One of the most startling grotesque conception Is that of Thivier, entitled ''The Bad Dream" It is the figure of young girl, reclining in an attitude of distress. the head thrown back while over the body d hideous demon creeps Close at hand is another reclining fig ure. that of the Poisoned Slave by Loi- seau-Rousseas. In which the death agony is powerfully depicted.
 There is but one piece from the chisel of the wonderful Rodin, and 1t Is thor ouehly characteristic of the strongest of the modern French sculptors. It Is called The Thinker" title that would suggest lean. intellectual schol- ar. Instead of this, Ridon has portray ed a muscular, unlettered man with great bare feet and powerful nude limbs. The brow Is not that of the professor and the countenance reveals low order of intelligence. The figure is brutal and earthly. vet it Is that of thinker and a thinker who is capable of delving vastly deeper into the mys- teries of the unknowable than the sleek professor would he.
 The statue of Pere Didon by Puech also in the French section, is start ling piece of realism. The mantel and shoe are of black marble and the face, hair and other accessories are carried out in colored marble so as to give the exact coloring of life. It may be that this is real art, and that the time will come when portrait statues in pure white or in the natural color of bronze will be relegated to the lumber room, and only colOred marble statues will be acceptable. As yet, we have not learned to accept so much realism. We prefer to have something left to the ina gination.
 There are many meritorious groups in the collection, and there are some excellent medals; but the exhibit as a whole Is likely to send the visitor back to the American sculptor hall with the settled conviction that we have learned all the lessons in art which Europe is capable of teaching

 At no time during the game did .the visitors show the usual good ball play ing abilities and this was probably due to the fact that the spectators number ed less than fifty. This was on ac- count of the small advertising given the event.

There has been too much laxity and injurious license in such matters in this country. There ought to be a law in every commonwealth in this republic lay ing down barriers of genuine weight against the carrying of revolvers without permits from the proper authorities, and the grant ing of such permits ought to be hedged about with thorough precautions. More over. any and every offender against such a statute should be compelled to serve term of Imprisonment and not be allowed to escape punishment by the mere payment of a fine.
