CROWDS VIEW PAINTING.
Artley's Pursuit Of Pleasure" o.
Exhibition at Kann's.

All day long immense throngs of visit
ors have nocked to the fourth floor Of S.
Kann, Sons & Co.'S store on Market
space. to view Astley's remarkable pic
ture, THE Pursuit OF Pleasure" which Is
there on exhibition under high artificial
light in a room especially screened of
for the purpose. To some II is very
pretty TO others Just a bit wicked
but to the thoughtful art critic it is truly
a remarkable production. Over a path
way Of rudy glory. lighted by the new
moon and her torchbearer and led by
Dawn. with her varied trains of flower be-
girt maidens. madly rides young GEN.
turion in a chariot drawn by four fiery
steeds on the brink of perdition. where
stands the dragon in the glow OF a fiery
glare from the precipice beyond calmly
contemplating the scene.
Behind the mad rider in pursuit OF
pleasure lie the follies and frivolities Of
Rome. and even Nero with a companion
may be seen bringing up the rear. In the
foreground are three beautiful allegorfcal
figures whose graceful lines are but scan
tily obscured by the most delicate Of
drapery. its de,ineation alone being
work of rare art. A vestal virgin whose
spotless garment typifying purity has
turned to the color OF fiery flame typifies
forgotten vows and duties. Her lamp
that should be trimmed and burning is
dark in her hand. A bacchante whose
cythara has been laid aside lies prone on
the earth while her sister looks in won
derment from the bath at the strange
cavalcade.
In the air are the spirits OF the night
whose queen with starry forehead swings
the censor as the maddened coursers ny
on their way to destruction.
The color effects are strikingly unique
The PIC .ure is one of beauty and thought
Many stood beyond the usual time i'm the
effort to decipher the gifted artists

road or real estate, Is certain to change
in value. either to increase or decrease In
thirty or fifty years, and II in this change
the property steadily decrease. the bond
holder watches his security becoming less
and less. but he is helpless to do anything
except sell at loss If his bonds have
long time to run. Whereas the ordinary
mortgage on real estate is for so short .
piration of the period an examination 10
had. an appraisal made. and II tho prop
erty is found to have shrunk in value the
mortgage is either called and paid of or
reduced In amount at the option OF the
investor, or II the property is found to
have appreciated in value the mortgage 10
left undsturbed for an indefinite period.
OF course. the most important factor In
any investment Is the proportion which
the value of the property bears to the
amount of the loan This proportion. al
though absolutely necessary to ascertain
before one can stamp an investment as
sure and safe, is practically impossible to
discover in the case of large railroad or
piece of real estate in q large city it Is
very simple matter. The most accurate
way OF obtaining conservative estimate
Of the values Is through the medium Of an
tive appraiser. Such an appraiser will
have in his plant complete records Of
sales. mortgages. leases, contracts and
rents Of property within a certain locality
for period of many years. so that he
can ascertain with accuracy the history of
the value Of the real estate in the section
in which is situated the lot under ap-
praisal. To reinforce the investigation Of
the appraiser the investor or his repre-
sentative can examine the records and as
certain at what prices property in that
particular vicinity has been bought and
sold. The property itself can then be ex-
amined and the rents may be aecertained
from the various tenants. In figuring the
value Of property the amount OF taxes. re-
pairs and the expenses should be deduct
ed from the amount of gross rents. and
the result the net income) should be
about 10 per cent Of the value of the
property. Again. the assessed values are
of record and these are known by one ex-
perienced to be a certain percentage Of
the actual value. varying with the local
ity. In addition the affidavit Of the owner
amount OF rents may he obtained After
making these simple Investigations and
relying especially upon the appraisal Of a
well known conservative appraiser. tho in
vestor will reduce the risk Of investment
to the minimum. In addition to the Sc
curity afforded by the mort gage. the in
weston will reduce the risk OF the ipEcst-
may readily he investigated through the
medium of a commercial! agency.
The mortgage is not only NOR" stable
than corporate securities, but 1t has the
additional advantage OF costing the in
weston no commission or other expense. as
