In which she had been laid TO rest.

overwhelming and thrilling the soul
at the sight of this Rome which twice
assumed the dominion of the world. y
And, not to dwell too insistently on
this side of our subject-this mystery
OF space and light. blended with the
past sense OF tremendous destiny,
which destroys the weak, incites the
nero to greatness, and is fateful to
all-who has expressed in any lam

Such life here. through such lengths

Such miracles performed in play,
Such primal naked forms of flowers,
Such letting Nature have her way

1t was natural that these qualities,
pictorial as well as artistic, OF the

irresistible attraction to the painters

for 16 years In the early part of the
last century in the custody OF a Con-
gregational theological library, and
during that period 80 volumes OF the
Episcopal library books vanished,
never to be recovered.
While In the custody of the Theo-
logical library the kings chapel col
lection was housed originally In the
ancient First church on the site of
the Rogers building, nearly opposite
the Boston Globe building. Afterward
1t was In the vestry Of the later edi-
fee of the same church in Chauncy-
pl, now Chauncy-st., between Avon-st,
and Bedford-st.
In 1928 the chapel library found its
permanent home in the Boston Athe-
neum, remaining there In stack OF
its own, as matter OF accommoda-
tion on the part OF the Atheneum trus-
tees, till few months ago, when a
mutually satisfactory arrangement
was made between Kings chapel and
the Atheneum, by which King VIII
liam's gift became the property Of the
Atheneum for all time.
Notwithstanding the loss OF 81 vol
umes from the chapel collection. near
ly 100 years ago, the total number OF
volumes Is now 213, or two more than
the number originally given by King
William III. The explanation Is that
there were additions to the library
by gift or purchase during the years
between 1893 and the period Of the
Revolution, which had brought the
total to 251 In 1907, when the Theo-
logical library became for while Gus
todian. One volume seems to have
disappeared since 1923.

QUAINT PERUVIAN
POTTERY EXHIBITED
Prehistoric Relics of Inca Civil,

Museum

NEW YORK. Sept. 25-Prehis.
toric pottery from Peru. OF quality
and finish superior to any other simi-
lar relics OF Inca civilization. has
been acquired by the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History by the gift
OF A. ID. Juillard There are 4l2 ex-
|amples representative OF the most ad-
vanced art in this line yet found in
Peru. The collection occupies show
cases in the Peruvian hall OF the mu-
scum. in the corner furthest from the
entrance, and visitors who loiter by
the way may easily appreciate the
superiority OF this ware over other
pottery excavations.
Its pre-eminent characteristic lies
In the beauty OF painted decoration
and In the high degree OF skill In
firing, which has preserved the poly
chrome treatment almost undimmed
for uncounted centuries. AS In other
Inca pottery, the decorative motives
are drawn largely from the human
figure, birds, fist, cats, mythological
animal combinations and geometric
designs. The colors used are white
yellow. blue and red In various
shades, pink. brown. violet, gray and
black. and the forms employed were
usually OF vessels used for yotive Of
ferings or other sacred purposes or
Tor holding water or other liquid.
Many OF the vessels are nodded
something on the style that became
the vogue In Europe and this country
IN fantastic toby mugs and other gro
tesque designs. and which found imi-
tations In this country In colonial
times and are now highly priced as
curios--with the important difference
that the Peruvian ware is thin and
intended for delicate use, and it's de.
signs and colors were applied with
artistic taste and care. The art in
Peru probably reached its height be-
lore the Christian era. The toby mug

DAY OF JOBLESS MEN

Chicago, Feb. 11.-April 1 is to be
"jobless day" just as September 1 is
Labor day.
Resolutions to this effect have been
adopted by the United Brotherhood
Welfare association. More than 1000
persons, most of them unemployed
workers, voted upon the resolutions,
copy of which was forwarded to
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor.
Gompers was called on to give pub
licity to the movement through the va
rious channels of the federation and
asked for an immediate endorsement
of what was described as "day of
protest demonstrations against the ma
tion-wide scourge of conditions which
are responsible for the unemployment
of a great army of men, which will be
observed every year until this mon
strous wrong is thing of the past.
