was 1T first quiet and reserved Lut when tL-
real nature Of his visitors crraud was made
known he at once changed his whole manner

war. Something that the Nermouter said
touched him deeply. and rising To his fun height,
and raising aIoft his long arm, d, exclaimed:

constructed the new engine is Dugald Drum
mond, Of the London and Southwestern Rail
way.
The general arrangement Of this novelty is
easily understood. AS in the ordinary engine,
the fireboX is in the rear and the smokestack
out in front. The boiler is composed Of two
horizontal steel cylinders. one inside Of and
little smaller than the other. The fire passes
through the inner shell. across which run
large number Of pipes containing water Most
Of the space between the outer and inner shells
is filed with that fuiG, and the pipes afford
free communication from one side to the other.
The tubes not horizontal but run slantwise.
There are two sets which. if seen from the end
OF the boiler, like the arms Of a low N;t
Y. Thus the water in them has chance 10 rise
a little when heated. and a brisk circulation is
kept up between the lower left hand and upper
right hand side and the lower right and upper
left hand side Of the boiler simultaneously.

into actual service. ana has shown that il viii

The pianist stood aghast What had he doneq
He could not imagine in the fafntest degree
lie almost Frustrated himself before the poten-
tate in the humility of his apology-Russian
justice is a baleful picture to people of other
nations. He assured the commissioner that he
mad done his utmost to please; that any failure
on his part was absolutely unintentionaI. and
that he could not conceive in what important
point he had been SO wofully lacking
"Wofully lacking? Why. sir you failed to
perform the most important number on your
programme! You advertised a Cuban Dance
SIR, and the people have come from miles around
because of that advertisement. And, sir, you
did not dance! No, sir you did not dancer
Mr.. Bauer had a bad quarter Of an hour with
the explanation as to why he did not dance, and
the police commissioner finally went away with
out taking the pianist into custody.

Concerning the exhibit by Gervex, he savs:
Gervex exhibits three portraits. Of which the
hneSt Is th&t OF Mrs. Charles Carroll which has
almost the deliCacy Of touch of the old English
masters. y broad, gray felt hat. with pink trim
mlnSs and sweeping black ostrich feather sets
on the dark hair and eyes. The low cut white
dress reveals a finely modelled neck. the glow Of
which contrasts with the sable boa thrown
loosely over the shoulders. on the right shOul-
der there is a rose COlOred bow. There is ami
nation of expression, and the color scheme is
adrolt!y handled Altogether this in its way is
the hnoSt and most distinguished picture that
G"rVeN has ever painted.
This is his criticism concerning the third pict-
ure from fne Salon, which The Tribune pub
fishes in this issue.
Nine Claude MarIef exhibits a pleasing pastel
portrait Of herself in warm colors tn. light and
atmosphere being effectively rendered IL is a
clever work highly spoken of by the Partisan

EXPECTED THE PIANIST TO DANCE
Az EXPERIENCE OF HAROLD BAUER IN
a RUSSIAN TOWN.

a RUSSIAN TOWN.
Harold Bauer, the pianist, who has spent the
season in this country giving concerts has had
some queer adventures in the course of his
travels. He tells with special zest how he mar
rowly escaped arrest in a remote little Russian
steppe town where he gave concert several
y-ars ago. He sent his programme in ad-
vance and when he arrived in the town him
se.f he was surprised 10 see on the posters with
which the place was decorated one number
printed in large black type much larger than
the rest It was Cuban Dance" by some
body OF other little piece of not much moment
Ilt in as concession TO the popular taste. He
had never thought much Of It, and was puzzled
that the local manager should feature il: but
u was the Russian way, he concluded and put
-hs matter from his mind The country people
thIonged TO The concert from miles around, and
there was an air Of caSer expectation when tho
performance began. though Mr Bauer noticed
that The first numbers failed to make much i'm
preston. Then came the Cuban Dance" At
us dose there was evidently something wrong.
The fall in the temperature was unmistakable:
people looked at each other in evident disap-
pointment and anger; there was a murInur
through the house; many got up and went out.
The pianist was much puzzled and was quite
unable TO account for it by any failure in his
laying. But he went on, and to the evident
great dissatisfaction OF the audience finished his
Irogramme.
Hardly had he reached the greeuroom fIvm
the platform when there came a sharp knock On
The door. The local police commissioner WAS
announced. Mr. Bauer bowed low at the unex-
