Few Price Drops Not Enough.

In a few foodstuffs the prices had de-
clined. but in nothing like the proportion
in which the supply had increased. For
example, the stock Of canned tomatoes
had increased 1872 PER cent, and yet the
price had declined only % cents per
dozen cans. In some cases there had
been the usual result Of an increase OF
price following a decrease Of supply, but
in almost every instance the increase OF
price had been disproportionate to the
decrease in stock.

In spite of her preoccupation with
the problem of Fiume, Italy is doubt
less finding time this month to COM
memorate the name and fame of
Leonardo da Vinci. He died in France
on May 2, 1919, and in the four CEN
turtles that have elapsed since then
there has been only one man of a
kindred type of universal genius known
TO the world, Shakespeare, who died
almost q hundred years later. The
learned and artistic bodies of Italy are
now hailing him as one of the supreme
memories of the nation, and every
where those who care for the things
Of the mind are bound to share in their
fervor. He is classic, If ever there
WAS one, and, like all true classics, he
smbodies ideas and principles in which
the most modern of the moderns may
renew his artistic vitality
There are, in q sense, two Leonardos

evocation of beauty. Never did a tech
nician more steadily throw US back
upon the subtler elements of his work.
1t is in these that the modern artist
mas his lesson. Leonardo sets before
him an heroic standard of workman
ship. He was, in mastery Of the proc
esses OF art, positive demigod As
a draughtsman, for example, Michael
Angelo alone is his peer. It is hone
less to try to match him, to borrow
his skill. But "the Leonardesque,"
considered as an inspiration, has had
and must always have mavellously
leavening influence. There were Renais-
sance painters in ombardy who recapt-
ured something of it's glow. In the
paintings of Boltratfio, of Cesare da
Sesto, of Solario and others you can
see how his tenderness, his grace, his
capitalization of tangible things were
extraordinarily emulated No one in
his senses could imagine their revival
to-day IN terms modelled closely upon
Leonardo's practice The time for that
kind of emulation is gone. But in re-
calling us to beauty he performs a
service by which the modern artist can
profit as we'll as did the artist of
the Renaissance. Leonardo, who could
delineate with overwhelming eloquence
the ugliness of life and the terror of
death, has left us, more than anything
else, tradition of the radiant, flower
like loneliness that is to be found in
nature and that can be expressed in
art. The commemorations in Italy can

pecially into the complex aspects of the
subject. In the current number Of
"Scribner's Magazine" there is an in
teresting and valuable paper by Mr..
George Sarton, of the Carnegie Insti-
tute, on "The Message of Leonardo"
He is engaged, he tells US, on the es-
Establishment of O standard text of
Leonardo's writings and, accordingly
we are not surprised to find his essay
an analysis of the masters "relation
to the birth of modern science" In
our time, and in view of its prevailing
drifts Of thought and activity, there
are bound to be many tributes to the
scientific aspects of Leonardo's career.
Mr. Sarton we'll brings out their solid
Importance. In the anticipation of the
flying machine, notable episode which
he traverses, we have only one of a
host Of points of contact which may
be established between the fifteenth
century Florentine and ourselves. But
the other Leonardo is he who is more
quickly brought to mind by mention Of
twentieth century, and he is the prop
erty of the lover of beauty. When we
speak of "the Leonardesque" we think
not of his achievements as. scientist
but of the ideal of loveliness which he
created. 1t towers above all that the
scholars may seek to force upon our
attention. 1t is true that he left be-
hind him but comparatively small
number of works of art ard that he
himself as Mr.. Sarton reminds US, was
no less proud of being an engineer
than of being a painter. Nevertheless,
for the bulk of mankind, the paintings
and drawings will continue to mean
Leonardo as the plays continue to mean
Shakespeare.
The only portrait we have of him is
the drawing in the library at Turin,
which shows US the head Of an old man,
and the power of the association Of
ideas is such that one hardly ever.
thinks of him save as an aged type of
wisdom. He appeals to the magma
ton not simply as old in knowledge and
thought, indeed, but as a kind of an
cient seer, a mystic, living aloof from
the common world. Yet it is desirable
to check such an impression, to keep a
firm grasp upon the very human foun-
dations of this colossal genius. His
manuscripts yield helpful passage in
the note he writes apropos of one of
the apprentices he was wont to take
into his bottega at five lire the month
"Giacomo came to live with me on the
Feast of st. Mary Magdalen, 1902 he
says. "Ho was ten years old The

style would remain merely sensnors
IN another hand. With Leonardo all
that is sensuous in it is raised to a
higher power, made spiritual. Because
he was complete technician he could
90 anything, and among the drawings
which are indispensable to study of his
art there are many which reveal in
him tremendous power. Battle
scenes, for example, notably inspired
hlm. He could draw their broad move
ment, and he could draw the faces of
individual fighters, distorted by pas
sion But it is in his finer subjects
that he leaves the finest impression.

miracle of tenderness. We are thrilled

scum, but we are bewitched and haunt
ed by those heads of women and maid

we feel he must have dreamed
1t is an infinitely delicate beauty,
sprung from truth, but refined to
point which leave it, indeed, we'll

Leonardo filings it over the heads of
his feminine types; he plays with it

defining the tendrils of their hair.
