BONHEUR'S MASTERPIECE.
Story of the Famous French ArtlHF0
 Painting, "The Horss Falr."

Story of the Famous French ArtlapO
 Painting, "The Horso Falr." In her story of Rosa B0nheur in 'eTales From the Old World and the New" Sophie NJ. Collmann, the author, writing of the artists masterpiece, "The Horse Fair" says:
 Never, surely, had there been so many sketches of horses; they covered the walls, the tables, the chairs, the easels and even the floor, for the world just then held nothing for Rosa but horses. She painted away at them un- til she could have done it with her eyes shut. Every horse In the great picture had been sketched, countless times, and still Rosa felt that she must try just one more pose, ...... t.g....
 "AlI things, however, must come to an end, even sketches, and so in the course of time the Horse Fair was finished. The world has pronounced 1t Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece, for al- though she was to paint many splendid pictures in the years still to come, none would ever quite equal this.
 "'My Parthenon frleze,' she called it in jest, but that is just what 1t is q frieze of horses; there is not much landscape, and the men hardly count and they have usurpei the entire can vas, these ponderous Norman horses, gray, brown and sorrel. ready to stGm- pede out of the picture and taxing all the strength of the blue bloused hos tiers to hold them in. Rosa had wish ed to portray vigorous life and motion, and she knew that she had succeeded.
 Many of her pictures went to for eign lands. and she hoped that this one might remain in France, but 1t, too, went on its travels, and as though the restless horses could not endure quiet, never stopped until 1t had cross ed the ocean, and after many adven- lures was finally tethered in the Met ropOlitan museum, in New York city, far, far away from ROsa's studio"

TANK OF 0IL
 FLOATS O'ER SEA

A correspondent from Katalla, writes the following interesting de- scription to the CordoYa Times of how oil was recently transported.
 A huge oil tank, forty five feet in diameter and twenty feet high, was successfully lowed to It's destin- a+ion n it's own bottom, over ten miles of open sea and over the two dangerous bars in front of Katalla.
 The St. Elias Oil Company, now runnihg 8 refinery at the Katalla oil fields, found 1t necessary to move the tank, which has stood for several years on a hillside at Pete's Point to it's operating plant. Captain Ben Durkee, of the Katalla Lighterage Company, who had charge of the job, went against the advice Of the entire vicinity and de- clded to move it without removing the r!vets and taking 1t to pieces.
 The tank was skidded down the hill to tidewater, and toWed by two launches. It weighs fifteeni tons, has a capacity of 5,2OO barrels and drew six inches of water when afloat
 Captain Durkee, who in the course of his transportation career, has lowed and transported nearly every known object under the sun, says this is the first time he has ever navigated the dangerous wat CTS of Alaska in a tub.

PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBET.
Every Flutter Sends a Plea to HeaVenr

Every Flutter Sends Plea to HeaVenr
 the Natives Believe.
 Encircllng the buildings of Thasa, Tibet, Is the sacred road, merely to walk along which absOlres the mortal from all earthly sins, and many pill grims prostrate themselves for It's en- tire length, thus securing everlasting happiness in their future life.
 The most interesting portion of the sacred road Is where 1t runs through some sharp limestone rocks, carved deeply with figures of Buddha painted in many Colors.
 From the rocks prayer flags are sus- pended on lines running to an island in the river. These prayers are uni versal in Tibet, and so long as they are moving they are recording prayers for the benefit of those who put them up.
 All devotees, men and women, walk, always turning q small hand prayer wheel filled with minute prayers print ed on thin paper, and larger prayer wheels, filed In some cases with tons of paper prayers, are set revolving by the devOut or are sometimes worked by water power. Smaller ones are turned by the hot air rising from but ter lamps.
 Single prayers printed on thin cloth are strung vertically on poles or stretched across open spaces to Autter in the wind and thus send millions of prayers vibrating toward the omnipo- tent for the benefit of some one's soul They are most picturesque. An old lama I once questioned on the sub feet told me that If the person turn ing the wheel truly believed that by doing so he was accommodating merit it would certainly count as a meri- torious action. n."-National Geographic Magazine.
