VALUE ART TOO LATE.

In the old days of japanese art artists
of note received no salaries but were
retained by the daimios (feudal lords). or
were rewarded for their work by the sho-
gunate in roku, or an annuity Of SO many
l1oku about $50 pounds of rice, the guam
tity being gagged according to the rank of
the recipients. People had no desire for
riches in the days of old Japan. and
money had little value. 1t was consid-
cred beneath the dignity of an artist to
be paid in cash.
Utamaro. whose name is now famous
in the popular school, was very proud.
and although at the time he fiourished
his fellow-artists devoted most of their
time to the delineation of actor prints
which were selling like wildfire, he de-
clined to drag his art down to the level
of commerce. To use his own words II

Previous Experience Conclusive.

The experience Of 1907 was conclusive
on these two points. Measuring the Saso-
line OF a uniform specific gravity TO all
the racings cars was delicate operation,
and in the race itself it was found that
there We're cars with = consumption rate
rather too high, and others with a con-
sumption rate rather too low. The French,
indeed. are convinced that they lost this
race 20 Italy by a fiule in the weather

Race to Be More Spectacular.

With view TO making the race more
spectacular than usual, the racing board
has decided to run on course of twenty
eight To thirty-esht miles round, COM
pared with a course of practically forty
eigh- miles al Dieppe. Offers of racing
circuit have been askei for, it being
stipulated that the center OF the course
must not be more than 100 mics from
Paris.
The decision To limit the size of motors
BY restricting the fuel supply meets with
"A certain amount of criticism in tech

that Il Will cause very close attention
