tribute 10 the will of God. and which has
much to do with the molding OF their
lives
According to their traditions IL was In
li9S that Bogoslof came into being. It
was but few years previous TO this that
Russian priests had passed from one is
land to another OF the Aleutian chain and
preached the Christian religion to the ma
tNes. II was a monster eruption that
first brought the volcanic islands into be-
Ing and the priests convinced the natives
that il was due TO the wrath Of God be-
cause OF their slovness in becoming con-
verified So impressed were they and so
frightened by the great upheaval that
they embraced Christianity to a man.
Bogoslof TO them means Gods word ="
Ever since that time these Aleutes have
been devoutly religious When they show
a tendency TO stray from the prescribed
path an eruption Of this Chaugeful island
is sure to shortly come and frighten them
back into regularity.
Geologcally the explanation Of these
upheavals is that there is a assure in the
earth's crust at this point and that
through this fssurA water flows 10 the
superheated regions below. There II is
converted into steam. which continues TO
generate until sufficient strength is
gained 70 tear its way 10 the surface and
hurl whatever intervenes high into the
air. There are evidently great quantities
of water that continually find their way
thus into the bowels Of the earth and regu-
larry cause the phenomena to repeat them
selves. There IS no similar set OF condi-
lions existing elsewhere in the world. and
as a result there is nowhere else such
vgor and frequency Of eruption as at
Bogoslof.

masterpiece of Repin's.
Another of his pictures representing

Tolstoi museum. Repin is conservative
and has a wide reputation as the enemy
of all young artists who wish to exploit
any marked originality.
At New Atom, a monastery in the eau
casuS there was several years ago monk
who showed some talent for painting. He
was persuaded by Vladimir Beclemisheff,
president of the st. Petersburg Academy.

come an artist. Since then Philip Malta
win has become one of the greatest Rus

Woman is an event in the exhibition.
Screw Repin and Maliawin are the
three artists of Russia impossible to
identify with any movement or cult The
others may be put in some category.
The first group of artists that should
be mentioned is called the Travellers.
Fifty years ago a number OF men formed
a society for the purpose of exhibiting
their canvases throughout Russia 1t

the babies yet AS he had not seen
the babies. he led the way to a building
sery. before which, in the front yard,
were many small statuettes standing like
well behaved children scarcely seen and
not heard. II was the American pavilion.
Why" the writer asked. should this
represent American art? Is it because
We are still a young nation?"
Not at ALL" he replied. 1T is because
the time, money and energy of the nation
have been spent in producing one perfec,
thing-the American woman. She rep
resents US abroad. That is why the gov
eminent did not feel called upon to erect
a decent building here.
The Russian pavilion is an imposing
example of what is called imperial ar
chitecture in Russia, a style evolved dur
ing the reign of Alexander I and now
much in vogue as a model for country
houses. The entrance hall is a repro
