Discoveries Put Roman
Art on Higher Plane

But archaeological discoveries in It
ally and the Roman dominion within
the last two or three decades, and the
scientific comparison of Roman art
with Greek and other art, and the con-
sequent evaluation of its merits, have
put Rome on a rather high plane of
artistic production.
No longer is it to be believed that
there was no Roman art before the
time of the empire; from the fourth
to the second centuries before Christ
there was a large and merltorious
amount of work done, both in painting
and in sculpture. A fairly large piece
Of wall painting was found in tomb
on the Esquiline hill in Rome. 1t
dates from the end of the fourth CEN
fury B. c., and represents group Of
Roman generals holding a conference.
The draughtsmanship is spirited
and the massing of the figures in the
background is technically superb. 1t
happens also to be the earliest-to
date-example in Rome of a SUPER
posed frieze decoration. The idea may
well have been derived from Ioniap
models, but the departures in tech
nique are so important and so Roman
that the style was believed to be ma
tive and it became the pattern which
was developed into the Roman tri-
umphal arch relief work.-Washington

One Feathered Species
That Knows No Infancy

The mound builders, a family OF
birds inhabiting Australia and certain
South sea islands are unique in that
the young are Matched fully feathered
and able to fly and live an independent
life from the moment they emerge
from the eggs. These birds are called
megapodes because Of their large feet.
Most species lay their eggs in large
mounds constructed Of loose soil,
leaves, grass, twigs, etc. Not infre-
quently the mounds are 10 or u feet
in height and contain several wagon
loads of material. After the eggs are
deposited they are left to hatch out
by the heat Of the decaying vegetable
matter The brush turkeys are the
most common Of the mound builders.
One species of megapodes, found in
the Philippines and on other islands,
lays its eggs in the sand IN the sea-
shore and leaves them to be Matched
by the heat Of the sun.-Pathfnder
