Alexander Harrison has lived so
continuously in France that one is apt
to forget he is a very good American
Yet he was born in Philadelphia, in
1858, of good American stock, one of
three artistic brothers, the youngest
of whom died years ago. The other,
Birge, is an able landscape and figure
painter, who not infrequently paints
the sea as we'll. Alexander, as a very
young man, was member of the
United States Coast Survey, working
along the Pacific shores, when the art
career first appealed to him, and he
threw up his commission to enter the
schools of San Francisco. From there
he went to Paris and entered the stu
dfo of j. L. Gerome in the Ecole des
Beaux Arts But he spent most of his
time studying nature. He painted
landscapes and figures. And with the
latter he had a big success, his pic
ture EN- Arcade" being afterward
bought by the French government for
the Musee of the Luxembourg.
His recognition was almost instan-
taneous. Honors were heaped upon
him, among them being the ribbon of
the Legion of Honor Che has the Grand
Cross of the order now), together with
membership in many European acad-
emies and art societies in Munich,
Berlin, London, and elsewhere. He
was also awarded gold medals abroad
and at home, and his sea pictures may

1t is curious fact that many of the
most distinguished of American paint
ers were originally educated as engi-
neers. Charles H. Woodbury. was one
of these. He graduated from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in 1886, receiving the degree of me-
chanical engineer. But he always had
the art instinct, and meant sooner or
later to take up that profession. Even
when he was taking the difficult
course at the institute he managed to
paint a great deal, and obtained in his
junior year a medal from the Boston
Arts Club-no small accomplishment.
After his graduation he went to Paris
and entered the Julien Academy, and
he has been receiving medals ever
since he came home.
Few men have studied the sea as
has Woodbury.. He has house and
studio on the Maine coast at Ogunquit,
workshop where he can paint the
sea directly out of his window There
he lives the year round, and he works
like a hired man, every day and all
day, no matter what the weather, or
how high the wind.
Woodbury. was one of the first men

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Con-
WINGED That the Youngster Was
Competent to Give It.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to, for 1t
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, so he wendell his steps In
that direction. He'so came across
the young people, and found them in
a most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
in both his arms, and was kissing her
as if he hadn't tasted such a dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work-and then made his presence
known.
isn't it very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
1T isis rather, pa" faltered the
fair girl; "but-but Mr.. Popple HAS
been giv-giving me lesson in ais
astronomy"
"My stars!" calculated the old gen.
tleman "He has, and no mistake!
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out of sheer compassion.

of view, seeing it in a manner quite
different from his fellows. Indeed, no
other worker in this country possesses
so individual an outlook on the world
of color. He has as we'll method of
painting quite his own, Of handling his
pigment, of blending the tones and OBJ
tanning sparkle and vibrancy.
Few painters keep up their inter
est to such high pitch. Carlson is
today as enthusiastic as a beginner.
Among the members of the Salma-
gundi club of New York, that intimate
artistic organization, Carlson is most
popular, and they have given him
many of the best prizes the organiza-
ton has to offer. He has also many
medals and honors elsewhere Last
season the Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, awarded
him one Of its important prizes, and
purchased his painting for it's perman
ent collection.
He is a member of the National Aca

to paint the open ocean, making many
trips over the Atlantic for this pur-
pose. He used to stay on deck, with
his canvas, and himself also for that
matter, dashed to the rigging, that he
might catch storm effects. His most
important work, great canvas call
ed "Mid-Ocean," created sensation
when it was first shown, and he fol-
lowed 1t with many more.
Woodbury. married a prominent
painter, Miss Marcia Cakes. Together
they spent much time in Holland,
where she painted the figures while
he did the shore and the canals. Up
in Maine where he lives the natives
all know him and have profound
respect for man who can go out in
the rain and sit for hours on the bleak
rocks painting pictures.
One of the most successful teachers
in this country, Woodbury. has often
as many as sixty pupils in his class
during the summer at Ogunquit. There,
twice a week, he gives criticisms and
talks which are famous the country
over. He has won many medals both
here and abroad, and his pictures are
in MANY famous museums

be said to have changed the method
OF modern sea painting
An intimacy with Jules Bastien-Le-
page, the French painter, had some in
fluence on his style, and he travelled
extensively throughout the Continent
studying the various galleries. A tall
distinguished looking man, with a
large amount of energy and enthus-
iasm, he worked continuously out of
doors with great success, and later
had a large class of students, with a
host of followers, not to say imitators
Harrison was one of the first of the
modern men in the early SOS to get
the real feeling of diffused light out
of doors. At that time he was consid-
cred almost a dangerous innovator !;
though we accept the manner readily
enough nowadays. Yet at that time he
was a leader, and his pictures made
spots in the exhibition, causing others
by their side to appear dull and inin-
spired. He was particularly good in
rendering the effects of early moon
rise over the water. His painting of
surf came as revelation to eyes ac-
customed to the old-fashioned manner
of presenting it.
Never clever workman, he obtain
ed that which he sought by the hard
est kind of labor and application, and
he worked picture over and over I'M
til the result was satisfactory Much
of his painting has been done along
the coast of Brittany.

StandinQ-Room Only,

According to statistics, the popula
ton of Paris is 100000 and there ex-
lists carriage for each forty-one in
habitants and bicycle for sixteen.
At this rate, making reasonable allow
ance for the smallness of Partisan fam
lies, hardly anyone needs to walk un-
less by choice. The total area of the
streets of the capital is 924 hectares,
and 1t is calculated that the united
length Of all the vehicles in use would
cover an area Of ninety-eight hec-
tares. In other words, tho accumula-
ton OF vehicles would represent about
one-tenth Of the surface of the city
streets. AS the number OF vehicles
Is duplicated every fifty years, 1850
Will find the number of vehicles In
Paris too large for the city streets to
contain, unless they are scattered
evenly throughout the capital But
perhaps by the time Paris can no
longer drive through the streets, 1t
may be able to fly over them.

Dwarf Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are one of, If not the
most, popular summer vegetables.
This worldwide fayorite is of com
paratively recent use as an edible.
The popularity of tomatoes is due
largely 10 the great variety Of ways IN
which they can be prepared for the
table. No other vegetable can be eat
Ell raw or cooked in such Il variety of
forms. No other vegetable has wider
range OF growth, is easier TO grow,
or produces more from the land
Tomatoes were originally divided
into the tree and bush classes, after
their manner OF growth About 50
years ago French market gardener
noticed a sturdy low.growmg tomato
bush In field Of ordinary vines. We
say bush adyisedly. because it had Il
short, strong stalk and stood right up
holding its branches and fruit on the
ground
From his original plant sport" has
been developed great variety Of
dwarf tomatoes. This peculiar occur
renee has never re-oCcurred. and ii
this humble gardener had not pre-
served his remarkable plant, the
world would be without "a race ut
