John Tayloe. who built and for many
years lived in the Octagon.
The artist himself was born in
1agerstown. Md, but his early life
was passed in Washington. AS little

picturesque Maryland home, where
Fra ncis Scott Key was born, a picture

course. was much i'm the old Francis
Scott Key house in Georgetown, which
he has likewise painted. He recalled
visiting his great uncle in the Octa-
gon when he was SO little he could
hardly scramble up the steps, and
vivid impression was made upon his
mind when visiting Arlington one day
in company with one Of his grandpar-
ents he was told that Lafayette. stand
ing on precisely the same spot where
on his young feet then stood. and
looking toward the then young Capital
City. had exclaimed that no capital
in the world had a more beautiful nat
ural setting. When John Ross Key
was more than 65 years of age he
decided to paint this panoramic view
of Washington from Arlington. For
Is years he worked on this picture,
which is given place of honor in
the present exhibition
As a little boy John Ross Key
PLAYED in the garden at Mount YER
non. paid friendly visits to the Lees at
Arlington. at the Van Ness mansion,
at the old Mckane house. Being sen
sltive to beauty and having distinctly
artistic tendencies, vivid impressions
were made on his young mind which
in later years helped him to translate
through the medium of pigment on
canvas pictures which must be reck-
oned today as historical documents
as well as works of art. The pictures
which Mr.. Key painted are essentially
portraits of place" He was a realist;
he painted what he saw with patient
care but also artistic instinct. There
is a certain resemblance between his
work and that of the English school
to which, for instance, the late Walter
Paris belonged But 1t is interesting
and worthy of note that in his char
coal drawings Mr.. Key employed de-
cidedly broad method.
Undoubtedly his historical subjects,
in which the old houses which were
social centers in the early days of
Washington are chief features, pos
sess paramount interest. but his land
scapes and his flower gardens are by
no means without merit and all go to
establish the fact that in the environs
of Washington he found picturesque.

TT has become so customary to con-
slider prints--etchings engravings
and lithographs-as, comparatively
speaking, the poor mans art obtain
able at price which those of moder-
ate means can well afford, that it is
something Of a shock to learn that the
works in the loan collection of French
color prints now on exhibition in the
Smithsonian Institution under the
auspices of the division of graphic
arts of the National Museum are
priced at from $500 to $4,000 apiece,
and that all but three of those shown
cannot be had for less than $1,000.
What does it mean? Charming
they are, to be sure, but why such
values? The explanation lies in rarity
and in demand. These French color
prints, which were never numerous,
are today held in highest esteem by
collectors and because of sharp COM
potion bring enormous values. That
they are charming. exquisite, none
will gainsay, and if one cannot pos
sess a choice example one may learn
their character and gain their &C.
quaintance through this special and
well arranged exhibition.
The highest priced print in this
collection Is "L'Oiseau Ranime" by
Debucourt, who lived during the
latter half of the eighteenth and the
early part of the nineteenth century,
an engraVer who was essentially an
artist and who designed and executed
his own plates. In this particular
many of these French color prints
differ from the English color prints,
the latter engravers being most apt
to reproduce, through their own me-
dunn, the works of the distinguished
painters of their day. This, In fact,
has been all along the habit of pic.
torial engravers; and such is the sig
nificance of the little word after"
found in the legend attached to many
of these prints.

MNV|NG CLAIMS IN
 GRAND CANYON VOID
DEPARTMENT UPHOLDS DECI. SION GIVEN BY THE GENERAL
 LAND OFFICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. (P)-Claims of Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona, the United States Platinum company and others to certain placer mining loca- tions situated in the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, alleged to contain platinum, gold and other valu- able mineral deposits, have been de- clared null and void in decision just made public by the Department of the Interior.
 The claims, 2S in number, overlie some of the principal scenic features of the park, including the suspension bridge across the gorge, parts of the Bright Angel trail and the Phantom Range established for the occommo- dation of the public.
 The decision affirms ruling of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, from which an appeal has been taken. The department declared un- contradicted testimony in the case "convincingly shows that these claims have been laid over lands and upon geological formation entirely barren of valuable mineral deposits, exhib- iting no conditions favorable to min eral deposition"
 Denying the petition to reopen the the case, the department ruled that 'the continued assertion of baseless possessory right to these lands by the appellants and their cO-defendants constitute a continuous trespass and public nuisance; the public interest, therefore, demands that they be de- ciared null and void''
