PROF. FENoLLosA's LECTURE.
Universal Laws Of Structure in Art
and How to Teach Them.

The universal laws of structure in art
and the way to teach them in modern art
education formed the theme of the fourth
lecture Of Prof. Ernest F. Fenollosa at the
Washington Club last night. The lecturer
showed side by side the methods of the an
cient and modern artists compared with
the orientals. He spoke of the similarity
of the ground work of each and of the
identical methods. In the first part Of the
lecture Prof. Fenollosa showed a number OF
methods Of structure on plain lines. He
said that it was not generally known that
children Of all nations up to a certain age
possess the art feeling and are able to pro-
duce certain effects from the most primary
artistic causes. AS the child grows his or
her environment has its effect and destroys
this natural feeling.
The principal part Of the lecture was de-
voted to showing how the same methods
prevail In the oriental as with the Euro
pean. Specimens of japanese and European
art of several periods were shown to Illus
trate the statements Of the lecturer. He
endeavored to demonstrate that the Euro
pean artists have departed from the origi-
mai Of true art and have built a poor struc-
ture. while the orientals have been progress
ing always.
The next lecture will be given Thursday
|. night and will deal with japanese lyric
drama and its origin from the early Shinto
ritual. This lecture will be Illustrated
simultaneously with slides from two Ian
terms

SNAKE EXPERTS WANTED.
Applicants Before the Civil Service
Commission.

An examination was held at the civil
service commissions rooms yesterday for
experts in the habits of snakes to be en-
lloyed at the National Museum. Six appli-
cants presented themselves for examination
and the civil service officials were at loss
to know how to examine them. A sug
gestion was made by one Of the examiners
that a consignment Of snakes be obtained
from local bird and animal dealer and
turned loose for the applicants to catch.
Several Of those in charge OF the examina-
ton were Of the opinion that the man who
caught the most Shakes ought to have the
position. while others were of the opinion
that the man who handled the reptiles most
dexterously should have the job. 1t was de-
cfded finally that the civil service officials
should take sworn statements of the ability
of each Of the applicants to handle all sorts
Of snakes and their experience In such
work. These statements will be flied with
the papers relating to the other, qualifica-
lions called for and referred to the officials
of the National Museum when 1t Is desired
to make an appointment

practice of certain coal dealers selling can
mel coal at the rate Of 1900 pounds to the
ton. This coal Is purchased by dealers
at 1000 pounds to the tom says Mr.. Has
kell, land they in turn retail 1t in the same
manner, claiming, however, that the pur-
chasers are receiving 1900 pounds. and not
a ton. This is misleading, and is not sat
isfactory to, the consumers, and there is
also a question in our minds as to the le
gality Of such procedure under section 2
Webbs Digest, as follows:
All coal sold In the city shall be sold
by weight. at the rate Of 2 80 pounds avoir-
dupois to the ton
line purchaser or consumer orders ton
Of coal and receives from the dealer 1900
pounds. The dealers make the point that
they are selling by weight in accordance
with the provisions of the section above re-
ferred to. It does not appear that they
mtsrepresent the amount delivered, as the
net weight shown by the certificate is not
greater than the amount delivered, 1900
pounds, as provided in sections II and Is of
