Bellefonte, Pa., April 14, 1911. A Picture That Jarred the Nerves o! » French Art Patron. M. Durand, a French picture buyer of a century ago, bad little wisdom as a critic, and Lis ambition, com- pounded equally of childlike vanity and genuine benevolence, was to figure as nn patron of youthful genius. One of the earliest commissions he bestowed was upon a young artist who selected for his subject a scene of classic mythology. in which the as sembled gods were depicted upon Mount Olympus. When it was finish- ed M. Durand was invited to the studio to inspect it. lis face clouded as he gazed “Youug wan,” be declared, “you have not treated me fairly.

According to bleacher law, there are three particularly justifiable motives for doing away with umpires. An umpire may be killed—first, if he sees fit to adhere to the rules and make a decision against the home team at a close point in the game; second, an umpire may be killed if he sends a member of the home team to the bench when the player in question has done + absolutely nothing but call the umpire pames and attempt to bite his ear off (an umpire has oo business to be touchy): third (und this is a perfect defense against the charge of murder), an umpire may be killed if be calls any batter on the howe team out on strikes when the player has not even struck at the balls pitched. ‘That the Lalis go straight over the plate has nothing to do with the case. There Is ample proof at hand to show that killing the umpire is a dis- tinetively American sport. Other coun- tries have tried baseball, but they have not tried killing the umpire. That is probably the reason why they have not waxed cuthusiastic over baseball, _for baseball without umpire killing is like football without girls in the grand stand. It simply can’t be done That foreign countries know nothing about our king of outdoor sports was indi- cated forcibly when in the fall of 1909 waist! Mme, and Mille. Durand would make a mock of her, your Juno! Pouf! | She is a peasant, a pillow, a pig!” : Nevertheless he was convinced by | infinitely tactful explanations that the : wasp waist wus unknown in classic antiquity, even to goddesses. [tt was with proud complacence that he tinally | accepted the pdeture and the knowl | edge that the sovereign lady of Mount | Olympus had never attained the herole | compression achieved by Mme. and Mile. Darand A GEOLOGIC PHENOMENON. Raised Beaches and Caves of the Island of Arran. The island of Arran is one of those places on the west of Scotland where the geologic phenomenon known as a “praised beach” is very apparent. All along the coast there are evidences that the land tins Leen considerably elevated at sowie period of the world's history. Onc of these proofs is the presence of caves of various sizes formed by the action of the waves in tho past, but which are now well above the present high water mark. The farmers usc some of the larger caves as shelters for sheep in stormy | weather, In a remote coruer of the island one | of these caves has Leen converted into a humaa habitation, where a family ot several persons dwell in absolute se | clusion. Thelr occupation is the gath- ering of whelks, an employment which is sald to afford but a precaricns live lihood. As the gathering of the shell. fish can only be done at low water and | as the fishers have no boat or other occupation, they have ample leisure to | enjoy the pure air and bask in the sun shine, i Except for the drip from the face of | the bigh rocks above, which is skill- | fully diverted, the cave Is absolutely | dry. The interior is shaped like a tri | angle, the floor forming the base. Save | at the sides there Is ample room to! stand upright and move about inside. | Besides the beds nnd cooking utensils, the cave contalns many articles of va- rious kinds, giving the interior quite a homelike appearance. ‘Che apology for a fireplace 3 some way back from the entrance, through which the smoke finds its way outside. — Wide World Magazine. a ————————— Obituary Gems. ‘When John Sherman of New Haven, preacher, wathematician, almanac maker and father of twenty-six chil dren, heard of the death of his good friend Jonathan Mitchel!, a Harvard pastor, he explaimed (after due thought and many poetic pangs): flere lies the darling of his time.

Then they realized that in thelr own country it is the delight in killing the umpire rather than the pleasure in watching the game that draws the tremendous crowds through the turnstiles. —George Jean Nathan in Harper's Weekly, MEASURES OF LENGTH.

The carvers use the tigure of Buddha or some other emblem concerning the Buddhistic worship in the greater part. The details are worked out in a careful way.

It is seen to best advan- tage when the atmosphere is some- what hazy and when the sun is whol- for ly or partly behind a cloud and is not in the higher part of the sky.

It is in this form that the effect is most commonly | called the “sun drawing water.” But | such rays may extend in any direc- | tion. so that they diverge from the | sun as a center. No rain need be fall- | fng anywhere near the observer,’ though it Is not impossible for the rays to be visible at a time when rain | streaks also are visible in part of the | sky. The rain streaks, however, do; not diverge from the sun, but are in lines of the falling rain.—St. Nicholas. | | P & 631 ay, New York Branch oflice. 625 F oro ah emi, 19: ILES.—A cure that is guaranteed if youluse RUDY'S PILE SUPPOSITORY. 52-45-1y.
