emerged from his room. ana then boldly
opened it an6 stepped out into the corridor.
Just as he reached the stairway he met
the boy who had attended him to his room.
He saw, with some satisfaction, that he
merely glanced at him, evidently without
recognition. The young man took heart at
this and went upon his way, passing
through the Office without recognition by
the clerk, and. SO on, down in the elevator.
Once again in the train shed he sought
the densest part of the crowd that was
gathered there. Within five minutes. by
easy maneuvering. he had again satisfied
himself that he was not followed. Keeping
always as many people between himself
and the front of the station as he could he
edged his way to the extreme left of the
place, and then, going close to the outer
wall. passed along it until he reached the
entrance to small stairway, which leads
downward to the narrow side street.
The passage across the great train shed
had been nervous work, and, despite the
fact that he had so materially altered his
appearance, Parton almost trembled as he
made it. Once actually in the entrance to
the stairway, and then on the narrow and
ill-lighted stairs themselves. he felt much
safer. He hurried down. 1t was a relief

the two men parted WITH. mutual express
sions of esteem for each other and con-
tempt for the weather. He walked on and
on, until he saw by his watch under
f1ickering gas jet that 1t vas about the time
when the sun would have begun to shine on
him had there not been too much fog to
make such a phenomenon possible in Lon
don that morning. He had begun to lose
faith in the directions which the sailor had
given to him, when he realized suddenly
that his journey was at an end. There
were the odors of salt and tar and oakum
and bilge water, as well as that strange,
sweetish, almost sickening smell which al
ways seems to go with ship cargoes, and
there came the unmistakable odor of the
sea from the big basin.
Parton walked along the sidewalk. which
is separated from the great gates leading
to the docks by space wide enough to be
a plaza in any other city. The fog had
thinned with the coming Of the day. but it
was still necessary for him to walk slowly
and to peer closely in order to see the signs.
At last he found one which informed the
wayfarer that within might be found good
food and comfortable lodging at moderate
prices. He entered. He was ravenously

ly interesting to strangers, but to such mem
as my father. Rousseau and Dupre therei
was an lneXpressible beauty in the country
round in which a stranger saw only fiat
fields, or toward the west where the forest
rises, some low, craggy hills crowded with
dark pine woods. Yet at some seasons the
charm OF the country must have been APP
parent even to visitors. for nowhere else
in France is there such PERCUSSION of
howering weeds, running riot all through
the wheat and grain lands.
These were the people and this was the
country that Millet painted, and of which,.
he himself was part. No village dweller
was more humble. He wore a peasants
dress, even to the wooden shoes. and for 81
part of his day he labored in the garden
and fields like the peasants. He lived in a
cottage no better than those of his neigh-
bors, and was ever ready to talk with them
as one of themselves.
Barbzon since that time has changed
somewhat, but an acquaintance with the
village reveals good deal that is attract
I've in its older parts. Some of the build
ings have a picturesque way OF hugging
the public road. Others are more retiring
and have narrow grounds before them,
with massive street walls fortifying their
SecluSion.
Unfortunately, the region mas somewhat
adapted itself to the needs of outsiders,
for the little farms that lined the road
have been transformed into rented houses
because of the great number of people
from everywhere around whom the sum-
mer brings there to spend several months.
The hotels (there are fve) overflow with
students on excursions to the forest and
the country round. which is Il grand exams
pie of the work of nature.
The women are field workers as well as
house workers. and you meet them the
street trundling home barrows of grass
which they have cut with their sckles, or
see them batting their cows along the road
ways. But oftenest they are to be found
working with the men, hoeing. wedding On
haying.

LESS POWER NEEDED
In Flying Than in ANY Other Method
Of Progression.

From the Scientific American.
Flying, from the figures available, may
be considered the easiest of all methods
of progression, calling for less horse
power than any other. AS a proof of
this, take for example the case of the
storks. which, in their annual migrations,
make flight between Budapest in Hun
gary and Lahore in India. This, in an air
line, is, perhaps, $500 to 2,4OO miles, and
the distance is accomplished in about "a
hours without a rest. A horse driven in
a sulky 100 miles in a long summer day
is not far from the limit of endurance.
SIX hundred miles in week is near the
limit of man in heel-and-toe walking
One thousand two hundred miles is APP
preaching the record of the ''go-as-you-
please gait" Among wild animals 100
miles is about as much as can be found
in the records for "a hours, but the bird
weighing anywhere perhaps up to 20
pounds makes the $500 miles in "a hours
with ease and certainty twice in a year
IL the weight is put at 10 pounds, this
equals 25 ton miles. On the best and
most level railroad and with carriages
operating with the least friction, a TO-
pound animal would find it difficult to haul
25 tons one mile in "a hours. These birds
fly at great heights, undoubtedly to re-
duce the resistance of the air. There are
many other examples that might be
given of long distances covered by heavy
birds, showing the small amount of pow
er required in flight. The immense speed
of many of our birds when in ordinary
flight is another proof of the small
amount of power required.
No animal, whatever its weight, bird
only excepted, can make any such speed
as 80 to 100 miles per hour. Among the
birds there is a. long list of those whose
speeds are from so miles an hour upward,
their weights all being under Is pounds
Parenthetically, it may be remarked that
naturalistS Will give dimensions of birds
to an eighth of an inch. carefully spread
ing their wings and arranging the feath-
ers, but it never occurs to them to give
weights. The eagle may weight to so
pounds, so far as the records show
Hunters rarely speak of the weight of
birds, though the weight of game is
often estimated and the weight of fish
given to the nearest ounce.
The fact just given, when taken to-
gether, show pretty conclusively that the
power necessary for animal flight is ex-
tremely small rather than very great 1t
also seems to be proved that to fly sue
cessfully the speed must be high.

of years acquired a horror of modern
improvements that promises well for the
preservation of the town as it was in the
height of its glory thirty years ago.
Should MllietS be selected to the
mayorship his first official act will be to
put plaques over the houses wherein the
men lived who made the Barbizon school.
Most of these houses still stand, though
some of them have undergone a change.
The house of Rousseau is now a chapel;
that of Diaz IS ParisieniZed; Millets has
been razed though his studio still stands.
Francois Mllet, the son, who was
raised in Barbizon, and who, from his
earliest boyhood days, was the constant
companion of the elder MiIlet and his fell

with the restoration OF the old town and
his probable election as mayor of the
commune, graphic account of the men,
