speculator. 1t had hitherto been pop

to remain poor because of his extrava-

Unfortunate speculations turn out
to have been the cause of his financial
ruin. Documents have been disinter-

the municipality Of Amsterdam that
he had suffered heavy losses in bust
ness transactions as well as. through
damages and losses on the high seas.

SPIRIT OF THE AIR.
Il Permeates the Entire Being Of the
Flying Bird.

EUTtM0at5G
Flying Bird.
The bird is little more than drift OF
the air brought into form by plumes.
The air is in all its quilts. It breathes
through its whole frame and flesh and
CLOVIS with air in its flying, like brown
flames 1t rests upon the air. subdues
1t, SURPRISES 1t. outraces it's the air.
conscious of itself. conquering itself,
ruling itself. Also in the throat Of
the bird is given the voice, Of the air.
All that In the mind itself is weak.
wild, useless in sweetness. is knit to-
gether in its song.
AS we may imagine the wild form Of
the cloud closed into the perfect form
of the birds wings. SO the wild voice
Of the cloud into its ordered and COM
manded voice, unwearied. ripping
through the clear heaven in its glad
ness. interpreting all intense passion
through the soft spring nights, bursting
into acclaim and rapture Of choir at
daybreak or lisping and twittering
among the boughs and hedges, through
the heat Of day. like little winds that
only make the cowslip bells shake and
ruffle the petals of the wild rose.
Also upon the plumes Of the bird are
put the colors OF the air; on these the
gold of the cloud that cannot be gath
cred by any covetousness; the rubies
of the cloud, that are not the pride of
Athena. but are Athena; the vermilion
of the cloud bar, and the fame of
the cloud crest, and the snow Of the
cloud and its shadow. and the melted
blue of the deep wells Of the sky-all
these, seized by the creating spirit and
woven by Athena herself into Aims
and threads of plume. with wave upon
wave following and fading along
breast and throat and opened wings,
infinite as the dividing Of the foam
and the sitting Of the sea sand, even
the white down of the cloud seeming
to futter up between the stronger
plumes seen. but too soft for touch.
And so the spirit OF the air is put into
and upon this created form, and it be-
comes through twenty centuries the
symbol Of divine help. descending as
the fire to speak, but as the dove to
bless. From John Ruskin's '.The
Queen Of the Air"
