another painting of "Magra"
was painted for 4. T. Stewart in 1866.
the price paid for it by Mr.. Stewart
being $4,000. In 1878 he was again
represented at the French capital with
two pictures. Morning in the Tropics"
and THE Parthenon." He Travelled
extensively in this country and abroad.

KEEPER FACED DEATH
In Huge Python's Coils, but Was
Rescued,

AsesCueds
Either of the two big pythons just
brought here on the steamer Afridi
for the Bronx Park zoo, would easily
crush the ribs of horse in its terrible
embrace. One of the serpents Is twen-
ty-seven feet six inches long, the other
is at least twenty-six feet long, and as
big around as a water pail. Keeper
Horan on Wednesday afternoon had a
haif minute of time which could easily
have ended his career. Around his
body wound coil of the twenty-six-
foot python. He was not hurt. The
other keeper rushed in and as quick
as human hands could work released
him. But for one instant Horan. al
most paralyzed by the situation. could
not know whether he would sleep that
night on his bed or on his bier. There
were two pythons which Horan was
directed to measure. The female py-
thon was stretched out at full length
and the tape was applied. Then Horan
applied the tape to the male python,
| that also lay stretched out motionless.
He had measured off nearly half the
length when the huge reptile seemed
suddenly to awake. There was a shout
of warning from Keeper Snyder and
the others who were watching the
measurement, but before Horan could
stand erect the whole huge body OF
the python had suddenly taken life.
| The great head was suddenly raised,
| the great mass of ringed muscle had
swept around in a living coil, and
| Horan, pale as death, stood transfixed
with terror. Snyder and his assistants
dashed into the cage. They knew that
the reptile was still semitorpid with
cold. Fearlessly they caught hold of
the great body and shouted to Horan
to jump out of the living circle. He
did so. The men left the cage and the
python lazily stretched out its full
length and sank again into the torpor
of cold.-New York Journal.

there was something lacking in his ca

vaguely alarmed her. For she loved
Carl deeply and was unhappy in the
home of relative upon she was part

home of her own.
Carl had said, the last time he had

when he is about to get off; he has
perhaps let her stand in front of him
for blocks. and now when he is about
to give up his seat anyway he make
show of giving it to her, a curious
exhibition of about three-quarters con-
ceit and the rest cheek Usually the
woman pays no attention to this man;
she takes the seat without thanks,
whatever. But occasionally there is n
variation of this incident Sitting in

If he had thought it out at all-but
who now when he was about to leave,
wanted to have the right person get
the seat he was leaving. With this
idea in his mind and not with any con-
ceit of gallantry, he. when he had
risen, touched the sleeve of young
woman who had been standing by the
door on the other side of the car op-
posite to him, to indicate to her that
here was n seat. He was slow about
this. with the slowness of one tired,
or unaccustomed to asserting himself.
and while he was stepping forward a
small boy who had been standing by
the door slid in back of him with boy
ish celerity and took the seat. And
he kept it."-New York Sun.

affection"
Carl's mother had often sent her kind
messages. and had also sent by Carl
some very beautiful table linen for
Mildred to embroider for use after her
marriage. She knew that Mrs. Lang
lois was her friend. although they had
never met, and determined to go to see
her and discover whether Carl had con-
flded in her any change in his desire
to marry Mildred. She shrank from
the trial, yet felt it must be made for
tho sake of her future happiness Ac-
cordingly few days after Carl's visit
she took trip to his home, arriving
there as she had planned, when Carl
was absent at his business. When she
introduced herself to Mrs. Langlois she
was warmly greeted, but when she told
tho object of her visit her host was
vislbiy surprised and disconnected.
"My dear child" she exclaimed.
"therc must be a mistake somewhere.

you kept putting him off whenever he
mentioned your marriage. cannot

"Ah." Mildred said quickly, "that is
not enough to keep some girls from
trying to win away mans love. 1t
may. be that she has drawn him away
from me. But we must make sure my
dear friend-for l feel that you are my
friend-and if it is true l will willing
ly give him up to her If it is for his
happiness"
They arranged it that Mildreds pres
ence in the house should be kept Sc
cret from Carl and that his mother at
mealtime should question him in way
not to arouse his suspicious; so, as the
two sat alone at dinner, Mrs. Langlois
carelessly said:
What charming girl Marion Reed
is. CARL"
Isn't she, mother?" he cried enthu-
siastically. do you know she quite
fascinates me?"
Carl" his mother said gravely,
that is not the way for a man soon
to be married to another woman-&'
"Pshaw, mother," Carl exclaimed,
impatiently, you know l told you Mil
dred would never set the day, and we
may never be married at all"
'You are right, Mr.. Langlois," said
Mildred, who had been unable to re-
sist the temptation of listening un-
seen; you are right. We never will
be married. You are quite welcome to
ask the fascinating Miss Reed to be
your wife, for l am henceforth a stran-
ger to you"
Before Carl could recover from his
astonishment she was gone, and as her
train was just ready to depart she was
out of his reach, and the passionate
protests of affection which he was pre-
pared to make, the promises of future
fidelity. were never uttered.
Now that he had lost her. Mildred
appeared to Carl as precious treasure
which he would give anything to pos

paled into insignificance and he took
the next train in pursuit of Mildred

And the fact that the plaintiff might

vent the escape of his hogs after he
discovered that the engine was ap-

that he was guilty of such contributory
negligence as deprived him of right

company. Anderson was loading a car
of hogs on a switch track, for shipment
to Chicago, when defendants local

stood on the same track with the stock

Five Farms Now Carried on In the
United States.
There are now Eve ostrich farms in
the United states-two In California.
one In Texas, one in Florida, and one
in Arizona. The last named, although
the youngest, is the largest and most
fourishing in tho country. 1t Is To-
Gated near Phoenix, and the Salt river
valley seems we'll adapted to the AT
rican ostrich. No protection whatever
Is required for the birds during the
winter. They Craze the entire year in
the fields, the same as horses and cat
tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The
man in charge of the Arizona farm,
who spent 15 years handling ostriches
In South Africa, says the birds do just
as well in the Salt River valley as in
Africa, and that the climatic and other
conditions surrounding them here seem
as well adapted to their requirements
as those existing in their native home
After the birds attain the age of four
weeks there is little danger of their
dying from natural causes for many
years. 1t is not positively known how
long an ostrich will live under normal
conditions, but there are birds on South
African farms which are believed to
have reached or passed the century
mark. many of them having been in
captivity there over fifty years. Most
people have the idea, obtained, prob
ably, from their old Biographies when
they were children, that the female
ostrich, after laying her eggs in nest
scooped out of the desert sands, COW
ers them up with the sand and heaves
them, trusting to the heat of the sun
to hatch them. This is not the fact.
The birds always pair off during the
breeding season, the male bird making
the nest by resting his breastbone on
the sand and turning slowly round and
round, scratching the sand away with
his feet until shallow hole Is made,
some three feet in diameter and about
foot deep. The female then lays, usu-
ally. Is eggs, and the birds take turns
sitting ION them. the female sitting
during the daytime and the male at
night, except that the male allows the
female about an hour in the middle of
the day to feed, when he takes he-
place on the nest.-Boston Herald.

Up to the present time Chicago has
been able to boast the largest tele-
scope in the world-that at the Yerkes
observatory at Lake Geneva. But
the monster telescope at the Paris ex-
position, which will bring the moon
within thirty-six miles, is three times
the length of the Yerkes telescope. 1t

weighs twcnty-one tons. The lenses,
