Those who care for pictures at all
have seen Turner's "Slave Ship" or
a reproduction of It, 1t is the paint
ing, perhaps, above all others, that
constitutes the masters claim to i'm
mortality. And, when one views it,
its scene of the main divided into
two ridges of enormous swell, not
high, nor local, but low, broad
heaying of the whole ocean, like the
lifting of It's bosom by deep drawn
breaths after the torture of the
storm" when one surveys the torn
and streaming rain clouds, moving
in scarlet lines, to lose themselves in
tha hollow of the night" one can
hear in IMAGINATION the moan of the
desolate waste.
Then, when between these two
ridges the fire of the sunset falls
along the trough of the sea, dyeing
It with an awful but glorious light.
the intense and lurid splendor which
burns like gold and battles like
blood" seems to send forth sound
as If one were hearing the cries of
the doomed souls in Dante's In
ferno" Then, again, as purple and
blue. the lurid shadowS of the hollow
breakers are cast upon the mist of
the night which gathers cold and
low, advancing like the shadow of
death upon the guilty ship" clearly
to the ear comes the sound of the
terrifying shrieks of the doomed
slaves as they are cast, headlong, into
the sea.
Thus. clearly, in this wondrous eff
fort of the genius of a mighty painter,
is Illustrated imaginatively the anal
ogy between color and sound. long
suspected and long ago, in the sister
art of music, imperfectly enunciated.
Now, in the twentieth century. this

CHURCHES ~ MUSIC y ART g HOLY NAME .
HARRIET HOSMER is THE
HAPPIEST WOMAN | KNOW

till her death in 1908. when she was
seventy Miss Hosmer's life was
one continued career of success.
Sometimes there appeared faint
note of protest, but, generally COM
mendation and praise rewarded her
efforts.
Now, unfortunately. the tongue and
pen of the critic are set free and the
verdict is singularly severe. This Is
what they say: Miss Hosmers
work had all the faults of the Can
eva tradition, and except certain
technical efficiency, no redeeming fea-
ture.'
One grieves at this, but 1t must be
confessed that the sentiment she ex-
hibits is either trivial, as In PUCK.
OF unworthy, as in the Beatrice
Cenci" The nude of the classic
convention, when she attempted It,
betrayed her absolute incapacity TO
understand either the human figure
or the antique. The school or the
world of Michael Angelo was ever
before her In Rome, but her mind was
too circumscribed to grasp its lesson.
Unlike the Amy of Miss Alcott, the
girl who thought she had genius,
Miss Hosmer was far too great m
egoist to be silenced and shamed by
the mighty world of art which sur
rounded her. She believed IN her
self and In her work, and this, at
least, is a lesson for the American
artist Moreover, though the author
of this book, Mrs. Carr. does not at
tempt to prove 1t, Harrier Hosmer
had a singular force of personality
which drew to her the highest life of
Rome.
She was an intimate friend of the
Brownings, especially of the poet
himself Perhaps the heart Of bis
wonderful wife saw deeper into the
art and It's sentiment of the sculp-
! tress She was a favored friend of
the foredoomed Empress Eliza beth
and the queen of Naples sought her
society.
Furthermore, even If she had not
the genius of a Flaxman, Miss Hoe
mer had the good fortune to win the
admiration of Carlyle, and when in
London she was an honored visitor
| in Cheyne row. The letters which
Mrs. Carr quotes show, also, what
grand houses received her. botn as a
woman and as a successful artist.
She was often at Castle Raby. Castle
Ashhy. Wilton House and many other
great homes in England.
This Is perhaps the note that should
be embodied in her epitaph, namely.
that she was content; that as her
| friend said, "She is the happiest

A great artist, Pauline Viardot, once
said, First am a woman, with the
duties, the affections. the sentiments
of woman; and then am an artist"
This observation might have been
uttered by Harriet Hosmer, the
American sculptress, famous in her
day and though not crowned with the
purest laurels of the artist, still, a
creator who had a spark of the divine
spirit.
But the remark of Pauline Viardot
especially applies to Harriet Hosmer
because she lived the life of woman;
she was one with women; her art
never took her out of the crowd. She
was never 'hors de combat" In
Washington she was a social favorite,
in Rome she was the favorite not
alone of artists, but of crowned heads
as we'll; In England her love of sports
and outdoor life made her a welcome
visitor to personages in the highest
circles of court society.
One of her patrician English friends
wrote of her she is the happiest hui
man being I know and thinks herself

The letters of Harriet Hosmer have

Half a century ago Harriet Hos

honor to American genius. She lived
in Rome and was the favorite pupil
of Gibson. There, unfortunately, che
resigned herself to the spell of those
"inexplicable celebrities" Canova and
Thorwaldsen, psuedo-antique revival
lists, upheld and acclaimed by Roman
dilettanteism and fashionable con-
noisseurship.
At that time the work of the Am.

equal of the Greek sculpture of the
golden age of art. Royal personages

ABBOT GASQUET APPLAUDS
NEWARK'S HOLY NAME FEAST

With courtly grace, still further
ennobled by ecclesiastical dignity and
sanetity, Abbot Gasquet received me
yesterday in the Abbey Church of st
Mary. AS I apologized for being later
than the hour appointed, he smiled
gently and said:
DO not apologize, am only toe
delighted to make your acquaint-
ance."
AS 1 looked at the abbot there
appeared out of the secret recesses
of memory the figure Of a great
duke. one whose name fell little be-
low that of the premier peer, in Eng
lands proud 'Almanach de Gotha'
as he stood on the shores of an Amer
lean inland sea, Sir William Russell

When ] expressed my sense of the
honor vouchsafed me in being re-

lighted to have as councillor in the

what. as an alien, you thought of the
demonstration of the Holy Name So

the abbot's reply But most i'm
pressive to my soul was the sight OF
the priests, of the shepherds of their

was the apparent spirit of unity
among the members of the societies

COLOR ORGAN REPRODUCES
MUSICAL GEMS FOR THE EYE

analogy is being scientifically demon
strated. From the time of Sir Isaac
Newton the correspondence between
the seven diatonic notes of the scale
and the seven colors of the spectrum
band have puzzled and interested sa-
wants, until, at last, color instru-
ment has been invented which has
been proved to have a two-fold syn
chronous function.
The inventor is Mr.. A. B. Hector,
an Australian business man. In his
instrument, while the notes of the
chromatic scale are made to sound in
the customary way, by the pressure
of the keys. corresponding arrange
ment of colors is shown at the same
time by means of wires connected
with rows of twelve electric
lamps in colored screens. There are,
in all, seven such rows, placed one
above the other on a spiral The
lowest is for the lowest octave of the
keyboard. In the second octave of
sounds the vibrations are double
those of the first; in the third, double
those of the second, and so on.
But this is sound and color. In the
effect produced by Turner's famed
picture on the imaginative mind
there is the semblance of sound as
produced on some instrument by a
master hand and. strange to say, yet
easily to be believed, 1T is said that
the color effects are especially beau
tiful in Mr.. Hector's instrument when
the masterpieces of some great COM
poser are being played on the piano
or organ.
Another inventor, Mr. A. Wallace
Remington. has written a book en-
titled Color Music" In this work
he describes his color organ" This
invention presents the rhythm of mu-
sic as rhythm of color.

Dinizulu, Last of Warrior
Kings of Zulu Nation, Dead

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 1s.-Dinizulu,
the last of the warrior kings of the
former Zulu nation of South Africa,
prince imperial, Louis Napoleon, was
wayo, the king who led the Zulu ma
ton against the British troops in the
war of 1879. Cetywayo was eventu-
ally defeated after he had inflicted
a crushing blow on the British army
at the battle of Isandhlwana when
practically the entire Twenty-fourth
Infantry Regiment was mastered. 1t
was during this war that the French
prince imperial, Louis Napoleon, was
killed while out accommodating with
the British troops.
Dinizulu did not become king when
his father died, but was proclaimed
later by the Beers and led two or
three rebellions against the British
power.

flames broke out in her forward conn

The st. Louis passed five miles

caught fire.
