through his portraits and profound

OF such great value did the British
government consider these pictures,
not only as works of art, but as
historic documents. that many of the
canvases were carried from France
to England in airplanes When
obliged to send them by water only

fear of it's loss by submarines or
mines. That they were allowed to
be brought to America is proof, of
the great desire of the English to
share with us these documentary evil

great events of the season, Owing
10 the death of Mr. Chase. one OF
its most active and businesslike MEM
bers, as well TO the stagnation
caused by the war of all things per-
taining to art, no exhibition was held
last year, nor had any plans been
made for this season. That the work
OF such strong Independent painters
should not be seen by the public was
a distinct loss to art, and the trus-

ciety which will certainly be appre-

At least forty canvases will be
shown, not all new, but for the most
part never before exhibited in Wash

A few belong to the Charles l.. Freer
collection of Detroit, notably the two
exquisite little pastels by Thomas

the lovely White Pasture" by Will

been given by MIR. Freer to the
Smithsonian Institution, and will
therefore remain in Washington.

Economy Of Speech.

The country as a whole has lost the
hang" Of speaking English. Some
people proudly state that America is
no longer British colony, that she
is creating language of her own,
and. to prove their independence. they
make practice Of incorporating into
our speech sounds without definite
edges, sounds trailing clouds of NUT
tered murmurs, sounds of such ele-
mental simplicity that they resemble
grunts, taken over from the speech Of
persons who have come to US from all
the non-English speaking countries Of
the world. And, In their love of equal
lty and fraternity. these people re-
fuse to exceed the speech Of those
whose simple needs are satisfied with
frugal vocabulary; in this way they
nave succeeded in cutting down their
own vocabulistic rations to the famine
point. Lavish, generous, wasteful In
other matters, the country has learned
to economic in sentence and syllable,
till it has reached genuinely demo-
cratic simplicity Of speech.-Henry

Instinct Of Animals,

order when their food markets are

squirrels ability to know when his
various foods come onto the market
has been cited in Forest Leaves: Il
have two large white pine trees under
observation. They produce few
cones, and the cones usually mature
a few seeds. I can always tell when
those seeds are matured enough for
planting, because the very day they
are so matured the red squirrel, who
devotes much Of his time to robbing
birds nests. appears and begins to ex-
tract the seeds for food Did he watch
the tree by day and by night for weeks

In the Grip Of Liuht,

A student Of physical science says
that 1t is not because the moth Is
f1ght-hearted, needless and utterly
frivolous that 1t plunges headlong into
the flames, but because Of the way
that its body Is constructed. There
are two symmetrical points, exactly
alike chemically, on the moths body
namely, its eyes. If the rays Of light
modify the chemical condition Of one
side more than the other, then the
moths power Of movement is affected.
There Is a stronger muscular tension
on one side than on the other. Il,
however, one Of the eyes is removed,
the chemical symmetry is destroyed,
and instead Of plunging into the flame
1T moves about in the circle. There
are other animals and insects besides
the moth which are hopelessly in the
grip Of light. If snail is placed be-
tween a white wall and a black wall
the unequal lighting forces it to crawl
in circle.
