They are rough and hard land have nothing of the palpitating life that one sees in Rodins work. In addi- ton to the heads are some figures in the Egyptian style that are much finer Some of these figures are extremely clever ex- amples of smplfication.
 Davidson has place in the south of France, where he is known as a great walker. He has tramped over much of France and one would nave thought that he would have brought back with him many impr essions of the strong, simple country life of France. Evidently this phase of life has not appealed to him, for with the exception of a single figure of a child which is most unconvincing, we see nothing of 1t in this collection of his re- cent works

London. July S.-(speeial)-Tnose crit les who have complained of the meanness of the American government in ,ewarding its diplomats abroad and who are agi- tating for living wage for ambassadors and others would do well to read the re- cent disclosure hy Sir Arthur Nicholson, permanent under secretary of state for foreign affairs in the British government.
 According to Sir Arthur, who Is really the directing genius of "pef-tidious All hion's'' foreign affairs. candidates for po- sitions in the English diplomatic service are first asked to guarantee that they have an independent income of at least $9c0O a year. This is -aot done with the idea of limiting the positions to young men of the moneyed class, but simply to be sure that the man can live in for eisn capital.
 ''lTor the first two years when he goes abroad" Sir Arthur continued. Che gets TO salary at all, and even for his early years as third and second secretary, his salary is very modest, and especially as an attache, he has to go to some of the bigger capitals, and living there is very expensive. and if one were not sure that he had a certain minimum to live upon we should have series of banlSrupts dotted over Europe. In St. Petersburg, for instance, my last post, I was frequent ly asked by parents what was tte min imum on which all attaehe could live. l could lodge one or two at the embassy, but if not lodged there I always told them $S500 a year was the minimum to live on in St. Petersburg.
 Tt Is not SO much q cheaper mode of living" he said. Tt is really the excessive prices which, as in New York, men have to pay for the bare necessities of life. The vice consui's salary is really the sal ary of a skilled artisan in New York"

Result of Bad Luck

'The raise in fire insurance rates. 1t appears to me- is the result of bad luck more than anything else," said President George--Ward of the city commission and head of the city fire department, yester- day.
 We intend to do everything to secure the raises rescinded and I believe we can do it. There Is no doubt but what we have one of the best fire departments in the entire world. Birmingham is famous Tor many things, but for none any more than it's wonderful fire department"
 There has been some blame for the Insurance raises placed against the fire department and against the city commits sioners. In answer to question in regard to this. Mir. Ward said
 ''The fire department is decidedly not t" blame. It is not only good, but we are imr rowing it. For somatime we havo been negotiating to spend thousands of dol lars in completely motorizing the depart ment l do net believe that the under writers association understand the situa- tion here when they made those raises and when we explain it to them I believe we will get satisfaction
 Tt appears there has just been an epi- demic of fires. That's not the fire de- rartment's fault. They don't start fires. But considering the number they have had to fight, the department has made a record which speaks for itself. In the number of fires we have been unfortunate There seems to be no place to lay the blame. We are fast eliminating the shin gle roof. We have close inspection of fire risks. We do not deserve the increase in Iatesi'

Far Reaching Change

"ft has been lately, and very truly. said:
 "'The United States in our time is undergoing profound and far-reaching changes The first great chapter of the nations history Is closing with the pass ing of the public lands. From the earliest years of our national existence almost until the present, the main work of our people was to acquire and to occupy the public domain, continental in extent. This continent, however, Is now practically oc- cupied; there are no longer great stretches of free land rich with all manner of un- owned, undeveloped resources We have come. consequently, to new national bases of life. and are forming new national habits. Our country. in truth, has en- tered a period of fundamental readjust- ment-economic. social and political.'
 'In this fundamental readjustment there will be proposed many new economic theories of government; many social pan aceas; many political poultices, but none of these should cause us to forget that the earth supports us, that whatever em- barrasses and Is a burden to agriculture the very foundation of all wealth-harms society. and whatever contributes to agri- culture contributes to the happiness of the human family"

Suicide Club Once More
From the London Chronicle. Fro mthe London Chronicle.

Fro mthe London Chronicle.
 People who know Stevenson's New Arabian Nights rubbed their eyes in Leicester Square yesterday afternoon, for coming towards them was the young man of "The Suicide Club'' in evening dress. distributing cream tarts from tray, just as Prince Florizel saw him.
 He approached an old gentleman, made a courtly bow, presented cream tart daintily. and said, "Sir will you honor a stranger by accepting this?" The old gentleman's mouth was already wide open with astonishment-wide enough for two or three tarts to go in abreast-and he took the pastry with puzzled air. Then the people crowded round, and the young man was soon handing out cream tarts as fast as he could. Old and young, rich and poor, accepted them, and many a dainty pair of gloves had to be cleaned last night, for you cannot clutch cream tart with out being defiled.
 A member of the Veterans Corps who accompanied the young man. distributed cards which bore the words:
 The Young Man With
 the Cream Tarts.

 GEORGE B. WARD, President,
 Board of Commissioners"
 One of the features of the increase in rates, which has caused much comment among those affected, was the fact that no one in Birmingham. except, of course, the underwriters, was advised of the impending increase. MT. Ewing in his telegram points out that Birmingham is entitled to fair play. George Me Cleery thinks that this city was not treated fairly because the matter was apparently kept secret until the rate had been passed upon.
 Exchange Issues Statement
 The Birmingham Fire and Casualty exchange had no advance information as to the increase in rates. The ex- change appointed a committee yester- day which issued the following state ment for the public:
 Relative to the raise of 15 per cent in fire insurance rates in Greater Br- mingham, we wish to explain that same has been made by the companies doing business here, 1t being due, not only to the enormous losses sustained this year. but also to the steady loss suf- fered by the companies writing here for several years past.
 "A little over year ago officials of practically all of the companies doing business in Birmingham met here to look into the situation, and their com mittee recommended a 25 per cent rate advance and other remedial measures The Birmingham agents persuaded them to defer such action by agreeing to use all their efforts to improve conditions and prevent fire waste. Much has un- doubtedly been accomplished by thor ough inspections, and 'the city commis- sioners and the chief of the fire depart ment have shown all willingness to as- sist in every way possible under the
