Although he is only nineteen, the paint
ing of Bernard Karfiol. who comes from the
United States, has attracted the attention
of the leading artists and critics of France.
THAT boy must go on; he has great
future" Jean Paul Laurens has said of
him. Terrier, one of the most noted teach
ers in the Julian Academy, who is notori-
GUS as never commencing any one, pointed
to a picture by 1<arfiol, and said to his
class: THAT is the way to paint" Mar
eel Baschet, who believes flattery the most
dangerous of thipgs, astounded all his
friends by saying to Karfiol, You will
make your way in your profession" 1t was
two years ago that Baschet spoke thus,
shortly before Karffol, without friends or
influence, gained admission to the Salon at
the age OF sixteen. being the youngest ever
thus honored. The prophecy may be said

English Scenery.


Some urge against English landscape that
it is too much crowded with marks of civ
ilization for the purposes of tour, but to
the right-minded there is but an added ro-
nance in bridge spanning small brown
water, village gil-t with pastures. the
roofs and towers of far town, the flash
and murmur of the telegraph wires along
the high road. or the smoky glow of a
train cIanking along the valley or thunder
ing forlornly In the distant hills.

Wished to Test Speed.
Several years ago, when the book-carrying
cable was new, Representative Amos Cum
mings wished to test it's speed. He wrote
on slip of paper an order for book and
sent 1t to the library station. The call was
for book that was easily accessible at the
library building, and 1t was returned quick
ly' SO that exactly seven and a half min
utes from the time Mr.. Cummings sent for
the volume he had 1t in his possession
That Is just about as fast as 1t is possible
to secure book, and, of course, any delay
IN searching for a book or any other order
that may have precedence delays the deliy-
cry just that much. 1t is not we'll to calcu-
late on getting book in less than from ten
to fifteen minutes. but that is regarded as n
very quick delivery when it is taken into
consideration that in that time any one of a.
million DOCKS can be handed to the searcher
for literary light.
| 1t IS supposed to take four and half
minutes for the book cable to make the trip
from one station to the other when IL fs
running at full speed 1t is believed now
that experience has been gained in the man
agement Of the device to so rearranpa y
that a half or full minute might be saved.
But that would REQUIRE extensiva recon-
struction.
The service is not only used extensively by
the Senate and the House of Representa-.
tives, but also by members of the Supreme
Court of the United States. About one
third of the law library is now in the new
library building. two-thirds of 1t being in
the basement of the Capitol This division
of the collection makes necessary MANY or
ders from the justices to the library build
ing.
This service is in operation at all times
when either Congress or the Supreme Court
is In session. On busy days about 400 books
are sent for in a day. The leather cases
are large enough to permit the carving of
tiles of newspapers, and newspapers from
all parts of the country in that form are
constantly being delivered to the Senate
and House. Another frequent order is for
city directories of various cities, as an adj
dres Is occasionally wanted and the direc-
tory is the quickest means of getting 1t.
AT some time place will be set aside in
the Capitol for a small reference library to
contain the books most called for. The
library, consisting of about $500 yoIumes
has already been secured and Is ready 10

calling forth favorable comment from the
senators and representatives who wish to
secure books at short notice. Sometimes 1t
develops in debate that certain information
is needed to turn the tide of arguments that
are being used to affect legislation. A state
ment is made for or against a measure, and
one of the leaders who Is watching the pro-
ceedings is convinced that the facts do not
warrant what is being claimed by the oppo-
sition. But his recollection Is vague. He
must have something definite before he can
contradict the speaker,
Wants the Book Quickly.
It is then that he turns to the million
books in the library across the plaza. He
dispatches a page to the library station that
was established within the Capitol building
eight years ago with a note stating just
what he wants to find. Sometimes he can
cite the book in which the information can
be had, but that is not always the case 1t
is for the official in charge Of the station to
get the Information. He reads the note and
telephones at once TO the library any spe-
cial message that Will facilitate getting the
necessary volume. AT the same time he dis
properly filled out calling for the book, in
order that the record of the transaction
may be complete.
A cable railway running under the plaza
from the Capitol to the library is used to
send the books back and forth. This rail-
way Is in tunnel about feet high and 5
feet wide. 1t gives ample room for the
miniature suspended tracks and for a re-
pairman TO walk. Books are deposited In
leather cases about the size of a dress suit
case, cases being started, IL desired from
each end of the cable at the same time

mel, and while on that level they travel at
the rate of coo feet a minute or at the rate
of a mile in less than eight minutes. That
is less than eight miles hour. or rot
nearly SO fast as automobiles are permitted
to travel through the streets OF this city.
But the speed Is so great that were the
cars carrying the cases of books allowed to
enter the stations at each end without being
Stacked down, there would be disastrous

would be brought to a sorry end For that
reason an automatic attachment slows the

of the cable. so that the case of books is

to no such subterfuge, and his fate seemed

art. One was a study in black, gray and

BERNARD Karfiol,

there is scarcely g studio in Paris where
Kardfols name is not known. Not long ago
a. critic went so far as to remark: since
Whistler's death there Is only one contem-
poraneous artist whom find interesting:
Bernard Karfiol-'
Short as II still IS, the career of this
gifted American boy Is so full of striking
Incidents as TO read like romance. Vasari,
the Plutarch of the early Italian artists,
had to invent the widest yarns to make
his characters interesting. like the dis
nroved story of Fra Fflippo Lppfs kidnap-
nine, by pirates or Andrea del Sarto's al
legged theft Of the King of Frances money.
KarfoIs biographer need only adhere to
facts in order to spin tale more credit
a',le and no less thrilling.
Bernard Karfiol grew up In the Green
point district OF Brooklyn, n. T., about as
prosafc an environment as it would be pos
stbie to find HIS father, Benjamin Kar-
fiol had artistic talent which he had been
unable to develop, never having had les
son, However, some of Benjamin Karfiofs
attempts at engraving were so fine that a
specimen having come to the attention OF
Emperor Franz Josef, the latter or
dered from him map of all Austria to be
done on medal. This difficult task was
executed with wonderful accuracy by Ben
jaTnin Karfiol, and the medal Is now in the
imperial collection at Vienna.

This inherited taste for art spoke strong

he loved to roam about and make sketches.

their expressions from quizzical became in

round said, That is the way TO paint

that I had been at the school, and Jean

me many personal questious-how old 1 was.

1t was said that he had never before asked
such questions. And finally. he said to me.
You must go on painting, thing which
he rarely encourages anybody to do.

Meantime even before the greatest mod
ern French masters had given him what
they could in the way of learning, Karfiol
had won his first tangible success. In 1863
when still sixteen, he had two pictures ac-
cepted at the Salon of the Artistes Fran

From yesterdays phil'a Record.
The United States Grand Jury yes.
terday indicted Stanley Francis, f.
G. Marin and William H. Lattimer,
on charges of conspiracy in connec-
ton with the Storey Cotton Company.
The jury, however, refused to inGict
Mrs. Sophie Beck, the stenographer
of the company, who left this country
for Europe shortly after the downfall
of the concern. A number of wit
nesses were heard, but their evidence
could not convince the Grand Jury
that Mrs. Beck had anything to do
with the management of the Storey
Company or that she was the repre-
sentative of Frank c. Marin.
All the others were indicted with
out delay. The Government may
now consent to the postponement of
the Francis case, which would have
been tried Immediately after the dis
posal of the Lear case next week. The
United States District Attorney and
the Post Office inspectors are said to
know where they can put their hands
on Marin and Lattimer, and if this
is true, all three defendants indicted
