She believes that pictures and music are
just as essential in high schools as

esthetic instincts by providing high

THE Corcoran Gallery has just placed
on exhibition a very strong and i'm
pressive full-length portrait OF Charles
Francis Adams. president of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society. This is the
latest work OF Robert Vonnoh. one of
Americas most distinguished painters.
Born in Hartford. Conn. in 1858. Mr..
vonnoh studied first at the Massachu-
sets Normal Art School. in Boston. and
then in the Julien Academy, In Paris,
under Boulanger and Lefebre. After re-
turning from abroad in 1883 he taught In
the Cowles Art School, Boston. and later
in the Museum Of Fine Arts. Boston, and
the Pennsylvania Academy. Philadelphia.
With his teaching went hand in hand
production; the principles that he laid
down in the classroom he demonstrated
in his own work, which, however, he
never permitted to become merely
pedagogical.
His portraits-in fact. all of his paint
ings-are essentially retfcent, but they
are never timid or stereotyped. He is a
good craftsman. a good colorist. a skill
full technician, but he is something more
than all these-he is Inherently an artist.
Although Mr.. Vonnoh is best known per-
haps as a portrait painter, his landscapes
genre pictures show conSummate skill
and thorough knowledge They have won
for him many medals, both in France
and America.

The Strike In Belgium.
ny DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1913. by Frank Crane.)

The general strike OF workingmen IN
Belgium is one Of the most impressive
events OF recent times. That which 10 30
wonderful in IT il the noble self-restraint
OF the strikers. Some 10000 men leave
work quietly; they destroy no property:
they do not threaten and ravage ana
burn; there are no fre-eating speeches:
they even detail some of their number 20
remain at their tasks In order that prop
erty may not be damaged.
1t is foolish to say that strikes have
never done any good. but It is truth to
say that violence has always done harm
to the workers themselves
The strike is essentially an appeal to
public opinion. an appeal for public SYM
pathy. Violence is the surest means OF
defeating the aim Of this appeal.
,, The militant suffragettes OF England.
by their resort TO outrageous and GRIM
inal means to gain their point make them
the chief enemies OF the enfranchisement
OF women. This age is impatient toward
sevagery as a method to advance civiiixa-.
ton.
The spectacle of thousands OF workmen
quietly laying down their tools and refus-
ing to continue productive work so long
as their rights are not respected Is .
magnificent example of the right way OF
using the power to strike.
The people are responding. Many en-
ployers are contributing generously to the
strike fund From all over the world
come assurances Of sympathy. Many Bel
CLANS in the United States are sending
money to the cause.
Suffrage In Belgium is limited to men
over twenty-five years OF age. Those with
property valued at 500. or deriving $40
annually from national bonds, vote twice.
Graduates Of the higher secondary school,
officeholders and professional men vote
manhood suffrage-that is. one man one
vote.
Realizing the justice OF their claim, the
leaders OF the strike, who, by the way,
are socialists declare that II the stub
born conservatives In power will not
grant their plea the toilers win simply
quit.
Maurice Maeteriinck. the most con-
spicuous literary figure In Belgium. and
q man whose name Ia authority through
out the world, has expressed his sym
pathy with the workers I'm this great
battle against q ministry which repre-
sents all the ugliness. lowness and per-

a beam of white sunlight shines through
a triangular prism it energies as beau
tiful band of light whose colors blend
from violet at one end to red at the
other. This is because the apparently
simple beam of white light is actually
made up Of almost an infinity Of light
beams of different wave lengths, the
waves known to US as violet light being
the shortest, while those which produce
upon our eyes the impression of a red
color are the longest. The shorter the
light waves in the ether are the more
they will be bent out OF their course by
their passage through the prism. AS the
wave lengths of violet light are less than
those of red light. the colors will thus
be separated from one another as illus
trated In Figure 2.
If narrow slit be placed before the
prism so that only a very thin beam Of
sunlight can shine through it. the color
strip will at once become crossed by
multitude Of fine, black lines whose po-
sition with reference to the direction or
the narrow beam can be measured with
great accuracy. From many OF the stars,
Of which Capella Is an example. the
color strip, or spectrum, Is exactly like
that made by the light OF our own sun;
from others we obtain a spectrum crossed
But in either case the position Of the
lines depends upon the lengths OF the
corresponding light waves in the ether;
that is, upon the number of light waves
which pass through the narrow slit in
given time.
It Is therefore evident that IL We are
approaching the source of light more
waves will fall upon the prism in
given time than otherwise and that the
wave lengths will thus become effectively
shortened; consequently all the lines of
the spectrum will become displaced to-
ward the violet end. which is the region
OF shorter wave lengths And il the
distance between us and the source OF
light is increasing, the lines will be dis
placed toward the red. By measuring
the amount of this displacement we can
even determine how many miles q second

below these We see that the Northern

Agricultural Meeting

Monday night, beginning at
eight O'Clock, there will be
mass meeting of the farmers,
business and laboring men and
women of this community held
in Temples Hall, Elgin, for the
purpose Of discussing questions
of most vital interest to the
farmers along the lines of intens-
i've and better methods of agri-
culture and more remunerative
markets. Prominent and well
qualified experts will address the
meeting, as well as two or three
selected from our local talent.
This will be one of many such
meetings in the county, and is
intended to be the first of
series of meetings in this
community. Future meetings,
however, will depend upon the
interest taken in this first one,
Monday night. Therefore it be-
hoves every man and woman
who are directly or indirectly
interested in the financial sue
cess of the farmer to attend this
meeting. 1t will be an agricul-
tural thermometer. if you please,
registering the progressiveness
or the non-progressiveness of
this community; and every man,
woman and child should have
sufficient loyal local pride to see
to it that we will be found at
the one hundred mark of intel
ligent progressiveness, and not
down in the ignorances of the
dark ages.
In order that farm work may
not be interfered with, a night
meeting has been selected. This
will also give the business men,
the professional men, and the
laboring men-who are all, or
should be interested, an oppor-
tunity to attend. AS all business
depends upon the success Of the
farmer, all should be deeply in
terested in the financial success
Of agriculture.
The farmer is again coming
back to his own, and is now rec
ognized as the "saltof the earth. "
1t is now universally conceded
among all thinking economists
that there is vastly too much
waste in marketing between the
producer and the consumer. 1t
is now plainly to be seen that if
all this unnecessary waste was
dispensed with, the farmer and
the manufacturer would get
much more for what they pro-
