DAILY WATCH BIG RED BALL
Employees of Chicago City Hall Much
Interested in a New Di-
version

City hall employees have a new diver
sion since the destruction of the old
county building, reports the Chicago
Daily News. 1t is watching the big
red ball which every noon makes a
quick and sensational slide down a
pole 80 feet high on top of the Ma
sonic temple. Every day two or three
minutes before noon the shining globe
is hoisted to the top of the pole, and
on the stroke of IL drops. At the
same minute the hands of 100 or more
watches in the city hall are switched
to indicate exact midday.
1t has been only since the old coun-
ty building was RACED that the workers
in the city hall could see the time ball
OH the skyscraper nearly three blocks
away. Now department heads, stenog-
raphers, clerks and chemists ell
through the city building engage daily
in watching the balls performance
and setting their watches by its fall.
To see the sphere let loose is an event
in the day and the windows from
which good views are obtainable are
as crowded each noon as the sta ton
platform of a Montana village on the
arrival of a transcontinental flyer.
ooh, pshaw!" says disappointed
young woman stenographer sometimes.
81 looked away just second and now
the ball is gone. / hope | have better
luck tomorrow
Some of the city employees who have
the habit of watching the ball confess
to nervousness and disappointment ii
they fail to get a position from which
to see its descent, and say they cannot
work as well afternoons or days they
are deprived of their noontime glimpse
of the descending sphere.

that nature puts on to interest with
her untirinS variety.
Not only is there variety in the
change of nature, but there is the
variety of the point OF view from
which she is viewed. This is the
great scale of proportion that is to be
tried, and the drawing of the same
clump of trees and pond or river or
fence with the horizon high or low,
the picture upright, square or long
and narrow, with all the degrees be-
tween. The cutting off of the top
line that the foreground may be aug
mented, the experimenting with the
placement of the principal group to
this or that side, or the center, in fact,
every consideration of the chosen
motif should be tried, not only for
the variety, but as the best way to
study proportions, to exercise fer
tility of invention and to guard
against that tiresome fault-conven-
tionality.
Beauty in Haystacks.
One of the great landscape painters
of France painted two haystacks
under such different aspects. His ex-
hibition was of great interest from
the nature students point of view and
from the artists. There was a score
or more of canvases from January
to December, from dawn to night. The
haystacks were painted through mist
and rain, under frost and sun, some
an hour apart in the moment of their
presentation and others months. It
seemed as though the artist had never
wearied of showing how many phases
of beauty his subject could take on,
and his exhibition showed that he did
not weary the onlooker, for one went
over this calendar done in haystacks
with untiring delight in the changes
and variety.
If we present subject as every.
one else has presented it there is lit
tie value in our presentation. The
story has been told before and we are
repeating it. But if we take, no mat
ter how commonplace the theme, a
subject that has been told again and
again, and give it in new light and
a new dress we at once claim the at
tention. This is the artists claim to
recognition, that he shows us our own
world through new eyes.
Treat Subject Thoroughly.
1t is meant that the student take
whatever material he may have and
pursue it to that end that he finds
interest in the study of proportion,
placement, balance and color, which
must come il that artistic tempera-
ment is existant.
Let the proportion of each mass of
trees, ground, pond or whatever else
composes the picture be weighed and
tried. Let the ground be as two
thirds to the sky, as three-ffths, as
four-fifths. Let the sky predominant.
Try proportions of fifth OF
sky, a fifth of dark trees to three
fifths of half-tone ground. Vary
the intensity of these with the proper
lions. 1t will be seen that the pur-
pose is not the treating of the SUBJ
iect in as many ways as possible for
the sake of producing a quantity Of
pictures, but by seeking to produce
the motive in every way in which it
seems to obey harmonious expression,
to cultivate the perception for beauty
to the point of finding beauty in the
most unpromising material.

The present article is suggested
for vacation or out of door work in
general, and is a step toward objec-
tive drawing as related to the fore
going work. Let US suppose the ord
mary case of the pupil in the public
school and not deal with the excep-
tional advantages of the few who can
seek unusually picturesque localities.
Most city boys and girls spend the
summer at home, with only parks or
the suburbs available for picturesque
material, or a short run in the adj
jacent country, and thus it is matter
of nice selection and appreciation
with which we are to deal. 1t may be
a consolation to them that it is pcs
sible to do more with a back yard
with much appreciation than with the
Rockies or grand canyons without it.

LAWS and Alexander Stewart, both col
ored, fought a duel, with 3s-calibre re-
volyers in the saloon Of Lizzie June on
Lime place Saturday night. One bullet
inflicted q flesh wound on Lewis left
wrist, while Stewart was hit in the
hip. ,>'
Doctors probed for the bullet in Stew
art, but were unable to locate it. His
condition is not thought to be serious.
Both men are under arrest and Will
be arraigned before Judge Campbell
Monday morning.
Jealousy over Lizzie June, the colored
proprietress Of the saloon. led to the
ARRAY. Lewis, some time pus'lIst'
who Of late has worked on lime klih'
enjoyed the inside track to Lizzie
June's favor for two years. Stewart IS d
pianist, and when he came here from
New York six months ago he not only
enliyened the social affairs OF the sa-
loon, but quite displaced Lewis IN the
affections Of the proprietress ana Dau
feeling Immediately arose between the
two men.
Last Sunday. Lizzie June requested
the authorities to remove Lewis from
her place. A few days later stewart
received a letter threatening his lie.
and he turned 1t over to City Marshai
Spear.
The affair came to climax Satur-
day night, when, according to Stewart )
story. Lewis called at the saloon ana
WI
what did you write me threaten
ing letter for?" asked Stewart.
"1'u show you." said Lewis, with an
oath, at the same time reaching Tor
his hip pocket.
Stewart promptly drew his revolver
and fired Ave times. aiming for the pu-
Riltst's shoulders. He did not know
that any shot took effect until informed
OF 1t at the police station.
Meantime Lewis returned fire ana
one Of his three shots struck Stewart
In the left hip. The arrival OF the po-
lice nut an end to the duel.
Lewis story differs In several essen
tails. He says he was passing the sa-
loon when he heard the occupants bull
doing the proprietress. He went to her
assistance and was contronted by
Stewart, who began shooting at MN
from the head Of the stairway.
Both men were in ugly frame of mind
