gers, which is reflected delightfully."- in the
nature of their surroundings. He may know
of the reactions from the evenings, but he
keeps these little tragedies, if there are any
to himself. With even Paris aiming at uni
vcrsaism, Mr.. Caro- Delvaile remains indu-
bitaby Partisan. This may not necessarily
be to say that he is provincial. We shall see
bis American counterpart in Edmund C. Tar
bell, Bostonese painter of Boston"
THIS artist, continues the critic, is
4 really himself, however, in the por-
traits. Of the same exhibit writer in
"The New York Sun" adds:
"1n the present collection Mr.. Caro-Del-
vallc has left tea things far behind and has
embarked upon new career Of frank decora-
tion. He has great refinement of color and
immense erudition. He not only knows the
scholastic laws of design but thousands of
classic applications of them. Being modern
and Partisan, he is not only also Greek but
q Japanese, and mystic and realist The
great danger of erudtion, OF course, is the
temptation Of its possessor to steer for all
the ports. But each voyage ends of course
at one port.''
ITO THE art critic of "The New York
L. Times" the work Of Mr.. Caro-Del-
vaille is interesting first because of its
relation to the new movement in the direc.
ton of coordinated decoration in France
He declares:
ITO mako an end of houses decorated in
a style of the past, with the worn and tar
nished furnishings of the past, softly dimmed
and exquisitely harmonized, would offend not
only archeologists, but connoisseurs of sen
sitive taste and cautious instincts But to
create new houses in which the present
tendencies of art may be expressed; to find
style that has grown from the tradi-
tions Of the past; to give decorative pictures
their place as decoration and easel pictures

A "Cubistic" Madonna

Emily Stcvens, IN "The Madonna
Of the F'utuye," 9 satire By Alan Dale,
produced By Olircr Morosco at the
Byoadhuyst Theatre Monday night.
THERE comes somewhere in the ca
reer of most dramatic critics time
when the dramaturgic urge grows
too lusty to be put down. Probably very
few critics have not to answer for play,
produced or still unproduced. Now comes
forward one of New York's best known re-
viewers with a new play. And his brother
critics have been led . merry pace.
Louis V. De Foe, in "The World" OBJ
served:
at is easy to guess what Alan Dale was
trying for when he wrote the comedy at the
Rroadhurst Theatre which he calls THE
Madonna of the Future A dramatic review
er who has spent thirty years watching the
unending stream of plays by others flow by
becomes fearfully acute to the banalitics and
conyentonalities which are at the root of 90
per cent Of them. Of all things about plays
that eventually get on his nerves these are
the worst. SO when Mr.. Dale dared to be-
come victim Of his victims and write a play
himself, to avoid what is bana was his main
dramatist's endeavor and was content to be-
come just absurd.'
"Of course" continues "The Evening
Journal
"bcing satire, Mr.. Dalc's stage story deals
with the question in a serio-comic way only.
Furthermore, the fact that it bristles with
the eplgrams and repartee of a super-nimble
mentality prevents it from becoming at any
time, what carefully raised American
matron might describe as mot quite quite u"
1t was all about woman who wanted to
have children out of wedlock She did have
a child, but in the last act decided she
loved the child's father too much to risk
losing him. Matrimony, she discovered. is
much safer than the new" way. So the
madonna of the future went to the altar
after all.
John Corbin, in "The World" calls her
"a cubistic madonna" and of the piece he
writes:
"Thc manners Of Mr.. Dale's comedy are
dynamic throughout. being quite shocking
and aggressvcly bad. as is the custom in
such plays. 1t is so in Wilde and Shaw. with
whom this kind Of comedy got its start
among US, and 1T is very much so in Dale
But the ideas are static. They get no for

such" as these attested the thorough de-
light of the critics: 'The adoring mutt.

Throughout the empire Of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members of the adult popu-
lation follow professionally the pursuit
Of ~fattening young ladies for the mat
rimonial market of Barbary.
The Moors, like the Turks and most
other Orientals, give a decided prefer
ence to 'moon-faced" wives over lean
ones, and are more solicitous as to the
number Of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock Of accom-
pllshments they possess.
A girl is put under the process or
~fattening when she is about twelve
years of q Her hands are tied be-
hind her and she Is seated on a carpet
during so many hours every day, while
her papa" stands over her with a
stick, and her mother, at times, pops
into her mouth q ball of stin maize
porridge, kneaded up with grease and
Just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
If the unfortunate girl declines to be
stuffed she is compelled by torture
and gulps down the boluses, lest she
should be beaten.

WORE WORK FOR BUSY BEES
Artificial Comb, Patented by a Woman,
Enables Larger Output by
the Honey Producers.

Undoubtedly the most important in
vention ever produced by a woman was
the machine for making artificial comb
foundation for beehiyes. The idea was
originated by Frances A. Durham, who
patented the contrivance in 1881, says
an exchange.
To produce material for comb build
ing is for the bee very expensive. 1t
uses up at least ten times as much Of
her gathered products, bulk for bulk,
rs is required for honey making.
Hence the obvious economy of provid-
ing her with a ready-made comb of
beeswax turned out from a machine.
Another advantage is that all the
cells of the artificial comb are made
Of worker" size, so that the eggs laid
in them by the queen bee (the mother
Of the hive) produce workers only and
no idle drones.
The workers build up the cell walls
on the "ground-floor" pattern fur
nlshed for them, and (barring those
used for brood purposes) fill them
with honey. Being relieved Of the
bother and expense Of making their
own comb foundation, their output of
money is prOportiOnately augmented.

Origin of a Postal Custom.

The steamship Oregon was lost of
Fire Island on March IA, 1886, states
the New York Sun. She was rammed
by a coastwise schooner, remaining
aloat for half an hour, a time which
made 1t possible to save every person
aboard. When her mail was ished up
and delivered the pieces were stamp
ed with a statement that they had
been In the wreck, the first instance OF
a practice which is now employed by
direction of the International Postal
union. The credit for this simple de-
vice is believed to be due to Edward
NJ. Morgan, at that time In a subordi-
nate position In the New York post
office, who foresaw that a few mi
utes' work with a rubber stamp
would forestall an infnitude OF com
plant.

Rinns and Moons of Saturn.

The most distinctive feature OF
Saturn is his unique system of rings,
writes Albert ID. Watson In Journal of
the Royal Astronomical Society Of
Canada. These are In the plane of
Saturn's moons, with the exception of
the outermost moon, which is appar-
emily %retrograde in motion. The rings
consist of meteors.
From the center of the planet to
the circumference of its outer ring
there are, first, the 36,500 miles of the
radius of Saturn. From the surface
of the sphere to the inner margin of
the inner rings is 5000 miles. This,
which Is known as the crepe ring, is
12,500 miles in width and runs into
the middle ring which is 1900 miles
wide. Outside the middle ring Is a
space of 1000 miles before the outer
ring, 10000 miles wide, is reached.
Saturn has ten moons, only one Of
which (Titan) is larger than ours. The
first four, like u own and some of
the moon of Jupiter, have been prov
en- to ehrn always the same surface
towards their primary. AS no excep-
ton to this rule has been found, It is
likely that 1t obtains in the cases Of
all moons.

WHERE WILD FOWL BREED
Yukon River and the Lakes OF That
Hyperboresn Region Favored
Spot of Many Birds.

Until the acquisition Of Alaska by
he United States il was n wonder
whore certain wild fowl went when
they migrated from temperate chimes
on the approach of summer as well as
snowbirds and other small species OF
the feathered tribe. Ii was after
ward found, observes a writer In the
Kansas City Journal, that their haD-
itat i'm summer was the waters OF
Alaska-the Yukon river and the lakes
of that hyperborean region.
People wonder where the wild FOWL
come from. They see the sandhlli
crane, the wild goose heron and other
fowl every spring and fall pursue
their unwearied way, but like the wind,
they do not know whence they come
or whittier they go.
Ip on Golovine bay, on he north
side of Norton sound, is the breeding
Mace of these fowls. All the birds
in creation, seemingly, go to that coun-
try TO breed. Geese, ducks, swans
and thousands upon thousands OF sand
hill cranes are swarming there all the
time. They lay their eggs In the blue
stem grass In the lowlands.
Myriads of robins and swallows are
there, as well as millions of magnif-
cent grouse, wearing red combs and
feather m~occasins. This grouse turns
as white as snow in winter.
You can kill dozens of teal ducks
or grouse as fat as butter balls In a
few moments. The wild fowl ana
bears live on salmon berries and
h~uckleberries. with which the hills are
literally covered.

Worlds Champion SpelIer.

Prof. David Jones, the worlds cham
pion speller, retired on a well-earned
pension after schOolteachIng for 80
years in Missouri, notes an exchange.
For 33 years the champion issued an
annual challenge to all Corners to
spell against him. Many tried to
wrest from him his title, but none sue
ceeded.
His record is $4,000 words correctly
spelled straight off the reel at one sit
ting without a single mistake. Pro-
fessor Jones defeated in spelling con-
tests heads of universities, famous
teachers, scholars, authors, and profess
sional proof-readers, and his sideboard
is loaded with silver cups and other
similar trophies, won all over the coun.
try at the ono popular spelling
bees" With him spelling is an art,
just as music or painting or sculp-
ture is an art with others. He pounces
on and treasures a rare and difficult
word as eagerly as an enthusiast does
on a scarce and elusive butterfly.

LONG ISLAND and NEW YORK
Stretch Of Breeze-Swept Sand Has
Been Made to Meet the De-
msnds Of Every Class.

Long Island is the safety valve and
salvation of New York. 1t is hard to
see how the big city could get through
a summer without this hundred miles
of breeze-swept sand, which il can
reach in a few minutes by bridge or
tube or ferry, writes Niksah.
II is a matter of endless admiration
how Long Island has been made to
meet the needs of New Workers of
every taste and income. II has cheap
beaches. where anyone may get a swim
for a quarter, and exclusive beaches
where $4,000 a year is regarded as
poverty. Ii has sport beaches full
of cafes and music, and quiet beaches.
where old ladies knit ON shady pOrches.
II has millionaire suburbs from which
the many are ingeniously excluded
and middle-class suburbs with their
neat little cottages, looking like adj
vertisements out of paint catalogs
stuck primly in the middle of correct
little lawns; and suburbs for those
who have Just enough money to get
out of town in the summer. Most of
these latter are situated in the lagoon
district between Rockaway beach and
the island proper. They stand on stills
in the shallow water, in the midst of
wide green salt meadows. They are
implanted. for the most part, but
tanned into soft grays and puppies by
the sea air. They are alive with chill
dren and stout fishermen with long
poles decorate all the wharves, while
the narrow channels between the
houses are full of rowboats and little
launches. There is more picture and
color in this bit of Long Island than
in all the rest Of 1t put together.

NIGHT SHADOWS IN RUSSIA
Penetrating Light Makes Sleep impos-
sibIe Unless the Traveller Carries
a Blue Curtain.

The particular journey herein re-
corded fell on a white night in June
n of those eerie white nights against

eler carries a canny blue curtain,
Olive Gilbreath writes in the Yale Re
view.
without these blue guards sleep is
out of the question and the senses, pur-
sued by the penetrating light. are
as ragged as the beggars staring
out of the stations. Verst after verst,
hour after hour, the plain unwinds end
lessly. monotonously. like wool from
a skein. A pale incandescence hangs
over the earth, %fringlng objects ghost
ily. Trees blur in the half-light and
grow phenomenally large; izbas and
windmills scrape the sky. A tremor
of primitive terror runs through ones
limbs. One calls to the hills for de-
liverance-but there Is not even a rise
in the groundl With midnight springs
up a delusive promise Of respite from
the light; a shadow creeps reassur-
ingly over the earth, but Ii Is dusk
and not darkness. There Is no re-
prleve. At IL the sun dips below the
horizon; at 2 80 1t balances again like
a replenished bag, splitting its orange
and amethyst food v the earth. The
restless cycle has begun again, and
still the plain unwinds endlessly, mo-
notonously-brightly now. At seven
