great Dutch masters genius. The con-
trast is as beautiful as It is striking. Da-
vid is typlfled as a handsome youth pcs
sessed of energy and manly vigor. Saul
is an old man with a long beard and
face marked with lines of character and
care. His expression shows that he is
both pleased and inspired by the strains
of the young talented harpist.
A rival to this picture Is a painting OF
Homer. 1t Is a broad and mastery work,
Homers countenance being lighted with
inspiration as he dictates his verses to
the sound of the Tyres.
This Is one OF the several galleries that

Another attractive collection is found In
the Municipal Museum: II includes small
antiques. medals. porcelain. glass and
worthy collection of pictures.
The Dutch are as proud of their par
lament buildings as of their museums,
Here the Peace Conference was held last
year. The Dutch government, like our
government, has two houses. The mem
bers of the Senate are housed in one

Of considerable attractiveness and well
adapted to accommodate large reading
and studying public. The library Is un-
usually large, containing more than 6o0'-
600 volumes. There are number Of rare
Bibles and prayerbooks. Another valuable
collection are the coins, medals and gems,
which includes some 800 rare and beautl-
full canoes The finest are the head Of
Hercules, the bust OF Bacchus and
Faun trying to steal robe from a Bac-
chante.
The Hagne has more ane houses than
has any one city In Holland They are
nearly all OF brick. and though few
of the oldest ones have strange facades
and curious roofs. the newest have slant
mg tiled roofs. large windows OF heavy
polished slate and board verandas. Most
Of the houses have gsrdens Some Of these
gardens are large and filled with the
beautiful hoEers that have brought
wealth and recognition to Holland. An
other attractive feature OF these homes
are the gerandas-they are exceptionally
broad and often surround the house.
An addition to the veranda Is the sum-
mer garden or sun parlor. Here the fam.
lily gather for afternoon tea and take
their meals In warm weather.
The exterior OF these houses gives little
Idea of the splendor and beauty found
within. The woodwork is often OF costly
rosewood and mahogany, and the floors
so highly polished they shine like mir
rors. The furniture is heavy and hand
carved, and the walls are hung with
fine paintings and etchings.

Both of these great halls are decorated
with beautiful mural frescoes, carved
woods and upholstered chairs. The hall
occupied by the Senate is vast. The

There are few more prepossessing build
ings at The Hague than the Royal Pal
ace, which was built In the time Of Stadt-
holder William Ill. Before the palace
stands a splendid equestrian state OF
Prince William l. Of Orange in bronze
The pedestal Is handsomely decorated
with the arms OF the seven provinces.
Though the state rooms are rather simple,
they are furnished In excellent taste. The
ballroom has few that surpass It except
ing In the palace at Amsterdam. The
ceiling is decorated with splendid mural
paintings and the walls are set with
costly marbles. The palace Is surround
ed by rather unpretentious gardens and
several hne streets. At the north end
of the street begins the Williams Park.

street. danked on both sides with mod

be made to travel at any speed desired,
power being furnished by its own electrl
cal motor, and this serves to draw the
models through the water. Upon this car
riage. or, If preferred. upon the model OF
the ship itself. is placed the delicate
mechanism destined to record the power
In pounds needed to draw or pull the
model through the water. 1t also records
the distance Travelled and the time con-
sumed The presence of disturbing
draughts or currents. no matter how
slight, Is duly recorded 30 that by taking
this data an engineer can work out with
the utmost accuracy Just what engine
power will be needed to drive through
the water at any desired speed vessel
built on the lines of the model whose per-
formance be has watched.
The models of ships which sail up and
down this unique waterway vary in length
from ten to thirty feet. The entire sur
face of each model is OF parafin wax, 1t
being claimed for this substance that 1t
does not change its weight by absorbing
water and that 1t Is easily cut and readily
nodded to permit of alterations that may
be suggested during the experiments.
Moreover, the wax eau be melted and
remodeled an Indefinite number Of times
The original framework of each model
is of wood. This Is covered with canvas
and then the aparaffin is applied to form
a complete coating. The parafin is put
on, at the outset. somewhat more thickly
than Is required, in order that 1t may
be smoothed. first By machinery aud later
by hand until the water line and craught
OF the little vessel are exactly what are
desired.
Considerations of speed are, perhaps. the
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-25

most important regarding which the sx-
perimental tank is called upon to give
advance, information. To ascertain all
conditions In this sphere a model is put
through the PAGES, so to speak--that Is,
towed up and down by the carriage at
several different rates of speed. Resist
anees, which are likewise important, are
determined by means Of the extension
of spring on the principle OF ordinary
hand scales, the amount OF the pull OF
the spring being recorded In pounds on
revolving cylinder. On the same cylinder,
timed to turn In accord with the speed
of the carriage are registered time and
distance diagrams, which enable a cor
rect registration Of the rates Of speed.
The model basin ls also utilized to try
out models OF propOllers which. as is well
known, have a very' important influence
upon the speed of steam-driven vessels.
Various styles Of propellers are tested
separately and the one that shows the
greatest equivalent In power OF propul-
sion In proportion to the force or power
applied is adopted for the ship undercon-
sideration. In short. this novel expert
mental tank enables our naval authorities
to determine ID huVahce greht many
things about ship capabilities that In
the old days were purely a matter OF spec
ulation until after warship had had her
trial trip. The tank and the experiments
conducted there are under the personal
direction Of Naval Constructor d. w. Tay-
lor, one of the ablest officers In the Navy
and a man who takes the keenest interest

easy task to make broad and attractive
streets on account of the dams which
cut the city in a number OF places.
Wherever 1t has been possible they have
been widened and Strengthened and
shaded by double row Of trees. -
The chief business street is the Lnnge
Pooten, which begins near the Plein
and 10 the continuation Of the Spin

Then there are splendid equestrian

Another handsome boulevard starts at
The Hague and goes to Schevingen. 1t
is intersected by roadways for the troll
ley, horse car and carriage road. A most
picturesque sight are the old-fashioned
horse cars patroniEed by the quaint
Dutch fsherwomen dressed In their pic
turesque gowns--women who prefer the
simpler way of going to market. Some
years ago Schevingen was a simple Hsh-
ing town, but the beauty OF the coast
has made OF 1t wonderfully popular
and fashionable summer resort. All
along the road are many modern homes
with beautifully arranged gardens, while
In Schevingen there are many hotels and
attractive cottages, and a Kursaal out
on the sea, where concerts and theatri-
cal performances are held. The quaint
fisherfolk and the Splendid beach have
made Schevingen, which Is really a sub
urb Of The Hague.

Uncle Sam cannot claim to have been
n pioneer In the introduction OF an ex-
perlmenta moiel basin. Such institutions
were established by several European
governments some years previous to the
Installation at Washington, and one pri
vate shiphulldlng firm in Scotland. real
izing the advantage conferred by such
tank had provided one for It's own use.
The tank at Washington is proving use
ful not only to the government, but also
to great number of American citizens.
Any person can have the model OF yes
sci tested for speed or other qualities on
this marine trial course, and most of the
speedy yachts built in this country during
recent years have had their performances
forecasted in this manner.
The governmental tank is 300 feet in
length. 40 feet wide and II feet deep. 1t
is kept filled with fresh. clean water, and
the building which covers the entire tank
excludes all drafts, while the water is
kept as free ms possible from currents.
At the side OF the tank Is a miniature

countenances are depicted the real bour-
geoisie, the common everyday life and
for this reason this picture is considered
bS many Rembrandt's masterpiece. The
group is so natural, true and interest
ing. that although the eight men are ex-
ceedingly different, a common purpose
dominates the picture. The theme Is In
the whole dramatically represented. 1t is
the triumph of truth in art. The central
theme of this large canvas is that of
Professor Tulip and the subject upon
whom he is operating. The light falls

Of superb lines, which Is enhanced by
luminosity, an indescribable nrmness of
tone, a transparency among the shadows
that are marvellous.
This, picture was bought by King VIII
liam for $1,000 hourins, though 1t could
not be had for a million today.
Simeon In the Temple. which was found
in the Louvre during the first empire, Is
an older STUDY than the Lesson in Anat-
omy. Rembrandt painted 1t as early as
1881. The picture possesses a wonderful
warmth and lovely transparency. Few of
the great Dutch masters works have
more genuine feeling. The face of the old
man is brilliant with light, 1t Is splendid
with Its inspired expression and long
white beard. The Virgin has a modest,
sweet expression dressed as she is in a
simple blue robe. The group OF figures In
the background are simple and well
drawn. The Rembrandt collection is won
derfully fine and extensive.
On one wall is a portrait of the master

aimed to depict the character found In his
countenance rather than give expression
to good looks. Nearby is a worthier pic

ere the ful-Hedged contrivance is put

The best feature Of the operations Of
this experimental tank Is that 1t per-

the expense of building the actual vessel.
By means of wooden mndels-that are
somewhat suggestive in appearance Of
the toy boats in which children take de-

of the different styles OF vessel may he

Just how full-grown ship of the same

Here are seen a wonderful collection,
representing Dutch history. the most in

a copy OF the peace of westphalia.
On the north side is a most attractive
building with large bay windows over

and includes many Of the foremost Dutch
authors ih Its membership. Strangers are
only admitted through the invitation of
members
Close by, between Plein and the vyver,
Is a large house standing alone. 1t over
looks the open court on one side and the
dam on the other. This large and hand

@HE HAGUE, besides being known
A for its beauty. is admired because
- It has been made attractive In
spite of certain limitations. Though
an old city. It is cut by so many
dykes and dams that 1t has been
no easy problem to solve how
to make It attractive. Many OF the
streets have to serve a double use OF
sidewalk and thoroughfare. The most
crowded are really wharves for the un-
loading Of freight and the docking OF
boats. The Hague was originally hunt
ing resort of the Counts of Holland ana
was called the Counts Enclosure or the
Hedge. These hunting grounds were so
extensive and beautiful that as early
as the middle of the thirteenth century
they were made the chief seat of Dutch
rule Later 1t was denied a seat In the
Dutch government and so remained
village until Louis Bonaparte, when rui-
er, granted 1t the rights of town. But
in spite of the limitations put upon the
town the beautiful dense woods and It's
central location helped TO develop the
town with small effort.
Everywhere the streets are paved with
good, strong bricks, even when the streets
are so narrow that two can only pass
with difficulty.
Though the city has grown until all
parts are alive with noise, one OF the
great open squares, called the Pieln, Is
now the chief center of traffic. The
square is adorned with a statue Of Prince
William |. in bronze. In one niche Is
figure of the Prince with seated statues
of his wife and daughter on either side.
The statue is surmounted by Justice
holding a flag in one hand and a scroll
IN the other On the pedestal are In
scribed the favorite words Of Prince Will
liam l., ''saevis tranquillus in undis'
(the wise man Is tranquil in hours of
disturbance). The pedestal Is also
adorned with reiefs illustrating important
incidents in the Princes life.

As has been said, the beauty of all thir
is that 1t permits peep into the future
that is well nigh Invaluable. The man
who builds a house and who decides

~ Il l. officials of the Navy Department
a Mt Washington are very busy just now
W. preparing the plans for the battle
ships most recently authorized as addi-
tions to the American Navy Ere President
Roosevelt made his memorable request
to Congress for the money to build these
ships It had been determined that the
new fighting craft should be record
breakers in every respect. The naval ex-
perts are now bending every energy to
make them come up to expectations and
they have had an additional incentive
TO outdo all previous efforts In the critl-
cisms that have recently been leveled
against some OF the features of our ex-
listing battleships. Spurred on by the
picking OF flaws In the floating fortresses
that had long been regarded as practical
ly perfect, the naval architects and en-
gineers are exercising every precaution
to provide for every up-to-date adjunct
IN the new mistresses Of the seas.
In designing warships under present
day conditions Uncle Sans sharps have
the assistance Of an institution regarding
which the public hears almost nothing,
but which is, nevertheless, one of the
most important cogs in our naval ma
chine. This is the experimental model
basin, situated at the Washington ID.
c. navy yard. The basin. which was
constructed only few years ago. oc-
cupies a brick building constructed espe-
cially for 1t. and this unique plant Is
the scene Of almost ceaseless activity.
The model basin provides an obIong
sheet OF water or artificial lake in which
models or miniature copies Of warships
or other craft are tested by being pro-
PEELED through the water at varying
speeds under practically the same con-
ditions that their prototypes will en-
counter when they go into actual service
on the high seas. Nowadays almost
everything from harvesting machinery
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-25

to make radical changes in battleship de-
sign after work Is under way. The naval
people must know just how they want
warship constructed before the keel Is
laid down, and. indeed, before the ship
builders Of the country are Invited to
submit bids for doing the work In the
case of the battleships now receiving at
tention, the lessons to be learned from
the performances Of the tiny boats In the
experimental basin will be taken to heart
ere the plans are drawn or the speeihca-
tions prepared.
