What's an Angel Like?

About fifteen years ago there was
small tempest in art and church
circles because an eminent sculptor
was discovered preparing female
angels for the Cathedral Of st. John
the Divine. Women were angels, 1t
was generally admitted. but angels
were not women; at least not the
angels of tradition.
Now there is another fuss about
angels. These are the winged fig
ures which a European artist has
painted for a West Side church. 1t
is objected that these angels have
a lazy look; that they seem to slouch.
Their hands are called awkward,
their faces unbeautiful.
No man may know, until he is
called to the society OF the angels,
what an angel is like. 1t is impos-
sible. to visualize a pure spirit. But,
as we have 1t from the Psalmist that
man is a little less than the angels,
then 1t is natural II an angel is put
on canvas or carved in stone to make
him a little more than man.
The artists conception Of an angel
was slow to develop and will be slow
to disappear. 1t was not until Con-
srANTINE's time that painters put
wings on angels. But always the
great artists have tried to imbue an
angel with all possible beauty. That
is why the sculptor of st. Johns
made them women. That is why
there is objection now to an awk
ward angel with an ordinary face.
Each individual has his own con
ception of an angels appearance. He
may be swayed by the poetry o.
MILTON or the painting of Fra AN
sELIco. But no two conceptions
agree exactly. 1t is only In thu
sweet bye and bye that we shal
know who, if any, was right.

Spelling Foreign Names.
Puxxling Forms Under Which Well
Known Places Masquerade.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In re-
gard to the confusion due to the variety
in the spelling of geographical names
/ can sympathize with your correspon-
dent "Bewildered." While in Berlin dur
ing the first days of the recent war I
searched vainly on the German maps
for Liege when It was reported at our
embassy as having been captured by
the German invaders until I was In
formed that the city is called by the
Germans Luttich. When I reached home
in October was puzzled to read in our
newspapers reports of action on the east
front dated at Petrograd until learned
of the change In the name of the Rus
sian capital.
While obJecting to any departure from
their own spelling of German geograph-
ical names on the part of foreigners
Germans do not hesitate to Germanize
geographical names. such as venedig for
Venice. Achen for Aix-la- -Chapelle and
Gent for Geneva. And why do we write
Brussels for BruxelIes. Florence for
Firenze, Leghorn for Livorno?

To THE New YORK HERALD: The
statements in the late Epes Randolphs

Eight Miles Up.

And now Lieutenant JOHN A. MA
cREADY, with a record of 40.S00 feet,
puts a hump on all previous aerial
flights, topping the records of KIBscH,
SCHROEDER and RoHLFs by mile or
more. MAcREADY's figures may re.
quire revision, for the altimeter,
recording aneroid barometer, is
likely to be sluggish in operation at
great attitudes. 1t may be assumed,
however, that MAoREADY's record is
reasonably correct. At the summit
of his fight, therefore, he was about
two miles higher than the top OF
Mount Everest, the peak of the
world.
The observed temperatures at the
attitudes reached by airmen accord
closely with those obtained by cal
cuiation. Up to certain height
between six and seven miles-the
temperature falls until 1t reaches a
minimum Of 81 degrees below zero.
Still higher, it remains stationary
. or else rises. The record brought
down by a free balloon showed that
between eleven and twenty miles
the temperature rose approximately
10 degrees.
Airmen and aerologists have made
discoveries about the atmosphere as
startling as they are interesting. 1t
has been found that the air exists in
two fairly distinct shells, mixing
very slightly IL at all. The lower
layer extends to a height of about
seven miles, varying with the season
and with latitude. Practically all the
winds and the vertical movements
of the air are within this compare

succession as she could pull them In.
She kept them in plain sight OF her. as
she said there was a moccasin which
would carry them off when she was not

This young woman with five children
