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:
Even lob, foxy pumpkin, cuts logs square
with an adz " (4I letters).
John quickly extemporized five tow bags.
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs"
(32 letters.
Go, lazy fat vixenl Be shrewd; jump

QUICK waiting zephyrs vex bold Jim"
(2o letters)
Frowzy quacks vex, jump. and blight" ."
(28 letters)
q Q. Plow might vex T. D. Burll's fancy"
(26 letters)
All of these examples will be seen to con-
tain the alphabet complete, and the last IS
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 repetitlonS of
vowels. However, the fifthiS a shade superior.
1t is easy to see how. even with this list

" The Last Supper"

A CURIOUS illustration of the limitations set
on genius by circumstance Is exhibited IN
one Of the world : most famous paintings. " The
Last Supper" Leonardo ia NInci simply did
not know that the table. the cloth, the plates.
the knives and forks. and salt cellars were I'M
possibilities in the scene he designed 70 por-
tray. The Eastern people of that age who
were his subjects used no table, no chairs. no
forks; but Squatted about a common dish
and ate from II 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 1t Is striv-
ing nightly to attain To accuracy, and II Is
indeed already nearly perfection IN comparI-

wonder. Rather, 1t 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 1Or certain
abSurdities.
For example. there is the case Of an English
PAINTER who depicted an elaborate rainbow
Unfortunately, he painted 1t wrong Side out
But we forget amazement at such STUPIDITY

ment
Painters are very prone to distress the
astronomers by their reckless prdnkS with the
heavenly bodies, particularly with the moon.
One artist presented a scene IN when was
crescent moon low in the eastern sky, dlrectIy
opposite a 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 tull
moon,-the only one possible IN such a SItua-
ton
Other artists have tritied with the moon by
turning its ConVeXIty away from the sun,
which IS, of course, impossible IN Nature. In
one 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 PANT

ing from the satellites size the average height
Of The hills in these landscapes was torty-three
miles One Of the mountains indeed had the
stupendous altitude of one hundred miles
Turner has been accused of untruthtulneSS
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
order to render more impressive the view OF
them from the sea

seen. In his Ecclesiazusae, Ar1StOphanes

attempt to pronounce it quickly would prob

The Latin and German languages, parucu-
1arly the latter. are also famous for their
tongue twisters which are fortunately rare IN
English. Shakespeare. however. made use OF

Richard Hovey. will recall his lines from
