Tho Split Log DRAG.

The split log Is due to the ingenuity
Of Missouri farmer. who, to improve
the condition OF the highway between
his farm and the neighboring village,
devised a rude contrivance to smooth
the rough places and round up the
surface from the ditch to the center so
as to drain of the water. This device
was most simple since It consisted OF
a log split into two equal parts. with
few braces between them and a
chain by which the horses hauled the
drag II was tried after a rain when
the road was soft, and It worked so
well that its fame soon travelled far
and wide. This was the beginning of
the split log drug, the improved form
OF which any farmer can make In a
short time. II has revolutionized the
work Of maintaining dirt roads, work
which had always been expensive and

The abundance Of fish in the sea of

travellers. Most of the fishing done by
the Syrians involves the use of nets

the centuries been done with nets is to
be found in the ease with which most

Inevitably appreciation OF Gender
wishes that he had had Il clearer finer
vision, sweeter tone. Mr. Gibson
takes him, perhaps, a shade too Sc
riOusly, and, like other partisans, over
rates his talent. But it is not diff
cult to understand his fervor. Gender,
with all his shortcomings. has some
thing beguiling about him. one turns
these pages in decidedly critical mood,
but one ends with an undcniable sym
patty for a note so heeting so gra-
cious, and so full OF an artificial but
potent charm.
A kind Of companion volume to this
one on Gender is the similarly artistic
quarto "Forty-three Drawings by Ala
stair dhc John Lane Company, pup
Robert Ross" Faint reverberations Of
the stir caused in London not long
ago by the pseudonymous maker Of
these drawings have reached our
shores. hey suggested that a sue
cessor to Aubrey Beardsloy had arisen.
The present volume, which through the
scale and beauty Of its plates easily
takes the place, we should say, of an
exhibition Of drawings, disappoints in
some ways the expectations thus
aroused and satisfies them in others.
| Alastair does not possess Beardsley's
linear brilliance nor would he appear
to be as fecund in decorative ideas.
His chief point OF contact with the

| decadent feeling which is obvious in
them both. This accounts for similari-
ties in the treatment Of the figure, for
! grotesque touches in matters OF cos

ESSAYS in Criticism and Man
uals of History.

Imagine, in the midst Of the horrors
of the century, a privileged spot, a sort
of angelical retreat, ideally silent and
inclosed, in which passions are quoted,
where troubles cease, where they pray,
adore, where everything is TRANSPORTED,
physical ugliness, moral ugliness, where
new feelings arise, where grow, like
lilies, simplicity, gentleness, a super
natural mildness-and you will have
an idea of the unique soul OF Memling
and the miracle that he works in his
pictures" 1t would be amusing to ask
some artists to guess the source of that
quotation Scornfuly they would as
cribe it to Ruskin, or at least to some
disciple of his. AS it happens, the
words were written by Eugene Fromen-
tin, so often cited by so many artists
in support of their naive contention
that only an artist is to be trusted to
write about art without dragging in
literary" fripperies. The truth is, Of
course, that for this famous French
man, himself a devoted painter there
was nothing in the world of thought
and Imagination which was unwelcome
in a work of art when 1t was put there
by the hand of genius. A new edition
of his memorable book, THE Masters
of Past Time" (E. p. Dutton & CO..,
has just been published, with fine illus
trations in color and in half-tone. There
is portrait of the author too, and apt
~ it shows us precisely the sensitive,
reflective countenance which one likes
to keep in mind as one studies his in
spring pages. He wrote Of the old Dutcn
and Flemish painters in order ito slim
ulate thought upon them" 1t is a
painters book. no doubt, but there is
not line in it which is not calculated
TO stir the lay reader, to wake his sym
pathies and TO give him a wiser and
delightfuler sense of artistic beauty.
The season brings forward no new book
better worth having than is this old
one.
