1 ROBIN LANDSCAPE
Signboard Obstructs Sculptor's
View and Removal Asked

PARIS, Aug. 27.-M. Rodin, the ia
nous sculptor. has been robbed of his
landscape. 1t is not a work of art COM
posed by himself, but beautiful view
made by the hand of nature round his
villa at Meudon- -Clamart. The spot
which he had chosen for his residence
and his atelier is one of the most pic
turesque suburbs of Paris. Stepping
out into his garden, he had beautiful
view of valley, with portion of the
Seine and Mount Valerien in the dis
tance. 1t never occurred to him that
any one would come and cut off this
beautiful picture, which he used to
contemplate in the evening while
studying some new composition for
sculpture.
One morning. however. he saw a
number of men digging a foundation
in property inst outside his own. Next
came gang of masons, and before
long solid wall was raised. On this
iron uprights were placed. and the
whole thing was boarded in. 1t con-
stituted when finished an immense
fence, several hundred feet long and
some 60 to so feet high, and as
might be inferred the object of this
ley was simply to act as an immense
signboard for cod liver oil or any
other commercial product
The result to the artist was dsas-
trous- II deprived him completely OF
the view of his beloved landscape NJ
Rodin complained to the inhapitants of
the locality. and they held meeting
at which resolution was passed to
petition the authorities to order the
removal of the obnoxious signboard
M. Rodin, who has not much confidence
in the result of this petition, has only
one other course open to him, and that
is to become a member of the Society
Protection
Perhaps this powerful organization will
be able to put the advertising intruder
to flight and restore his picturesque
surroundings to the celebrated sculptor

FEARS SOCIALISM
Eighth Election Won in Year
While Kaiser Claims Divine
Right of King
Especial Gable to The Call

BERLIN, Aug. 27.-The rapid advance
of socialism is causing the kaiser and
his advisers the keenest alarm. The
socialists polled nearly twice as many
votes as the liberal and anti semitic
candidates combined in the Saxony
election this week.
This is the eighth successive election
won by socialists in the present year.
The general election will be held next
year, and the government statisticians
are occupied in calculating for the
kaiser the probable growth of the So
cialist vote and the socialist representa-
tion in the new reichstag.
In 1907 the socialists polled Is per
cent of all the votes cast throughout
the empire, and it is estimated that they
will poll 40 per cent next year.
The Reichstag consists of 397 depu-
ties, and Chancellor -Holweg
expects to face the socialist party in
next parliament of from 14O to $50
members. He has been conferring with
leaders in various parts and leading
editors to concert measures for stem
ming the socialistic tide, but without
any encouraging result.
Kaiser Causes Protests
BERLIN. Aug. 27-The speech of
Emperor William at Koeni gsburg with
its openly expressed belief in the di-
vine right of the Prussian king and
his choice, not by people and assem-
blies, but by God, continues to be the
theme of the most excited discussion
in the newspapers. The various or
gans of the press are divided in their
views of the emperors utterances,
some of them taking a stand in op-
position to his view, SO that quite four
fifths of the German press are united
in criticism of the sovereign.
Every shade of disapproval is voiced
from mild regrets to mockery of the
alleged absolutist pretensions of the
emperor. The opinions expressed in
the minor German capitals appear to
| make no distinction between the sove-
reign's position as emperor of Germany
and king of Prussia, and they aver that
his responsibility to the empire as a
whole precludes declarations as king of
Prussia which are inconsistent with
the headship of the empire.
Inquiry is everywhere raised whether
the imperial chancellor, DIR. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, knew in advance of
the emperor's purpose TO deliver a
speech of such a nature. The press
generally comments also upon the ne
cessity of the German parliament TAX
ing some action on the subject when
it meets.
The chancellor is at his country place
at Hohenfinow, and the excitement over
the speech has not caused him to break
silence.
The emperor reviewed an army corps

enormous crowds.

showing that science confirms the
Bible and not that the Bible confirms
science. Is it fact confirmed by
science that vegetables must have
been created before animals? 1t is
for the very we'll established fact that
animals cannot live without vege-
tables. 1t is true that carnivorous
animals live on other animals but
when you trace the matter back you
find the ultimate source of the food
of carnivorous ANIMALS must be
through the berbivorous animals.
The fact is that animals can not or
ganize food-they must live on organ
lied food and vegetables alone can do
this organizing. Let me introduce
proofs of this.
Prof. Asa Gray in his admirable
work entitled "The Elements of
Botany" says on page IA: "Only
GIANTS are capable of originating or
ganizable matter, or the materials
which compose the structure of vege-
tables and animals. The essential and
peculiar work of plants is to make up
portions of earth and air water be-
longing to both) upon which animals
cannot live at all, and to convert
them into something organizable; that
is, into something that, under life,
may be built up into vegetable and
animal structures. All food of animals

is produced by plants. Animals live
upon vegetables. directly or at second
hand, the carnivorous upon the her
bivorous. - Again on page 148 he
further says $50 plant-assimulation
produces all food and fabric of
animals" Sorauer in his treatise on
the physiology of plants on page Ito
says: AS we see that witho ut chloro-
phyll granules cell is not able to
form any new organic matter, We
must come to the conclusion that the
most important and essential forma-
tive body in the vegetable kingdom
is the chlorophyll grain. We are
therefore completely justified in say
ing that without chlorophyll there
can be no organic life. For, as
matter of fact, the existence of animal
organisms is dependent upon the
presence of vegetable organisms.
Carnivorous animals feed exclusively
upon herbivorous animals. and the
food of the latter, the products of the
vegetabl kingdom, depend upon the
activity of the chlorophyll grain
Another important fact must be
kept in mind and that is that vege-
table organisms which alone can sup
port animals either directly or indi-
rectly, as these authors show, can not
live on the elements derived from the
soil and the air till they are organized

to find so few pears on exhibition.
Pears do we'll west of the Cascade
Range and it has been puzzle to me
why more are not grown in this part
of the state. One reason perhaps is
the fact that pears are later in ripen-
ing than on the other side Of the
mountains but that is not good
reason. Pears are high in the Seattle

Easter pears we're recently sent to

who sold them said they wished there
we're many more for they we're in de-
mand for the Alaska trade Most of
the men in charge of the exhibits
were absent. | was disappointed at
this for like to exchange views with
fruit growers.
I was surprised at some Of the glar-
ing mistakes found in naming fruits.
For instance, found pretty exhibit
of York Imperial apples that we're
called "New" York Imperial. Now
this apple did not originate in the
state of New York but in Pennsyl-
vania. Taylor in the U. S. Pom.
Bulletin in 1898 gives the following
historical account of this apple: "The
variety bearing this name originated
early in the present century on farm
adjoining the then borough of York,
Pa. There is nothing very strange
about this mistake for I read just the
other day that 5000 cars of apples
would be shipped this year from North
Yakima but any one who knows any
thing about this matter knows that
this number of cars will be shipped
from the Yakima valley some of them
so miles and more from North Yaki-
ma. Around North Yakima is very
fine fruit country and I would not de-
tract one iota from it's we'll earned rep
utation but when it comes to the
Yakima valley, the county seat is not
the only pc bible on the shore. In some
parts of Western Washington there is
need of the school master to be abroad
in the land. I noticed an advertise
ment of land in connection with one
of the county exhibits and the reader
was informed in big letters that some
of this land was Irrigated" Shades
Of Noah Webster! is that the way to
spell "irrigatedY" Some one may say
that these mistakes were only trifies.
Yes, but it is we'll to remember the
saying of great painter that "Trifies
make perfection and perfection is no
