FRENCH ARTISTS QUEST.

Crosses At1aHttc to Find Lost Beauty.
Pretttest 0iYl's Picture Els Clew.
With a Photograph snapshot TAX
en- by himself in suburb of Paris-of
girl whom he describes as ''the most
beautiful creature In the world" Ju-
liam Dupree, distinguished French
artist recently arrived at Philadelphia
in search Of the original that he may
paint her portrait, says the New York
Press.
For nine months DupCee has given
himself up to this quest. He says that
IN all his life he never saw young
woman so 1T to inspire a painters
brush. He enthusiastically declares
that should he paint the girl he would
have achieved the greatest triumph of
bis career. Already Dupree has visited
Egypt, having heard that the young
woman had gone there with a party of
tourists.
Dupree first saw the young woman
when she was looking at the tomb of
Napoleon. He was entranced by her
beauty, and ON the spot made a draw
Ing of her. A few days afterward Du.
pree and a friend were in a suburb
making photographs. AS they walked
By the roadside an automobile passed.
A short distance ahead the machine
stopped at fountain, and the first per.
son to alght was the beautiful young
American. AS she stood drinking Du-
pree snapped" her. Then the auto
raced away.
Dupree gave himself to hunt for
the girl. he sought her In all the
cafes and made inquiries among his
American friends. Then suddenly at q
reception in the American embassy in
Paris he caught glimpse Of the girl.
He hurried to seek an introduction so
that he might beg a sitting, but just
then the girl went with several others
to their carriage and was whirled
away.
Again Dupree started on his hunt,
and hearing that a. beautiful girl was
one Of a party bound for Egypt he
went direct to Cairo. He spent two
months in Egypt. but did not find the
object Of his quest. Returning to
Paris, he heard recently that the young
woman lived In Philadelphia, and he
at once went there.
The Frenchman Is thirty-fiye years
old, with Vandyke beard and a dis
tinctly artistic" appearance. He has
taken suit in the St. James hotel and
says he will remain indefinitely. He is
well known in Paris and London and
has letters of introduction from promi-
nent persons in both cities. Should
Dupree see the young woman he will
seek q formal Introduction and crave
the honor of painting her picture.

A BLOOD RED LAKE.
feculiarity Manifested By Sheet Of
Water La SwitxsEland.


water In SwitxeRland.
Lake Morat, in Switzerland, has a
queer habit Of turning red about two
or three times every ten years. It is a
pretty lake, like most of the sheets Of
water in that picturesque country, and
its peculiar freak is attributed to dis,
position to celebrate the slaughter Of
the Burgundians under Charles the
Bold on June q, 1476, but the French
say that it bushes for the conduct Of
the Swiss, who in that battle gave the
Burgundians no quarter.
This phenomenon, of course, has its
legend. The old fishermen of the lake,
who catch enormous Ash called silures
that weigh between twenty-five and
forty Kilograms, say when they see the
waters Of the lake reddening that it Is
the blood of the Burgundians. As a
matter of fact, some of the bodies Of
the Burgundians killed IN the battle
were thrown into the lake. while others
were tossed into a grove filled with
quicklime. This historical recollection
angered the Burgundian soldiers Of the
victorious armies Of the republic in
l79S SO much that they destroyed the
monument raised in honor Of their
compatriots who fell heroically in that
battle, and Henri Martin very Justly
reproached them for that piece Of yan-
dalism.
It would hardly do to attribute the
reddening Of the waters Of the lake to
the blood of the soldiers of Charles the
Bold. The coloring is due simply to
the presence in large quantities Of little
aquatic plants called BY naturalists Os-
ciliatoria rubescens. The curious thing
about It Is that Lake Morat is the only
lake In which this curious growth u
developed. 80.

The British battlesiip Dreadnought
was heralded far and wide as the most
destructive fighting machine in the
naval armament of any nation. hut be-
fore work upon 1t was hardly started
the United States naval officials came
to the front with plan for a vessel
(which John ShHrp WILLIAMS suggest.
ed should be named 'Skeered O Moth,

the British monster with comparative
ease.
The Italian government is now at

ing machine that will make the
Dreadnought look like a toy. The
proposed Italian vessel will have a
main battery of eight 1876 inch guns
each firing 1850 pound shot, which
means that it can throw $3.50 pound
of steel more at each discharge OF
the main battery than can its Hnglish
rival.
Another point in tavor of the Jtal-
Ian vessel Is the arrangement Of the
big guns. They are 50 mounted that
they may be fired either singly or as
a broadside, this result being gain.
ed by placing four turrets, each con.
tanning two guns, at the four angles

one aft and the others ON either
