Curious Rays.

TT was Prof. Blondlot of the French
Academy of Sciences who discov-
cred that invisible rays capable of
penetrating solid substances are
given off from the incandescent man
ties of the Welsbach light. Later he
announced the discovery of similar
radiations from an ordinary Argand
burner and from a sheet of incandes-
cent silver. The rays from polished
silver are polarized. but when the
silver is covered with lampblack the
polarization disappears.

For a number of years Mr.. Powell
had a studio in the tower of Hender-
son castle, and Mrs. John Henderson
owns some of his best works. Later
Mr.. Powell had studios successfully
in the old Corcoran building and in
one Of the old buildings on New York
avenue. He has been a proliic pro-
Queer and his pictures are included IN
numerous private collections in all
uarts of the world. They are in al
most every instance extremely deco
rative, both because Of their coloriul
quality and their pleasing compost
ton. In the Public Library are to
be seen. two enormous canvases by
Mr., Powell-one, a marine, a scene
in midocean, powerfully painted and
extremely realistic. the other a can

impressive. He is represented in the
National Gallery Of Art by one OF MS

In the exhibition at the Arts Club
are included thirty or more water
colors made on a memorable trip to
Venice some years ago. pictures paint
ed at the rate of almost one day
directly from nature and full OF spon-
taneity and charm. Mr.. Powell has
never been willing to sell these paint
ines. regarding them in the light OF
data and retaining them as studies
for future use.
Winter before last Mr.. Powell spent
to arouse interest in art among the
residents in the winter colony, giving
an exhibition as well as talks on art
and conducting classes. thus handing
on to others his own enthusiasm and
opening the eyes of many to the
beauty which was manifest to him.
A collection of etchings by George
Ebert Burr of Colorado is now on ex-
hibition at Venable's Gallery, 1907 h
street. Mr.. Burr began his career as
an illustrator in the east and was for
several years on the staff Of Harpers,
scribner's and other periodicals.. He
made the illustrations for the cata-
losue of the Heber Bishop collection
of Chinese porcelains, bronZes and
fades. one of the handsomest publica-
tons of it's kind ever issued.
When this task was completed he
went abroad and after a year of
wandering returned to this country
and settled in Colorado. The great
west has made to him vigorous ap-
peal and he has pictured it through
the medium of etching with rare skill
and sympathy. Better than almost
any other etcher he has interpreted
the trees of the great west, comparing
their ruegedness with the majestic
mountain scenery.
Quite lately he has produced a series
OF etchings of the desert. which about
a wear ago was exhibited in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art. 1t is often said
that we have no truly American art.
but artists whose works are as typi-
cally American as Mr.. Burrs prove to
the contrary.

MONTPELIER SEMINARY.

Because of the Armistice holiday
the students at the seminary were Civ
en- an extended week end. beginning
Saturday morning On Friday evening
an assembly was held in the chapel,
at which Rev. Frank L. Goodspeed of
Barre was the guest of honor and prin-
cipal speaker. Mr.. Goodspeed, who is a
graduate of Montpelier seminary,
brought to the students vitality in
teresting speech on education what it
means and what it should mean to ev-
cry individual in America. He made
the quest for an education real to
them and the undivided attention
which the students gave him was d
real proof Of the fact that he made
them think. The seminary choir sang
'4To Thee O Country and Mr.. Good
speed held a short reception after the
assembly was over.
On Armistice morning, Rev. Charles
N. st. John, pastor Of the Congre-
gational church in the city, was a
guest at breakfast at the seminary.

country in the right way made his re-

that each day of their lives they are
affecting either for good or i'll, the
country to which they belong and he
urged them to see TO il that the eff

urged the girls to see to it that they
vote as soon as the opportunity comes
to them.
The school went on cross-country
hike Saturday, returning in time for
dinner and Saturday night there was
a chapel assembly, the committee in
charge of which was Miss Alice Nor

ably not giving full time to instruc.
ton, but devoting whatever time is
NECESSARY to preparing new employees
for the particular tasks they are to
perform.
MANY training leaders, particularly
those working outside Of production,
have been decidedly opposed to util-
ling the foreman as teacher. There
is vast amount of difference between
knowing how and 't<tching how.
sUnskilled workmen who have be-
come skilled in some operation through
vestibule or shop training undoubtedly
have greater interest in their work.
They have, in large measure at least,
made up for their earlier loss in not
having a trade. BY bringing them into
the semi-skilled class, it tends to hold
them closer to the job. They can be
more readily taught other operations
and in time become numbered among
the most valuable workmen.

II Is to be regretted that the senator

in this development there Is no mys-
terry for residents Of this city. The
very acts which made him sueh a strong
political personality in the state, were
his weaknesses at home among the
class who were determined to get him.
The Messenger refers, of course, -
his vote against the Adamson law and
to his general attitude toward class
legislation. There has been a railroad
strike in progress in st. Adams for sew
eral weeks. The national organ of the
strikers has told its readers that they
ought to defeat Greene. He has been
held up as the target for the cnmity Of
railroad labor.

Greene was given remarkable vote OF

is all the more significant when orc
considers the prevailing unrest in con

Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness.

Keats. the poet, speaks of autumn
as the season OF mists and mellow
fruitfulness. The summer sun has lost
its glare. Each morning is wrapped in
silver sheen, an deach evening the sun
sinks to rest in an ocean Of nearly dew.
October is the silent bond between
summers glow and winters cold. And
what a rainbow bridge she buildsl
Unlike winter, which bursts and
busters suddenly, autumn approaches

autumn beauty for the first time one
might well believe that the earth's
heart had determined before the chill

and JOY. Even the oak, so stately and
phlegmatic. cannot refuse to put on its
seasons work.
Certain it is that the departure of
leaves and flowers is no funeral affair
Of shrouds and mourning. Summers
life descends from its mount with airy
grace and calm poise. The maple sheds
its sunset on the world. The golden
rod conspires with the light 10 spread

MORAL STANDARD
OF WORKNEN RISEN
Declares Committee on Shop Training
Of the National Personnel
Association.

Pittsburgh, Nov l3.The moral
standards Of the American workmen
have risen since the war, it is declared
by the committee on shop training Of
the National Personnel association, of
which r. L. Sackett, dean of engineer
ing, Pennsylvania State college, and q
leader in the educational work OF the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers, is chairman, in report read
at the second days session Of the am
nual convention Of the association here
to-day.
The standards Of workmanship are
also higher, according to the report,
which said: "The resumption of pro-
duction is proving again that we have
Il shortage of skilled workmen. In
dustries are picking the men whom
they employ with more discrimination
/ than was possible during the war.
x"At no previous time has there been
the same appreciation by wage-earn-
ers Of the value of practical educa-
ton which pertains more or less di-
rectly to their job. There are con-
tinuation schools for those under the
statutory age limit; there are trade
schools, Y. M. c. A. schools and corr

~ Nj an endless number OF telephone
booths The surprising number of tele-
phones both in American cities and
country districts, compared with those
Of any other country, is at least sig
nificant. Although the telephone is to-
day 80 years old, Europe has only one
telephone to every 100 Of its popul-
alton Twenty years ago there was
one telephone in the United States to
every 90 persons, and today there is
one such station for every eight people.
The average family in the United
States contains five and n half persons.
In no other country has the farm
telephone been developed to any such
degree. Practically the only rural tele-
phones in the world are in America,
where they are surprisingly common.
There are today upward Of 30O0,OOo
telephones in use among American
farmers. The value of such communi-
cation both to the industrial and social
life Of the farmer is of course obvious.
Today some Go per cent.of all the
telephones in operation the world over
are within the boundaries Of the United
States. The total Of all the telephones
Of Europe makes up only one-fourth Of
the number in existance. The remain
ing 10 per cent. are scattered through
out the rest Of the world, In other
words. the United States has two
thirds OF all the worlds telephones,
and keeps them in pretty continuous
use. We have therefore about II times
