WaEner's Portrait.

When Wagner was in England super
vising the first production Of his operas,
the music enthusiasts commissioned the
artist Herl1omer to paint the musicians
portrait, but Wagner was dashing
about in such a state of frenzy that
he repealed impatiently every attempt
to get him to give a sitting" Still,
Herkomer stuck to him like limpet,
fed with him, walked and talked with
him, watched him conduct his orches-
ira, write music and read books. At
last, when every attempt to secure a
sitting had failed, HerkOmer rose
early one morning, painted with fren-
zied speed all day, spent short night
in restless sleep, rose early again and
painted furiously, till on the second
evening he sat down exhausted-but
with his picture finished. Wagner was
called in and threw up his hands in
amazement. "Ah!'' he cried. won

A singular device for the protection

says Prof. r. Dec. Ward in Science.
1t consists Of a wind-gage fixed at the

the wind-pressure reaches 80 pounds
to the square foot. an electric contact
Is made automatically, and bells ring
in the signal cabins on each side of
the viaduct. Upon this, all trains are
detained until the force of the wind
abates The interruption is telegraph
ed along the line. In February, 1907,

was recorded. The danger of very
high winds to trains on an exposed
bridge or viaduct was tragically Illus
trated many years ago by the lament

Uncle Sam has struck a blow at a
class of professional men peculiar to
Washington. An order has been issued
prohibiting United States government
clerks swelling their incomes by prac-
ticing medicine or filling teeth on the
side. 1t has for a long time been a
common practice for department clerks
TO attend night colleges, and, after Sc
curing diplomas, practice professions
after office hours. These so-called sun
down doctors, dentists, lawyers, archi-
tects. ETC., were able materially to in
crease their incomes. Protests were
made by regular members Of various
professions, complaining of the unfair
competition Of the landowners" who
cut prices. This has resulted in an or
der prohibiting clerks from engaging
in any outside business that requires
their personal attention while in gov
eminent employ.

A German astronomer has recently
published some interesting observations
on the theoretical effects Of a change

to consider the possibilities If the sun
were green, blue or red instead of what
it is. If it were blue there would be
only two colors in the world-b1ue and
black. If it were red then everything
would be red or black. If it were well

On both sides of the Atlantic the

effect in Great Britain, after the ex-

the new law provides that henceforth
all foreign patents in Great Britain
may be revoked, after a reasonable
time, unless the patented article is
manufactured or the patented process

the reason things are different hues Is
that some swallow up five of the colors
and reflect only one. Thus primrosea
are yellow because they absorb all but
the yellow, roses red because they alb
serb all but the red, viOlets purple be-
cause they absorb everything but red
and blue, mixture Of which two col
ors forms purple.
In the event of the sun being red
roses, blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. So also would snow, the lily and
all things that are now white, but these
would, Of course, be red. Everything
else would swallow up the red light
and appear quite black. Grass, for
instance, would be black as ink. and
so would the blue of the sky, but the
white clouds would be red. The same
kind of thing would happen if the sun
were blue. Everything now blue or
white would be blue. The grass this
time would be blue, not black, for it
reflects both blue and yellow. Hair

would be black and the rest of the face

If the sun were green there would
be little variety. Things that are
now yellow would still be yellow. things
that are blue would be blue and things
that are green would still be green, but
there would be no reds, puppies, orange
pinks or any Of those CHEEKY hues that

According to the Washington Post
the call for fiction in the public libra
ries Of the capital has fallen off IS
per cent. The newspaper says that this
decrease has been noted in many other
cities. Novel reading has gone through
a great period Of dissipation. 1t look
ed for time as If public libraries were
endowed and maintained for no other
purpose than to supply fiction, the
greater part Of it worse than useless.
It was discouraging to those who wish
ed to see a marked improvement in the
average Of intellectually because Of
the spread of libraries. But the tide
has turned and heaven be praised for
that. The quality of the greater part
Of the fiction which has been coming
from the presses of the publishers in
the last few years has been markedly
inferior. Novel readers became Cham
berized, MacGrathiciZed and McCutch-
eonated until life, itself, to many, was
cross between a cake walk and a
scene in the boudOir of her grace, the
Princess of Wurtenberg, or other. A
lot Of the stuff which was advertised
as Observation-Disclosures clever In any
case--had about as much history in
it as one Of Grimm's. And the rest Of
1t was the froth of soapbark and wind
which druggists sell in glasses. If
there is a reaction 1T is a thing to be
blessed Reading fiction Of the type
which usually wears q red binding is
often very restful. If one cannot be
amused by the characters there is at
least amusement in wondering at the
author who could write such drivel.
But continued absorption of modern
fiction has the effect Of eating too
much candy. It is bound to sicken in
time. A demand for material more Sc
rious is in line with the more serious
thought Of Americans. Nearly every
one is coming to have special interest
along certain lines and there is a need
Of literature which delivers infOrma-
ton succinctly and clearly. The pub
lie libraries must supply the more ex-
pensive and elaborate works which
readers cannot themselves afford to
purchase When the bottom drops out
of the Harold School of Fiction, there
will be still room for the good and
worthy style of noyel-mOre room, per-
haps. Then the libraries can use the
discards for the purpose nature intend
