Apes Show INGENUITY.

Indiscriminate feeding is bad for
lpes, and in South Africa specimens are
kept behind double bars, as much out
Of harms way as possible. But people
insist on trying to feed them, and a
large number of nuts fall In front of
the cages, apparently out of reach of
the animals. One day chimpanZee
passed his blanket through the bars,
threw it on the nuts, and dragged them
n. The blanket was taken away from
him, and stick given, with which also
he got the nuts by sweeping them to-
ward the cage.
One orang-outang went step fur
Their than this. There were palms in
the ape-house, and the orang-outang
used strip of blanket to get these
leaves. When the palms were put far
Their away, the ape tore the strip of
blanket down the middle almost, but
not quite in two--so that it was near
ly twice as long. With this he could
reach the palm leaves again.

PUT STUART IN FIRST PLACE
As Portrait Painter, Critics Accord
Him Highest Rank in the List of
American Artists.

First among American portrait paint
ers, Gilbert Stuart holds secure
place in the history of our native art
his fame is assured, Notwithstanding
the wave of ultra-modernism sweep
ing the land. The radicals may come
and go and have their vogue, but Gil
bert Stuart gave grace and dignity to
american art and. like the Sphinx, re-
mains impressive. He fills y certain
niche in the realm Of art and his ror
traits of early Americans are not only
admirable for their character and
beauty, but historic. Nearly all Of the
large art museums CT America, state
capitols and other public institutions
possess portraits by Stuart. Through
3ut New England, here and there In
he quaint old homesteads among the
aiils are portraits Of our folefathers
They are cherished heirlooms of
colonial days, when America was striv-
'ng for liberty under the guidance Of
,ieorse Washington.
Gilbert Stuart was the historic
painter of this period, and to have
oortrait painted by lin. was consid
red high distinction. Almost everyone
Knows that Stuart was by birth New
i.nglander, but it may not he generally

Artistic Masterpieces.

The Last Judgment is superb
fresco painting by Michelangelo (1475-
1854, on the wall opposite the entrance
to the Sistine chapel in the Vatican at
Rome. 1t is 60 feet high and so feet
wide, and was completed in 1541. after
labor of eight years. The painting
contains nearly 300 figures, and pre-
sents "a confused mass of naked
bodies In the most violent attitudes
and most admired disorder, and excels
chiefly in energy of expression" The
Last Judgment has been much in
j,lred by dampness, but more especially
by the smoke from the incense and al
tyr candles.
