LEONARDO'S STYLE OF ART.



to Kenyon Cox.
Leonardo a Vinci was tireless stS
dent of all II ds of natural phenomena
and Of many things he had learned q
great deal that has been rediscovered
only in our own time. Among other
things, as his notebooks prove, he had
studied effects of transmitted and re-
Hected light, understood the difference
between diffused daylight and sunlight
with its crisp edged shadows, saw the
blue shadow which has been introduced
into modern painting by the impress
sionists and knew the reason of It.
He attempted none Of these things in
painting, and he tells us why. These
things, he says, after a long descrip-
tion of the effects of sunlight upon
foliage-of the color Of the sky In the
high lights, of the yellow light where
the sun shines through the leaf and
the interruption of this light where the
shadow of one leaf falls upon another
these things should not be painted
because they confuse the form"
The Slorentine ideal In art was the
utmost realization Of form. Leonardo
was true FlOrentine, and he intro
duced into painting just SO much of
light and shade as should assist In this
realization, no more. 1t is his use Of
modelling that is his most personal con-
tributiOn to art.
Much rhapsodical nonsense has been
written about the "Mona Lisa" and her
enigmatic smile, and there have been
endless speculations as to her charac-
ter and the meaning Of her expression.
1t is all beside the mark. The truth
Is that the "Mona Lisa" Is a study OF
modelling, little more. Leonardo had
discovered that the expression Of smil-
ing is much more a matter of the mod
cling Of the cheek and of the forms
below the eye than Of the change In
the line of the lips. 1t interested him
with his new power of modelling, tC
produce a smile wholly by these deli
cate changes OF surface. hence the mys
terious expression.
Poets may find LA Gioconda" vam
pire or what not. To artists with q
sense of form her portrait will always
be masterpiece because 1t is one ol
the subtlest and most exquisite pieces
Of modelling in existencs.-Kenyon Cos

OF us are stupid and lazy and we don't

STRATEGY OF THE B0ER.
De Vets Glover Escape When Hsmmsd
In by the Enemy.


or the three great figures that emerg-
ed on the Boer side in the war of de-
fense that developed after Ladysmith,
Botha, De Wet and Delarey. De Wet
was the most impressive. His face was
a study in resistance, says Harold
Spender In General Botha-The Career
and the Man" Looking on him, one
could understand the fear that he In
spired in his own men. But 1t was his
schemes of escape, almost miraculous
In their cunning, that perpleyed an en-
pire and puzzled a planet.
One evening after long days march
so he told us-all his wanderings
seemed to have come to an end. The
lights Of the British bivouac fires twin
kled from every point of the horizon.
De Wet, as was his wont, went apart
from his men and sat alone in dumb
despair. Then there came to him soft
" one Of those wonderful scouts who
served him so well. The scout had dis
covered slight gap in the British
lines between two regiments that were
not quite keeping touch.
In a moment De Wet was on his
feet. Within an hour every horses
foot was muffled with cloth or wool
and every wagon wheel was swathed.
The Boer campfires were lighted and
were left burning brightly. Then the
whole Boer force crept out through the
darkness of the night In utter silence,
penetrated the gap in the British lines
and started on new course Of fugi-
tive warfare.

The Importance of ella county in the
mining activity of the state is shown
by the fact that almost one-fourth of
the states production Of copper came
from here during 1914. With the In
ternational smelter producing one
hundred and fifty million pounds of
copper annually and the capacity of the
Old Dominion's plant increased, ella
county will furnish in the future a
still larger production.
Twenty-Five producers in ella county
reported an output in 1914 of 1,513,SOe
tons of ore, an increase of 12.lS0 tons
over that produced by Is properties
in 1913. The total average value per
ton of the ore decreased from s75S
to $3.50 in 1919, and the gold and sill
yer value per ton from II to Is cents
All the metals decreased in value. Gold

The school is organized on the six
six basis, with the first six years con-
stituting the elementary or grammar
school, and the last SIX years the high

is about thirteen hundred, of which
three hundred are in the high school,
or the last six years of school, and nine
hundred in the first six years, or the
elementary school. The distribution of
the first six grades is as follows: First
grade, 225; second grade, 100, third

grade teachers S92.50.
At the present time three general
courses are offered, as follows: The
college preparatory, University of Ari-
iona, general college preparatory and
the commercial which consists of a
two and a four-year course. This de-
