 At this few rose and went out. but the majority retained their seats. Then O'Connell said:
 'I will tell you the truth. You are Irishmen. therefore brave men. The floor is giving way, and we must leave this room at once. If there is a panic and a rush to the door we shall all be precipitated into the room below, but if you obey my orders we shall be saved. Let the twelve men nearest the door go quietly out, then the next twelve. and so on till all have gone. I shall be the last to leave"
 His instructions were obeyed to the letter, and he waited, patient and calm, till all had gone out in safety. Then he walked quietly across the sunder- ing, cracking floor, reaching the door just as the shattered beams gave way. And thus, by the force of his strong will, terrible accident was averted.

PAINTERS BLUNDERS
Reckless Franks Played With
 Heavenly Bodies.
IMpnSSIBlLlTIES IN NATURE.

/ Rainbow Depicted Wrong Side Out
 ard Moons In Positions and Forms
 That Could Not Occur - Amusing
 Ansehronisms by Old Time Artists.
 That artists, like authors, should commit many errors of fact is hardly cause for wonder Rather, 1t is as tonishing that they are not found of tener at fault in view of the great variety of knowledge required in their work. Despite this, however, there Is no manner of excuse for certain ab- surdities.
 For example, there is the case of all English painter who depicted an elab- crate 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 ne charged f2O additional for repainting the rainbow colored in accordance with natures arrangement.
 Painters are very prone to distress me Dy tbSll iSNhiCo' pranks with the heavenly bodies, par ticularly with the moon. One artist presented a scene in which was a crescent moon low In the eastern sky directly opposite setting sun. More over. this genius disdained the criti- cisms of the learned. He insisted that this arrangement was necessary for the composition. inasmuch as the rest of the picture would be destroyed by a full moon-the only one possible in such situation.
 Other artists have trifed with the moon by turning it's convexity away from the sun, which Is. of course, i'm possible In nature. In one picture the moon was placed near the constella- ton of the Great Bear, though as q matter Of fact the satellite never ven lures into this part of the heavens. There are, too, oft recurring errors made in the bulk of the orb. An American astronomer amused himself lby measuring the moons in a number Iof paintings He established the fact lthat by reckoning from the satellites size the average height of the hills in these landscapes was forty-three imiles. One of the mountains, indeed ! had the stupendous altitude of hun f dred miles.
 ] Artists of old time were often out rageously wrong, sometimes necessari ly by reason of the limitations imposed by the ignorance of the period. A Dutch artist painted the garden of Eden with we'll clipped borders and rew 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 Dutch painting of 1194. This showed Abraham about to slaughter Isaac by means of blunder- buss-tbe product of an age 5000 years after ths rime 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, was sold for high price in London not long ago. The design, which is exquisite in workmanship, shows the good Sa- maritan, with his attendants. in the Jericho road. One of the servants carries gun,
 Many a child as well as some older persons has puzzled over that beam" in the eye of which the New Testa- ment speaks. It is not always under stood that this means beam of light But 1t was left to Solomon Bernard, In his woodcuts Illustrating the Bible, published at Lyons in 1858, to picture this beam as one of wood. rectangular in section and several feet in length
 The matter of costumes offers vast opportunity for flaws, which the paint CTS have not failed to seize In the national gallery at Edinburgh Pha- raoh's daughter and her accompanying women are exhibited garbed In the long waisted bodices and hooped skirts of Europe in the sixteenth cen tury. The national collection in Lon don has picture 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 Alexander After the Battle of lssus" displays the women of the group in the pointed waists and infiat- ed 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 knowl- edge as to the earlier forms of metal showing the time of Christ the war riors are seen clad in beautifully da- mascened mail, yet this form of armor did not come into actual use until half a thousand years later.
 Similarly, in other pictures of Christ's time. monks are portrayed in their robes, with torsures. In fact, how ever, they did not exist in the church prior to the fourth century A. D.
 A curious illustration of the limita- tiors 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 impossibilities fin the scene he designed to portray. The eastern people of that age who were his subjects used no table. no chairs, no forks, bu. squatted about a common dish and ate from it with their fingers. -PittSburg Post

INVERTED A TRAGEDY.
Nerve Displayed by Daniel o'conneil

Daniel OConnell, the famous Irish agitator, had a contempt for physical danger. On a certain occasion a meet ing had been convened, and a large crowd assembled in room on the first floor of a building in small city in Ireland.
 O'C0nnell was about to address the people when gentleman. pale with fear, made his way to the platform and hoarsely whispered:
 "Liberator, the floor is giving way! The beams that shore it up are crack ing, and we shall fall through In a few minutes"
 Keep silent" said O'Connell. Then, raising his voice, he addressed the as- sembly:
