ANTIQUITY OF
DECORATIVE ART
Strange Sources From Which
Pigments Used by Modern
Painters Are Derived.
PRESERVATION OF SURFACES.
Crude but Effective Processes Employ
ed by the Egyptians and Greeks of
Pliny’s Day—Noah Prudently
Waterproofed the Ark.
Whether paint was invented in an
swer to a need for a preservative or to
meet a desire for beauty is a question
fully as knotty as the ancient one about
tlie relative time of arrival of the
chicken or the egg. It was invented,
though, and it serves both purposes
equally; so whether it is an offspring
of mother necessity or an adopted son
of beauty remains forever a disputed
question.
The first men, cowering under the
fierce and glaring suns of the biblical
countries, constructed rude huts of
wood to shelter them. The perishable
nature of these structures caused rapid
decay, and it is probable that the oc
cupants, seeking some artificial means
of preservation, hit upon the pigments
of the earth in their search. It is per
haps natural to suppose that It was
tiie instinct of preservation that led
men to the search, although the glories
of the sunsets and tlie beauties of the
rainbow may have created a desire to
Imitate those wonders in their own
dwellings.
Tin; earliest record of the applica
tion of a preservative to a wooden
structure dates from the ark, which
was, according to the Bible, “pitched
within and without.” The pitch was a
triumph of preservation whatever it
lacked as a tiling of beauty.
Dot-oration applied to buildings first
conies to light with ancient Babylon,
whose walls were covered with repre
sentations of hunting scenes and of
combat. These were done in red and
tlio method followed was to paint the
scene on tlie bricks t the time of
manufacture, assuring permanence by
baking. Strictly speaking, this was
not painting so much as it was the
earliest manifestation of our own fa
miliar kalsomining.
The first Hebrew to mention paint
ing is Moses. In the thirty-third chap
ter of the book of Numbers he in
structs the Israelites, “When ye have
passed over the Jordan into the land
of Canaan, then shall ye drive out all
the inhabitants of the land from be
fore you and destroy all their pic
tures. , .
At later periods the Jews adopted
many customs of the peoples who suc
cessively obtained power over them
and in the apocryphal hook of the
Maccabees is found this allusion to
the art of decorating, “For as the mas
ter builder of anew house must care
for the whole building, but lie that
Undertaketh to set it out and paint it,
must seek out tilings for the adorning
thereof."
Although Homer gives credit to a
Greek for the discovery of paint, the
allusions to it ill the hooks of Moses,
the painted mummy cases of tlie Egyp
tians and tlie decorated walls of Baby
lon and Thebes fix its origin at a
period long .antecedent to the Grecian
era. Tlie walls of Thebes were paint
ed 1,900 years before the coming of
Christ and 990 years before “’Oilier
smote his bloomin’ lyre."
The Greeks recognized the value of
paint as a preservative and made use
of something akin to it on their ships.
I'liriy writes of tlie mode of boiling
wax and painting ships with it, after
which, lie continues, “neither the sea,
nor the wind, nor the sun can destroy
tlie wood tints protected."
The Unmans, being essentially a
warlike people, never brought the dec
oration of buildings to the high plane
it had reached witli tlie Greeks. For
all that tlie ruins of Pompeii show
many structures whose mural decora
tions arc in fair shape today. The
colors used were glaring. A black
background was the usual one and tlie
combinations worked thereon red, yel
low and blue.
In the early Christian era tlie use of
mosaics for churches somewhat sup
planted mural painting. Still, during
the reign of Justinian tlie Church of
Saint Sophia was built at Constantino
ple and its walls were adorned with
paintings.
In modern times the uses of paint
have come to be as numerous as its
myriad shades and tints. Paint is
unique in that its name tas no syno
nym and for it there is no substitute
material. Bread is the staff of life, but
paint is the life of the staff.
No one thinks of the exterior of a
wooden building now except in terms
of point coated. Interiors, too, from
painted v.yills and stained furniture
down lo the lowliest kitchen utensil,
all receive their protective covering.
Steel, so often associated with cement
re-enforcing, is tainted belore it goes
to give solidity to the manufactured
stone. The huge girders of the sky
scrapers are daubed an ugly but eßi
etont red underneath tlie surface coat
of black. Perhaps tlie best example
of the value of paint on steel Is found
in the venerable Brooklyn bridge, on
which a gang of painters is kept go
ing continually. It is scarce possible
to think of a single manufactured ar
ticle which does not meet paint some
where in the course of its construc
tion. So has paint grown into the
very marrow of our lives.

FAITH WON, SAYS FOCH
PARIS, April 4.—Tlie writer asked
Marshal Ficli if liis strategic science
was a doctrine that could he taught or
if it was rattiyr not that faculty “to
divine and improvise—called genius."
“Strategic science,” said Marshal
Foch, “can he acquired, hut it is not
a group of formulas or a set of princi
ples. It is a knowledge which the chief
must make part of himself so that it
will guide all his decisions. This mental
discipline can he gained by a study of
history and by a study of concrete ex
amples. It must leave the mind of the
commander so open that he acts on ac
curate information and not preconceiv
ed ideas and hypotheses. But the most
brilliant qualities of intelligence are
nothing without tlie will to victory.
The battle won is the battle in which
one refuses to admit one’s self-beaten,
because the army is to tlie chief what
the sword is to the soldier. Its value
lies in the hand that wields it.”—Tran
script.
Go along the streets of our city and
you can pick out the hoys, who in

ting idle on a dry goods box, swing
ing their feet and squirting tobacco
juice. In ton or twenty years from
now they* will lie doing the same thing
and declaring tlie world lias been made
all wrong. Never having made an ef
fort to do anything for themselves they
do not like those who have; having
nothing themselves, they look upon
every man who lias gained property or
high standing or high professional repu
tation through unceasing toil and econo
my of time and means, as having
wronged them in some way, and 3s an
enemy to be denounced in season and
out of season.
