" HE eleventh annual exhibition OF
the Capital Camera Club, which
J. will be opened to the public at the
Hemicycle Hall OF the Corcoran
Art Gallery on Wednesday, May Z, will
furnish some surprises to those who have
watched the progress of the club and the
attainments of the different members as
evidenced BIZ former exhibitions.
In this exhibition it will be noticed that
new exhibitors are occupying prominent
places, and that many favorites of former
years have dropped behind their usual
average. a sure indication that the stand
ard of admission of this year has been
unusually exacting, and that there is no
secure position in exhibition matters. The
laurels of former years are soon faded
new exhibitors are finding the bonored
places, and the lesson is plainly pointed
out that past achievements are not Sc
cure.
The exhibition of this year contains 200
prints. of which twenty y-eight have been
selected on account of their conspicuous
merit for class special.
The selection of the prints for exhibition
by jury composed entirely Of artists is
decided innovation in a Photographic
exhibition, and the test has been severe
one. Out Of the prints submitted fully
GO per cent were rejected. not for the rea-
son that they were lacking in technical
merit, but for the reason that to the jury
of artists they did not show sufficient ar
tistic merit to warrant their acceptance
for an exhibition in the Corcoran Gallery,
a place where pictures are hung because
they are pictures-not because they repre-
sent the skill of an exact science.

By RICHARD N. BROOKE.

The highest aim Of pictorial art, as
practiced by painters: is to interpret.
not initiate. Interpretation is art.
Hence IL follows that If pho
Biography, which in its beginning
was essentially initiative and mechan-
ical, is seeking place besiq pic
torial art, the best judges of its at
tainments in that direction are the
painters, who by practice and ira
dition are most familiar with the
standards of pictorial art.

Artists as Judges.

Among photographers there are varying
opinions as TO the propriety Of the selec-
tion of exhibition pictures by a jury Of
artists. The most progressive fully in
dorse an artist jury, there arc some who
believe that photography is wholly me-
chanical product and that skilled photo
graphers should be the only judges. There
are others who claim that Pic, ography is
a fine art, but OF such different aims that
none but themselves can interpret II, and
that artists do not comprehend it, and
therefore as a Jury of selection are not

"Goodw said Michael Srogof to him
self. "If these gypsies do not wish to
be understood when they speak before
me, they had better use some other Ian
guage."
From his Siberian origin and because
he had passed his childhood in the
steppes Michael Strogofr, 1t has been
said, understood almost all the Ian
guages in usage from Tartary to the
Sea Of Ice. AS to the exact signif1ca-
ton Of the words exchanged between
the gypsy and his companion he did
not trouble his head, For why should
it interest him?
An hour after Michael Strogofr was
sleeping soundly on one of those Rus
sian beds which always seem so hard
to strangers, and on the morrow, the
18th of July, he awoke at break Of day.
He had still five hours to pass at
Mini Novgorod. 1t seemed to him an
age. How was he to spend the morn
ing unless in wandering, as he had
done the evening before, through the
streets? BY the time he had finished
his breakfast. strapped up his bag. had
his podorojna inspected at the police
Office, ne would have nothing to do but
start. But he was not man to lie in bed
after the sun had risen, SO he rose, dress
ed himself and placed the letter with
the imperial arms on it carefully at the
bottom of its usual pocket within the
lining Of his coat, over which he fasten-
ed his belt. He then closed his bag and
threw it over his shoulder.
This done, he had no wish to return
to the City Of Constantinople, and, in
tending to breakfast on the bank of the
Volga near the wharf, he settled his
bill and left the inn. BY the way Of
precaution Michael Strogoff went first
to the Office of the steam packet COM
pany and there made sure that the
Caucasus would start at the appointed
hour. AS he did so the thought for the
first time struck him that since the
young Livonian girl was going to Perm
1t was very possible that her intention
was also to embark in the Caucasus, in
which case he should accompany her.
Michael Strogoff found himself in the
central square when the report spread
that the head of police had been sum-
governor general. An important dis
patch from Moscow, it was said, was
the cause of it.
1.-THE fair is to be closed" said one.

shouted on every side. A loud clapping
of hands was suddenly raised, which
subsidized by degrees and finally was
succeeded by absolute silence. The
head Of police arrived in the middle of
the central square, and 1t was seen by
all that he held in his hand a dispatch.
Then in loud voice he read the fol
lowing announcements:
"By order of the governor of Mini
Novgorod:
"All Russian subjects are forbidden
to quit the province upon any pretext
whatsoever.
"All strangers Of Asiatic origin are
commanded to leave the province with

An Explanation Requested.

The late John W. Bailey, managins
editor of the Philadelphia Record, had
a large fund of stories and anecdotes
concerning typesetters' mistakes. As
is generally known, his career on
the Record began in the composin,

he was raised into the executive

time of his recent death. One even.

staff was looking through his proofs
and grumbling at the arbitrary divis-
ions Of words made by the typesetters,
Mr.. Bailey told Of comp" who once
divided the word horses making
a syllable of "hor" and driving "ses"
into the next line. The proof reader,
Of course, marked Horses" to be Put

marked proof reached the typesettcr

after explaining the circumstances,
declared himself as follows:

ERUPTION,

Some OF the phenomena attending
the destruction Of St. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet of flarne that seems to have
accompanied Or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas
Prof. Verrill CT Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation Of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud.
denly into contact with the lava In the
crater, and that in the case Of sea
water chloride would be ASSOCIATED
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on 80 great q
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud.
den explosion of q vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this &C.
counts for the sudden burning Of flesh
and clothes, as we'll as Of buildings
and Of vessels In the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
OF the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex-
DlOsion.
