E71 AsHINGTON, Nov. 25.-(special
WI Correspondence of The Bee.)-
Perhaps the most universally in
ISSEHSh teresting "free book" ever pub
lshed, containing over 500 pages
and nearly 200 illustrations, has just been
issued by the national government for gen
oral distribution to the American people
through their congressman. THE Peoples
own Book" indeed, would be a truer title
than the enc it bears-"Annual Report of
the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian
Institution"-but although the name is not
exactly eloquent with promise, yet the
same volume in the hands of corps of
energetic book agents would probably find
its way into the libraries of a goodly pro-
portion of American homes
The new repOrt-always an event in
Washington scientific bridesmaids the
beginning of a new century for the Smith
sonian institution and is the latest and
most comprehensive expression of its two,
fold purpose of increasing learning and
diffusing knowledge among men. The first
purpose applies to readers already inter
ested in technically scientific matters; the
second is distinctly popular, appealing di-
rectly to the far larger class whose interest
is general rather than technical. Science
in these days is a large field, and aside
from the reports of the various great de,
partments that have grown up under the
protection of the Smithsonian, the volume
is practically a library of modern progress
during the last year, ranging from popular
magazine articles on automobiles and auto,
mobile racing, the aerial experiments of
SantCs-DumOnt, or the epoch making dis
covery of wireless telegraphy, to expert
analysis of such technical subjects as re-
cont Investigations into gravitation or the
discussion of bodies smaller than atoms.
But what is the Smithsonian? The name
is familiar enough, but-perhaps for that
very TeasOn-the meaning and purposes OF
an institution established by the United
States government and therefore one in
which every citizen has or ought to have
a personal interest are rather hazy in the
minds of a good many among its millions
Of proprietors. And this despite the fact
that it has made Washington the center
of a scientific correspondence that covers
the whole civilized world and that the
National Museum at Washington, supported
by the government but managed by the
Smithsonian, is yearly visited by over 25O,.
600 sightseers.
In 1929, James SmithsOn, an Englishman
died in Genoa, leaving his entire estate

Smithsonian institute, an establishment

tains some fifty arti-
cles, many of them
fIom popular as well
as scientific magazines
and periodicals, nearly
all profusely illus
trated with pictures,
ranging from a COM
parison of the largest
and smallest eggs TO
the final scene in a
great French automo-
bile race. The aver
age reader has seen
"profusely illustrated"
volumes in which the
illustrations consisted
of a frontispiece and a
decorated capital, but
in this case the eX-
preston embraces no
less than 179 illustra-
tiOns, some of them
beautiful examples Of
the modern art of
color printing. Knowl-
edge, that is to say,
is taken in it's broad
est sense, and modern
intelligence, as repre-
sented by the ordinar-
lily well informed in
dividual, is credited
with an interest sufi-
ciently diversified to
include not only the
latest development of
the submarine boat,
but also the peoples
that once inhabited
our continent, the pos
sible improvement OF
the human race under
existing conditions, the
result of a century's 3
study of meteorites
or an essay on the i'm
pOrtance of the sea in
the life of nations.
One of the more pop
ular articles, for eX-
ample, is a study OF
the National zoo by
Ernest Thompson Sc
ton, which is reprinted
from a leading maga 5
zine, accompanied by

trations from the brush

edge among men"
This fortune amounted
to between 100000 and
$750,0O0, a large sum
in the period before
the war, but the trust
was accepted by con-
gress only after an in
termittent ten years
debate of the ques-
tion: Should or should
not the United States
government accept the
unprecedented position
of a guardian TO a
ward? Fortunately the
answer was affirmative,
and an act of con-
gress created an "es-
tablishment" consist
ing of high govern
ment officers to ad-
minister the Smith
son fund for the
benefit of science the
world over. The pos
sible activities of the
institution are there
fore limitless. It's
board of regents" as
they are called, form
perhaps the best con-
Meeting link in the
world between capital
seeking a wise avenue
of benevOlence and
science handicapped by
lack of money to
carry on its thousand
and one special in
vCstigationS. Even
where the institution
cannot directly over
see scientific expendi-
ture, its authoritative
position is in itself a
guaranty of wise sug-
gestions and advice,
whether to the donor
or to the scientist
himself. "The rela-
tiOns of the general
government to the
Smithsonian" to quote
apTopos of this point,
from it's latest volume,
"are most eXtraordi-
nary, one may even
say unique, since the
United States SOL
emily bound itself to
the administration of
a trust. Probably
never before has any
ward found so power
full a guardian" The
trust" is obviously

ROSA BoNHEUR's BEATH.

The Last Pleasure That the Great Ar
list Experienced In Llto,
In Harpers Magazine Jules Claretie
relates a pathetic incident attendant
on the death Of Rosa Bonheur whose
friend and critic he had been for many
years.
1T was while visiting Paris, during
q rainy spell, and after having rashly
taken an open carriage from her house
to tho station, that the artist caught
cold" says NJ, Claretie, "and on ar
rlylng at by went to bed, never to
rise again, One might well have naid
that Rosa Bonhour was made for the
country, for the peasantry, and for the
animals, and that she should never
have left them even for day, AT
all events, she came back TO die
among them, and sweetly, Without
complaint, resigned and resolute, just
as she had lived through 30 many
years Of hard work, II was my mourn
ful consolation to be able TO give my
beloved friend her last pleasure, |
had written In the Journal apropos Of
the medal of honor which the Salon
jury wished to give her only they
knew she would have refused II, Into
this article | put all my admiration for
the artist, all my respect for the wom-
an, was ignorant of tho fact that
having been imprudent enough to
brave the cold at Paris, Rosa Bonheur
had returned TO BY sick. What say
/? Sick All she was lost, the VIC
tim Of pulmonary congestion.
"She could no longer speak when
the paper was brought to her, But the
faithful servant, perceiving the name
of Mile. Rosa on the page, sat down
by her pillow and read the article in
n loud voice. The dying woman shook
her head, and her lips parted In n last
wan smile, which seemed to express
thanks. This was In the morning
Gradually her vision grew clouded
That evening she was dead,
"And now | dedicate, as a new crown
or chaplet for the monument erected
in honor Of Rosa Bonheur, these few
pages of souvenirs-souvenirs OF the
affection with which she honored me
and Of conversations far too short,

elevated OF spirits, one Of the artists
most unrvaled, and certain to remain
illustrious in the future, whom It has

He was first elected to the forty eighth
Congress, and with the exception of
the fiftieth Congress, has served con-
tlnuously ever since.
Mr.. Payne Is the leader Of his party
on the floor Of the House. As chair
man Of the Committee on Ways and
Means, which Is by far the most i'm
portant committee In the House, he Is
overwhelmed with public business of
every conceivable character.
There Is TO be no tariff revision at
this session OF Congress- says Mr..
Payne, and, in fact, the concensus Of
opinion amongst Republicans, so far
as / have been able to learn, is that
we are getting along as well as posi-
BILE, and lt certainly would not be wise
to tinker with the schedules.
Il am strongly opposed to the Bah
cock bill for the reduction of duty on
certain iron and steel products, and
on general principles would fight any
attempt at piece-menl tariff leglsla-
ton"
Mr.. Payne believes that there will be
provision made for the Nicaragua
canal at this session, II the treaty is
satisfactory, and IL so he will favor
it.
II have noticed no chance in the
sentiment Of leading Republicans on
the trust question: he says "rhe Re,

through the house at the last session
that went as far as the Constitution
would permit
Mr.. Payne expects an extremely busy
session. and one lasting well up into
July or August.

And will have as bridesmaids her sis

This is favorite expression with

their goods are not always good. Meth
er have they a right at all times

orally are in the trust. Trusts know
the advantage Of advertising their
goods as mot in the trust" It helps
them to sell an inferior article that

People in the United States who arc
grumbling about high taxes should
find much consolation in the knowl-
edge that their property Is not situated
in any OF the European capitals. In
Berlin, for example, the great Ameri-
can life insurance companies are re-
uulrod to invest certain portion Of
their assets in city property, and their
taxes, which are no higher than those
of other real estate owners, amount
annually to moro than one-thlrd OF
their receipts from rentals In Vienna
taxes are even higher. The man who
owns the building in which the Amerl-
can legation is located divides the rent
with the government in equal shares.

European cities.
