 Paris July .25.-The latest addition to the Paris Art World is an exhibi- ton of American Art by, Typical American Artists. The exhibitors this year are Bryson Burroughs. Gu rator of Paintings at the Metropon- tan Museum, New York and Ernest Lawson, of the Art Students League. New York. The work of the two ar lists is entirely different. Lawson belongs to the Futuristic Impression istic school. the palette knife being used more extensively than the brush while Burroughs work, especially his figure groups, are on the order Of mural decorations, and the influence of Botticeln may be clearly seen in them. Lawson, in his landscap pc; has admirably caught the clear American atmo sphere. Every detail stands out in bold relief; there is no softening mask of haze. or dim suggestion of figures such as one finds in3 the works of Corot and his contemporaries. The criticism has been made that his col ors are too striking, but when the right perspective has been obtain eG, they become diSfused and soften ul- til they melt into 3, harmonious whole.
 An army of 6, ,0OO women selling ar tif1cial flowers in a single day in Paris gathered more than $2O,OOO for the. French Red Cross Society. The cam paign was a special one for the ben eft of the sick and wounded French soldiers in Morocco. The women charity workers sold the little flow. CTS not only in the streets but in the. theatres and the sprincipal cafes and resta aurants. Their richest harvest was at the Ve1odrome on the, night of the Johnson-Mo fight. Al though the flowers were selling for only two cents many of the specfa- tors in the ringside seats dropped sil- yer and gold into the collecting boxes.
 A nnon1lrnent which-ais to be unveil- ed soon in memory of Pierre Berthe- lot. the great French chemist, in front of the College de France, is an unusuaI memorial. The sculptor. Paul de Saint Marceaux, has not only made a statue of the chemist alone Q which includes his wife and the great writer Ernest Renan, author of The Life of Jesus." All three were for. years united in the closest bonds of friendship. Renan, who was the first to die, was long nnourned by the Berthelots, who outlived him some fifty years and who then died on the same night.
 Jahfa. July 25.-An amusing story of oriental justice comes from, the arrest of an Austrian subject of twenty years residence here for in sulting the Turkish flag. The Aus trian had walked about the streets with the flag wrapped around one shoe As it was clear that he wore the flag in this fashion in order to of ; fend the Turks. and as the Austrian lconsuI with the backing of a power full government demanded the mans release. the Turk on the bench wise | ly saved the honor of both countries | by this ruling.
 ''The cause of the offense is the shoe" ruled the resourceful court. 'fYou can therefore take the man, and we will keep the shoe" sNss
 l The Austrian was then released, while the offending shoe is still ..do- ing t1me.Y
