MAKING JAPANESE GARDEN.
Nature, Taste Of Artist, Personality
Of Owner, All Taken Into
Confederation.

Many a wise man from abroad has
said Of the pictorial artists, as well
as Of the masters Of landscape garden
ing In Nippon, that the one master 70
whom they go for lessons and guild
ance Is nature They are wrong as
critics in general, and the imported
ones In particular are apt TO be, wfites
Adachi Klnnosuke. in Country Calen-
d8r.
The landscape gardener in Nippon,
like all our artists, serves two mas
ters-nature and bis own personality.
With Us the mere copy OF nature Is lit
tle Detter than a caricature OF a good
and great thing; natural scenery
should be seen and appreciated In its
original state as the gods had left II
on the canvas Of their own choosing,
on the same ground that you should
never see a counterfeit Of a MASTER
piece Of painting.
Nature plus the man Is the beginning
Of art in Nippon. Sometimes the land
scape gardener In Nippon is called
upon to serve three masters. Added TO
the fidelity OF nature and the play Of
his Individual taste, he is called upon
to take serious thought unto the per-
sonality Of the owner Of the garden
And perhaps that is the reason why
the art Of landscape gardening is con-
sidered, with US as one Of the most
difhcult Of fine arts A mans garden,
like his dress and his library, must
nrst be a mirror OF his personality.
The tale It would tell when the
friends OF its master came to see It
must be about the master himself
Il must tell this story not only in the
terms Of art, but SO plainly, too, that
the guest. looking at the garden and
pleased with the beauty thereof, would
only see in what pleasing terms its
author has interpreted It's masters
personality through It all The chief
thing which a good garden ought to
show to the eyes Of men ought to be
the man and not the garden Itself

sPoILs OF ANCIENT EGYPT
The Oldest Piece Of Sculpture in the
World Recently Brought
to Light.

Among the spoils Of the last seasons
campaign by Prof w. NJ Flinders Petrie
and his assistants Of the Egypt explora-
tlon fund is a remarkable sculpture.
probably the Oldest - the world Itwas
found at Wady Maghara Sinai. where
hitherto the difficulties Of maintaining
camp In the desert five days camel
journey from Suez had prevented any
serious excavation
The sculpture, which would probably
not be accepted by the committee Of the
Royal academy If sent in for exhibition,
represents King Semerkhet Of the first
dynasty shifting down a Bedawi shelk,
after the manner Of kings about 1900
b. G. Above that is a figure Of the gem
eral who commanded the expedition.
This is by no means the most remote OF
the discoveries There is, for instance,
collection Of fiints used for working
turquoises out Of the sandstone. prob
ably by the Bedouin in a period about
10000 b. C. They show several types Of
which the hammers, the larger scoring
flakes and the small flakes with point
are the most distinct
Among the most interesting relics are
the Roman objects found at Oxyrnkhos
by Drs Grenfell and Hunt. They in
clude some specimens Of the most beau
tiful colored glass, the arm Of the Aphro-
dite grasping Cupid, limestone female
head Of remarkable type and a large col
lection of bone and ivory dice. Wher-
ever the Roman soldier went there are
always found these primitive gaming
instruments and they are precisely the
same as those in use to-day.
A sphinx. bearing inscriptions in an
unknown script, excites curiosity. and
the presence Of a good hieroglyphic in
scription as well as the sphinx shows
that these were not done as ignorant i'm
itations Of hieroglyphics, but that it is
a definite system Of writing.

STORY OF HISTORIC GEM.
Diamond That shone in Royal
Crowns and Swords Stolen
by Thieves.

The Pitt diamond was first employed.
after It became one Of the crown jewels
OF France, in the ornamentation Of the
crown that was made Tor the coronation
Of King Louis XIV. in 1872. In 1891
IL was entered In an inventory Of crown
jewels that was compiled by order Of
the national assembly during the revo-
luton and II was deposited at the Garde
Meubel after the assembly had deter
mined 70 sell il II buyer at a suitable
price could be found But no offer was
made, and 50 II happened that in Sep
tember It was stolen with other jewels
by a band OF men who broke into the
Garde Meuble. II was secreted by the
thieves IN a hole in the timber work Of
a garnet in a low lodging. and there IL
remained some time. II was at length
discovered by the republican authori-
ties and deposited in the national treas
ury.
II was not again disturbed until 1904,
when 1t was set in the pommel OF the
sword which Napoleon wore when be

jewels to Blois, after Emperor Napoleon
was banished to Elba, but her father.

II from her and sent 1t to Louis XVIII.
That king, on Napoleon's return from
Elba, fed with it to Client. but after
Waterloo returned with it to Paris. In
1880 the diamond was used by King
Charles X. at his coronation, but since
then It has not been employed at any
ceremonial. Shortly after the fall OF the
second empire many Of the crown jew

The danger attending the use and
wearing Of adulterated leather IS not
perhaps fully realized. A Large amount
of the cheap leather is weighted with
glucose and barium, especially the lat
ter. so that when the weight test is ap-
piled, such adulterated leather may
pass as frst-quallty material. Leather
50 treated, however has the peculiar
quality Of absorbing moisture freely
and retaining It to an extreme degree.
The result is that a boot made Of this
chemlcally-treated material is in
actuality never dry. Even in the driest
weather the perspiration Of the feet is
sufficient to render the footwear dan
gerous. as such natural moisture acts
upon the inner sole and collects there.
