THE NATORAL HISTORY OF HUMAN ARTS—HOW THE STUDY HAS BEEN ORGANIZED INTO AN ORDERLY SCIENCE—HOW MODERN INDUSTRIES HAVE SPEUNG FROM SIMPLE OCCUPATIONS. ‘The platform of the lécture hall at the National Museum Was covered Saturday afternoon with an odd collection of things—skins, with picture- ‘writing on them, rude knives, or agricultural in- struments, primitive musical instruments, and other objects intended to illustrate in a general Way Prof. Otis T. Mason's lecture on “The Natural History of Human Arts.” This was the fourth of the series of Saturday-afternoon lectures under the auspices of the scientific societies. The attend- ance was so large that many werg unable toobtain seats. The lecturer talked in’ an easy, conversa- tional manner, presenting, in a way to be easily grasped by the popular understanding, the whole Scheie of the science of comparative technology— the ‘study of human arts. These arts, he sal grow out of human wants, As the most gene Want ts food, from that want has grown many arts, Many Occupations in which men and women engage. He pictured the Indian with her basket on her back, going to the field for acorns, then crushing then, pounding them in a mortar, is simple W: aring food, as one the srepsig Simple way prep: ELABORATION OF HUMAN ARTS. ‘The frst men fed themselves out of the bounti- ful hand of nature, From that time to this day of roller mills and patent processes, he said, WAS & Jong and tedious journey. There were human arts growing out of the necessity for clothing. Then other arts were connected with the habitation and With the furniture of the house, The first_ home, he sald, was acave. He held up two rudely-fash- Joned blocks of wood, which, he said, was all the furniture of a primitive house. One ‘was the pil- low by night, the other the chair by day. ‘These two simple objects, he said, were the parents of all the furniture in the palatial mansions of to- day. Another class of arts grew out of the neces- sity of some of getting away from home—means of traveling. ‘The snowshoe, the birch bark canoe, the dugout, the trains of palace cars, and the huge ocean steamships had been produced, ‘Then had come the aris of commerce, or exchange, Most every part of the world has been ransacked to get a boy’s dinner, and that ransacking was called commerce, Another delightful art was the art of communicating ideas, seen in its most primitive form in the picture-writing on skins, ‘Then this picture-writing was abbreviated; then came hlero- elyphics, then the syllabary, and so on down to alphabetical writing. Then there were many arts practiced connected with amusements. Ali pro: ples had their games, the children bad their dolis and skipping ropes. Among all nations they found circuses or theaters, parades, banquets, and. ceremonies. They could not know all THE STORY OF A PEOPLE, or how they lived, unless they studied their amuse- ments. Progressing, they came hext to the esthetic arts. These arts had their beginnings among sav: ‘One court of the National Mu- seum is filled with basketry and textile work of savage women, and another with pottery. It could be proved, he’ thought, that all art Degan with women. The decoration of every piece of pottery was done by @ woman. In our city, he sald, we have a gentleman devoting his whole life to un- folding the history of aboriginal art, beginning ‘with the simple circle and angies, and ‘proceedinj up to elaborate frets and arabesque work. Prof. Mason remarked that his purpose was to interest his hearers in the National Museum, and if he did not succee@in getting them in love with some corner or other Of the Dullding, he failed in his purpose. For every one, there was in the museum something connected with that which he loved most, He spoke next of the arts of social life, of the arts of the family and the community; the arts of the home circle) Around the home circle, he sald,a thousand arts hadcollected. He could ‘spend an hour telling of the arts connected with COURTSHIP AND MARBIAGE. ‘The arts of citizenship, and the arts of religino he next spoke of. He showed a Buddhist prayer wheel, fetiches, masks and other objects used by different ple in their religious ‘ices, touch- ing brehy om each. Old fashioned museumns, the professor said, were mere collections of traps, Not & day passed, he sald, but some one came into the National Museum and asked to see the curiosities, ‘They want to see Guiteau’s bones and the stuffed allegator. If they were shown an Egyptian mummy and told that it was Guiteau’s or an alligator was shown to them as the croco- dile of the Nile, they were satisfied. ‘The spirit of this museum iad gone far beyond that. When one asked the director of the museum What was wanted for the museum, the reply was “every- thing.” If they wanted to write the history of man, and of human arts nothing would be left out.’ The science he spoke of aiined to apply to everything connected with human arts to the products of human industry the same rigid laws of study as the botanist applied to bis plants, or the geologist to his rocks. Just what bones are to ‘the animal the products of human industry are to the human mind. They are fossilized or ossified thoughts, the products of orderly thinking minds, A study of them ought to be just as much asclence as the study of bones, rocks, and plants. He de- ‘xeribed briefly how tie scientist worked collecting; carefully sorting his specimens, so as to place ‘those similar in form, structure or function to- gether, and then making bis inductions, Then he showed the GROWTH OF THE JACK-KNIFE from a simple piece of stone, the aboriginal knife, passing next to a sharpened stone with a bone for g handle, then a knife with an iron blade, down to the modern pocket Knife; this, he, sald, was purely a natural history study. Hespoke of the evolution of the locomotive and of the hoe. Then, referring to the law known to biologists, that modifications in one by natural selection meant modifications ail other parts, he Claimed that this law was good alsoin the natural history of human arts. In this connection he re- ferred to what he claimed were mistakes in the treatment of the aborigines, as law-makers and public officers did not regard this ‘law of mutual modifications in their attempt to change people who lived as hunters into farmers, He spoke of the cl made in arts by environment. He sketched, also, the growth of reiigious cults or creeds, from tie animism of simple-hearted sav- to spiritism, and to higher forms of belief. In ie sclence of anth: he said there was no clergy or laity. ‘They wanted each one to lay his orher experience on the altar of that sclence. He appealed, in closing, to all to do something to aid in writing the history of human arts. A gentle- man connected with the Pennsylvania railroad, he ‘sald, had undertaken to illustrate the growth of the Steam locomotive; another gentleman had undertaken to write the history of time. No one, he suggested, had ever undertaken toform a col- lection that would tell the history of the needle. ‘The lawyers could write the history of law, and the ‘of law-making. ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

Making Over 230 Miles a Day Through Terribly Tempestnous Seas—Wel- coming the Winner at Cork—The Dauntless Expected To-day. ‘The yacht Coronet won the ocean race, passing the winning point, at Queenstown, at 12:41 p.m., Sunday. The wind was blowing hard, and the Coronet entered Cork harbor in spanking style, ‘With all sail set and hugging the western shore. From the start tothe finish the Coronet experi- enced strong gales, with tremendous seas. On ‘Tuesday and Wednesday last she hove to for sev- eral hours each day, and made only ninety miles in the forty-eight hours, Her average run during the passage varied from two hundred and thirty to two hundred and fifty miles aday. The apparent time occupied in passage 1s 14days, 23 hours, 34 minutes, 46 seconds, and the actual time com- puted on the Greenwich basis 14 days, 19 hours, 3 minutes, 14 seconds, The whole number of nauti- cal miles sailed 13 2,949, ‘The day's Tun 1s 201.5 miles, made on Saturday, and the shortest '38.8 miles, made On Tuesd: March 22, The Weather was uncommonly tempestuous, even for this season of the year. No Jess than seven heavy gales contrived to keep the sea in a foment for eleven days of the trip, and for ‘two days the weather was so severe as to make the question of the yacht’s ving through them somewhat doubtful She behaved splendidly, however, in all sorts of weather, and proved her- self One Of the stanchest if not one of the fastest vessels of her type afloat, With the exception of three torn sails anda little broken tackle, every- thing on board the boat was in as good shape when the anchor was Off Queenstown as When it was raised off Tompkinsvilic, Staten Island. It s thought that a much quicker passage might have been made had Capt. Crosby carried more sail. On several occasions when the wind Was light, but the sky threatening, he was very cautious, ‘The number of persons on boani the Coronet was twenty-nine, including sixteen sallors, five officers, the steward, cook, mess boy, and five guests, The officers weré: Capt. C. P. Crosby; navigator, T. B. C. Anderson; mates, W. A. Whittier and Otto Pe- tersen; boatswain, Augustus Bergholm. ‘The ‘advantage ‘gained by the Coronet at the start Increased the confidence of those on board in Doth boat and skipper. It was the first time that Capt. Crosby had ever arent ina yachtrace of any sort. Much praise is given Capt. Crosby for his handling of the Coronet, ing the start- ing line. GETTING OUT TO SEA. Every possible stitch of canvas was spread on the Coronet as she sped through the Narrows at the rate of 13 miles an hour, surrounded by tugs, steamers and steamyachts. Once or twice when under the lee of the highland, tt seemed as though her opponent was gaining her lost ground rapidly, but when the wind filled the sails again she leit the Dauntless further astern than at the start. ‘The tortuous swash chaanel having been followed to the ocean, the Sandy Hook lighthouse bore west by south, and the open sea portion of the trip be- an. ‘The course laid was east by south. When e excursion boat Bay Ridge, Which was the only one of the fleet of steamers to accompany the racing Yachts as far as Sandy Hook lightship, turned back at about 3:40 p. m. the relative posi- tion or the schooners was nearly the same as when they passed through the Narrows, and they were steering the same course. The wind was now greatly increasing, a heavy sea_was running abeam. The ‘beam and sky sails and on both boats were taken in about the same moment. ‘Then the Dauntless a astern rapidly, and_ at, five o'clock was Mil down tix milea away, She bad changed ner course to south-southeast, and just before dark- ness set in only her topmasts were visible, ‘The Bet ae succeeding y agale, which came from the hortheast® soon after muluaignts "Although falrly moderate, it was accompanied by a strong head sea, which made the yacht labor heavily. ‘The waves frequently proke over the bow, but she rode it out well under close-reefed fore and main~ sails and jib, and averaged ten roiles an hour on the course throughout. ‘Thus early were the sea~ Fotng qualities of the Coronet tried. Sue proved ferseit bouyant as a conk, and, Tecoveriig quickly from the added weight caused by shipping one heavy cargo of water on her decks, she would meet and mount the next wave AS EASILY AND GRACEFULLY aS A SWAN. ‘On the second day out the wind was so Ugbt, puffy and capricious that it required almost con- tinual changing of sails and hauling of sheets. ‘The sea continued turbulent, and the yacht at times rolled so violently as to ‘threaten the sta- bility of the spars. The pressure of the wind agaist the mainsail was not suficient to held the all steady, and when Tt appeared, probably eary fh the morning, that. the swaying of the gulf ‘would carry away the masthead the mainsail was replaced by the storm trysail. It was now that the immense square sall did good service, for when spread to counter balance the deficiency of can- vas astern it carried the yacht along much faster, lighted her much by the fiead, and prevented het Ing such quantities of water on deck as when under mainsail to the boom used to spread ts foot to windward. It was, however, found to be im- practicable in a heavy beam sea, owing to its jam- ming the saddle at the foremast, and 1t was un- ipped. 8 AN UGLY CROSS SEA. Early on Tuesday morning a wind rosé from the Northeast, and by daylight it blewagale. The canvas was reduced to double reefed mainsail, foresail, with the bonnet out, and reefed forestay= sail, -The boat was bowling along at the rate of tweive knots, with adry deck, when, between 8 and 9 ovlock in’ the morning, ‘the wind shifted to south-southeast, blowing at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The ‘sudden change caused an ugly cross sea, the crests of the waves breaking over the rails in rapid sticcession and keeping the decks al- most constantly submerged. A TERRIFIC ST. PATRIOK'S DAY STORM. ‘The most terrific storm of the series occurred on St. Patrick's day. It was not unexpected, for the indicator on the barometer, Whose tendency had been downward for three days, suddenly dropped from 29.20 to 2854. The storm first developed soon after midnight in sharp squalls from the southward, with adriving rain. The wind was ft- ful for a. coming variously from south south. east to southwest and south, but finally settlea upon southwest, A10a.m.1t blowing with great velocity, and by noon had become a hurri- Cane, and two hours later the wind’s speed was estimated at eighty miles an hour. This wasa severe test for so small a boat as the Coronet. AS she sank in the trough of the sea it seemed as if the waves, which were half-mast high, would en- gulf her.’ Under reefed foretrysatl, she was lunged by the Wind at the rate of nine Ente and despite. great. volumes ‘of water breaking over the deck, weathered the storm wonderfully well. When, at 5:20 p. m., ‘the fury of the hurricane seemed to be Increasing, instead of diminishing, Capt. Crosby, fearful that the yacht would not hold together much longer if- driven h such @ sea, and not being willing to Jeo own oI arid the lives of those on Doard by running at night, where 1t was reason- bbls to adppose wore icebergs, decided to lay to until the storm had ceased.

Noted Contests From 1816 Down to the Defeat of the Galatea by the Mayflower. From the New York World. The great ocean race between the keel schooners Coronet and Dauntless naturally attracts atten- tion to previous ocean races, and in these con- ‘teste American yacht-owners have been pre- eminent, British yachting men, except in rare In- stances having codtented themselves with the ordinary channel courses of the clubs, which, 80 far as wind and sealikely to be encountered are concerned, were quite as trying to the vessels as & Tace across’ the AUlantic would be, and this pecullarity of Theservice has led to a type of ‘vesselin the British Yacht fleet eminently fitted to withstand heavy Weather. American yachting courses, on the contrary, are land-locked, ‘The harbors are for the most part shallow, and the merican Yacht has been designed to meet those naitions. When, therefore, American owners Propose to go oUt Upon the ocean, 1t means much tore than When the owner of a BHUsh yacht prow pases to do the same thing, and it was thought. bY conservative old seamen the very height of temer. ity When, in 1846, only 2 years after the organi Lion of the New York Yacht Club, Uwo of its yack! ers, the one having a sloop and the other a Schooner, proposed to sail a SO-mile ocean Tace for a stake of aside. Nearly every member of the New York Yacht Club at that time could sali a Yacht creditably, and there was no owner that could not both sail and navigate his own craft. Sothe owners of the sloop Maria and of the ‘hooner Coquette, the two competing yacht knew exactly what their vessels could do, and hai all confidence in themselves and in their craft. It was the month of October, and there was half @ gale blowing from the eastward, so that the sloop had to start with double reefed matpmatls and the bonnet off her jib. The schooner, however, swung hull lower sails, and It Was owing to this abllity to arry her canvas that she won the race in 6h, 5m, 308 and the sloop was 7h. 1m, in golng ‘over the course, October 9, 1868, Mr. Bennett sailed the keel jooner Henrietta against the _centerboard ouer Vesta, from Sandy Hook to Cape Mat Lightship and ‘Tevurn. ‘There was a hard gale from the eastward, and both yachts were much damaged. ‘The Vesta lost her’ jib-boom and the Henrietta parted her forestay and had to heave-to for an hour or so to repair damages. The Henrietta was 30 hours 6 minutes making Uke race, Uhe Vesta beating her by 56 minutes, In December of that year the Henrietta, Fleet- wing and Vesta raced across the ocean, ‘The Hen rietta made the race in 13 days 2? hours, In July, 1870, the British schooner Cambria and the American schooner Dauntless raced for a 2250) cup from Daunt’s Kock, Cork Harbor, Ireland, to Sandy Hook lightship, and the Cambria won.

Th September 28, 1870, there was an ocean race from buoy No. sig twenty tnfles to windward, for cups which had: been offered during the Ausust cruise of the club, but Which had not been sailed Tor, a8 intended, over the Newport course. Mr, Doitglag, at that time owner of the Sappho, offered a cup for d schooner; Mr, Rutherford Stuyvesant, owner of the Palmer,” also offered a cup for schooners, and Mr. Astbury, owner of the Cati- bria, offered a cup for schoouers and one for sloops, WU the promise that if no sloop entered, the wine ning schooner should take both cups. Ali the cups Were of the value of $250 each. ‘The Dauntless won the Douglas cup, the ‘Tidal Wave the Ashbury cups and the Madeline the Stuyvesant cup. October 13, 1870, the Sappho and Cambria had a grand race, 30 miles to Windward and return, from the Sandy’ Hook lghtship, for a 50-culnes cup. ‘The race Was to be made in tive-and-a-hait hours, ‘There was a strong northwest wind, and the Sap- pho beat her British competitor 30 tatnutes 40 seconds, but, a8 she Was over the stipulated ume, the prize was not awanded. ‘The next day the Dauntless gave the Cambria a run 20 miles out from buoy No.5 and beat the Cambria 12 minutes 30 seconds, actual, and 7 ml utes 18 seconds, corrected time, July ‘3, 1871, tt Hleet of the New York Club went down to Cape May to Sulla regatta there, and there was a $500 cup pending on the down between the schooners Sappho, Dauntless, and Wanderer, te Wanderer winning tt.

A few days later the Sappho and Dreadnaught had a race over this course for a #250 cup, the Sappho winning, and shortly after- wards the Daunuess and Dreadnaught raced for the same amount over the same course, and the Dauntless won. uly 23, 1872, the first ocean race by sloops was sailed, the Meta and the Gracle sailing froin buoy No. 5, twenty miles out and return, and the Gracie won by 1m. 45s.
