Cult of the Beautiful,

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Is our esthetic perception quickened or
deadened by daily contact with beauty?
We know that luxuries gradually harden
into necessities, and the products of hu-
man skill and art lose their fascinating
strangeness; but, with growing intimacy.
does landscape depreciate or gain in
meaning?
When we question those who dwell In
the company of natures acknowledged
masterpieces, the diversity of opinion is
battling; so we must draw our own conciu-
sions from spontaneous expressions and
from unsought personal revelations, such
as Illness may afford. TO one who has
been long shut away from the physical
world, how glad is the welcome of wav-
ing branches and how glorious the trf-
umphal arch of sun-lighted heaven! The
scene may have been just as fair when
the door closed, but it's loneliness never
palpitated with such vital significance. We
feel that the pain and the remuneration have
been worth while, and SO it Is when the
country-loving city dweller comes back to
his heritage. To the eye stated with brick
walls and crowded streets, what was ever
so wonderful vision of white waterfall
and wild dark crags?
Perhaps it Is only what we call "flne
scenery that pals upon or strains the
senses, yet we long most keenly for the
old. or the native prospect, whatever that
may have been. How do people live
where there are no mountains?" asked q
child of the hills. You mean where there
isn't any seal" answered her guest, whose
next-door neighbor was the ocean.
Young people especially delight in a Yose-
mite or Niagara exhibit. 1t Is the eye or
phiiosophic maturity that responds to the
appeal of a tame country. You may recall
sandy stretch of earth denied even the
majesty of trees and the grace of ripping
grasses. but how subtle is the allurement
Of tone and outline! How we value the
sparse growths and the slender gift of
vague dun stretches, az IL an ocean washed
against those imagined purple mountains
OF the horizon. Neither nature nor the
eye is content with dead level, 80 where
sea and hills do not exist their semblance
is created.

sand tons and increasing the tonnage of the
two battle ships authorized by the last
Congress, the South Carolina and Michf-
gan, from sixteen to eighteen thousand
tons. In addition, the general board asks
Tor three scout cruisers, five gunboats and
additional torpedo boats and .destroyers.
The board on construction disapproyes OF
eighteen-thousand-ton battle ships Tho
board is in favor of a homogeneous build
Ing program. 1t believes the eighteen-thou-
sand-ton ship Is, at best an experiment
and that the additional tonnage increases
but little the ships fighting efficiency. The
beard calls attention to the fact that battle
ships of today are built for long range
fighting, and a ships fighting power is
to be measured, to a great extent, by the
number of guns she can present In a broad
side.
The proposed South Carolina type of
10000 tons displacement is designed to carry
eight twelve-inch guns in her battery, so
arranged that she can present eight guns
In broadside. Nor Is the board on con-
structfon unanimously certain that IT is
possible for a ship OF 1890 tons to carry
ten twelve-inch guns, the Dreadnaught
having mixed battery of 81 and twelve
inch guns.
On the ground therefore, that the 10000
ton battle ship is, all things considered, the
most formidable and effective man-of-war
the board urges that the battle ships to be
authorized at this Congress be OF this type.
and recommends that the South Carolina
and Michigan be built as authorized. of
1900 tons trial displacement
Because they believe battle ships to be
the paramount need of the navy today and
are not hopeful that the Congress will au-
thorize a large building program, the board
on construction urges that the departments
efforts be concentrated to obtain three
battle ships of 10000 tons and, If possible
three scout cruisers. The board Is In
favor of waving at this session of Con-
gress the request for additional torpedo
craft and gunboats.
