Tho late Edwin A. Abbey’s most noted historic#) painting is that of the. coronation of King Edward VII. I t is eminently successful, hut he had a great .many troubles with it. lie had the* responsibility, for ex* ample, of many thousand pounds’ worth of magnificent robes, orders and decorations which bad been lent by the wearers in older that tha costumes might be correctly repro­ duced. . , “I could have danced for joy when my studio was free of the lust of'them,’’ he told a friend, ‘‘and I could once more sleep the sleep of the just and gemless, my dreams. . unhaunted by desperate burglars in masks or accusing police who refus­ ed to believe my protestations that I hud not pawned the KoMnoor to buy a billion, tubes of paint.” Of difficulties with people he dis- ' creetly said little, and he declared that the king and queen were the most punctual, patient and conaid- ' crate of sitters. It was not the roy­ alties but the lesser grout who miss­ ed appointments, wasted time, could not or would not-retain a Simple pose or who took offense because they thought that they were not sufficiently prominent in the pic­ ture or sufficiently flattered in por­ trayal. The experience taught him, he declared, that in point of vanity there is not a pin to choose between men and women. If one day he had to deal with a lovely peeress in- tears- because her face showed on the canvas no big­ ger than a farthing, the next dny he might have to soothe the feelings of a grizzled general, irate because' the score of medals, orders and dec­ orations covering his breast did not all appear distinctly, recognizably and in detail. Even a bishop, he learned, could be cross in a quite . secular manner when his unques­ tionable good looks were obscured by necessary shadow, Mr. Abbey was not, of course, the ‘ first painter of such a scene to en­ counter such trials,- and indeed his ' tact, good nature and American in- dependence fitted him, to cope with them better than musts/ He was- dot of the submissive dis­ position of that German court paintr ■er who was once reproached by a haughty princeling for having'de­ picted him as smaller and more in- ■ significant than his neighbor in a certain group; who was n mere bar- . on. The artist pleaded the require­ ments of perspective. “Perspective! Perspective!” re­ peated the prince scornfully. “Tt is the requirements of rank you should observe. What matters perspec; tive ?” Nothing,, highness. I t is . erely an artistic tradition,” acquiesced the. painter humbly. “The error BhalJ be remedied.” “That is right,” his highness as-' aented graciously, “but you ought to have known that perspective is nothing to a 'prince.”—Youth’s Companion, -* • 1 1 •"1,1■" ’ ..

Beetle Is Strong, , If asked to name tho strongest ani­ mals, most persons begin -with the largest; the elephants, and continue with oxen, horses, etc. This Is, of course. correct-ih ho far as their total, horsepower is concerned, but for real” strength, proportioned to the Bize and weight of the animal, one must go to the insect world, Compared with' In-, sects the strength of almost any large animal and especially of man, Is absurd. A-man is considered strong if he can drag a mass weighing three or four times as much as himself, but the beetle will walk .with 500 times his ownyveight. If a man were placed under wooden box with five times' his weight on top to hold it down, he would remain there indefinitely, but to retain a stag beetle prisoner in the same Way one must pile on top of tbe box at least 1,800 times its weight.

The rain that falls into the funnel runs down into the bottle, nnd the quantity is measured by means of a graduated glass. Suppose, for ex­ ample, that in twenty-four hours the quantity collected measured two and three-tenths fluid ounces. This is equal lo four cubic inches, and if the area of the funnel be twelve inches it follows that there, has been a rainfall of onc*lMrd of an inch. ______■ Engraving With Dynamite.
