THE BIG JAP FIRE.

Osake one of the largest and
chief manufacting cities of Japan,
recently suffered a severe fire loss.
For day and night ths fire raged
uncontrolled in the heart of the
residence and manufacturing dis
triots.
A section Of I6 square miles was
burned over 40, 900 houses were
destroyed aud a hundred thousand
people were rendered homeless.
tits a calamity that calls for the
sympathy of all civilized people
and their prompt assistance II the
Japansse government is not able to
handle the situation promptly.
1t is a good time for the Ameri-
can people to show theiI respect
for the Japanese people in a sub
stanual way and in way that
would have a tendency to increase
the friendly relations existing be
tween the two nations.

REWARD TO THE WRIGiITS.

The Wrights won out in every
test of their flying machine required
by the government and more than
made good in all. According to
the contract with the government
they will receive $50, 200 for their
machine.
The Wright' are now instructing
a couple of young officers how to
ride the thing. We don't know
what the government wanted with
the thing, but we are glad 20 see the
Wrights get their money. They
surely have earned it. They have
made wonderful advances in air
navigation and merit thisreeognition
by the government, but we do not
believe the soldier boys nteeed tolls
playthlng very badly. Some of
them are likely to got their necks
broken before they quit fooIing with

those who have the power to purchase
what they will, and let the walls of
this room be of the correct harmonic
ing color that goes with the pictures
intended to be hung on them. The
rest of the room should be treated in
the same manner: with keen and dis
eliminating eye as to the possible ef-
fects of clashing colors or pictures.
An artist should be there to explain and
illustrate how the furnishing and hang
ing should be done; Just what pictures
are suitable in a certain style of room,
and why. 1t does not cost any more TO
be artistic than it does to be vulgar;
why, then. should not the people be
willing to abide by the dictum of those
who know? They will be, / believe,
when they understand This is why
some artist should take up this line of
work IT would prove boon to that
section of humanity which suffers from
lack of discernment and taste.
The other two rooms should, of
course. be arranged for people of mod
crate means and for those who are per-
haps able to buy only engravings or in
expensive prints; but the same condi-
tons of taste and harmony can prevail

In her studio in Pine street Miss
Evelyn Withrow has some charming
and original concepts which show
marked departure from work along
the usual lines. The chlef or tnese Is
the head of a beautiful girl. with fea-
lures accentuated so as to produce an
expression of strength, in contrast with
the delicate and elusive tones of the
rainbow fllet which binds her hair, on
which CLEANS a single brilliant ray OF
the sun. The effect gained is as when
a boy flashes a prism and sets the hght
dancing on the wall. one Is not sure
of the exact source of the apparently
quivering ray until a close examination
reveals it as firmly set in the. picture
The result of such concept is decided
ly unusual and novel
Miss Withrow is fond of these pris-
matte effects, and another is seen in a
red crayon sketch of a woman's head,
gazing in deep concentration at the
cleaning bubble held In her out
stretched hand. The features are sharp
and powerful and the expression one of
rapt earnestness. The space between
the piercing, singular eyes and the
light. glancing rainbow sphere which
she holds seems to CULVER with the in
tensity of thought. Faint CLEANS of
color are visible in the space, which
seem to be reflected from the airy bub-
BILE or to emanate from the woman s
eyes. The picture. as yet unfinished, is
a mystical conception.
While in London last year Miss With
row had a rare honor conferred upon
