Portrait painting in a dark cellar has
become something of fad in London.
The artist who started this novel idea
says that working in the semi-darkness
relieves the eyes from the constant
strain of half-closing them in order to
obtain the proper values of the sub
jects. The idea came to him while he
was studying the works of velasquez
and Rembrandt.

An inventory of gifts to ships of the
navy just completed by the department
shows that these tributes aggregate
$110,040 in value. They have been pre-
sented by states and municipalities af-
ter which vessels have been named, and
in some cases by individuals. Silver
services represent the greater part of
the gifts. The armored cruiser New
York heads the list in the value of it's
gifts, the amount being $14,539, which
represents a. silver service, a library, a
bell and other furnishings. The cruiser
Brooklyn boasts of silver service pre-
scented by the people of that borough
and valued at $S,39S. The smallest gift
is an IS photograph on the Foote. The

M. ILLUMINATION, the imaginative
French astronomer, recently made an
interesting experiment, by which hot
weather victims should be able to profit.
He placed two thermometers, one Of Or
binary glass, the other painted black in
the sun. In the white glass the mer-
curry rose 144 (C). Under the black glass
It went up to 157. M. Flammarion
therefore concludes that people who
wear black in summer are some 10 de-
grees warmer than those who dress in
white. In other words, men, generally
speaking, are greater sufferers from the
heat than women. Also, for the benefit
Of victims who go around in top hats.
M. Flammarion tells that putting ON a
silk hat, and standing in the July sun
for an hour, a thermometer placed ON
your skull beneath the hat will register
from 1875 to HAS.
