Hustace Willing to Keep On.
Hustace insisted that the resolution
was out of order. but Archer thought ii
was very much in order. Hustace an
nounced that the law was that If the
Supreme Court held the Municipal Act
void the present County Board would
hold over until the Legislature did
something, or for two years. Archer
said he didn t want TO hold over, unless
he was elected again. He urged that
the proclamation required by the Coun-
tv Act should be issued; then if the
Supreme Court held the Municipal Act
valid the proclamation could be with
drawn, and no harm would be done. On
the other hand if the Supreme Court
knocked out the Municipal Act the
proclamation would be good and the
election of county officers could be held
in the regular way, and there would be
no break in the government.

Deputy County Attorney Milverton,

The cost of publishing the proelama

luton.

sentences. and while some of the published
answers failed to contain all the letters of the
alphabet most of them were free from this
fault and many were very clever
From the lists submitted the following have
been selected as being the best:

free from repetitions of any letter. 1t is.
however, open to the criticism that proper
names are used, and rather fantastic ones at
that. The sixth contains repetition of
consonants, and only two vowels. A and U,
are repeated. The only objection to be
raised against its claims as the best sentence
is that its meaning is somewhat obscure. The
fourth was sent in with the information that
it obtained second prize in a contest fifteen
years ago" Here. too. there are no con-
sonants repeated and only five repetitions OF
vowels. However. the fifth is shade superior.

of remarkably good sentences to choose from.
it is difficult to select the best, and it will
remain purely matter of personal opinion
until some genius springs new one that will
fulfil all the requirements.
The Longest Word
FROM the shortest sentence to the longest
word is a remote but natural transition.
A word is usually much shorter than SEN
tence; but one would find it very much easier
to remember any or all the foregoing SEN
fences than some of the words occasionally
seen. In his "Ecclesiazusa." Aristophanes
makes use of the great grandfather of all jaw
breakers, employing a word of one hundred
and sixty-nine letters to describe a dish
which it seems is a kind of potpourri of every
thing in the animal and vegetable kingdom,
from shark to onions. In print the word
looks like few lines of pied type, and an
attempt to pronounce it quickly would prob
ably prove disastrous Even Hypothetical
question pales before it.
The Latin and German languages, particu-
1arly the latter, are also famous for their
tongue twisters, which are fortunately rare in
English. Shakespeare. however, made use OF
fcabilitudintatbus, word which, to
those who are familiar with the works of
Richard Hovey, will recall his lines from
Barney McGee":
"Facile with phrases of length and Latinity,
Like norifcdbilitudinity,
Where is the maid could resist your vicinity
Wiled by the impudent grace of your plea?"

L should commit many errors -
of fact, is hardly cause for
wonder. Rather, it is astonlsh-
ing that they are not found oftener at fault,
in view of the great variety of knowledge
required in their work. Despite this, how
ever there is no manner of excuse for certain
absurdties.
For example, there is the case of an English
painter who depicted elaborate rainbow.
Unfortunately, he painted 1t wrong side out
But we forget amazement at such stupidity
in admiration for the artists magnificent
audacity when we learn that he charged twenty
pounds additional for repainting the rainbow
colored in accordance with Natures arrange
ment.
Painters are very prone to distress the
astronomers by their reckless pranks with the
eavenly bodies. particularly with the moon.
One artist presented scene IN which was a
crescent moon low in the eastern sky, directly
opposite setting sun. Moreover, this genius
disdained the criticisms of the learned; he
insisted that this arrangement was necessary
for the composition, Inasmuch as the rest OF
the picture would be destroyed by full
moon,-the only one possible in such situa-
ton.
Other artists have trihed with the moon by
turning its convexity away from the sun.
which is, of course, impossible IN Nature In
picture, the moon was placed near the
constellation of the Great Bear though as
matter of fact the satellite never ventures into
this part of the heavens. There are, too, oft
recurring errors made in the bulk of the orb.
An American astronomer amused himself by
measuring the moons in number of paint
ings He established the fact that by reckon
ing from the satellites size the average height
of the hills in these landscapes was forty-three
miles. One of the mountains indeed had the
stupendous altitude of one hundred miles.
Turner has been accused of untruthfulness
in his paintings; but his changes from nature
were deliberate, done with artistic purpose.
Thus, in his pictures of Hastings and of Dover,
he doubled the actual height of the hills in
them from the sea.

Some Old Time Mistakes

A RTISTS of old time were often outrageously
wrong; sometimes necessarily by reason
of the limitations imposed by the ignorance
of the period. A Dutch artist painted the
Garden of Eden with well clipped borders
and yew trees trimmed into fantastic shapes.
He wrought in all innocence; for of such sort
were the only gardens of his experience. But
the excuse does not apply to a Dutch painting
of 1904 This showed Abraham about to
slaughter Isaac by means of a blunderbuss,-
the product of age three thousand years
after the time of the patriarchs!
Yet this mistake occurs again and again.
There have been elaborate paintings of the
children of Israel crossing the Red Sea, with
muskets on their shoulders. A beautiful ivory
tankard an Augsburg carving of the early
seventeenth century, sold for high
price in London not long ago. The design,
which is exquisite in workmanship, shows the
Good Samaritan, with his attendants, in the
Jericho road. One of the servants carries a
gum
Many child, as well as older persons,
has puzzled over that beam" in the eye of
which the New Testament speaks. 1t Is not
always understood that this means a beam
of light But it was left to Solomon Bernard,
in his woodcuts illustrating the Bible pub
as one of wood, rectangular in section, and
several feet in length!
The matter of costumes offers vast oppor-
tunity for flaws, which the painters have not
failed to seize. In the National Gallery at
Edin burgh Pharaoh's daughter and her ac-
companying women are exhibited CARRIED in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-11-01

ture of Joseph and his kindred in Egypt, where
the buildings shown are not at all Egyptian
in their style of architecture, but distinctly
Italian. In the same gallery Paolo Veronese S
The Family of Darius at the Feet of Alex
ander After the Battle of Issus" displays the
women of the group in the pointed waists
and inflated skirts that made the familiar
dress of Venetian women in the painters time.
Errors that have to do with armor may be
more readily pardoned, though the artists fail
lamentably in knowledge as to the earlier
forms of metal protection. Thus in some
paintings showing the time of Christ, the
warriors are seen clad in beautifully damas-
cened mail. Yet this form of armor did not
come into actual use until half thousand
years later.
Similarly, in other pictures of Christs time,
monks are portrayed in their robes with
tonsures. In fact, however, they did not
exist in the church prior to the fourth century
A. ID.
THE Last Supper"
A CURIOUS illustration of the limitations set
on genius by circumstance is exhibited in
one of the worlds most famous paintings, The
Last Supper" Leonardo da Vinci simply did
not know that the table, the cloth, the plates,
the knives and forks, and salt cellars were inn
possibilitie in the scene he designed to por-
tray. The Eastern people of that age who
were his subjects used no table, chairs, no
forks; but squatted about a common dish
and ate from it with their fingers
In an allied department of art, the stage is
not always exact in its presentation of man
ners, costumes, and scenery But it is striv-
ing nightly to attain to accuracy, and it is
indeed already nearly perfection in compari-
son with what it once was. A curious old
copperplate engraving shows Mrs. Hartley
in the Character of Cleopatra" The actress
wears a hoped petticoat, over which is a
pannier skirt, with long train, and ornamented
with loops of artificial roses. The stiffest of
corsets imprisons the waist, while her head is
graced with an Earl's coronet, whence streams
an ostrich plume.
But of such absurdities there is no end in
the history of the stage. 1t is, however start
ling to find gross faults still perpetrated in the
most ornate and pretentious of present day
productions, those of grand opera Prima
donnas sometimes array themselves according
to their own imperious wills, and defy the
historical proprieties their roles impose.

Colby Notes..
Sophomores Z; Freshmen 6.

The annual baseball game between
the entering class and the Sophomorcs
took place on Alumni field yeSterda V
afternoon beginning at about 10 min
utes after two
The crowd was composed mostly of
students though quite a few towns
people were present
The Freshmen showed up wen in
practice before the game and started
off with a rush, scoring four runs in
the first inning. The whirlwind start
took the Sophomores off their feet for
a while but they steadied down and
in the third inning they evencd things
up little by scoring three times.
No scores were made in the fifth but
in the sixth both sides scored, 1911
three times and 1912 twice and the
score WAS tied. The Freshmen in the
meantime had been supplied with a
horn and this was "tooted" frequent
ly but the Sophomorcs refused to ac-
cept the challenge as the horn rush
was abolished last year by a vote of
the class.
The next three innings resulted in
zCrons for both classes and an extra
inning had % be played, something un-
usual in s. Il ':i:urt Freshman games.
Lander, Jordan and Michaud were up
for 1912 but couldn't connect and with
one man out Applebee clinched the
game for the SophomoreS.
In spite of their defeat. the Fresh
men left the field blowing their horn.
Both teams played very good ball
and thc game was much better than
for the last three or four years.
Some very good material was shown
no in the new class and the varsity
is bound 90 be strengthened a great
deal next spring.
Harley Dawson. who has coached
the Colby baseball team for the past
two years. was an interested spectator
of the game.
