Evolution of Goethe's Art,

In paper on The Evolution Of
Goethe's Art" read before the Royal
Society of Literature, Mr.. Oscar
Browning traced the development Of
Goethes literary faculty. beginning
with the French influences which sur
rounded it at Frankfurt and the return
to German influences at Leipsic. pass
ing to the friendship with Herder
which awakened a love of early nat
ural poetry and the appreciation Of
English literature, especially Shakes
peare and Goldsmith. Court life at
Weimar furnished stimulus toward
the drama, and the Italian journey en-
phasized the classical tendencies Of his
mind. Returning to Weimar he be-
came posSessor of himself and the I'M
disputed master of European litera-
ture. Mr.. Browning dwelt on the gen
eralizing tendencies of Goethe's later
art. Civilization creates the necessity
for new subjects in art and means of
dealing with them adequately must be
found.

SmOkeIess Coal.

Experiments have for some time
been made In England with smokeless
coal. This peculiar fuel may be burn
ed either in an ordinary CRATE or in a
basin in the middle of a room without
developing any perceptible odor or
smoke at any time. The fire looks like
the finest coke fire, and the flame is
white and blue. 1t throws out con-
siderable heat. The residue of the
coal amounts to about 3 per cent. For
Industrial purposes this new fuel is
formed into briquettes of different
sizes for different purposes. In Lon
don smokeless briQuettes can already
be bought at about So per ton. The
smokeleSS coal is said to be composed
of 90 per cent of coal dust and . per
cent of Il mixture of wood, tar and I'M
Stacked lime. These three ingredients
are mixed together and pressed into
moldS in such Il way that they do not
fall apart when being burned

: HUNTING Big GAME !
Z A LONDON NEWSPAPER HOPES Z
TO FIND GIANT SLOTHS !
IN PATAGONIA.

The London Daily Express has got
up an expedition to Patagonia to finG
whether the mylodon, or giant sloth,
still exists in the mountains there.
The fact that scientists believe these
giants of prehistoric times still exist in
flesh and blood was brought to light in
lecture by Professor Ray Lancaster
in London, who said:

to say more than that. I believe the

MYLODON AS 1T WOULD APPEAR IN A MOD
ERN CITY.
giant ground sloth still exists In some
of the mountainous regions of Patago-
MIA"
Professor Lancaster concluded his in
teresting lecture by showing q colored
representation of a mylodon as the best
authorities consider him to have ap-
peared or as perhaps he does today ap-
pear in the lower portion Of the Andes.
These sloths attained an enormous
length. The skeleton of one Of the
same family found recently in Wyo-
ming measured 135 feet.
They had powerful hind legs and a
tail Of enormous strength, much resem-
bling that of kangaroo, but Of giant
proportions. They could stand upright,
and it is believed that they subsisted
mostly on the tender tops of trees.
Descendants Of the Sloth are still
found in Central and South America,
but they are comparatively small.
The modern sloths seldom If ever
stand upright. They cling to the low
er side of branches, and when one en-
tiers tree he does not leave it until it
has been denuded of all its foliage. 1t
is called a Sloth because of it's slow
movements.
The Express expedition is fitted out
SO that if at all possible one of the gil
ants will be taken alive.
Hesketh Prichard who is at present
acting as The Express commissioner Of
the Haiti expedition, is to have charge
of this search for a monster.
