shortcomings Of these new antipyretics

Decline of Oriental Art

Inc Nation.
The future historian Of eastern culture
will have somewhat melancholy chapter
to write on the decline and fall of oriental
art. He will show how the western nations
among whom machine work had DESTROYED
handicraft, filled the east with brummagem
manufactures He will explain how the
west dealt the east a still more crippling
blow by requiring of the eastern artist the
work or the western machine. The people
OF the nineteenth century, he will saw ask
ed of China, Japan. India, Persia, Asia Mi
nor not their best, but their worst-any-
thing, so 1t bore the tag oriental Under
this foolish demand, he will explain the ri
of rugmaking virtually disappeared from
the Asian villages. while the potteries of
Japan gave themselves to caricatures 'for
export of their older and finer products.
and Japanese painters cast away the beau
tiful linear symbolism to the perfecting of
which centuries had gone, and gave them
selves to meaningless imitation Of the paint
ing of Paris.
