J. T.aurlo Wallace , ttio head of thb Omaha
Academy of Kinu ArU , which begins Its fall
nd winter season Monday , September 4 ,
wai silling at his easel tlio other afternoon ,
vrlth bnish and palette In hand , limning the
features of a young man posing In n chair
ncnr by.
"Just keeping my hand In , " was Uio greeting -
ing the newspaper man roculved as ho poked
his head Insldo the room. "Hnvo scon so
much art recently that I thought I might
have forgotten all I ever knew , " said the
picturesque director as ho arose to welcome
TIIP.UF.I : representative , "and I was de
termined to find out whether the World's
fair had completely dissipated all my Ideas
regarding art subjects her.co this painting
poll on n warm summer's day. "
It was Just what the newspaper man
wanted , an estimate from a well known
artist whoso picture of Mr. Scott , editor of
the Chicago Herald , In the American section
of the art gallery Is receiving so much at
tention from the art critics the country over ,
and the nowspathcrcr so Intimated to the
painter.
"From a purely technical standpoint , "
laid Mr. Wallace , "Franco leads all coun
tries In the excellence of Its collection ,
although what Is most remarkable , America
Li a close second and Sweden Is easily third ,
with Uusita fourth. In this latter collec
tion a few men stand out most prominently ,
p.spccIiillyKephio , whoso magnificent paintIng -
Ing , 'The Cossack's Answer. ' owned by the
oinporor , attracts great attention. Wlillo
terribly brutal it is full of character and
ihows the greatest possible , originality on
the part of a painter who Is destined to live
in history. *
"Franco is remarkable hot alone in the
marvelous technique shown hue in the ab
sence of the men who arc famous to the art
world , the work of representation having
been left entirely to the younger men , who ,
thank Godl have learned how to paint.
Loon Bnnnal's painting of M. Hcuan , the
man of letters , stands llrst In my opinion.
Of course Bougucreau has several beautiful
stuJics. There nro n great many nudes
necessarily , but they are exquisitely painted
and show the masterful quality of the
French school In this particular. Uagnnh
Bouvcrot's canvas in the United States 1 can
collection , Ti : Bernolso' , U one of the boil
things by a French artist and It Is a pity
that this picture could not have been with
the French collection Instead of In the loan
exhibit.
"One thing Impressed mo very strongly
regarding the French collection and that
was the tendency toward the impressionist
school , all the exhibitors showing a marked
characteristic ; In this regard. The Ameri
can cxhlhlt nlso shows ar Impressionist
trend of thought , which Is quite natural , as
Franco sets iho pace in art matters and wo
follow , no matter where our Gallic cousins
may lead.
"Technically America Is hardly up to the
standard wo had a right to expectin vlow of
the fact , that so many of our leading artists
have received their art education abroad ,
mnny of them still making continental
Europe tholr homo. But the vein of scull-
tncnt , which Is so inherently a part of 'thb'
American character. Is beautifully reflected'
throughout the whole collection. Thomas
Hovenden's 'Breaking of Homo Ties' and
'Bringing Homo the. Bride * are treated
with a skill and delicacy that
' * * hiaka ? ono rojolco that hois an
American fir-list. While we may lack In' '
technique , w more thanmake , up for Jt in
sentiment that everybody can understand.
Thomas W. Dewing , a New York artist , has
a dainty j > ortralt in the American section
' that Is wonderfully well handled and beauti
fully executed. Thomas Uakins' realistic ;
pictures of Drs. Groas and Agncw In the op
erating pit , 'Lecturing to the Students , ' are
among the most powerful pictures in the
gallery of line arts. Ho paints nnturo as ho
iocs It , sometimes , 'I think , a little more
brutally than nature Is , but always virile.
John Sargeant has a magnificent thing In a
portrait of the child of St. Gaudens , the
sculptor , so far its it goes , but It lacks the
clement of completion so essential to the
good portrait. His picture of Ellen Terry ,
bn the other hand , Is perfect , the soul of the
artist having In this case gene into the work
Itself , which is luminous with great ability.
"I cannot conscientiously call J. MucNeil
Whistler's canvases anything clso than utter
rubbish. Ho has a portrait of a little girl on
exhibition In the American collection that Is
positively a caricature of thn worst possible
description , am ) how Whistler could have
attained to his present position is ono of the
things that no man can solve , unless it Is
that his book , -The Gentle Art of Making
Enemies , ' so nauseated the critics that the
sniy course luft to them was Ilaggellation ,
which gave him a certain notoriety
that ho took advantage of. Whistler
Is ono of the few artists liv
ing abroad of llttlo credit to America.
Alexander Harrison has two llnely treated
subjects In the collection. 'Arcadia , ' and
"Girls on the Huashoro. ' Carl Murr boasU
of the largest canvas In the collection , en
titled Flaggclluuts. ' but it Is not a success.
It lacks atmosphere nnd painting qualities
that are very Important. His oilier Dictum ,
'Summer Afternoon , ' Is line In its rendering
of sunlight and shade , and very much
lupcrior to the largo picture upon which he
must have spent a great deal of timo. Garl
Melchcrs is represented by two excellent
ttudics , broad and strong hi treatment , 'Tho
Sermon , ' and the ' 1'ilots. ' While a bit stiff
und woodeny , they show superior painting
qualities , and that is what America needs
most. F. D , Millet , who has charge of the
rolor decorations in the different World's
fair buildings , has several pictures on the
walls , all of them of u curtain quaintncss
nd sentiment that appeals to the picture
buyer's heart , for winch ho socms to have
satcred. But they are very vapid from an
irt standpoint. Sidilons Mowbray has a
llttlti pern in 'Hchcrherazaue , ' from the
Arabian N'lghisthal is ono of the delights of
the exhibition. The color scheme ) S flnqly
ivorkeil out , leaving llttlo to bo desired In
its tonal qualities.
"Much might ho said of the Dutch collec
tion along the line of conscientious criticism.
While It pleases many people it is really
disapxIntmg | ) to the keen observer. All ttio
canvases are In the Intorminahlo grays and
browns without the sparkle and color whlou
nnturo gives. The Dutch artists paint homo
HUhJucts bettor tlmui'.ny nation on earth , hut
when It comes to tcchnlqua they are not 'in
It * alongside of cither Franco or America.
The chef d' univru of the collection Is enti
tled 'Alone , ' by Israels , and U absolutely a
masterpiece. H Js a wonderfully effective
painting and necessarily attracts a great
deal of attention.
"Knglnnd has a big collection , but the rep
resentation Is disappointing , the absence of
well known names being much remarked.
Ono Is pained to sco the work of such fa
mous men us Sir Frederick Ulghton , Frank
Hull und Mllluis so very ordinary. Todcma
is repivsenti'it In his usual vein. But the
younger men llkoKtanhopo Forbes and Frank
llranlev , who have learned how to paint , urn
at their very best. Forbes has a Juwol In
'Forging the Anchor,1 while liranloy's
'Hopeless Dawn' U magutllccnt. There
ire many famous pictures In the
Kngltsh collection and all of them
' ' rtuut of homo and lircsldo. Spain has
nothing of note. Thwu are a number of
: laver things In the Germany and Hussia
rollections. Italy's display is of llttlo value ,
which may also bo said of Denmark , Nor
way , Brazil and Mexico. Austria shows
many line artists. Kdwnrd Charlemout's
largo canvas , 'Tho Page,1 owned by
Verkes. the street railway magnate , being
particularly good. Franz Sinn has several
charming stupes , while Rudolph Bacher's
'Mater Doloroao' Is full of a subtle quality
that enthralls ono.

Omaha Is the bannoF Modern Woodmen
city ot America In nil respocts. Us lodge *
of that order are nil-in excellent condition ,
prospering and growing , nnd the combined
' membership of the camps places this city
'near thu head of the list in the country ,
When the head camp convened in this city
last year It voted to present to the camp
showing the largest number of initiations a
I handsome | banner. The time covered was
February , March and April.
A number of the leading camps in the
Jurisdiction Immediately turned tholr
hustlers loose In the iiucst for now members
and there was a lively scramble all along
the lino. Omaha camp 120 has among its
membership some of 'the most persuasive
hustlers in the universe , nnd they went to
work with the determination of carrying off
that banner. They tailored fucossautly nnd
industriously'and it has borne excellent
fruit. The award of the banner has "been
mndo nnd Omaha camp captures It. The
records of the camp showed at the end of
the throe months the greatest gain in mem
bership of any other camp. Now there Is
rejoicing In the circles of woodcraft , nnd
especially among the members of camp 120.
Several other towns niado n grand hustle ,
and camp 1-HJ did not have n walk away by
any means. The quiet little burg of Decatur -
catur , 111. , has n camp. 1G20 , thut has its
membership . made up from that kind of ma
terial that wins. While Omaha camp
adopted 10U now members the Dccntur camp
was a close second with 102. Half a hundred
other camps competed and nt the end of .ho
six months showed adoptions ranging In
numbers all the way from u dozen to forty.
The only ones In the race were the Omaha

KIX 1'UItT.lC SU11UO1.S
OMAHA , July 23. To the Editor of Tnr.
BEE : On the occasion of the national tour
nament of the turners held at Milwaukee.
Wis. , that vast Gorman-American organiza
tion of men and women for the advancement
of physical and mental culture , and in re
sponse to a short article on physical training
in our public schools , published In the daily
papers a few aays ago , some facts relative to
the merits of the various systems in vogue
would not be amiss.
There are in reality only two systems of
physical culture : the German , or rational
system , and the so-called Swedish system.
All others do not deserve to bo called sys
tems , as they are not based upon any scien
tific principle for the thorough development
of the human body. The alleged system of
Dolsarte is not physical culture at all ; it is
but an nrtificod method of "posing , " well
adapted for the stugo and platform. But as
a means of developing the growing bodies of
our children , it possesses about us much
value as the "faith cure" has for u suffering
humanity.
The Delsarto " " has
"system" never boon
recognized as a proper means of developing
the human body ; it has never received rec-
.oguition us such in any of the institutions of
learning , excepting in some young ladies'
seminaries , where the outward appearance
is all that is required to make up a "young
lady's" education. Ten years of Delsarto in
our public schools would not develop
ono ounce of muscle in any
boy's body ; but , on the other hand ,
if properly taught , and with the assistance
of u fan , would enable our girls to learn the
great art of lllrting , with all the expressive
ness of a Spanish scnoritu. Fashion papers
are the only ones that advocate Dolsarte.
The Delsarto "system , " as a means of pron-
erl.v developing the bodies of our children ,
is a useless wn'sto of time and monqy. Its
proper sphere is limited to the stage and
platform.
The Swedish system , or as it was formsrly
called by the medical profession , the "Swed
ish movement euro , " is all that this
iiumo Implies. H aims to restore
lost health , nnd to improve and
build up the human body. It starts out witli
the proposition that motion Is life , nnd that
constant motion of any part of the body will
strengthen and develop that part. The
Swedish , or "Lingg's , " system of gymnastics
was introduced in many of the hospitals and
healing institutions of Europa und the
United States , and the rigid and strict rules
governing it make it a valuable auxiliary to
any Institution for the euro of the
physically deformed and the con
valescent. Its present advocates have some
what modified tno system and the move
ments nro not us monotonous us formerly , but
the rapid nnd rigid execution of all exer
cises requires the closest attention and In
consequence is a mental as well as physical
strain. AH this system docs not employ
music to assist in the rhymlcal action of the
performer * It becomes monotonous to the
child und docs not act as a recreation or
relieve I mm the mental strain of prolonged
studyt The Swedish sybtoin has many ad
vocates , but In spite of its merits as a promoter -
motor of physical health It does not possess
the qualifications to popularize it and make
it the property of the people and a part and
parcel of popular education.
The German system of physical culture ,
or us it is of tun called , the "tumors' art of
physical tralnlng"is notcoinpast-dofa series
of violent exercises , an some have charged ;
but on the contrary , it may bo successfully
taught In the kindergarten as well an to tha
udult inalu ami fouialo. Its wiilo ncupu nnd
diversified form of notion permit of its being
as successfully taught to iho llttlo tut in the
nursery as to the man in the prime of llfo.
While the Swedish system requires
close attention to , und rigid obucr-
vauco of the execution of siirloi of monotonous
onous movements.tho German system is the
syatmnlzed natural play of boys and girls ,
and therefore recreation. This system Is
successfully usea in developing such muscles
us huvo hoi'omo dormant through physical
Inactivity or othiT causes. A vast number
of people to this day confound the 'ymnus-
tics of the turners with the alms and ob
jects of socalled athljitfa or siorting | clubs ,
which flourish In largo cities und whoso aims
and objects are merely u matter of xport ;
tha man of sport will only nook to
unduly develop that part of hU body
which will assist him In accomplishing the
object of his sport , The system of physical
culture , a1 * prueticHd by the turners , U based
on r.cientllic ! principles , a result of researches
of men of science. If ttio excellence of any
art or system of physical training can bo
estimated by the antiquity of its .origin ,
the "art of turnurn ° ( Turnkunst )
can Justly lay claim to the highest honor
and veneration , for its histor.v date *
bael ; to the ancient Grr-oks , who con-
Lidurod it a necessary part of public educa
tion. The system of physical culture as es
tablished by the turners alms at a symmet
rical development of the body ; it U a promoter -
motor of health and if properly applied
strengthens the will power. Calisthenics
und gymnastics , as wo apply them to our

The tclcctroscopo fs an instrument sug

pose of transmitting pictures or views of
moving or stationary objects to long dis
tances , Thn sensitiveness of selenium to
llffht Is well known , and this quality Is util
ized in M. to Pontois" Invention. The trans
mitter is n selenium cell uK | > n which the
light from the object falls after modification
by u rotating perforated disk. The little
shower ol rays Is converted into a procession
of momentary currents which pass along to
the roc-elver. The receiver Is a gas cham
ber , the valve of which is regulated by incoming -
coming currents of electricity , and thus a
calcium light of greater or less intensity is
produced.
The storage battery for traction work Is
steadily training ground. The Second vo-
ntio line in Now Yoric , which is partly
e-iuipped with storage battery cars , bus
done such creditable work during the past
month that the officials propose to install
the new power th'roughout Iho lino. Cities
which still retain a prejudice against the
trolley nro showing great interest in accumulator
later traction , and the Second avenue line
has been visited by the representatives of
different cities which have faith in the fu
ture of the storage battery. The results
have been most satisfactory , so far as the
effectiveness of the system has gene the
only question in doubt being whether it is
possible to install the storage battery as
cheaply us the trolley lino.
Ono of the most desirable adjuncts to the
electric car , which is now to ho seen in every
progressive city , is au effective fonder. A
safety appliance of this class bus just been
tried in Boston. Its inventor gave the most
eloquent possible testimony ns to his faith in
its effectiveness by lying down on the rails
and walling there until the oncoming car
reached him. when ho was picked up by the
fender. This fonder , which is claimed to re
move any object or person absolutely from
the track without injury , is materially dif
ferent from any seen on the cars at present ,
It extends twenty-four inches in front of the
car , nnd is formed of a series of steel wires
that curve in n gentle swell to the bar in
front of the fender , whioh is a few Inches
above the track. A body striking the fen
der is scooped up on to the wires owing to
their elasticity , and it is so retained that It
cannot roll off in front of the car.
A now and remarkable method of electric
heating was recently described in these col
umns , in which , by the use of a glass or porcelain
celain vase llnod with lead ami nearly tilled
with acidulated water and a bar of wrought
iron through which the electric current Is
passeda heat so intense ) is produced ttmt ho
iron melts and fulls oil' in sp.irks and buo-
Ucs , leaving a clear , glowing surface in par-
feet condition for welding. The credit for
this invention is claimed by two Belgian
scientists. It now appears that-a modifica
tion of this process has been kndwn for some
time in this country. By n slight change in
the mannyr of carrying out Mils experiment
a most brilliant uru is produced under water
by the intensity of thu heat frencratod. The
practical advantage of the improved process ,
and ono which in nil probability will load to
its oxtcnssvo use , is the.total absence of oxi
dation of the heated metal. The sight of
wrought Iron molted llko wax in a glass jar
filled with water is astonishing to the lay
man , and suggestive of startling und marvel
ous possibilities to the electrician.
