Elliott Daingerfield, who is a Vir-

Ferry, and F. Ballard Williams, New
Yorker. have not only colorful quality
in their works. but distinctly romantic

color. skillfully composed. pictorial ana
toneful. They are modern ana true,
and yet clearly related to the art OF
the past. to the classic. They seem to
accord with rich environment. to sus-

still, as was previously said. they are

of the Poles were brave and lovers OF

When Chatterer the Red Squirrel heard
Sammy Jay say that he was going
straight to the Green Forest to tell
Shadow the Weasel that Chatterer was
living in the Old Orchard a great fear
filled his heart. He forgot his quarrel
with Sammy. He forgot his greed for
all the corn in Farmer Browns corn

rible fear Of Shadow the Weasel. 1t was
because of Shadow that Chatterer had
left the Green Forest to live in the Old
Orchard. If Shadow should find him
there he didn't know what he could do
or where he could go. He knew that
Sammy Jay meant just what he said,
for though it would be a dreadful thing
to do, people do dreadful things when
they are angry. and Sammy Jay was
very, very angry indeed. He had already
spread his wings when Chatterer spoke.

The pilgrimage to Mecca is still a
standing menace to the health of the
world. in spite of the sanitary precau-
tions adopted by the various countries
concerned. including the Ottoman en-
pire. The American consul general at
Constantinople quotes statistics collect
ed by the Turkish sanitary administra-
tion concerning the number of pilgrims
who travelled to Mecca via ports of the
Red sea during 1912. There were S3.995
of these. most of whom came by way of
Jeddah. and of this number 44.671 had
to be subjected to quarantine or other
sanitary measures. Statistics of those
arriving by the Hedjaz railway and
other overland routes are not given,
but 1t is known that the annual num-
Der of pilgrims often exceeds 100000.
In 1912. 1913 vessels were engaged in
carrying pilgrims. Of which 1874 were

An Ether Ship From the Earth to


An invention still in the experimental
stage, but one which is attracting con-
siderable attention in scientific and lay
circles, involves the construction of an
ether ship to travel from the earth to
Venus and the other planets. The
would-be inventor is Z. E. Wilson of
Pimlico. London. who hopes that even
Mars could be reached in time. Venus
has been selected as the first planet
to be Investigated because Of the gen.
eral agreement among astronomers
that she bears a closer resemblance to
the earth than the other planets.
Some critics. however. doubt the
value Of the invention. Granting that
an ether vessel could be launched into
space and attracted to Venus, her pas
senger or passengers would roast to
death, and thus prevent the world
from ever getting a report of the
strange planetary exp orations. On the
other hand. hardy citizens of Venus
who ventured a journey to the earth
would die of cold. 1t is also claimed
that any vessel capable Of resisting
the retarding attraction Of the earth
would rush to the arms of Venus at
speed SO great that 1t would be driven
miles into the ground of that planet.

The last Of the eleven is Thomas Moran,
who might well claim priority in as much
as he was the first to discover the paint
able possibilities Of the Grand Canyon.
Mr.. Moran was one of the pioneers OF
American art and he still keeps in the
vanguard of the American painters. He
was born in Lancashire, England, in
1887. and brought to this country in 1874.
He studied in London and Paris and
Italy, was awarded medal at the CEN

THE art talk at the Corcoran School
was given Monday by Mr.. Messer,
the principal, and his subject was See
ing" There is no such thing. Mr.. Messer
said. as absolute vision. for seeing is not
mechanical process, but to great en-
tent process of the brain. To see is
not Of necessity to perceive. For this
reason there is diversity in vision.
Corot, Daubigny and Rosseau each saw
with his own eyes and quite d1nerentiy.
There are many who really scarcely see
at all, though physically their vision Is
unimpaired. The artist sees essentials,
Mt. Messer declared. Corot having seen
detail was able to perceive broad effects
as he desired: the artist who had seen
the accidents or incidents of form and
grasp the essential lines-those lines
which indicated life and Individuality. So
each who would attain must cultivate his
or her faculties of perception, and those
who would understand the works of the
masters must bear in mind the fact that
there is not one but many correct view
points and must so adjust his or her own
vision.
