could not face the fighting Huns,
nor vet endure the German swat.

fore the monarch bending low,
-'vour orders I'll obey with pride,

play before the bush league fans.
But. oh. how Nicholas came back.
and led his has-beens to the front.
and gave the Turks a deadly

japanese Work Shown.

Among the unique and complete ex-
hibits japanese woodcutting and woodcut
printing of pictures in color form spe-
cial feature. A complete set of tools and
materials for such work is shown. to-
sether with several series of completed
color blocks and successive proofs of the
different color printinss leading UP to
the finished picture.
1t is interesting to know how closely
the processes of engraving and etching
are allied, and how they are combined in
single work of art. The picture OF
Ariadne, engraved by y. b. Durand. and,
incidentally. the first important engrav-
ing made in this country IS35), is good
example of combined engraving and etch-
ing; the background and setting is for
warded by etching, while the figure is en-
graved. A series of successive proofs
shows how the work OH the plate pro-
gressed and to what extent the artist i'm
proved and developed it before he took
another proof.
