This was done for the pur- pose of holding district meetings at the most central point of the district, all of them being small and nov embracing a large area of territory. The district meetings were ar- ranged with the idea of enabling the grand master to visit the lodges in this manner, it would be impossible for him to do so in any other manner, It would be a physical impossibility for him to visit each lodge in the swate, and the new method was inaugur- ated to overcome that dificulty. Each district is under the care of a deputy ‘who calls the meeting. The Omaha district is one of the largest In the state and includes eleven lodges, located here, South Omaha, Plattsmouth and Papillion. W. F. Bryant of the county treasurer's office is the district deputy. He has issued a call for the district meeting to be held here Thursday evening, April 13, The meeting is for Odd Fellows No program has been nged as The Odd Fellows will be given u sup- yet. per, however, and the social geature will not e overlooked. It is expected that there will be a large attendanco from the South Omaha, Plattsmouth and Papillion lodges, and of course the Omaha lodges will turn out in force and give the visitors a royal welcome. Mayor Weir of Lincoln, the grand master, will be present, and others of the grand officers will probably be in attendance. The committee appointed by Grand Mas. ter Weir to arrange for the attendance of Nebraska Odd Fellows at the World's fair held a meeting at Lincoln the other day and tool th i steps.

G. Borglum, the artist, and his visit to Eu- rope. In that finely descriptive article Mr. Borglum is quoted as ing, “One has to un- learn in Paris much that has been learned in this country.” These words of Mr, Borglum's are apt to mislead some people and cause them to think that the course of art study in this country is partly false, and that in Paris it is better understood and imparted to others, while the real facts are, in many particulars, en- tirely the reverse of this. The writer does not wish to enter into any dispute with Mr. Borglum, whose friendship and opinion he highly esteems, but only to correct any false on his remarks may » condition of art in this It is true thata few years ago it proper thing to go abroad for art studies s different now, and American a artists are recognized by the best artists and crities in France. It is also true that the masses of the people are coming to this opin- ion slowly, but they are coming to it, and all must do so sooner or later. As the science that locates the stars and tells of their com- ing and going is the acenmulated wisdom of It v and many minds; so is the splendid technique of the painting of today the result of the care- ful and persevering studics of the masters of the world, This art knowledge is as free as the ai and is not the heritage of any particular school of painting, or coterie of artists. Neither can sunny Italy nor chivalrous F'rance confine this knowledge within their artistic realms. It has crossed the waters and is with us today, and there are many artists of methodical minds and artistic temperaments diligently working out the problems ot art that have been put be- fore them ; some » already solved them There are many different schools of paint ing, some of which have their wdividuality in the manuer in which they depart from the truth of nature. But there is only one truth, and it pervades the most hideous as well as the most beautiful view of nature. The art of transferring to canvas this truth in a scientific and soultul manuer, 8o us to repre- sent the of paintin, touch of p alities of nature, is the technique u; The art of putting on nt so that it will accurately give the proper qualities of modeling, light, values, both of light and color, and good drawing, all in the one touch, is good tect nique.

The system is provided with connections by which, whenever the transmitilng pen is raised slightly, the same s in raising a pen or pencil from the paperin ordinary writ- ing, the receiving pen is correspondingly raised and vice versa. ever the end of a line isreached and the transmitting pen is moved back to commence a new line, or when it is necessary to go back in the line to make a change, or when it is ed to di: neces to pen in the ordinary way in order to prevent the receiving pen from making a continuous mark and thus marring the record, When not in use the transmitting pen is hang on & pen rack, just as the hand instru- ment of a telephone is hung at the side when it 15 not employed.

The pen is connected at its points to tw cards which extend horizontally erosswise to tric current are produced as the pen is moved from left to right or vice ver: ing in number with the linear mo and varying in speed of succession with the rapidity of the pen movement. As the pen is moved up and down in forming the chara ters the other circuit is interrupted and pul- sations are produced in the same manner. The receiving pen preferably used by Prof. Gray is a fountain pen composed of a tube of very fine or capillary bore, having its end forme into a writing point.

The proper supply of ink to the pen is regulated by capillary action, and the bore of the pen is so fine that no ink will flow from it except atsuch time as its point rests upon the paper. In the reproduction of writing the rec ing pen operates by a series of steps cros wise of each other and the relative number of steps in each direction depends upon th | obliquity of the direction iu which the trans | mitting pen is moved by the operator. The length of the steps with which the rec pen is moved may be it i but it will preferably be so adjusted w take from 75 to 100 steps to the inch. If it is desired that the characters formed by the receiving pen shall corvespond in size to those formed by the t tting pen, the receiver will be soadjusted that its pen will at each interruption of ono of the circuits be moved a distance equal to the movement of the transmitting pen required to effect the interruption.
