HODORS FOR Our ARTISTS
Gold Medals Won at the Exposition
by American Painters.
Six Successful Men and One Woman
No Landscape Painters Among
Painted - Importance of Trained
Experts in the Customs Service.

The good news comes from Paris that
more gold medals and other honors have
been awarded American artists at the Ex-
position than to any other nation save
France. This is a mighty achievement.
when one remembers that only a short
twenty-five years ago art in America was
of such a feeble indigenous character that
with very few exceptions the work of
American artists was not taken seriously
abroad, much less was it in competition
for the worlds highest and most exclusive
laurels.
This year America receives seven medals
against four received at the Exposition of
1889. At that time. too, those artists who
received the gold medals lived in Paris.
This year five Of the paintings are by
artists living in the United States. The
successful ones are Messrs. Alexander,
Paris; E. A. Abbey. London; Winslow
Homer, Abbott Thayer, George de Forest
Brush, William NJ. Chase, and Miss Cecilia
Beaux
The names OF Sargent and Whistler
might be added to the list of Americans
for they also received such awards, but
It seems they have been credited to Eng
Land. Probably they exhibited in the Eng
iish section, while Abbey, who is as much
a Loudoner rs Sargent, having spent as
many years in the English capital as that
great American portrait painter. doubt
less preferred TO exhibit and be classed
with the Americans.
1t is notable fact, and one Just little
mysterious, that of the many landscape
painters represented in the American sec

Twachtrnan, the great New York land
scape painter and teacher, speaking of the
danger of seeing greens too pure, SAYS:
when you paint green try not SO much
TO match the green OF the grass as TO con-
slider it in its relation to the sky and other
parts. Mr.. Wier once said when painting
at Fontainebleau, that as he finished his
sketch he suddenly discovered his picture
was the only green thing to be SEEN"
Therein is the whole secret. The look of
the woods was doubtless at first sight
very green. but green paint which was per-
haps good match for any weed Mr.. Wier
might have plucked from the mass at his
feet was not a match for ii the moment
That same weed was some distance from
him and a part Of the Landscape he was
painting. When green trees and grass

the memory. No: green was not the beauty
of the scene as Corot saw 1t. To him there
were certain silvery harmonies or black

Star Gazing EXPENSIVE
Enormous Sums Spent in the
Worlds Greatest Telescopes.
Dimensions of the Instrument at
the Paris EaHosition-The Moon
Brought Within Thirty-nve Miles
of the Enrth-A Remarkable Re-
nector Constructed in Ireland.

Astronomy has rightly been described as
the most fascinating of sciences, but it is
equally true that 1t is the most expensive.
Indeed, millions are spent every year in the
erection OF telescopes both large and
small, and the bill for maintaining our
great obseryatories throughout the world
would exhaust the banking account Of
many millionaires.
The largest telescop. ever made is that
low in the Paris Exposition. In many ways
it is a remarkable instrument, and from
an astronomical point of view very inter-
estins. The telescope proper is fixed in e
horizontal position. and instead Of being
pointed directly to the sky is pointed at
mirror in which the sky is reflected.
The tube in this mammoth telescope is
about 100 fee: in length. 1t is made up OF
twenty-four different sections. which look
for all the world like the sections of big
water pipe The diameter lof the tube is
about five feet 1t weighs about twenty
one tons.
The frame which holds the mirror weighs
nearly three tons. and when the mirror is
in place frame and glass together turn the
scale at nearly seven tons. The mirror
measures six and one-half feet in diameter
To make this giant mirror special fur
mace and oven were built, the latter ca
pable Of containing twenty-one tons OF
molten glass. When the liquid glass was
turned out from the oven it took over
month to cool. Twenty-one discs were
cast, but only two turned out satisfactorily.
The lenses in this giant telescope weigh
about half ton and cost Sit, COO each.
Brings the Moon Near.
The celestial objects reflected by this
instrument are thrown onto a screen thirty
feet in height. so that spectators to the
Exposition may easily see them. The tele-
scope is so powerful that 1t brings the
moon to within about thirty-fve miles Ct
the earth What this telescope has cost to
erect it is hard to know; some estimate il
at s5O0,Ooc while others say 1t cost more.
Next to the Partisan telescope. the Yerkes
ranks next In size. II Is undoubtedly n
much superior and more costly instru-
ment than that now at Paris. 1t was
erected at a cost OF $1,000, 900, and when
built was considered marvel of ingenuity |
and skill. Its object glass is forty inches |
in diameter. The tube Itself Is sixty-fou- |
feet long. and is made of steel. II weighs |

Government should employ only experts of

there is a single clerical position in the
