A R T N O T E s i.

More than usual interest is attached to
the exhibition of water colors by Mr.. Wal
ter Paris which opened on Monday in the
Veerhof gallery. 1t is distinctly out of the
ordinary. Mr.. Paris has style entirely his
own and his manner of expression is unique.
His work is the antithesis of that by the
Japanese artists which recently occupied
the same gallery-it is that of the realist
versus that of the idealist. He trans
scribes. he does not interpret nature TAX
ing her at her best, selecting her choicest
compositions, he is satisfied with what he
sees and sets 1t down with unerring ac-
curacy and uncompromising frankness His
pictures are literal renderings of facts. and
they carry with them conviction of their
veraeity. They do not. 1t is true manifest
in their execution any emotion, nor do they
appeal sensibly to the observers imagina-
ton, but that they should do so Is not es-
sential and that they are rendered with
consummate skill none will deny. Art has
beyond its primary grade, no hard and fast
rules, and because a subtle, tentative inter-
probation has been declared admirable 1t
is not necessary to condemn all else. No
painter of any school could stand before
some of these wafer colors OF Mr.. Paris
and not doff his hat TO the skill which
wrought them. They are more than clever
achievements.

IN LONDON THEATERS


LONDON, March 2o.-Evidently David Be
lasco is more capable playwright than
M Jean Richepin. That is the impression
one received from the French authors 'Du
Rarri which Mrs. Brown Potter has just
produced-in English-at the Savoy Theater.
M Richepin made a fuss it will be remem-
bered when Belasco's ''Du Barri was given
in America two or three years ago. and de-
clared that the best of it WAS stolen from
him. Nothing came of his protests, how
ever, and the Belasco play earned lot of
money for its author and Mrs. Leslie Car
ter.
Now, the adaptation of Richepins 'Du
Barri," which Mrs. Brown Potter is using
is an authorized one. A free adapta-
ton no doubt and one made in accordance
with Mrs. Potters ideas and those of her
manager, Gilbert Hare. Charles Brookfield
was originally chosen fer this work. But
for some reason Mr.. Brookfield's version
failed TO please Mrs. Potter, and so a new
adaptation of '.nu Barri., was made by
Christopher st. John, who Is member of
the American actress company Gilbert
Hare had hand in 1t, too and this version
of the Richepin play ii was that saw the
light at the Savoy the other night. Just
what M. Richepin thought of 1t has not been
divulged. The French author supervised all
the final rehearsals, however, and occupied
box on the first night, so there is every
reason to suppose that he considered that
the Savoy play represented him fairly.
In that case David Belasco Is fully en-

Tickets for the Blind.
!, Columbus Dispatch

FROM In Columbus plSpatcH.
1t is worth noting, as one of the ways In
which thoughtfulness of others is being
taught in large cities, that in New York city
there is an organization known as the
committee on tickets for the blind" 1t is
composed of good-hearted women whose
purpose in organizing is to enable the sight
less to enjoy music and dramatic perform
ances in which the ear rather than the eye
is appealed to. Investigations are made In
the poorer quarters and the blind who have
no way of procuring entertainment for
themselves are sought out. Money is So
licited to buy tickets and to pay the car
fare of the blind and their attendants. Peo-
PIE who have bought tickets to entertain
ments and cannot use them often turn them
over to the committee for the use of the
blind and sometimes managers give num-
Der of their less expensive seats to the COM
mittee for the same use.

three on each fore foot or fourteen in

says, Each leg terminates in a sort Of
fan, and with these the little reptile
paddles the air like locust or like a
partially fedgcd bird testing its pin
Ions for the first time"
Although somewhat awkward, in its
fight, the winged frog can dart through
the air at a speed of about ten yards
per second and can keep itself going
forward at that rate for from ten TO
fifteen seconds The average distance
covered by these spurts of grasshopper-
like flight is from 10 TO 125 yards, but
Bishoff mentions instances where the
flying frog cleared sandy stretches 200
yards in width.

SUPERSTITION AND GEMS.
Some Points About the Topaz, the
Ruay and the opal.

\ Maiden llne jeweler speaking Of
The trade in jewels said the o~~ar day
that superstition with reference to them
had Il serious effect upon the trade.
Some people Will not buy or wear topaz
unless they were born IN November,
and others cannot be induced to buy
rubieS unless they were born in July
Ii doesn't concern many people about
rubieS. because their price IS too high
Tor most persons to wear them. There
are not two hundred good rubies Of any
size worth speaking Of In New York,
but the topaz is abundant and Is not
dear
Then there is the superstltious obJec-
ton 10 opa.s. which are regarded as
Cnlucky al the year around and have
no saving natal month to lift their op-
probriUm- They do not need the su-
perstition to make them Objectionable,
however because while they are very
beautiful they are also very fragile and
should hc very cheap. Out In Austria
liza YOU can 90 out with pick and dig
a whcelbarrow load in an hour. The
cutting and polishing give them some
value. hut it is something like that be-
slowed upon cut glass. Still they rank
as jewels, aad when they are sold 1t Is
for a price. If, however, you want to
find their value offer one to your jew
clcr either for cash sum or in ex-
change. You will then learn what they

Perhaps one Of the ClevereSt tricks
ever played on Uncle Sans money
marts is credited to Philadelphia wo-
man. She had been engaged with a
gang of counterfciters and had learned
the secrets of the work. She hired a
room with steam power and with the
aid Of small drills she dug out five and
ten dollar gold pieces, leaving nothing
but very thin outside shell. This was
effected by drilling through the milled
edge of the coin She then replaced
the extracted gold with some baser
metal. taking care to preserve the exact
legal weight of the coin, and then COW
cred NJ with a small bit of extracted
gold the tiny hole made by the drill.
BY this ingenious device she extracted
SO worth of gold from every five dollar
gold piece and $50 worth of gold from
every tea dollar gold piece that she
handled, and yet the coin remained ap-
parently as before This device Is pro-
nounced to be the most absolutely safe
and clever of all dishonest practices
that has ever been resOrted to in con-
nection with money. Success made her
reckless, and arrest and Imprisonment
soon stopped the woman's operations

MARKS OF LONGEVITY.
Physical Indications That You May
Study For Yourself.

Every person carries about with him
the physical indications of his longevi-
ty. A long lived person may be dis
tinguished from a short lived person
ut sight. In many instances physi-
clan may look at the hand of patient
and tell whether he will live or die
The primary conditions Of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs as we'll as the brain should be
large II these organs are large the
trunk will be long and the limbs com
paratively short. The person will ap-
pear tall in sitting and short in stand
ing. The hand will have a long and
somewhat heavy palm and short fin
gers. The brain will be deeply seated,
as shown by the oriiice of the ear be-
ing low. The blue hazel or brown ha-
gel eye as showing an intermission Of
temperament. is = favorable indica-
ton. The uoStrils being large, open
and free indicates large lungs. A
pinched and half closed nostril tndi-
Gates small or weak lungs.
These are general points Of dlstinc-
ton from those of short lived tenden-
cieS. but of course subject to the usual
individual exceptions. Still. it Is well
acknowledged that the characteristics
noted are expressions Of inherent po-
tentiality. which have been proved on
the basis OF abundant statistical evil
