MISCoNCEPTIoN OF ART.
Edward n. Griggs Endeavors to
Show the True Interpretation.

The first of the course of six lectures on
art and the human spirit entitled The
Expression and Interpretation of Human
Life in Art was delivered by Edward
| Howard GriSEs, under the auspices of
the Washington Fairgrounds Association,
at All Souls Church last night. The
church was we'll filled with an audience
that followed the speaker with close at
tention throughout and warmly applauded
him at the close
Widely. among high and low alike,
he said. art is regarded as d pleasant
adornment of life. worth seeking only att
er the serious business of our existence Is
fulfilled. hut quite dispensable In the
meantime" He combated the idea that
art is justified only by its obvious moral
teaching, and said the reaction against
this view. as the result OF difficult technl-
cal problems which art presents, made
many artists fall into the equally untor-
tunate error of regarding art primarily as
an exhibition of skill, Interpreting art
for art sake to mean art for technique
sake.
Three misconceptions of tho purpose of
the fine arts are common. he SAID. Inc
best lovers of true art are often to be
found with score and pencil III the cheap
seats in the top galleries, while the cholcer
boxes and stalls are filled with the elite
great opera, or a great play as merely a
social function.
\ second miSConception, he said, Is a
puritanical notion anything which is en-
joya BILE is diSpleaSing to the divine, Whlch
results in a distruSt of anything that Is
enjoyable. The business of art. he said,
is not to teach didactic morals. The third
miSconception is found among artists who
hold that art is art and they are not sub
ject to the rule of any one who descants
upon it, hence the so-called healthy re-
action against RuSkin and what ne taught.
The result was shown in criticism when
the beauty of the art, the end, so TO speak,
was absolutely lost in the attention given
the technique, the skill of the NIoiinlst,
not the effect he produces Folks study
the technicals so long, he said, that they
lose sight of the fact that technique is the
means TO and not the end of art. The
body of art must hit the SOUL he said,
and concluded with the definition that
true art is the adequate and harmonious
expression and Interpretation of some
phase of mans $ life in true relation to the
whole.

WILL BE WINE FOR BANKERS.
The Brother Who Protested Got a
Firm Reply.

There will be wine served at the
dinner to be rendered the Georgia
bankers by the bankers of Savannah
at Tybee when the State Bankers
Convention meets at Tybee tomor-
row for three days session. There
is no doubt about this, as one of the
country members of the association
knows by this time. He wrote to the
committee protesting against the use
of wine. The committee replied
with much firmness to this brother.
They advised him that wine was to
be served, but that no one was to be
forced to drink it. He was told if
he didn't want to stay on the island
when the dinner was served frequent
trains to the city would give him a
means of egress. He was also ad-
vised that as the Savannah bankers
were the hosts on this occasion and
the visitors the guests, it did not
come in good grace for a guest to
criticise what a host served on his
table. The inquiring brother has
not been heard from since There
seems little doubt of the fact that
bankers will nave a chance to drink
wine at Tybee if they wish it, when
the banquet is served.

is MARS DEAD LIKE MOON?
PROF. TODD DISAGREES WITH
PROF. LOWELL ABOUT LIFE
ON THE RED PLANET.

The worldwide interest aroused
by Prof. chickering's proposal to raise
$10,0O0,000 to be spent in sending
light signals to Mars is bringing out
the views of other astronomers.
Few are better qualified to speak
on this subject than Prof Todd of
Amherst College. 1t was he who,
from the heights of the Andes, re-
Gently observed the rudy planet
with big telescope. Members of
his party took hundreds of photo
graphs of Mars. The photographs
have since been carefully studied
with the aid of the microscope.
The result is that Prof Todd is
skeptical about life on Mars. His
faith in it was not strengthened but
weakened He says, however, that
the known facts leave room for
every variety and shade OF opinion"
alfred Russell Wallace, the great
English biologist" says Prof. Todd,
reaches the deliberate, and to him
certain, conclusion that Mars is alb
solutely uninhabitable. And there is
much to substantiate his views. Lit

such conditions do not argue for hab-
liability, much less inhabitants.
In my opinion Mars has, ages and
ages ago-hOw many hundreds of
thousands of years we have no means
of surmising-supported and main
tanned life of some sort But the
probabilities seem immensely against
that life, or even a frazzled, wornout
remnant of it, still existing there
now. Mars is too near the small size
of the moon, and too advanced to-
ward the present stage of the moon
waterless, used up. fin
lshed-to stand much, if any, chance
of present day inhabitants.
The tiny spark that snaps from
your open fire-how soon it cools
and vanishes. A large coal rattles
out of the CRATE and stays red per-
haps for minutes, with life still in it.

! Very much so with the worlds of
| space-the little moon is cold and
dead. Mars, twice it's size, has trav-
eled long, long way on the same
cosmic road to planetary death.
Earth, twice Mars size, is at the
zenith of its DEMONSTRATING era
Jupiter, many times our size, is still
so hot that animal life like ours
cannot yet begin.
Our Andes photographs of Mars
in 1907 proved but tantalizing sug-
gestion of what might be under bet
ter conditions"
But if, after all, there are inhab-
itants on Mars the professor thinks
it would be almost impossible for
them to receive our signals or for
us to receive their answer, supposing
them to send an answer.
This is because of the earth's
thick envelope of air, more or less
filed with moisture and dust. To
an observer on Mars the earth must
look very much as the planet Venus
looks to us-a brilliant object in the
sky, but with a surface forever in
visible because of it's thick, mirror
like envelope of air. Apparently the
are much more favorable
for life on Venus than on Mars, yet
those very conditions-air and mois-
ture-make it impossible for us to

HARD TO KILL A FLY.
Wire Charged With All the Power

Bulge the Pest.

A West Chester, Pa, young man
who is interested in electrical study
has made some curious experiments.
He tried a strong current in killing
reaches, and they succumbed at the
first shock when placed in water as
conductor. Other bugs went just
as easily, but he met with a surprise
when he tried it on common house
fly
Placed in a pool of water charged
with all the power from an electric
light wire the fly gave no sign of be-
ing even troubled by the current, and
the experimenter is endeavoring to
figure out the reason. The fly took
a current which would have killed a
dog, cat or horse.
