Change of Habits in Birds. M. Pouchet
says that the common swallow of Europe has
modified the shape of its nest within fifty
years. It is certuin that many birds have
changed their nest-buiiaing naoits witnin an
historical period. Some have learned to use
thread in preference to grass, ine common
swallow and the chimney-swallow must have
built differently before they had the use of
eaves and chimneys. Tbe old swallow-nests
were globular, with a very small rounded
opening. The new nests are long and oval,
and the opening is a long slit, four or five
times as lorjg as high, close to the top of the
nest,t where it meets the wall above it. This
is an improvement on the old nest, as the
young are not so crowded, and can reach out
their beads tor iresn air, wtue their pre
sence does not impede the ingress of the
parents.

SCAPE.
We take from the London Athenaum the
following abstract of Professor Knskin'8 third
lectnre on Landscape, delivered recently in the
theatre of the museum at Oxford. The sub
ject was "The llelation of Form to Color in
the Greek and Gothio Schools of Painting":
We must always remember that between
the various schools of painting the difference
is only one of degree and of tendency: it is
not that the one neglects what the other pur
sues with the utmost eagerness, but that it
pursues it less ardently; it is not thnt the one
is entirely wanting in tbe skill peculiar
to the other, but that it possesses it
in a less degree. At the same time,
there is a sufficiently marked contrast
between the schools of crystal and of clay,
as we may call the Greek and Gothio schools
respectively. The former is chiaroscuriat,
the latter colorist. The aim of the former is
tranquil activity; its ideal is clrutkeria; it
seeks to make that real and material which
was before indefinite, to see all thing? truly.
The aim of the latter is passionate rest; its
ideal is stasia; it teaches ns to see all things
dimly. Yet it is difficult to explain the con
trast between the two schools without appa
rent contradiction, since each oontains
ideas which seem to be

real snd sharply marked,
school is essentially realistic
BDd yet it is at the same time mysterious
and soft in its execution. The excellencies
of these two schools are united in four great
painters Titian, Holbein, Turner, and Tin
toret, who are therefore sometimes spoken
of as belonging to the one school, sometimes
to the other. The real fact is that Holbein
and Turner were Greek chiarosonrists nearly
perfect in their adoption of color. Titian
and Tintoret were Gothio colorists who were
absolutely perfect in their adoption of chia
roscuro. All elementary exercises in color
must begin with the clearest possible
separation between the various colors. As
in musio perfection consists in mark
ing off distinctly each delicate difference
of sound, so in painting every minute shade
of color must be carefully distinguished in
order to attain the highest results. Some
great colorists even leave dark lines between
their colors, like the broad black lines in
painted windows: we see this especially in
Paul Veronese and Titian. In every great
master of color it is a necessary characteristic
that be is able to paint each separate por
tion of his picture apart from all the rest,
and that every juncture Bhould be made with
tbe greatest care and with the greatest dis
tinctness of will. This precision of method
and of touch is very noticeable in Carpaccio's
pictures. They will bear the closest exami
nation, and without being thus examined half
their beauty will belost. It is an absurd mis
take to hang any pictures of the Venetian
school high out of roach or in an obssure
light, as thereby their marvellous coloring is
deprived of all its effect. One law may be
universally observed in all painters of this
school, that they make white precious
and black conspicuous. They paint with
admirable skill a white cloud.
which comes out clear and clean, even out of
a white sky. They introduce a single touch
of black merely to give relief to the general
coloring of their pictures, amid the extreme
modesty of color, which is one of their re
markable characteristics. They afford an ex
cellent illustration of the rule which all great
painters adhere to, viz., that the value of
color oepends on its subtlety, never on its
violence; on its refinement, not on its loud
ness; on its being soft and genial, not harsh
and btriking.
The coloring of the Greek aohool is essen
tially sad, that of the Gothio essentially gay:
tbe Gothio is always cheerful; itr.assumes that
all nature is lovely, and never paints change
and decay, but only what is bright and
healthful and a fit object for our love. This
is a defect in Gothio art, since it is impossible
for art to show a complete sympathy with hu
manity without the memory or the present
consciousness of pain. Of exquisite Gothio
landscape, there are, perhaps for this reason,
very lew existing instances, not a dozen in
all. There are some which are very beauti
ful, but not of first-rate excellence, in the
painted Missals: one of the finest is to be
found in the Psalter of Henry the Sixth,',
where the landscape and the flowers are
exceedingly lovely. It was the He
formation which destroyed the power
of the Gotbio school; the modern pre-lla-phaelites,made
an attempt to revive it, but
they pursued dramatic sensation instead of
real beauty, and so their highest efforts have
resulted in painting wild apple-blossom with
striking effect. None of them have ever suc
ceeded nobly in painting even a head of wild
roses or a mountain glade full of wild
sorrel. The failure of modern painters
in simple landscape arises from the
idea that it is an easy subject; when
they find out their mistake they are dis
couraged and seek to gratify the publio taste
rather than to paint what is in itself beauti
ful. Now the publio mind is impatient of
trammels, and is ignorant of every law of art;
hence it is easily satisfied, and is deceived by
the self-complacency of the painter who pre
tends to an ability which he does not possess,
arjd so blinds the publio to bis want of pa
tience and of the finer qualities necessary to
a real artist. What a contrast there is be
tween the carelessness and unskilfulness
of the ordinary modern painter and the
accurate detailed skill of Bellini or Turner!
In one of the churches at Venice there is a
Madonna by Bellini, in which we are
struck with the wonderful reality of a soroll
which St. Jerome, who is introduced in the
picture, holds in his hand. If we examine
it closely, we see that this reality an es
from the fact that the two whole chapters a-
written out bodily. So in a picture of
parchments drawn by Turner, in which the
deeds have all tbe seals and ooats-of-arms
most carefully and accurately painted; the
actual signature, by Fairfax, the Cromwellian
general, is forged letter by letter, although
it is so email that a magnifying glass is re
quired to decipher it.
In studying any school of art nothing is
more important tnan to gather up the right
clue; we must keep before us the conviotion
that all thmgs are bound together and con
ceded one with another.
Thns the Greek school pursues truth ai its
vital point; and if it misses this, it misses
everything. Even Michael Angelo, when he
tries to draw a dragon without carefully
studying it in detail, does not draw it success
fully, but represents it as very like a sausage:
while Carpaccio, on the other hand, is always
true to life; and if be draws a suake, it is,
above all things, black and crawling, clinging
to the dust, hideous and ouupina ant em
Lltm of the devil, whom it represents.
The object of the chiarosourist school is to
get sunshine and warrntn without color;
everything is drawn in mystery, aud yet it
represents a marvellous contrast of light and
darkness, cloud and nre. in l.ahael we
Lave combined the misty distance of the
rhiaroBcurists with the finished detail of the
Gothic; In Turner, again, we have perfect
form attained, and all developed in the olond
and fire of the Greeks. His picture of Dudley
is an instance in point. The scene is sketched
with a most perfect acouracy: we have the
roaring furnaces in the foreground, and be
hind we see in the distance the church and
castle fading away into smoke and fire, to
show the power of the manufacturers and ma
chinery of England to do away with all reve
rence for authority, whether of Church or
State. In all Turner s pictures there is nothing
more wonderful than bis intense sympathy.
In one of his sketches he introduces a scene
of agricultural life; everything in the picture
is neglected and unbomely and ooarne; the
sternness and ruggedness of the scene tell of
desolation and of misery; the thorns and
thistles tell of nature's curse. The object
which he had before him in drawing it was to
illustrate tbe degraded and miserable condi
tion of the agricultural poor of England. One
.f the early works represents a scene which
explains to ns how the Grek mythology had
its origin. It is a picture of a scene in the
Valley of CI uses, on the road from Geneva
to Charaounix. It is full of that absolute
simplicity end picturesque archaism which
was the cradle and the source of those immor
tal mjtbs by which the Greeks represented to
themselves their appreciation of nature's loveliness.
