pieces of statuary to the few Greek
 sculptors whose names have come
 down to us and who must have been very busy men indeed if they did all the things attributed to them. It is | therefore little rash to assert posi- 1 lively that a particular piece of work must be assigned to such and such an artist There seems, nevertheless, to be little doubt that the statue of which the Harvard Meleager may or may not be a replica was made either by Scopas or some one of his age. It has all the characteristics of the era of transition when the Greek sculptors were beginning to be less devoted to rendering the ideal and decorative and more addicted to the realistic and rep resentative; and 1t is one of the best things of it's age-one in which the ex- cellences of both types of sculpture are prominent
 Scopas bore the greatest name among the sculptors of this period of the 4th century B. C.-of a time when the artists were beginning to have new methods of workmanship and new con- captions of the ancient deities. This Meleager, attributed to him belongs therefore to one of the best periods of Greek art and in most essentials 1t stands we'll the test of comparison with such statues as the Apollo and the Infant Dionysus" or the Venus of Melos." And certainly among the many renderings of the subject this one which Harvard has acquired Is among the most admirable, although perhaps the most famous of all Is the one in the Belvidere of the Vatican at Rome. Between these two Meleagers there is good deal of difference, con siderable drapery and other acoessor- ies appearing in the Vatican copy. Competent critics say that the statue more lately unearthed if not the original of the time of Scopas, Is sure ly the nearer to the original, The copyists of the Roman empire, they re- call used to delight in attaching dra- peries and other supposed ornaments to the comparatively unadorned statu- ary of the great Greek artists. Need less to remark that, as general rule, these additions did not benefit the ar tistic conception.
 In speaking of this statue in the Fogg museum. MT Richard Norton, head of the American Archaeological Institute in Rome. says, Among all the copies of the statue, the one at Harvard takes high rank from the point of view of artistic excellence. The rubbing that portions of the torso have suffered does not destroy the i'm pression of great accuracy, the spirit and ease in the modelling. The back is magnificent The head is probably more like the original than the head in the Medici Villa. I have above re- ferred to high praise generally given by competent students to the Medici head. Several points about it, no one of them perhaps by itself, but all taken together, make it quite certain, think, that it cannot be, as has been sug- gested, the head of the original Greek statue. The head of the Harvard figure is different in every part: it is not round and bullet-like. The hair, while not perfectly rendered, is more life-like. for it is carved in varying ways in different parts, and not exc cuted in lumpy fashion. The face has

WHEN YOU ARE DEAD!
A Reply to the Poem of the "One Lungers' President" "When l am
 Dead!"

Be brave, O "Ghostr There's a place of graves In the Arizona sands, Where flowers grow the year around that were planted by loving hands. And there through the silvery summer tide the white tube roses bloom, And drift their fragrant petals wide, OCT many lungers tomb. And when you are there with naught to say, in the restful years to be, You will have some quiet hours then, for the T. B.'s will not bother thee. Is 1t unconscious there? Shall you recognize us, when We slip the lariet that binds us here, and drift from the days of men Drift out thro' the infinite sweeps of space, on the surge of immortal years,
 And melt in the mighty universe through all of its suns and spheres? |? Nay, nay Pauline" it cannot be; in ways to the wise unknown, We shall meet and know, as we met and knew before our breath had flown.
 Though we melt in the mighty uni-
 
 And live in the white tube roses and the blossoms on the tree. Then why should the tear drops dim our eyelids at your tomb? Why should we hide our faces there where the ferns and roses bloom2 It is only little, little while till the last "One hunger" shall go Ont O'er fha rim nf ba rodfouf and know what "The President" will knowi
 So when you're dead, have passed away, and clad in your cerements chill.
 We'll jest and drink and frolic the same as if you were with us still. For when we look at the miracle Of starlight and glorious day, We shall know your souls still with us, though you have naught to say.
