KENsINGToN ART TREASURES.
Collection, Unrivaled in the World,
Being Rehoused.

From n London Letter to the New York Tribune.
The art treasures of South Kensington,
so long housed in a labyrinth of blind
alleys and dark passages, are undergo
ing systematic rearrangement in the new
Victoria and Albert Museum. Sir Aston
Webb's big structure has been over
praised by admirers and unjustly assailed
by censorious critics; but whatever may
be the defects merits externally IL Is
admirably adapted for the exhibition OF
the unique collection. which has. never
been properly seen in the old lumber
rooms When the king opens the great
structure the metal stone, marble and
woodwork will be grouped in an orderly
way on the lowest floor; the textile, glass
and enamel work will b. ctassed and
graded on the next floor and the potteries
will be rearranged on the second floor.
The old building is not to be abandoned,
but merely relieved of the bulk Of the
treasures with which 1t has been over
crowded.
The Raphael cartoons. the pictures, the
furniture. the books and other treasures
are to remain where they have always
been, but 1t will be a less labOr.ous ex-
ploration to find them. The new galleries
are flooded with daylight and the corri-
dorS are not jumbled together in a hope
less maze. The old foSies will be un-
happy for years to come, since they will
be unable to poke about in the dark and
discover their favorite tapestries, their
spinets and virgnals. their embroider.es
and snuffboxes in the familiar hooks and
corners Of the shabby rubbish palace.
Newcomers will be pleased with the
transformation wrought by orderly ar
rangement when there is an abundance
of space. Not only will the new build
ing be dedicated to public use by the
king, but the collection itself, unrivaled
in the world. will be opened for exhibit
tion as 1t has never been before

Rapid Flights.

From the Columbus Journal.
We are getting motor wild. We are
thinking that going fast is the chief end
of life. Here is a man in New York who
claims he has invented a vehicle that
will go million miles a minute; that IS
when it gets in good running order. At
the start, he purposes to go from New
ork to Chicago in 30 minutes And then
sometimes he will go to Mars in 40 min

He proposes to do this in q motor work.

There are no wings or propellers to this
vehicle. 1t is simply a projectle. Such
speed will beat the planets 1t will keep
up with a comet. and run around It, and
guy it for being so slow. The inventor
might get it ready to accompany HALEY 8

would be. It would make the Wright
boys medals worth not 30 cents.

Epileptics in Public Schools.

From Met lures
The compulsory education laws drive
theoretically-all children but imbeciles
and idiots into the schools and keep them
there for minimum of six years toiling
over their books. whether or not they
can see, hear or think. Thus every
city, town, village and hamlet engages
itself to provide for all classes of de-
fectives and degenerates above a certain
level. But this level is not always main
/, tanned in actual practice. For instance.
when the compulsory education law went
into effect in Baltimore, eighty-three
epileptics. liable to seizures at any hour.
were found right in the grades with the
other children; while in Philadelphia there
are today, according to DIR. Winners esti-
mate, nearly 1000 imbeciles occupying
desks beside normal children. These un-
fortunates must either be provided for In
the public schools, or cast out to shift for
themselves as best they may; for the
special institutions-even when parents
are willing to send their children to them
are too crowded TO take them in.

the grace of manner, to courtesy, never
made in vain in France from the top

little fellow, who seemed to be ring
leader. saying. "Helas. ou est votre po-
ltesse francaise?' He looked at me

planted himself In front of me. tapping
his arms In a clever way like wings,
shriily shouting. "Oh. Yankee doodle
doo," l was thoroughly surprised and
amused when he dramatically pulled his
cap over his eyes. pulled up his cape
collar and folded his arms. becoming an
absurd but unmistakab'e image of the
Little Corporal as with bent brows he
addressed his comrades: Boys. she is
right. Fall in line, Face! March! Fall
back, The French do know how to be
polite The boys all marched behind
me. and not once did one boy forget and
obstruct the view.

Ascot Millinery.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is sad reading to the lover Of beau
tiful things to note the extravaganza
OF the feathered millinery that is to be
feature of Ascot week. For this means
murder most foul. The craze for wear
ing the plumage of rare birds obtained
under circumstances that to witness
would cause most strong men to faint

pause and ponder its pitiful satire. The
appearance of the floral hat now gener
ally in vogue gave hopes that this ugly
blot was no longer to sully the fair page
