dark-toned hues, to feel the stir of
great forces within ones self. It is
as If a curtain was lifted from the
past and a glimpse given Of a pri-
meval world wild and rugged yet
warmed by occasional cleaning SUM-
light and softened here and there by
pale flowers.
The Fourth is not a symphony
wherein the composer sets mood
against mood; it is stark and grim
throughout yet soul stirring with its
terrible yet beautiful forcefulness. It's
two most thrilling moments are the
gloomy mysterious opening passages
and the marvellous outpouring of
richly contrived harmony in the third.
A shaft of brightness and gayety
creeps into the final movement yet
there is no attempt at gentleness and
one is overwhelmed with the almost
brutal and uncompromising charac-
ter Of this gayety. The movement
ends with furious opulence of sound.
For those interested in Sibelius'
unique technique Of composition there
is wealth Of knowledge to be dis
covered In this symphony alone.
On the reverse side OF the final disc
Of the symphony another facet of the

how he turned his troubles and re-

Sibelius' powers Although it would
seem impossible for man whose SYM

circus three spring to mind imme-
diately. George Bellows, George Luks
and Walter Kuhn. Bellows, whose
paintings and autographs Of the prize
ring are unexcelled, painted q number
Of circus pictures, one of which Is 50
similar in subject and composition to
Seurat's lie Cirque circus rider
on galloping horse. fianked by aero
bats and clowns, ringed by the au-
dience-that it illustrates strikingly
the difference between the continental
and American versions Of the circus.
Another Bellows painting shows the
crowd outside the main tent at the
evening performance. The sense Of
anticipation and excitement that nils
the most sophisticated at the circus
pervades the picture.
GEORGE LUKs. painter of tramps,
prize fighters and wrestlers,
actors, dancers, beggars. policemen,
newsboys, painted q number Of clown
portraits. "Entre-Aote" depicts q
clown in full grease-paint glory hold
ing young child. It is obvious that
the boy Is circus fan on his first
visit backstage, for he has the
pleased but embarrassed manner typi-
cal OF the uninitiated Of any age when
presented to a favorite performer.
Walt Kuhn's clowns have the Pag-
liacci look. They seem to be hiding
breaking hearts-or rather not hiding
them, for most have melancholy ex-
preston. A few lock frankly cross.
One does not feel, as with Bellows
and Luks. that the performers are en-
joying their work. As with Toulouse
Lautrec-but in an entirely different
manner-we see behind the tinsel and
paint to the weariness and haunting
fear Of all who depend on public IA
vor for . livelihood.
Every one hopes that the Greatest
Show on Earth" will come to the mar
ket grounds next year In mid-May.
But children and artists are nopiEg
the hardest. And If the circus should
never come to town again its glory
still remains On the canvases Of those
who, like their more humble brethren
Of the brush, loved its paseantry.

strange plants get the nourishment
they must have? They seem to &C
complish so much on so little. After
centuries Of battling with their prob
lem Of lack of rain, they have dis
pensed with leaves and grown thorns
instead
The thorns prevent grazing ami
mails from stealing the water supply
stored up in the body of the plant,
and they do not permit evaporatio
OF the water. When there is a sea-
son OF rainfall, the plant soaks up
every bit of moisture it possibly can.
Indians and travellers, knowing of
the cool, fresh water, have learned
how to slake their thirst by tapping
the trunk of the cactus and evading
the terrible bayonets.
Cactus seed have long life
tenure. They may be planted in
small pots of sand, if you can wait
for their very slow growth. Out
on the deserts at the borders of
Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma YOU
may find some hedgehogs of youth
ful size, which can be uprooted and
placed in your cactus garden. AS
these plants live to be very old, they
do not grow very fast. For this
reason, you do not have to think
much about frequent transplanting,
which, in view Of the heavily pro-
tected plant, is blessing.
