TRICKS FINE PICTURES
FEATURE OF SHOW

Owing to the position it occupies in
: New York clubdom and through the
activities OF its committee on art, the
Union League Club is able 10 get to
sether for the monthly exhibitions that
are a feature Of its winter season re-
markedly fine groups Of paintings. But
not even the collections shown last year,
which were lent to the club by W. A
Clark, the former Senator, can compare
with the eighteen canvaSses that Henry
&. F'Tick mas ILnt The club for lis cur
rent show. The paintings make % FTou-
ably the finest gToup or pictures ever
publicly shown in one room IN IhlS clty'
and their intrinsic value IS set down as
something more than $4,000 1heIe
is visible evidence of their great value
in the room where they are shown IN
the presence of a uniformed MEMBER OF
the fire department, a novelty surely
at such exhibitions.

MYSTERIOUS MONUMENTS
OF ANCIENT FRANCE

When we left Vannes we went by the
most direct road 20 Auray, about a half
hours run, and there turned southwest
toward Carnac down By the coast,
which we reached about an hour after
leaving Nannes. We were eager TO see
the Druidical monuments known as
Menhirs and Dolmens, the great stones
OF NEUROLOGICAL age. These and the
Giant Causway, which we visited later
IN ireland, are two Of the most won
derful things in the world-One created
by man and the other a creation Of Ma
ture- The hotel manager at Vannes had
given US little may which enabled us
TO go dire city 20 the most intefes
part of these enormous fields of rock
taking in PlOemel and Plouharuel on
the way.
The story of these stones-as to what
they are; what kind OF people put them
there; why and when they were put
there-has never been told, and prob
ably never Will be. They are practically
as prehistoric as the formation of the
world itself, and we drove our motor,
q symbol Of the latest creation Of man.
out on the moOrs among these tokens
OF the musty ages, a feeling unlike any
thlng which we had ever felt before
came over the entire party. Here was
an illustration of the spanning of time.
Here on the very spot where the first
known labor of man IS exhibited stood
also his last DrOductiOn-one the work
Of people unknown, the other the re
ton on earth
The pyramids Of Egypt have a history
which has been unraveled and written
by archaeolOgtsts- Pompeii Is relative
~ modern. the statues Of Rameses and
the art Of the Nile are as open books
compared with the history of these
great rocks.
The Menhirs and DoImens are scat
tered all abOuE the section south OF
ARRAY, but down near CaTnac there are
three groups set upon lines as straight
as a modern engineer could draw them
and forming nine or ten avenues. There
are S74 in one of the rows, $50 IN an
other, and 262 in a third; il is said there
were 5000 originally. The stones
which are equal distances apart, vary
in height from three to twenty feet, the
largest having an estimated weight of
forty 70 fifty tons, There is no stone
OF the same geological formation found
nearer than 800 miles, ard the mystery
of their being placed here viii probably
never be solved

BALLOON EXPERIENCES.

Ballooning. delightful as 1t is in some
OF fits aspects, is not al beer and sl1it-
ties. Capt. Charles DEF. Chandler, win
ner Of the Lahm Cup and one of the
contestants in the recent international
race from St Louis, says that he and
his companion, in the course of their
long flight. were fired at thirty time by
farmers. according to Leslies Weekly.
The balloons frightened their chickens
Some OF the shots struck the balloon,
but did no damage because OF the long
range. Poultry. even at night, seemed
TO have q sense of the passage of the
balloon, making an OuJcry of alarm,
which could be heard by the aerouauts
The moonlight which prevailed during
the race produced beautiful effects by
It's shining on masses of clouds below
the voYagers. All scientific records for
low temperatures were broken during
fhe flights from st. Louis. One instru-
nent which reached an altitude OF
nine miles. recorded q temperature OF
III degrees below zero, the lowest nat
1Iral degree of cold OF which scientists
have any knowledge Up to a certain
altitude the temperature decreased one
degree for about every 200 or 800 feet.

GRAIN CROPS
OF COLORADO
PROFESSOR oLIN TELLS DENVER
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ABOUT THEM.
CAN FEED Her STOCK
MAY SHOW HIGHEST YIELD PER
ACRE OF ANY OF THE
STATES.

Inc recent address of Prof w II
olih OF the State Agricultural College
on the SUBJECT of The Grain Crops of
colorado, at the Denver Chamber of
Commerce luncheon, was a revelation
10 those present of the possibilities
oi COLORADO as an agricultural state.
ana especially as a grain state. With
the growing Of grain Colorado can feed
her own stock. instead of shining
TO Kansas and Nebraska to have il fat =.
tened
BY diligent and persistent work It
Is possible in the near future for MS IN
place Colorado grain second TO none in
quality. and in yield per acre place our
state first in all the Union" said Pro
iessOr Olin.
I'm the first place" he said. Colo.
RADIO can grow quite variety of grain
crops. because we have all the varic-
ties OF climate one would observe in
passing from North Dakota to Texas.
ms is largely due to the altitude in
which our agricultural lands are
formed, reaching from $500 feet to
timber line. And the highest altitude
where grains can be grown In this
state has not yet been determined"
A''N'nNt 'llll HhNf HbHlf 9lSs'n-
tions as to what grains may be grown
In various parts OF the state. For this
purpose he divided the state into three
crop zones. as follows:
First. lands without irrigation where
grain Is being grown-thc arabic
lands above the ditch"
Second. lands under the ditch" be.
low 5000 feet elevation
Third. lands under the ditch" above
5000 feet elevation.
Both spring and fall wheat are grown
in all three zones OF the state, the
spring variety being better suited To
withstand drought and therefor" more
extensively cultivated In the higher al
titudcs.
The farmers. says Professor Olin
are waking up to the value of barley.
II may be grown at almost all attitudes.
and the yield is large. In some cases
reaching 100 bushels per acre. At pres
ent It is about all consumed as feed on
the stock farms of the state. but soon
It will he necessary to find an export
market
Flax will soon become permanent
crop in the state. 1t has been tested In
the east and central portions OF the
plains. under direct attention of Pro.
fcssor Olin. and the result mas been
satisfactory The yield has been above
the average ranging from eight to
fourteen bushels per acre.
Corn. kafir corn and field peas are
also extensively grown. the value of The
latter ms n food for sheep having
greatly increased its production in the
past few years. The yield. Professor
Olin believes. can be made to equal
that OF any other part Of the country
and to surpass most sections. The corn
is of excellent quality. but 1t is not ex.
tcnsivcly raised for the reason that
other more profitable crops may be
produced where corn grows well.
