The burglar joyfully picked up the

Studio Nickname.
"He could speak Italian, and so we
often talked together, quite chump-
chummy."
Corsi, like most of his race, is quick
ana exc1taDle, so his English often be-
comes twisted in the rush Of reminis-
cences, though usually it is the pink
of correctness.
No one knows Corsi's origin.
whence, perhaps, comes his sometime
pseudonym of the MAN of Mystery"
He was brought up from childhood
by the painter Felix Moscheles and his
wife, who, being childless, treated him
tor years almost like their own son,
taking him everywhere with them on
their travels in Egypt and the Orient.
Corsi has many souvenirs of these
pleasant sojourns of his childhood.

long friendship, Corsi tells this Incl

"One Christmas, when was posing

The British Father of
the japanese N0Uv

The Japanese Imperial Naval Col
lege, at which all the officers Of the
Japanese Navy are now trained, was
established and conducted for several
years by British naval officers, whose
services were lent to Japan by the
British Admiralty.
The chief of these officers was Cap
tain Douglas. He was director of the
college in the seventies, and may be
regarded as the father of the Japanese
Navy. He is now Vice-Admiral Sir
Archibald Lucius Douglas, K. c. B.,
commanding the British North Amer
lean Squadron. He was the senior
officer of the international squadron
which recently blockaded the coast
of Venezuela, and he visited Newport
in his flagship, the "Ariadne," last
summer.
Admiral Douglas thinks very highly
of the Japanese Navy, and maintains
that it is quite as efficient as the
British, so far as it goes. He is fond
of telling how he had to restrain the
enthusiasm of his cadets at the Naval
College
They were the keenest youngsters
| ever knew" he told the writer.
Some of them would have killed
themselves with overwork, if I had
not stopped them. You would not
catch the cadets doing that on the
Britannia or at Annapolis, either"

The Hornet That LL1ouLd
Not Le0Ue Its Dinner

Dan Beard tells this curious warn
about hornet:
One day while we were eating din
ner in our log house in the woods of
Pike county, Pa, we were entertained
by a number Of white-faced hornets,
which were busy catching the flies
that lowered over the table. They
even caught the flies from the back
OF my hand and lifted them gently
from the bald spot on my head
One hornet bounced upon fly
which was busy rubbing its two front
legs together, as it chung with the
other four to the fringe of the table
cloth. Buzz as the hornet would, it
could not carry away that fly. 1t had
gathered up some fbers Of cloth along
with its prey, and, Of course. was un-
able to pull the table cloth along
with it.
AS sat laughing at its futile efforts
| saw that in its occasional pauses the
hornet itself seemed to have an idea
as to what held the fly, for it would
nip off a fibre here and there and try
again. At length, in despair, it ceased
its efforts and devoured the fly then
and there.
Afterwards it caught another flv
from the butter dish, and, with his last
victim in its claws and its first in its
stomach, flew triumphantly out Of the
window.
The Dog That Made Believe.
My little dog "Monad" hated flies.

fooled him, but the joke was on me.
for, after repeated trials, | discovered
that "Monad" had entered into the
spirit Of the game and was also max

This not only showed intellect. but
also highly developed sense of hu-

OF course, he was just funning, but
he looked fierce-so! So | kept still
not one move, even to scratch nv
nose or wlggle my toe, for Just three
hours and twenty-five minutes. That
| think, is the longest time any model
ever posed without rest-time.
Sargent ran back and forth-so
working like mad, and when he got
through, he fell down on floor quite
exhausted so. | also fell over, trem-
bling all through But the great

How Queen Victoria
Rallied Her
Artistic Daughter.
Tell me more about the Princess.
Did the Queen ever come to watch
her daughter work." Corsi was asked
"Oh, yes, many times. Once, when
l was Just new iii the studio at the
palace where Her Royal Highness
worked at her sculpt-sculpting the
Queen Victoria came in just as | was
leaving. She looked after me, and
turning to Princess Louise, said:
Who is the man with the hair?'
The Princess laughed and called
me back, and the Queen talked to me.
She asked me how liked her daugh-
ter,s work. | said very much. But
daresay you have seen better?' and
then she smiled at the Princess, her
daughter. [ was so embarrassed /
said right out, Yes, Your Majesty She
smiled more, then l said, very quickly,
But Her Royal Highness is most
clever
"The Prince-now the King-used
to come, too, and watch her work. He
talked about my bushy hair, also"
How long, was she on the Cruel
fxion?"
"Over two years. She worked hard,
too, when she did work-from II to
100, then from 3 to e, when we had
tea together, then once more from 7
on till she was tired She would light
my cigarette for me, and | would light
hers, for she let me smoke there, and
she did, too.
Zone other time, when she was
working at the plaster, she made a
big hole in the side of the figure. A
big Scotchman, who was fixing her
tools for her, kept staring at her so,
she turned quite like lightning and
said, 'McClosen, McC1osen, don't stare
like that. You make me nervous.
Here, amuse yourself filling UP that
hole

Here the album was opened. A tele-
gram from Windsor read:

The letter from the Countess
Gleichen, dated from St. James's Pal
ace, where the Queen had made her at
home, ran:

~ York and Boston is a slight
swarthy man with the pro-
file OF Sioux and the long, bushy
black hair of Kafir belle. His garb
IS equally fantastic in its clash of wild
westernism, as betokened by naunt-
ing sombrero, given him by Buffalo
Bill, and effete aestheticism, as shad-
owed forth by a famboyant necktie
and the velvet coat of an artist. He
IS Antonio Corsi, probably the great
est artists model in the world. His
life reads like a series of panoramic
sketches of travel and biography.
He has posed for all the great living
artists both here and abroad, and his
personal "reminiscences of these fam
Gus personages, taken in conjunction
with wonderful scrap-book album
which he holds above price, and con-
tanning photographs, letters, cards, no.
tees by the score from them, are in
teresting and amusing.
He has been loaded with curious
presents by his famous PATRONS
study of head from Sir Edwin
Poynter, president of the Royal Acad-
envy; silk Partisan drapery and a
guitar from Sargent; sketches from
Abbey and the elder Burne-J Jones;
whole paintings from Felix Moscheles
and his gifted wife; and, most priced OF
all, dolls cradle and a child's cart
and horse given to his children by
H. R. H. Princess Louise.
The Princess Louise
Was Kind
to the Models Children.
ct is handmade, and must have
cost the Princess a guinea" he said of
the cradle, with childish delight. you
see, she is very fond of children, and
was so nice to my six-year-old Rosina
and her brother, the little Albert. She
once took them down to her country
place for six weeks. The little ones
were delighted-had the time of
their lives, as you say. 1t was at a
bazaar given there that she bought
the cradle and cart. l used to take
them up to the palace in an omnibus to
see her. They called her their fairy
princess"
"You posed for the statue of the
'Crucifxion,' done by the Princess
Louise, didn't your"
ooh, yes-and it was most pleasant
She was so kind, never forgetting the
rest-time"
"The rest-time?"
"Si-the time for the model to rest
you know. The artist who forgets
that can be very hard on one, you see
for, of course, I wouldn't take my
own rest, if it killed me.
Sargent used to forget often. He
would get so interested in his work, he
would forget I wasn't mash-how
do you call it?-machine.

when he made his first sketch in col
ors, he said to me, after he had got
the folds of the drapery just SO, to suit
