I'd found him in the college professor

bed instead. But that fellow was dis.

put his foot up In a chair to tie his
shoe and then. forgetting what he did
It for, would put the other foot up in
the chair and stand up in it. Then /
met a woman who confessed to look
Ing absentmindedly In the back of her
hairbrush instead Of her hand mirror
when she wanted to see the back of
her head. and 1 thought she had gone

the king Of the absentminded world

Mountains.

There used to be held In accordance
with Mnrchlson's well known geolog-
zeal views the general theory that
mountains were mainly due to cracks
which took place In the surface of the
earth In remote periods, but this idea
is no longer entertained by scientific
men. AS to the form of mountains.
that which is known as table mountain
finds the best example, curiously
enough, DIT the Capeaef Good Hope, a
mountain, it Is believed due not to
any action9or pfenomenon Of npheaval,
but to tile sinking Of the surrounding
districts OF territory. Why these pc
cullarly defined areas did not sink was
owing, 1t is thought. to the probable
fact that the ground under them cooled
before the rest of-the section. and thus
the table mountain had the earlier
Foundation and has long retained its
place. There would always be aenuda-
ton. however. though proportIopate
with its surroundings, and therefore,
owing to this fact Of being higher at
the start, 1t still keeps to its approx
mate elevation.

Three models" the artist told a
friend. were lost during the making
OF 1t. 1t became next to impossible
for me to finish it.
Il had sketched out the plan and hae
practically completed the figure of the
old man in the grotto. Then begar
work on the figure of the girl. Tho
model selected was a particulars:
beautiful young woman and one who
understood to a nicely the methods OF
my work, for she posed for me fol
nearly five years.
''The picture was begun in the spring
and / had been at work on the wo-
mans figure barely a week when my
model stayed away one day to go on
yachting trip, From this she never re.
turned. The boat capsized, and all on
board were drowned. So true to the
subject of the painting was this Incl
dent that turned the canvas to the
wall, unable to continue the work.
More than year passed, and one
day the old gentleman who posed for
the other figure asked me about the
picture. explained to him that / had
been unable to continue with the work.
After some reasoning he persuaded me
to get the canvas out. L added a bit
to his figure and decided to continue
the work, after persuading myself that
this morbid state of mind caused by
the incident OF year previous was
more or less due now to bad case of
indigestion.
THE next day / began work with a
new model. Scarcely two weeks had
passed when this girl caught cold in
my studio, was stricken with pneumo-
mia, and before the month was out she
died.
Horror stricken, turned the can
vas again TO the wall and declared that
never again would l touch 1t.
MANY times would / look at It and
long 10 complete it, but the work was
at such stage that a model was nee
essary, and my superstition conquered.
So ! refrained from taking UP the
brush. Eaas
zone day many months afterward /
left model alone in the studio. Her
curiosity prompted her to look at some
canvases stacked against the wall.
This one took her fancy. She saw 1t
was unfinished, and, to my amaze
ment, when returned the picture was
standing on the easel.
81 want to pose for that she said,
as 1 entered
but 1t is impossible. Neither you
nor any one else shall e:er pose fo-
that Picture
But It is great subject. You
must finish it-you must!'
$50 insistent was she that finally
yielded, and she posed for me. l never
saw model 50 interested in the prog.
ress of a painting. She could scarcely
wait to see It finished. AT last it was
completed, and rejolced to think that
it was done without further fatality
But III that was mistaken, Almost in.
credible as it may seem, six months
later, when that painting was hung on
exhibition, my last model died from
burns she received in hotel fire.

The suggestion that New Jersey is

many years the references to 1t were

idea came from condition under

out of the railroad receipts 81 should
be paid into the state treasury for ey-

praiseworthy prudence that has raised
