Hint to a Kinq-to-Be.

One of the oldest New Years gifts on record was the dark lantern sent by Sir John Harrington to James T. then James VI of Scotland. The top of the lantern was a crown of pure gold. serving also to- cover perfume pan; within ii was a shield of silver, embossed to reflect the light, on one side of which were the sun, moon, and planets and on the other a picture of the Crucifxion. Around the lantern was inscribed the broad hint: Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom" Sir John timed his gift well, for it was sent on New Years day 1903. only three months before the death of Elizabeth.
 Sir Ernest's Story.
 Sir Ernest Shackleton was always fond of a good story. Here is one that he used to tell about himself. A gushing lady had been introduced to him and began at once 10 talk about his voyages. 'I always think" she said, "that one must have such wOn- derful dreams while leading that kind of life" Beautiful dreams, indeed, said Sir Ernest. "Oh, do tell me, now, what you used to dream about in the AItarctic2' ''Treacle pudding" answered the expIorer.-LOndon Tit Bits.

Noguchi Publishes De-
lightful Volume on Life
And Work of KOrin.
"Korin,' by Yone Noguchi, Orien
talia NeW Work.

"Korin,- by Yone Noguchi. orien-
talia. New York.
In recent years the growing in
terest in Oriental art has stimulated
a desire to know more of the in
dividualities that have created some
of the fascinating masterpieces Of
the East. Yone Noguchi has fol-
lowed his monograph on Hiroshige
with an enlightening volume on
Korin, one of the recognized
geniuses of Japan. Like the artists
of the Middle Ages, Korin esteemed
few articles too utilitarian for him
to lavish his genius upon. With
equal felicity he decorated screens.
fans. ink cases, and kimonos IS
well as turned out the pictures on
which his fame rests.
Noguchi is very evidently a Korin
enthusiast. He writes of his artist
fellow countryman in flowing and
graceful terms that an Occidental
critic would hesitate to use because
of their constant and undiluted
praise. But If his note Is that of
unrestrained adulation, he also
writes illuminatingly and with
subtlety of the spirit and technique
of the wonderful decorative work of
korin. He stresses the point that
the pictorial magic of Korin Is
evoked from the manner In which
he handles the empty space in his
pictures. He says, This full and
empty space of Korin's pictures Is
not merely a space or emptiness,
but substance itself. 1t has more
reality. in fact, than the part of
reality painted. We have a thou
sand Japanese artists, old and new,
who are taught the mystery of pic.
torial space, but Korin Is certainly
the best of all with it's manage
ment." But he does not confine
himself to the purely technical side
of the Korin creations. He writes
with an intensity of spiritual ap-
probation only possible to one writ.
ing of an art indigenous to his own
country and touching his own life.
Here he says of Korin. He was a
serenader of life who gradually en-
tered into paganism to save himself
from provincialism."
A number of exquisite illustra-
tions in black and color enrich the
volume and supply adequate ex-
ample of Korin's art which is, subt-
ly enthralling, combining as it does,
lucid outline with the remot; en-
chanted vision of the artist. In
printing and general get up the
book is quite unalloyed pleasure.
