lively little progress was made today In
the federal investigation of the alleged

Banking interests in which the
Moores are especially prominent have
been heavy buyers CT Louisville and

is said TO have called loans this week
so as to accumulate The mone- for its
purchases of Louisville stock. Wall
street believes that some sort of u
community of interests deal between
Rock Island and the Southern railway
will follow the change in Louisville and
Nashville ownership.
The Evening Post, discussing the sit
nation In Louisville and Nashville says:
"All indications seem TO point to the fact
that the control of the Louisville and
Nashville railway is now so held that
it can be turned over to the Rock Island
railway. The matter had not been de-
termined at the close Of business today,
and facts are as. lacking as they have
been since the excitement in Louisville
and Nashville shares began some days
ago. Opinion in Wall street is in
nebulous condition as to who now con-
trolls the company. There appears to be
good foundation for opinion that Mr..
Gates may now be in a position. by
throwing his stock one way or the
other, to decide what interest shall
hereafter control Louisville and Nash

statement sent out by the Associated

dash at a train bringing Governor Ay-

Mrs. b. had come into possession of n

back to the bird without noticing it,
and as Polly made no sound she re
mained in ignorance of its presence.
Observing a beautiful vase on the
mantel, Mrs. A. arose from her seat
and, crossing the floor, took down the
dainty piece of bric-a-brac TO examine
it. She gazed on it rapturously, COM
pletely absorbed by its elegant decora-
tions, when suddenly from just behind
her came the shrill and stern COM
mand:

Mrs. A. obeyed and turned, with a
scream, to face the imperturbable gaze
OF Polly. who sat in her cage with her
green head sSly perked to one side. On
the floor lay the beautiful vase smash

A FAMOUS PAINTING.
One Figure In n Japanese Picture
visible only at Night.

Visible Only at Might.
Some Of the finest Japanese paint
ings in Washington are in the legation
building Of that nation, the Japanese
emba ssador being a collector and con
noisseur OF the art Of his native land.
The japanese style of painting is alto
gether unlike that Of + -ope and
America, and the reason. apanese
painters are able to produce color eff
fects that are the despair Yf Euro
pean and American artists is owing to
the pigments they use, a large number
of which are secret and unknown out
side OF Japan.
In Japan there Ia a very famous
painting which no amount of money
could buy and which is the master
piece OF famous artist who lived
several centuries ago. Viewing the
painting In the daytime. one is disap-
pointed. II shows nothing more than
a very commonplace landscape. unre-
lieved by mountains or hills. AS soon,
however, as night falls one begins TO
realize the peculiar merit of the pic
ture. for upon the canvas there ap-
pears a luminous water buffalo (cari-
bou) browsing upon the grass at its
feet
The artist who painted this picture
discovered certain phosphorescent
paint, which he obtained from the bod
les Of certain mOllusks. or fish, and
with which he painted the buffalo that,
invisible in daylight. is luminously
brilliant in the dark. The secret OF
making this paint died with the artist.
The picture, which hangs in a Bud
dhist temple, has proved a fertile source
OF superstition, the priests claiming that
the buffalo hides away in the shade
behind some trees in the picture dur

BUSINESS AMERICAN ART.
Not Mathematics, but Matter of
Creative Imagination.

Creative Imagination.
"The idea OF business in country
that has reached the height Of its de-
velopment is a dry as dust affair."" says
Hutchns Hapgood in Ainslee's. "It IL
the miserable system of keeping what
one has, system in which the temper
ament and the imagination do not play
q part. The American, however, puts
Imagination into business. Business Is
the art of this country. To the Ameri-
can OF affairs there are in his work ex-
element, charm and color. To him II Is
not a matter of mathematics, but of
the creative Imagination. Great proc
esses. great inventions, great corpora
tiOns-the orga niZatlon of such things
requires genius.
Nobody is stupider more avaricious
and more economical In a small way
than French peasant or a German
hausfrau Nobody is less avaricious
and more economical in big way than
a great American inventor. fnancier
or business man. Through his brains
production becomes cheaper and conse-
quently more abundant, and more good
to the common people thereby accrues
than by all the small savings ever made
since civilization began. II is better TO
be able TO make than to save. and to
make much a large outlay in money,
energy and brains is necessary. To
save pennies is a sign OF commercial
incompetence and national decline.
"When an individual or a nation be-
gins a system of housekeeping on a
small scale, II is a sign that the life
blood is ebbing. Old people, drier and
less resourceful than young people, are
VIGOROUSLY more economical. They. like
old nations want to hang on to what
they have rather than strive for more.
The wisdom OF the French peasant
consists in keeping down his expendi'
ture and the size Of his family to a
point where the nation as whole is
weakened. As Bacon said, He that
hath a state TO repair may not despise
small things and perhaps the decay OF
the country is the cause rather than
the effect OF French economy. Anyway
the two things hang closely together"
