passage which throws a little light on

say, that a man Of Signorelh's spirit
should treat poetical incidents derived
from the books of ancient Greece with
peculiar pleasure, at the period when
Greek literature was studied with so
much interest, and that he should prize
the occasions of doing so in proportion
to their rarity. The attraction which
such incidents might have for educated
people was confined to the highest and
wealthiest class, and we know of no
one for whom Signoreln might hope to
paint them, except Lorenzo de- Medici
or a Pandolfo Petrucci. Yasari states

The paintings by Mr.. John wenger,

fsnciful vein which just falls short Of
the sparkle which the artist doubtless
had in view. His color is promising, and
he has an ingratiating romantic senti-

muddy, and in general he suggests an
imperfect command over his instru-

world Of devotional subjects painted,
year in and year out, for an exacting
church. We talk, and talk justly. about
the sincerity OF art in the ages of
faith and the consequent vitality Of
the religious painting Of that time. But
Signorelli quite as much as any Of his
contemporaries, and more, perhaps,
than some OF them In his artistic circle,
was intensely human. There were times
when he simply had to turn from the
Madonna and her saints TO purely
earthly forms and to themes far re-
moved from those TO be found in the
Scriptures.
With him, as it happened, the earth
ly forms were of even greater i'm
portsnce than the imponderable ele-
ments in pagan hypothesis. his
passion for the nude was so persistent
that it crops out in his religious de-
signs. There is a portrait OF his, too,
in which the head of a sedate Floren-
tine is painted against background
wherein two nude figures are grouped,
for no reason, apparently, save that
Signorelli enjoyed placing them there.
The "Pan" itself might easily enough
be accounted for on the same terms,
as an essentially academic study. But
in that case would it leave the same
impression Of authentic fancy? In
that case would we feel so sure that
something romantic had passed that
way? The truth is that the pan"

The hardest fighting would doubt
less be at Gomez Palacio and Lerdo,
suburbs of Torreon. which are sur
rounded by hills admirably adapted
for artillery on defense. Unfor-
tunately for the Mexicans, they have
little artillery that is any good and
they are poor users of what they
have got. And from the plans below
American field artillery could very
quickly dispose of such batteries.

former struck the MoncloVa olStr1ct,

latter the vicinity of Tampico. AT

doubtless be Monterey, the historic

would have to be taken. Assuming
that army transports under cover of

such force could easily fight its way
