Father orMo,,ern Landscape.

Constable painted the scene rs he
saw it, but he was not satisfied with
merely copying nature. 1t was to him
so real companion that, in the first
place, he tried to make 1t live In his
pictures-that the clouds might move
and overhang the spot, that its atmos-
phere might penetrate every part OF
the scene, and that trees and water,
and the very plants by the roadside,
might move and have their being in 1t;
and secondly, he put his own personal
affection into his representation. Then,
too. in the matter of color, which can
not be Judged from the reproduction,
he dared to paint nature green, as he
saw it, and the skies blue, with the
sunshine either yellow or glaring
white. 1t is, then, because of this
closer faithfulness to the hues of ma
ture, and to the effects of movement.
of atmosphere, and of light, and be-
cause he interpreted nature according
to his own mood, that Constable is
called the father of modern landscape.

nineteenth century.-St. Nicholas.

While there are those who do not
particularly favor the scratching shed,
the fact remains that In the scratching
shed the fowls get exercise they might
not obtain without this structure, par
ticularly If many are housed in small
building. Whether or not the scratch

provided to give fowls In confinement
exercise. One of the best methods of
doing this is to provide ration which
may be given them III the middle of
the day to scratch over and pick ct.
Fine grain like millet thrown in the

things to use, but any grain should be
used sparlngly, so that the birds will

Among the curious observations
made by students at the Bermuda Bio
logical Station is that some of the in.
habitants of the water there are able
to initiate the color of the rocks anl
reefs among which they swim. The
common fish called the grouper pos
sesses this power. Its chromatfc varia.
bility runs through considerable
range of colors. A specimen of the

alist, escaped pursuit by its ability to
initiate the exact shade of any brown

Among the results of the recent Brit
fish Antarctic Expedition, as explained
by Capt. R. II. Scott, was the discov-
cry that the edge of the great ice bar
rier met by Sir James Ross, GO years
before, has retreated in places as mueh
as ~ or 80 miles. Nevertheless The
soundings made by the new expedition
show that several hundred fatholns Of
water still Intervene between the bot
tom of the ice at the present position
of The barrier and the floor Of the sea.
Tie greater portion of this immense
ice-siicet, Captain Scott believes, is

suit Of existing conditions, but as the

The name Andersonville has become
historic because of the famous prison
where from 25,000 to $4,000 Federal
soldiers, who had been captured by
the Confederate army, We're confined
from 1864 to 1865.
The story of Andersonville has be-
come a familiar one in every house
hold, writes Meta c. Hall in Will
transport PaJ Grit. The part which
the prisoners at Andersonville played
i'll demonstrating the superior patriot
ism of the American soldier is un-
rivaled There is nothing in the worlds
history that surpasses it. '1n the
midst of suffering indescribable they
refused the comfort and safety tempt
ingly proffered them by the enemy
and remained true to their colors even
unto the death.' Time, the great heal
err, is rapidly obliterating the harsh
ness and bitterness connected with 1t.
Future generations will learn from its
softened and mellowed memories the
great lessons of patriotism.
AT the close of the war in 1865 there
was but one house at the railroad sta
ton known as Andersonville and to-
day there is but little more. The at
traction for the great crowds often
numbering twenty to thirty thousand,
chat make their annual pilgrimage to
this their mecca, is not that little sta
ton on the Central of Georgia rail-
way, nor the red hills of Georgia and
fragrant piney woods. although they
furnish pleasing landscape, but the
national cemetery and the prison pen
or stockade of war times, the latter
remaining almost the same as when
abandoned by the soldiery.
The National cemetery was estab-
lished in 1865 by Captain James NJ.
Moore, who on the morning of July
26, 1860, under orders of the United
States government, began the work of
identifying the graves. painting and
