"FRIEDLAND."
Meissomer's Military Picture in the
Metropolitan Museum.

To the Iayman who does not inquire too cur,ousIy
into matters of art II might that the question
OF scale, at any rate in the making OF easel
pictures. one which painter would regard
from thousand different points OF view in the
course of his career, just his subject dictated.
But this question IS which painter often
settles for himself at the beginning adhering to
his solution of the problem thenceforth until the
end. The genius OF requires plenty of
room for its expression. Thus Raphael and Michael
Angelo at their best in the production Of vast
mural decorations On the other hand. the old
masters of Holland who preferred TO paint on a
small scale even placing many OF their designs
tiny panels. form school by themselves it was
this school for whom modern follower was pro-
vided in Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier whose
''Friedand," picture preserved IN the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art. is shown in the plate accom-
panying The Tribune to-day.
Meissonier could work miracles a bit OF wood
or canvas only few inches high. Indeed, one
Of his masterpieces is the size Of an ordinary
watch He painted figures out OF the past. men
and women in romantic costumes. He liked TO
paint the booklover in his library, the old priest
playing a game Of chess, the soldier lounging in
all the glitter Of his harness, and similar pictu-
rescue types His special passion was for Ma
poleon, ard he never tired OF illustrating scenes
from the life of that conQueror. In "FTiedland
he comrnemorated Of the high moments in his
hero's wonderful drama, and did so with remark
abIe realistic power. The Importance OF this
picture as an example Of Messoniers art resides
In its disclosure OF his mastery over detail In
this instance he worked on a much larger scaie
than was customary with him, but he brought TO
his task the same for mnutiaa which char
acterizes his most modest panel This meant
certain hardness in his execution 1t is said that
when Degas the witty inpressonist. once visited
a Meissonier exhibition he glanced at his contem-
norars work in the field Of military subjects and
remarked, Everything is made OF steel except
the swords" Nevertheless. impression OF won
derfuI accuracy is conveyed by such painting as
.sFrtedIand" From it you could reconstruct the
uniforms Of the soldiers and their weapons you
could make drawings from which copies Of the
saddles and brides of their horses could be made
A pasnting like this has, toO distinct historical
stzniacance. Napoleon and his generals are paint
ed in It from authentic portraits and the different
tvnes in the army at that time veraciously
sented Meissonier had long life. Born in 1915,
he died IN Paris In 1891. He produced many paint
inSs None In the long list is more characteristic
or more famous than this canvas in the Metropoll-

TOWN BOARD NSPEC1S
THE FIRE APPARATUS
Is at Columbus, Indiana,
Today to Consider a
Purchase.
THINKS OF AUTO WAGONS
Thomas Knots, Who Is at Indianapo-
lis, VIII Meet Other Officials
Something Good Wanted.

The members of the town board of
Gary left last night for Columbus, Ind.
where they went for the urpose of
purchasing a fire engine for the new
city hall and fire station which will be
ready for by August the first.
The city officials are considering seri-
ously the purchase of an automobile
fire engine, which would be something
novel in this part of the state.
The board indicated before they left
the city that they would at least be
open to conviction on this subject and
that they would give the new device
careful consideration. They will also
look at the Kind generally in vogue at
the present time, those drawn by hors-
es and may make a selection before
they return, although this is unlikely.
The city believes that by the time
the station is quilt and a fire engine
is installed, that the streets will be in
such condition that an automobile fire
engine would have no drawback in thai
regard. The fire station and police de-
partment in the new building is to
be on a par with the structure itself
according to the board.
Mr.. Thomas Knots. who is now If
Indianapolis. will meet the members o
the board at Columbus where he viii
help them In the selection of the engine
