MAKING A CARTOON.
Modern Caricature "A Composite Pro-
dmction With Many Elements.

Modern Caricature a Composite Pro-
dWction With Many Elements.
Few people who are not directly
concerned in it's making ever realize
how essentially the modern caricature
is composite production. Take, for
example, the big. double-page cartoon
which has become such familiar
weekly feature in Puck and Judge,
with its complicated group of figures,
its suggestive background, its multi
tude of clever minor points; the germ
idea has been picked out from per-
haps a dozen others. as the result of
careful elaboration, and from the
starting point the whole design has
been built up, detail by detail, repre-
senting the joint cleverness of the en-
tire editorial staff. But the collabora-
tion reaches further back than this.
A political cartoon resembles in way
a composite photograph which embod-
les notmerely the superimposedfe features
of the men who sat before the camera,
but something also of the countless
generations before them who have
made their features what they are by
transmitting from father to son some
thing of their own personality. In
the same way. the political cartoon Of
to-day is the product OF n gradual evo-
luton mirroring back TIE familiar
features of many a cartoon of the past.
1t Is not merely an embodiment of the
ideas OF the satirists who suggested
II and the artist who drew 1t. but
also of many a traditional and stereo-
typed symbol, bequeathed from genera
ton to generation by artists dead and
gone The very essence OF pictorial
satire. its alpha and omega. so to
speak, is symbolism, the use OF certain
established types, conventional per-
sonifieations OF Peace and War. Death
and Famine and Disease. Father
Time with his scythe. the Old Year and
the New; the Russian Bear, the British
Lion and the American Eagle: Uncle
Sam and Columbia. Britannia and
John Bull. These figures, as we have
them to-day, cannot point to any one
creator. They are not an inspiration
of the moment. a stroke OF genius,
like Daumier's "Macaire" or Travies'
"Mayeux." They are the product OF
century of evolution. a gradual sur
vival of the fittest. resulting from the
unconscious natural selection OF popu-

sighing Is Caused hr worrring.

Signing is but another name for oxy
gen starvation. The cause of signing
IS most frequently worry. An interval
Of several seconds often follows mo-
ments of mental disquietude, during
which time the chest walls remain
rigid until the imperious demand is
made for oxygen, thus causing the
deep inhalation. 1t is the expiration
following the inspiration that is prop
erly termed the sigh. and the sigh is
simply an effort Of the organism TO OBJ
tain the necessary supply OF oxygen.
The remedy Is to cease worrying One

rational reason for worrying. A little
philosophy will Danish worry at once.
