JAPANESE ART.
The Elements That Make It Eternally
Attractive.

From the Atlantic
The oriental artist does not so much seek
| TO transcribe nature as to suggest her
| moods. His interest is centered In the
poetic, sentiment which she elicits. The
| saying of the japanese that a picture is a
Voiceiess poem is particularly appropriate
| TO their landscape painting. Our best ar
] lists also seek to express the poetry OF ma
| ture But they find 1t in many things. Our
aesthetic pleasure in landscape is a COM
| pick one. The oriental, on the other hand
| In conformity with his type of mind. finds
| 1t In the dominant character-in that which
| remains when all its accidents are eim.-
| mated; In other words when II has been
| slmpllhed and idealiZed. For landscape
| painting, to quote our Japan, Sc critic once
| more, is not loved because it is fac
| smile of the natural scene. but because
| there Is something in it greater than mere
accurate representation of natural forms.
winch appeals to our feelings, but which
we cannot express in words"
The Japanese, with their natural I'M
| sophisticated view of life have ever sought
| IN their art to mirror what a great painter
ana critic has termed mems primord al
! predictions. Art however that seeks
| to embody pleasures founded on the un-
| changing properties of human nature must
| nave n past as well future must be
able to look backward as well as forward
Not one lifes labor but that of MANY gem
| erations is required No people have bet
| ter understood this than the Japan Sc They
| nave also clearly perceived that no art that
| is not true to the changeless element In ma
can endure; while on the other hand any
| subject, however trivial can be made eter-
| nally attractive. If only treated in accord
| ance with aesthetic law
| Japanese painting delights us by its deli
| cate Iancy Its poetry It's freedom its spirit:
out what gives these qualities special and
| enduring charm. what makes the play OF
! 1ancy never wearisome. the liberty never
| mere Incense, is that they find expression
| IN ana through framework of d sign so
! finely conceived that in it we see reflected
| as IN mirror the fundamental PRINCIPLES
| which govern all true art

Poisoning From White Lead.
From Public Opinion.


FOR some time in the past a bitter strug-
gle mas oeen IN progress in many European
countries between the employers and the
employees in the painting trade. The cause
of this contention is the use of white lead.
which, the men say, jeopardizes their lives
and health, and which the employers claim
is harmless. From time to time the matter
has been taken up by various labor organ
lzatlons, but there seems to have been ma
little or no progress in the right direction
Recently, at the request of the National
Federation of Painters of France. NJ
Edouard Sattler of the Vie Illustrie OF
Paris investigated the matter. and if seems
to have been proved beyond question that
the painters have the right on their side
M Satter illustrates his art Gle with
many photographs of men who have been
permanently disabled by the use of white
lead In paints, one of the photographs even
showing us the body of a painter who
died from lead poisoning while NJ Sattler
was making his investigation. The conclu-
sion to be drawn from the facts presente ed
is that white lead is a poison which NAV
enter the body in various ways the chief
channel, however, being the digestive tract
When a workman. for example whose
hands are covered with white lead smokes
cigarette or eats his food with his hands
in this condition he fntroduces.n to his
body certain quantity of lead. But there
are other channels of almost equal imror-
lance such as the respiratory organs, and
experiments have shown that when an an
imal lives in an atmosphere filled with lead
dust there are soon produced LESSONS of the
lungs. In addition to penetration through
lungs, stomach, digestive tube and mouth
the lead may also enter the body through
the skin. When the skin is dry it does not
seem to have been established that the lead
enters the organism. but when the skin is
moist or torn or scratched the lead finds
an easy ingress.
The results of the lead poisoning are
paralysis and atrophy of the nervous sys-
tenn varied cerebral disorders albuminuria
of the kidneys with all of it's consequences
and SO forth. By far the most serious re-
suits. however, are in the domain Of
heredity

The Bad Habit of Staring.
Epson Clarke, in Leslie's Weekly

nate Epson Clarke, in Leslie's Weekly.
The naughty and scornful stare is the
most common among the rich; they have
usually little curiosity. 1t is almost i'm
possible to arouse any special interest in
them regarding any natural object or any
invention. a.
Among the middle class, so called any,
thlng out of the common is enough to rivet
the attention. A man or woman excep-
uonaliy we'll dressed enters car, The
eyes of dozen people fellow the harmless
person to his or her seat and remain glued
there until something new occurs to sum
mon elsewhere each empty mind and row
ing glance. If, instead, the newcomer is
not well dressed, but very Ill dressed. or
over showily, two dozen people take up
the matter. and there is a general concen-
tration of regard, and, in most instances,
without any apparent consciousness of inn
propriety, upon the object of interest
1t may be that the japanese those mar
wells of courtesy, are not entirely free from
the custom of staring; but it is the univer-
sal testimony of travellers that In that flow
cry land there are never any unkind nor
even prolonged regards cast upon those to
whom nature has been cruel. Children there
are taught that no attention should be paid
to the deformed stranger. 1t is doubtful
whether this point is often seriously con-
sidered in the rearing of American chill
dren. 1t evidently fails to receive the
proper amount of emphasis.

DISEASE AS ANT1DorFs.
How One Malady Nay Be Strengthened
by Another.

That one disease may either strengthen or
weaken another when both are present In
the same organism, seems to have been es-
tablished by recent experiments carried on
In France and reported in the Archives de
Medicine Experimental. From an abstract
in the Revue ScientifQue 1t appears that
the effect is due to an action of the germ
of one disease on the toxin Of the other.
and not to a mutually destructive effect of
the two germs or OF the toxins secreted by
them. Says the Revue:
Every one knows the property possessed
by microbes OF manufacturing toxins. But
1t Is much less generally known that mi
crobes are equally capable of destroying
toxins. that is to say, Of making them in
nocuous by naturalization.
"A bacterium Is immune to its own toxin,
in certain degree, but can not neutraliZe
its effects on other organisms. Immunized
animals, In certain cases, are SO by means
OF an antitoxic power possessed by their
juices. But microbes of a determinate spe-
ctes may act in very different way on the
toxins of other microbes, as shown by the
results of Messrs. M. GARNER and G. Sabar-
neau. In some cases the action is rein
forced as In that of the bacillus of Eberth
and the toxin of tetanus, of the bacterium
OF malignant pustule and the toxin of
diphtheria.
The toxin of diphtheria is destroyed by the
bacillus of Eberth and the tetanic toxin by
i the bacterium of pustule."
These facts are asserted by Messrs. Gar
nier and Sabaneau the strength of ex-
periments with guinea pigs. That the bac-
terium acts directly on the toxin they be-
lieve to be shown by the fact that a mix
ture of the two toxins OF pustule and
dlphtherfa does not weaken the strength of
either. The reviewer, however. seems to
doubt the validity of the methods by which
this result Is attained. Another curious fact
which they regard proven is thus stated:
Under the influence of the pustuIe bac-
terium the tetanic toxin loses its power to
produce tetanus, but not on it's toxic power;
1T acquires different and non-specific tox-
lefty causing feebleness and DEATH, COM
parable to that of Ehrlich's toxones, but
due to transformation of the primary tox-
lefty. For a mixture of the two toxins
neither of which is able to produce tetanus
because the one has been enfeebled by the
pEstule bacterium and the other by exposure
to the air., will destroy the ability to produce
tetanus, provided the attenuation has not
been carried on beyond thirty days, when
all toxicity disappears. Here is a fact of
Importance for the calculation of the anti
toxic mechanism of the action exerted by
the bacterlum on the TOXIN

The Front Porch.
From the Atlanta Journal.


The country is being edited nowadays
from the front porch. For some seven or
eight months of the year the front porch,
like the platform of the street car, is of use
only to get in on. But during the good old
summer time 1t justifies its proper purposes.
The front porch now ceases to be the mere
threshold of the home. 1t becomes sitting
re ON, nursery, library. 1t Is the hearth
stone transferred to the open. Here the
family sits and solaces itself. InoffensIve
gossip floats about And wisdom also Here
is the forum. Grave problems are sorted
and settled. And laughter has Its place
If you would know the average American
family in its normal stage watch IL as II
sits on the front porch after supper. AMIGA
bly, criticising its neighbors or discussing
family or state affairs. laughing at the play
OF children-good humored satisfied with
itself. optimistic. And If you watch close
enough the play of sentiment is not lacking.
1t matters not how pretentious or how hum
bic may be the front porch. 1t may proxi-
mate the luxury of a great veranda or II
may be only stoop, or few steps. Here,
as the sun goes down, foregathers the fam
lily. In America the front porch rises to the
dignity of an institution. Although it is not
one of the things for which the fathers
fought, 1t is parcel of us. And 1t is as po-
tent in its day was the town meeting in
its day. The American front porch provides
that which Americans need as much as any
relaxation. The strenuous life has no
place on the front porch.

The Largest Civilized Nation.

The United States is by far the largest of

China has 350,OO0.0OO, but she does not
count In a calculation of this Sort Owing
TO the rapid growth of the United States,
the English language Is now spoken by
more persons than use any other civilized
tongue Charles said he spoke German
to his horse, French to men. italian to his
lady friends and Spanish to God. In his
days. three and half centuries ago, Spain
was land on which the sun never set,
England was only small spot on the map
and the English language held only a minor
place in the civilized tongues. Today $780,
100000 of people speak English. 100, 600, 600

the empire talk the national tongue), TO-
GOO use German. 70,00O,0OO employ Span
ish. including the Inhabitants of the Latin
american countries. and 4O.0OO0O0 speak
French.
Moreover, the lead for English is rapidly
iengthening. Nearly two thirds of ali the
people who speak the English tongue are

Forcing Spiders to Spin.
From the London Glob

from the London Globe.
Certain green ants in Queensland which
also make their nests of leaves and flowers
spun together, are said to keep spiders to
spin for them. Whether these latter do 1t
spontaneously, or require to be held the
larvae of the other species. does not seem
to have been determined. In the devices OF
these ants there is surely of natures
hints to human inventors. Since the days
of the spider artist in the University of
Lagabo, spider silk has been a dream. The
difficulty of It's realization has been chiefly
the pugnacious nature of the spider. which
prevents them being kept together. But a
machine has been invented which seems TO
overcome the difficulty. 1t is described as
a sort of frame containing twenty-four
miniature guillotines. the blunt knives Of
which descend on the waists of the spiders
and hold them fast. A number of the
threads are secured together on a hook and
slowly drawn out.

How Emerson Impressed the Guide.


New York man fond of passing much
of his time In the Adirondacks tells a
story with reference to a visit made to
that picturesque region by Ralph Waldo

Emerson had enjoyed his stay immensely.
Once some one asked this guide known
as Steve" what sort of an impression
the sage of Concord had made upon the
natives. Wen, SIR obligingly responded
of him; as nice a chap as you'd care to see
pleasant and kind And he was a schol-
ar, too, allus fggerin'. studyin' and writin'.
