Mrs Leisenring's latest work. made
at Miss Perrie weekly sketch club,

Pictures and Antiques.
Among Mrs. Leisenring's interest
ing csnvasses is a portrait of her
father, for which the artist received
a Washington Corcoran prize a few
years ago. Another, in brilliant
coloring and Oriental costume. is
that Of Raphael Emmanuel. a native
OF Sesopotamia and son Of the chief
Of his tribe there.
The original of Mrs. LeIsenring's
''Mid-Victorian," a still life group
greatly admired at the Arts Club
when exhibited there. is an old
fashioned shell-flower piece under
glass. with walnut base. Not unlike
the former waX-flowers, but more
elaborate and less fragile. the work
OF vari-colored flowers made OF
shells represents infinite labor, the
work of a great aunt of Mr.. Leisen-
ring. They belong 70 those vanished

Prehistoric SkeIetons

The skeletons of a prehistoric ele- phant and a prehistoric OK have just been found at a depth of 45 feet be- low the soil of London, when excava- tions were made for a building in Re- gent street. The bones date back to the days when the world was young, and mammoths, giant elephants and hippOpotami lived in the great semi tropical marshes of what is now Eng land.
 The finding of such traces of for mer ages is not a novelty in this ge- Ologically old country. A few years ago a lump of ivory weighing 16 pounds was dug up at Chelsea, and was found on investigation to be a mammOth's tooth. The skull of an enormous rhinoceros was dug up in Fleet street recently. In 1901 a lead coffin, cOntainig the bones of a human being, believed to have lived 4OOO years ago, was unearthed in north LOndOn.-London Mail.
