REPORTS

The passing Of the old council
was preceded by the reading of re-
ports Of various officers, including.
that Of the city clerk, which showed
remarkable Improvement over
the financial affairs of a few years
ago, proving that the city is tend
ing in the right direction, and that
capable men are at the head Of
affairs. One of the remarkable
things about the report is this, as
pointed out by Alderman Ryalls,
the chairman of the finance COM
mittee, that after all warrants have
been paid Including those issued
at the last meeting the city has at
the close Of the administration a
balance of cash in hand of $4,000,
besides paying off some $4,000 of
the city's indebtedness. All branch
es Of the city's affairs are in good
shape. The municipal court has
proven to be a fine proposition.
and is on selfpaying basis. The
report for the nine months during
which it has run shows balance
over and above all expenditures Of
$500, $500 of which are for office
furniture an expense which will
not be required again for years.

position in Seattle. is TO be exhibited
in ogden for the benefit OF the Crit
tenton Home during the week OF
January 3rd, has awakened much In
terest among local art-lovers and it
Is apparent that it will be cordially
received
The picture Is called a miracle"
painting and represents a figure of
the Christ clad in brown against a
background of blue 1t differs from
the usual conception. in that il pre-
sents Christ with brown hair and
eyes, whereas he is usually portrayed
as having blue eyes and red or Titi-
an hair.
The figure of the man Christ Is eX-
ceptionally strong and virIle, but Is
Enthusiastically gentle. The picture
Is unfinished According to the story.
its creator refused TO 90 on with the
work when its peculiar phenomenon
was first discovered. II was sold to
a Washington Cd. CO physician who
called In a number of government
scientists and chemists to explain It's
mysterious luminous qualities. but
without success Therefore the pic
ture has taken the popular name of
miracle painting" in lieu of a more
definite explanation.
The painter one night went into his
studio in the dark, and his eye no.
ticed a peculiar glow upon the pic
ture. He stood for several minutes
and observed the figure of Christ out
lined clearly, though not brilliantly.
Concentrating his gaze, he was start
led TO see a shadow of the cross back
OF the figure. The discovery created
a sensation, as the cross is visible
only in darkness
The spectator first sees the picture
under a strong light, which very
clearly shows the weave of the can
vas. the paint, and the unfinished
condition of the background. The his
tory Of the picture is given by the
lecturer who then turns out the
lights. After the effect of the dark
ness wears off the observer plainly
sees the central figure of Christ in
the center of the picture The figure
grows in distinctness as one becomes
accustomed to the darkness, There
finally appears very distinct out
line Of a cross. which appears to be
back of the figure The cross is
aslant, as II carried by bonds across
the back of the Christ The eXplana-
tion for the phenomenon has never
been satisfactorily given. Many ar
lists believe that it comes from the
accidental use OF the pigments. which
resulted in the arrangement of two
cross lines of shadows. But why
these shadows are visible only in the
darkness; Is the most difficult fea-
ture TO explain.
