What Happened When Madse Met

Harry Underwood in the Library.

my eyes were averted from Harry Tn

studying the printed page before me.
I knew the moment he first caught
sight OF me as well as If I had been
gazing directly at him.
1t was as If a tiny electric bell had
sounded somewhere within my con-
seriousness, warning me that at last the
moment I had so dreaded was at hand
BY a tremendous effort kept nv
face devoid Of expression, my eys fixed
upon the pamphlet before me, although
L heard the firm tread OF masculine
feet coming toward me, steps which I
identified as those Of the man whom
so feared. Harry Underwood's step
was a distinctive one, and one not
easily forgotten by anyone who had
heard it more than once or twice.
Then his hateful, well remembered
voice spoke softly from across the ia

prided myself when later looked back
upon the interview.

involuntarily took a step backward, for
he was leaning eagerly across the desk,
his brilliant black eyes a-sleam with
the old expression used to dislike so,
his lips twisted into his old sardonic
smile.

PAINTING UNDER WATER

One Of the most curious manifesto
tions of artistic talent has been recently
accomplished abroad by a landscape
painter. Mr.. zarh Pritchard. 1t is i'm
possible for us to term the product
Landscapes" or even "seascapes"
which is a well known term for sea
shore pictures Perhaps we can find
an expression which outlines Mr.
Pritchard's technique, for he paints lit
orally at the bottom of the sea, is the
sea is not too deep. He is only limited
| by the depth which a diver can de-
scend. Perhaps the %yord ''undersea-
landscapist" would fill the bill. The
ordinary methods and materials must
be thrown in the discard when this
extraordinary artistic procedure is
considered.
The new idea is one which will not
probably be popular with our art stu
dents as few indeed would have the
endurance or the means to try such
a unique avenue of expression. Mr.
Pritchard works at depths ranging
from Is to so feet He is clad in the
most approved diving costume with the
usual lead loaded shoes to keep him on
the bottom and the usual signal ropes
and air hose. He descends slowly
through the water as we have all seen
in the movies, and after carefully ex-
ploring the territory near where he
lands he selects a comfortable rock, not
looking for a dry one, as he probably
would do on land. He then pulls the
rope, and down come the easel and the
box of colors. OF course, the colors are
specially prepared and ground extra
thick in a special way and the canvas
is also waterproofed or otherwise
treated with linseed oil 50 that the
water will have no effect on it. Then
he blocks in his outlines and proceeds
to lay his tints and finish the whole
roughly.
1t must not be supposed that an or
binary seashore resort would lend it
self to this means of painting In fact,
there are only certain places where
it would be of any avail Bermuda,
Tahiti, the Saragossa Sea and many
parts of the Mediterranean, and almost
any coral strand" would furnish the
raw material. These pictures are re-
garded as so important that an exhibit
ton was recently held at the Galleries |
George Petit in Paris. Several Of them /
were purchased by the Prince of Mon !
acc, who is an oceanographic expert OF
the first magnitude.
Mr.. Pritchsrd has always been fond
of diving, and in his youth his fayorite
pastime was diving. In the bay Of |
Portobello in Scotland he would re-
main under water waited down by a /
bag of sand. II was then that his eyes |
were opened to the fairy wonders Of 1
the ocean floor. But 1t was in TAHITI /
that he first donned a Divers costume /
and made his first descent to a dis I
lance of IS feet. He was obliged TO rise /
to the surface after about a half hour !
owing to cold or fatigue from the pres |
sure of the water. He often left his /
painters materials at the bottom, and /
we dare say many fish has had in
digestion from such colOrs as emerald I
green. Sometimes he even left them /
overnight as there are no. currents /
among the coral reefs.-Scientific I
