ABOUT THE oPPENHElM VIEWS.

Like Hangwill, the English author, Op- penheim German artist, was at his best in depicting the life of his own peo- pie. Although a painter of wide range, he loved most to dwell on the scenes of his own dear old home life, and has suc- less counterfeit of these scenes, so quaint in their old-world poetry.

 At Colbys this week is an exhibition of water colors by MT. Edwin Wood Da- ley a New York artist. It is a collection of flower studies and is attracting great deal of attention. Mir Daley has never exhibited any of his work in the south and while he has not devoted his entire time to painting he has become well and favorably known in the north, es- pecially for his portrait work He is at present in the south and has turned his attention to water color work. He is very individual in his treatmen of flow CTS, and his color effects are extremely charming He seems to have prefer ence for brilliant. striking studies, all though his softer colorings are exquisite.

Notable among his studies Is a tall slen- der vase holding two long stemmed Am erican Beauty roses. He also has another study in American Beauty roses, the background in exquisite greens, fading in to the foliage of the roses.
 A brilliant study shows an arrange ment of scarlet geraniums and there is a study of nastertiums those testers of nature, which admit of the deep reds and yellows in striking contrast
 The artist has shown besides his love for such things as the gorgeous Painsetta and the rich scarlet colorings of gerani- ums, a keen appreciation of such effects and such softness as are only found in the pale yellow daffodls A study shows a single daffodi tall, slender, with the sweet dignity that seems to surround those flowers. Another study shows an arrangement of daffodils, their pale beauty outlined against a grey back ground. There are other studies equally as artistic
 MT. Daley has his studio in Gadsden, and yesterday a box of perms and other artis- tic blossoms were sent to him from one of the Birmingham florists. The artist has a number of friends in Birmingham.
 At Mayer Brothers there is a large water color exhibition by foreign artists and one or two American water colorists. , The exhibitor includes several land scapes and some of the figure work is excellent. Among the most notable studies is the figure of peasant woman and a corner in market There Is a study of sheep, and some of the landscapes are fine, notably that of lowland, a marsh with dense foliage.
 Mrs. Carrie Watson Morgan has an ex- hibition of her porcelains. some fine studies in roses, and large vase decor ated with Nysteria.
 At Rolls there is an exhibition of pot tery and bronzes.

Consumption and Pneumonia.
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
There is no good reason why the public
health office should not have record or
the cases of tuberculosis and pneumonia,
and physicians cannot consider 1T hard
shin to be required to report every such
case. However, 1t is not true that either
malady is an acute infectious disease
Both are commonly regarded as comnuni-
cable in favoring circumstances. Dut II IS
practicable for a person to come INTO sne
most intimate contact with patient al
flicted with either and by the Simplest
precautions escape attack.
One objection to the classification or THESE
diseases as conta gious is that in the course
of time it must close the public hospitals
to the victims who are poor. Already, in
every large city, poor consumptlVes are
denied admittance to hospitals in which
there are many vacant cots, SIMPLY because
some sanitary bodies have exaggerated tne
communicability of tuberculosis Ihere
would be very little trouble In providing
against every danger of contaglon IRON
conSumptiyeS in hospitals, yet although
more persons in most communities Suner
from this than from any other disease, the
hospital doors are shut against them.
That the same effect would follow the
rating of pneumoniaIoas contagious dls-
ease by all boards of health there Is every
reason to believe. The degree or danger
from cOnSumptive or pneumonia patent
patient is unable to leave his home, where
he is usually surrounded by people VINO are
careless and Indifferent as to the extension
of the maiady. The poorer the patient the
more probable it is that his home Is In a
large tenement ands among people who
have not the time, disposition or lntelii-
gence to protect themselves from Invisible,
and to them incredible, dangers.

Inoculating the Ground.

From the National Geographic Magazine.
To inoculate sterile ground and make 1t
bring forth fruit in abundance is one Of
the latest achievements of American SCI
ence Some of mans most dread diseases
smallpox. diphtheria, plague. rabies-have
been vanquished by inocula tor, and now
inoculation is to soil that has been
worn out and make it fertile and productive
again.
The germs that bring fertility are mailed
by the Department of Agriculture in a
small package like a yeast cake. The cake
contains millions of dried germs The
farmer who receives the cake drops ii into
a barrel of clean water; the germs are re-
vived and soon turn the water to a milky
white. Seeds of clover. peas. alfalfa or
other leguminous plants that are then
soaked in this milky preparatio are en-
dowed with marvellous strength Land on
which, for instance. the farmer with con-
slant toll had obtained alfalfa only few
inches high when planted with these inocu-
lated seeds will produce alfalfa several
feet high and so rich that the farmer docs
not recognize his crop.

PET BUTTERFLIES.
California Woman's Story of How She
Trains Them.
From the San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post.
Miss Mabel Adams Aver 1922 Clay street.
a prominent Sunshine Club worker, and
member of the Forum Club, has succeeded
in training butterflies.
At first the idea seems almost absurd.
but IL one can see the way Miss Aver ham
dies her pets it seems the most natural
thing in the world. In speaking of them
today Miss Aver said:
Why, it doesn't seem at all strange 10
me- They are just like any .other trained
pet. They have their likes and dislikes.
and they are really lovable little things
when you come TO know them.
The first thing that started me to study
ing them was when L was asked to deliver
a lecture before the Forum Club. / choose
for my subject Butterflies and Rainbows,'
and. wishing to give something more than
could be learned from books L went into
the garden and captured one or two of the
butterflies. The more | studied them the
more | loved them, and now they are al
most like people to me.
When 1 first get one [ uncoiI his tongue
and feed him with sugar and water, and
the rest-why. l don't know: they Just
come TO know me; that's all You know,
the butterfly has six legs. and the two
front ones he uses 70 wash his face and
preem himself, much as a cat would.
They live on sugar and water and / al
ways keep plenty of flowers in the room
ing Cloak l was unable to do anything
with. He seemed to have no affection.
They are sensitive. and nervous tempera-
n.ents affect them always. Some OF them
are quite playful. and two or three would
run after and try to catch the end of a
stickpin when l drew it in front of them.
"Cne evening l wore several OF them on
my shoulder an ornament. OF course
Il was in my own home. but they stayed
on my gown all evening.
Il have had in all over forty butterflies.
but, you know, they live only three or four
weeks, and most of them are dead now.
NO, L do not use net for catching
them. l simply go out and pick them up
l always breathe on them, and that seems
to warm them, and they get they will
fly ali around me and battle or eat from my
hand
Yes l have had great deal of pleas
ure with them. and | take them around in
my Sunshine Club. and IL helps the sick
people so much. Amy one can train them
If only they will have patience. Why. one
of them got so he would stand on his hind
legs for me whenever / raised him with
my finger"

Ants Can Stand Extreme Cold.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
There is a very popular belief that the
small ant cannot stand much cold" said q
man who lives uptown. "but the idea is en-
tirely wrong. There may have been a time
when the ant could not endure low tenn
peratures, but that time has passed, il it
ever existed.
1.-The fact is that the ant seems to rather
like the cold If may judge from experience
at my own home. They have for some time
been in the habit of making the icebox
their headquarters. They simply live there
IT is the one favorite spot with them. Nor
are they the least bit inclined to shun the
ice. Up to very recently ! had thought
that the ant was in the habit of burrow ng
deep into the ground in order to escape
the rtgors of the winter. But there is
nothing In this old idea. 1t may be due
to the exigencles OF the struggle for exist
enee, one of the things necessary in the
ceaseless fight for life. But. whs.-.er the
cause OF 1t. you can put the ant down as
being able to stand more cold than the
average human being"

Mays and Digestion.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
That the processes of digestion, as well
as mental and muscular activity, seem to
cause the emission of N-rays, is the con-
cIusion reached by NJ. Lambert, in France.
after series of interesting experiments.
He believes that these curious rays are
produced by ferments. especially by those
concerned in the digestion of albumenoid
matter. In his experiments on digestion NJ.
Lambert placed 4 small quantity of fbrin in
tubes contain lining in one case activated pam
creatic juice, and in another artificial gas
trio juice made by mixing per cent So
luton of pepsin with a a per cent solution
of hydrochloric acid From these tubes the
N-rays were emitted. and were detected not
only by producing increased iumnescence
of a phosphorescent screen. but also pho
Geographically. thus removing the subjective
element from the experiment As result
of these experiments M Lambert believes
that In the course of digestion the fibrfn
undergoes strains which act to produce NJ
rays just as various other bodies under
tension or strain, as was shown by y.
Biondlot.
