PsriIs of Pearl DIVING.

Though diving bells were taken to
Ceylon in 1925 for use in the pearl
fishery. neither they nor the European
diving dress can compete with the
naked native. Arab divers use a sort
Of horn clip with which to close their
nostrils when under water. but the
CeyIon diver holds his nostrils with
his hand only until such time as he
reaches the sea bottom. The average
time that a Tamil remains below is
between fifty and sixty seconds, while
an Arab remains under water between
eighty and ninety seconds. Occasion

estimation Of their strength. collapse
at the bottom and are brought up dead.

Isetuai Treat For Holiday visitors at
New Years Rsoeption--R. n. Lswis'
Fine Record at AdsIphi College.
Brooklyn.-An exhibition Of original
drawings by the sketch class Of the
Pen, Pencil and Brush club was one Of
the chief attractions at the New Years
reception Of the Carlton avenue branch
Of the Y. M. g. A. in this city. The
club is a new organization, under the
direction Of r. II. Lewis, who is well
known in Brooklyn, having finished
his art course at Adelphi college two
years ago.
During his course Of study at Adel-
phi college Mr.. Lewis was awarded
first prize in competitions for three
consecutive years and is now devoting
his time to illustrating and portrait
painting at his studio In shrooba pal
ace, 1868 Fulton street. He exhibited
several pieces Of his best specimens of
life drawing in portraits and figures.
One Of his portraits which attracted
most attention was that Of the late
Rev. A. j. Henry. founder Of the Carl
ton avenue branch Of the Y. M. 9. A.
This portrait was done in crayOn, life
size. displaying splendid technique and
depicting very fine likeness. Anoth-
er portrait which attracted attention
was life size In sanguine represent
Ing Christ, which was drawn from one
Of New York's most famous artists
models. Mr.. Lewis showed other
drawings done In different mediums.
displaying superior skill and careful
workmanship. He is sparing no pains
to assist those Of his race who possess
ability and are anxious to develop their
talents in various lines Of art.
Falstaff L. Harris of Washington ex-
hibited some splendid ideas in pen and
Ink, illustrating some works Of Paul
Laurence Dunbar. His cover design
Of Dunbar's lyrics was given a great
deal Of attention. This design was
worked up in most striking tech
niQue and brings forth very strongly
the thought that Mr.. Dunbar was
greatly inspired by nature. Mr.. Har.
ris also exhibited drawings from casts
and still life. He is student In the
normal art course at Pratt institute
and expects to return to Washington
to teach In the public schools.
A very interesting display in cast
and still life drawing was shown in
the work of Ralph Adams of Brooklyn,
who Is one Of the most faithful attend
ants Of the sketch class and expects
some day to make illustrating his pro-
fession. Samuel Blount also Of Brook
lyn, exhibited some studies from the
cast and still life, showed clever ideas
In caricature, and there are prospects
Of his becoming a successful comic
artist. he Is member Of the sketch
class.
The three last mentioned exhibitors
are under twenty one and have receiv-
ed only three months instruction. The
class meets every Thursday evening
at the Carlton avenue branch Of the
Y. M. G. A., where the members draw
from still life, casts and objects. They
are planning to do more serious work
in life drawings in the future.

TEMPTATION.

Cultivate the moral strength to
resist temptation. You can do It il
you will. In itself a temptation is
neither strong nor weak. An op-
portunity to steal a million would
not affect some men and women in
the least. To others It would be
irresistible, because their hearts are
aching with desire for wealth. We
cannot blame our temptations for
our sins. That is neither fair nor
Just. We must look deeper and
own that we alone are accountable
for the wongdoing.
