A REMARKABLE BENEFAcToR

A curious and interesting story is
told concerning Benn Wolfe Levy,
the noted public benefactor who died
few days ago. Some years ago he
was visiting the London hospital, and,
seeing men in red flannel dressing
gowns, he asked Sydney Holland why
they were so dressed. Mr.. Holland
told him that they were prepared for
operation; but owing to the fact that
there was only one operating theater it
was doubtful whether there would be
time to do all the operations The
cruelty of preparing men for operations
with all the anxiety involved to the
patient, and then having to postpone
them, appealed to Mr.. Levy, and he 1T
once drew a check for e13,OOO, which
he was told would build five theaters
and ultimately increased the amount to

The unusual and interesting photo
graph used on the front cover page,
1.-The Herald of the South Wind,'' made
by Mrs. w. E. Neipp, portrays a feel
ing of poetry and sentiment which be-
speaks the true artist, and this anna
teur photographer will no doubt be
heard from later on in this field of art
as having attained a prominent posi-
tiOn in the profession.
That real artistic feeling is seeking
expression in many who find the
camera their first means of realizing a
pol trayal of that inner sense of beauty
in line and form, is to be seen and
recognized more plainly every day, and
with every recurring amateur photo
graphic contest. In the photograph
used on the cover page last week there
were qualities that appealed to all true
lovers of art, and few who have made
a long study of children's pictures,
either painter or photographer, could
produce a more charming picture, so
full of tenderness and love, and that
happy childish expression. The sub
ject, my Pets,'' was photographed by
Mrs. George Tackabury of Hollywood,
from whom we hope to see other SINH
lar ones.
Another reproduction presented here
with which will attract attention is
from a water color, by Esther Zoline,
a miniature painter of no mean ability
who came to Los Angeles about a year
ago. Her water colors are strong and
forceful in color and handling, and her
miniatures have a technique that is
most pleasing, and are altogether much
to be admired.

wrong in her. But because she knew
herself different, and because she felt

feared it. 1t was too big to take hold of
alone. And she was so alone; and
Harry was so strong, 50 matter-of-

had accepted him as naturally, and yet
as unreally, as she tool all hat life,

She didn't question now. She only was
shocked that so large d fact in her life
as her engagement could be completely
wiped out for a moment by a thing
so trivial. 1t was not wen the ring.
1t was the feeling she had about the
ring. Her imagination was always rum

night at the club. And here it was,
still uncurbed. speeding her forward
into fields of romance.
She went over whole dramas-im-

she walked up and down the long
windy hills, westward and homeward,
the blue bay on the one hand beaten
green under the rising trade" and
the fog coming in before her. With
the experience of the morning, and the
exercise and the lively air, her spirits
were riding high. From time to time
she had the greatest longing to peep
again at the sapphire, but not until

~ a ledge Of rock projecting out
Ag from the foot of the crater Of
Mt. Vesuvius, 1870 fet above the
level of the sea, stands d structure that
is unique among the buildings of the
world. For forty years prior to Sep
TENDER, 1896, q man lived and worked
there in the interest of science and for
the good of his fellow man.
This man, whose name was Luigi
Pa1lnieri, and who was known all over
the world, die September 10, 1896, but
he left to the world a record that will
live forever.
Professor Palmieri was the familiar
spirit of Vesuvius. The building in
which he lived was an observatory,
built for him near the crater in order
that he might closely observe all the
characteristics of this volcano, its
changes, its various conditions and it's
symptoms Provided, as he was,
with all the scientific Instruments
needed in his observations, many OF
which were of his own invention, he be-
came as we'll acquainted with the nat

mining engineer is with the deep shafts
that he sinks down among the coal
beds.
Every eruption of the volcano that
took place while he lived there was pre-
dicted by him, and. thousands of lives
were thus saved. He Knew every mood
of the mountain, and his instruments
showed every trembling of the ground.
During the fearful eruption of 1872 this
brave man never left his post, although
thousands of people fled from the viii
lagos at the base of the volcano.
1t is hard for us to appreciate the
splendid heroism of devotion like this.
The most vivid description of the etup-
tion could not possibly convey to our
minds the danger. the ~terrors of tie

the temperature at 1870 degrees in his
observatory, and the prospect Of ami
hilation confronting him, remained
there and witnessed 1t ell. All homer to
Luigi Palmieri, to whom humanity
owes more than towering monument or
tablets OF brass can ever repay!
1t seems strange, does it not, that
people should elect to live at the bass
of a mountain whose inner depths are
always throbbing with the pulsations
of a mass of red-hot lava? Time. arc
again have they been driven from their
homes; time and again have many lives
been lost in the seething flood that

seemed to her she had hardly felt
Harry slip 1t on her finger before they
had left the shop; that she had hardly
shaken off the musty inclosed atmos-
phere, before Harry had left her ON
the corner of California and Powell
streets-left her alone with the ring.
Still she didn't believe she had it, even
while she looked at the large lump il
made under her glove. She kept feeling
1t with a cautious finger-tip.

years. still stood d little off-made
him shine with greater brilliance, espe-
cially ia the eyes of these young
girls. 1t was hard, they seemed to feel,
that such an apparently remote and
difficult person should have succumbed
so easily; and now that a new lumin-
airy of equal lustre was apparent in
their sky, Flora felt their remarks a
little triumphantly aimed at her. 1t
was odd to her that they should envy
her anything, especially those one or
two exquisite flowers of old families,
whose lovely eyes saw not one inch
farther than her turquoise collar. And
the way they talked of Kerr, with
flourisheS, made her feel a faint, re-
%sponsive Irritation that he had talked
to so many Of them in exactly the same
way.
But between the threads of interest
the able group wove together, kept
flashing up her furtiye desire to be
away, to be at home, to see what had
happened to the sapphire. OF course,
she knew that nothing could have hap
pened; but she wanted 20 look at it, to
open the casket and see the flash of 1t
before her eyes. For was she quite
sure that 1t vas not one of those fairy
gifts, which, put into The hand in a

They were dining carry that night on
account of the BullersI box party, but
it was nearly s o'clock before Flora
reached the house. And it was, of
course, for that reason that she ran
upstairs-ran wildly, regardlessly, be-
fore the eyes of Shima-and along the
hall, her high heels clacking on the
hard floors, n through her bedroom
to the d-ressing-roon1 snatched open
the table drawer, unlocked the casket
with a twitch of the key-and, ah. it
was there! 1t was really real! Why,
what had she expected? She was laugh
ing at herself.
She was gay in her relief at getting
back to the sapphire, but at the same
time she was already wondering what
she should do about it hat night-take
1t with her or leave t alone? Dared
she wear it or her finger under her
glove? Clara might iotice the unfa-
miliar form of the jewel through the
thin kid. Harry's warning had been
phrased eonventlonally enough, but the
hints his words conveyed had expanded
in her mind--fear not only of Clara's
laughter, hat u a jewel had come
from d junk shop: but of her wonder,
