Duse and al Fuoco."

DuSS ana II u0cO.
Duse's delayed tour of the United
States is now announced for the early
winter of l9O2-1903, and her managers
state that among the number Of PLAYS
by L'Annunzin she will produce
dramatiZation of his novel "ll Fuoco,"
of which she herself was heroine.
Whether this is managerial fc.
tion, or whether the prosecuted act-
ress actually intends to resort to this
extreme measure of self defense, re.
mains to be seen. If she actually pro.
duces the play, her action will surpasS
anything in the history Of feminine
psychology, or the most morbid per-
version of D'Annunzio's pen.
How she can do it is question
which need perplex no astonished
American; for how he could have writ
ten the novel at all, or how she could
have permitted herself TO live after
he had done so, are questions quite as
unanswerable to psople on this side Of
the Atlantic.
The book is study of two people;
the authors rosy and highly flattering
view Of himself, his own power and
gifts, and his brutal and shameless
analysis Of the emotions of the wO-
man whom he claims gave up her en-
tire life to him until he was weary of
accepting her devotion.
For any man to sit down and set
about computing on paper how great
ly and in what manner woman had
cared for him, giving even the number
Of her house in Venice. lest the public
should make any mistake, is bad
enough proposition; but "Il Fuoco"
goes great deal further than that.
1t is shameless sale Of confidence Of
the most sacred kind for money, a saw
age and shameless attack upon a wO-
man who is still living and who is i'll
and unhappy.
Her age and physical infirmities are
mentioned by the gentleman in COM
parison with his own splendid youth
and resplendent beauty. The reptil-
ian nature of the man as disclosed by
his book has set up a bitter revolt
against him in Italy where Signora
Duse is deeply beloved. and many Of
his cOuntrymen have sent him threat
ening letters. II he should eser be
rash enough to visit England il is
doubtful whether he would ever get
out without a horsewhipping. for as
likely as not some country squire who
had never heard Duse at all would
take pleasure in paying up humanity's
score against D'AnnunziU with his
fists. There have been men without
any sense of honor before in the world,
but surely no man has ever been able
to make such a mastery presentation
Of his destitution.
I'll Fuoco." considered merely as
literature, takes a high rank among
modern novels. Even from French
translation Of it one is able to gather
that the man, always gifted with a
superb power Of language, has never
fitted phrases together more melodi-
ously. and in the Italian tongue the
novel must approach as near to poetry
as prose safely can.
The plot is concerned with love
affair between an actress and nov
elist. in which the woman is consid
erably more than half the wooer. The
scene is laid in Venice, and the city
with its dark and stirring past, it
present decrepitude and decay, are
used to cleverly emphasize the picture

Rodin's Victor Hugo.

Auguste Robins contribution to
the salon this year is an unfinished
statue OF Victor Hugo. The statue is
Of heroic proportions and full length.
representing the poet lying nude on
the rocks, his leonine head supported
on his hand.
The enemies Of the sculptor, and
they are many and scurrilOus, declare
that the effect produced by taking
modern man OF letters and politician
out OF his frpck- coat and trousers and
stretching him. Greek fashion. on the
rocks is ludicrously shocking and alb
surd. Photographs Of the work, how
ever, lead one to believe that it is
quite the most remarkable of all the
many noble things ROdin has done.
Seemingly he has achieved the impos.
sible by treating a modern subject in
the antique heroic manner with per-
feet success.
The figure is one of superb dignity,
and might be mistaken for a resting
Hercules. The idea in itself seems
ridiculous enough; for who could i'm
agine Wagner or Daudet treated iu
this unclothed manner by anyone save
a malicious cartoonist? That Rodin
has been able to do it with sublime
seriousness in Hugo's case is pure
triumph Of bis genius. No other
treatment could have been so noble,
yet it is to be hoped that Robins imi-
tators will not repeat this new note
in portrait statuary and give US
George Sand as wood nymph or Al
fred de Musset as weeping Orpheus.

Train News Boys.

Train News Boys.
1t often happens that an order Of
things devised for public convenience
becomes public annoyance and must
be dispensed with. The Burlington
road realized that train newsboys had
ceased to accommodate its patrons in
sufficient measure to warrant their
existence, and consequently has made
other arrangements to supply its pa
irons with news.
News vending indeed had become
one OF the least of the train-boy's

A Fore Runner.

1t is rather strange, when one comes
to think of it, now that the eyes Of all
the world are turned upon Asia and
the nations of the Orient, that the
man who most nearly speaks the voice
of the people and the spirit Of the
times first called our attention to the
old East ten or twelve years ago. Rud.
yard Kipling set the song Of the east
humming in million brains, and
long before he knew that bungalows
and punkahs would ever figure in
government expense bills, We began
to use the names of them. Before
Kipling's day we knew as little about
the mixed religions and mixed nations
Of the Orient as we knew about the
etiquette of Thibet, and cared as lit
tie.
There once lived a very subtle critic
in England who declared that life i'm
itates art to much greater extent
than art initiates life. At any rate, l
should like to know how many of the
men who boarded the transport for
the Filipines were repeating ''On the
Road to Mandalay" under their breath.
Whatever Indifferent work Mr..
Kiplirg may have done in the last
five years, and whether he is liter
ary artist or no, he is certainly the
genius Of the times, the man who
speaks and prophetically foretold the
spirit of the hour; the passing Of old
orders, the expansion Of the white
races, the passion for machinery aud
perfected system, the stroke for con.
quest and the renaissance of the spirit
Of war. He preceded by about ten
years everything we are doing and
thinking today. That is what the
tribe singer, the original poet, did in
the days before literary art or any
wearisome theories about it had come
into being, when the poet sang to his
people of the things he knew that
they would do, and told them where
the fishing was good and where the
bucks were fat, and Of treasures that
might be easily wrested from men on
the other side of the mountain.

Forms of Food Adu1teration.


DIR. II. w. Wiley, chief of the divis.
ion Of chemistry at Washington, con-
tributed a valuable article on food
adulteratioD to a recent number Of
Lesl;e's Weekly. He takes up the sub
ject apropos of the wholesale poison
ing which occurred in the middle dis
tricts of England last fall from the
presence Of arsenic in beer. The
fermentation of cheap beer had been
produced by grape sugar, and this
grape sugar had been converted from
the starch of the potato by the use Of
sulphuric acid. Iron pyrites had
been used in the manufacture Of the
acid and this pyrites had contained
arsenic.
DIR. Wiley states that some of the
most dangerous adulterations are
made to preserve the color Of canned
foods and preparations for long dis
tance alimentation. The color of
canned peas and beans is often pre-
served by copper. and cOloring matter
is commonly used to preserve the col.
or of canned meats and sausages.
While this is not always of harmful
nature, he urges that manufacturers
be compelled to state on the cover Of
the can just what chemicals and in
what quantity have been used in the
preparation Of the article. He calls
attention not so much to those violent
forms Of poisoning which produce i'm.
mediate sickness or death, as to the
slower and more insidious, harmful
elements in food which are added to
preserve color or cheaper the cost Of
packing and preserving the article,
and which slowly impair the organs
OF the body and unfit them for their
natural functions.
