NIGHTS BEAUTY IS HIDDEN
Few Artists Have Been Given the
Ability 70 Depict Its Proper
Glory and Majesty.

One Of the perpetual regrets OF
painters is the unattainable beauty Of
night. Whistler's successful Noe
turnes are Of early twilight.
The later hour. when the worlds
vast shadow weighs on us, seems un
realizable in paint.
Even Crome. perhaps the greatest
master of nightfall pictures. could not
go beyond the twilight.
The perfect medium for darkness
vas discovered by Turner, whose sci
Of engraved Moonlights are among the
most precious works that man has
made.
There are but about a dozen en-
graved and printed by the master
They so far transcend his colored
drawings, from which they were de
rived, as to prove that black and
white can conjure up the spirit Of
night more %potently than color.
But they are not ordinary mezzo
tints; they are creative rather thar
reproductive; no one but Turner could
have done them. nor could he have
communicated their secret to his en-
gravers.

Garden Plants In History.

Which is the Oldest flower In our
gardens? The question was raised
over our dahlia blooms, which like the
fuchsia. come originally from Mexico.
The first plants to appear here were
grown at Holland house from seed sent
home by Lady Holland from Spain In
1879. In the previous year Sir Joseph
Ranks introduced the %hydrangea. The
fuchsia had then been known among
us already for close on a century. A

HOLY GRAIL MERELY LEGEND
Green Crystal Vase Found BY Baldwin
In Ruins Of cesarea is only
So Called.

Few places are more absolutely
cities of the past than Cesarea. Some
has spoken of the remains OF its
ancient glory as the ruin of ruins
The medieval town which was twice
rebuilt by the Crusaders covered
scarcely a tenth of the area occupied
by the city as ST. Paul knew IL, and
the ruins that we see today r chiefly
the relics of the medieval city, which
was itself built out OF the ruins OF
the ancient city.
What a rich quarry Cesarea has
been for other city builders Is shown
by the fact that, though II has been
drawn upon for all these centuries
for marble and granite and sandstone,
1t is not yet absolutely exhausted, but
still affords building material for the
peasants of the vicinity.
The green crystal vase which was
found here when Baldwin l. the great
Crusader, captured the city at the be.
ginning of the twelfth century, says
the Christian Herald. gave rise to the
story of the Holy Grail, which has in.
spired so many legends and poems,
for Baldwin and his followers believed
that 1t was the one that was used at
the Last Supper by our Lord, when
he gave his disciples the cup Of wine
and said: Drink we all of II; this do

Aneients Used Gas Warfare.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
m siege warfare Is recorded in the
history OF the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B. G. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Epartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui.
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls Of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less dificult.
