THE imXE THINGS THE MOST
VALUAULK.
Comparatively few people rog.-rd them¬
selves ns inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at ouo time or another,
with ideas that seemed culculuted to reduce
some of the little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without mrthnr
thought. don’t the railroad „ com jinny make ,

A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce people to keep track of t.heir

the Press Claims Company has rebolved to
offer n pure.
To the person who submits to it the
simplest and most promising invention

company will give twenty-live hun-

funding the fees f^r securing the pat¬
ent.
It will also advertise the invcntioi

The offer is subject to the following condi¬
tion*:
Every competitor must obtain a patent
for his invention through the company. He
must first appiv for a preliminary search, the
cost of which will bo five dollars. Should
this search show his iuveution to be uu-

expense. Otherwise he will be expiated to

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETI¬
TION.
This is a competion of rather an unusual
nature. It is common to offer prizes for the
beBt story, or pictnre, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company’s off#** is something
entirely different. Each person is merely
himself asked to help himself, and the one wuo helps
to the liest advantage is to be re¬
warded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on
a certain eoruer is not accepted has spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But th« person who patente a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com¬
foil pany’s competition, need not worry if hf

FEATURES OF THE RUSSIAN SECTION
An Element of the Oread fat Noticeable In
All the Paintings There-The floddesa of
Grain and the Story Concerning Her—
How Different People View the Works
of Fine Art.
Would’* Fair, Sept. 1 - [Special.] -
Every time one goes to the Art palace he
Is a little more anxienu to go again and by
and by there comes a pain. It comes of
the conviction that In the time one can
spare for this one building he will just
learn how to see it. When he really be¬
gins to see it he will have to go home. Of
course this does not apply to onr cultured
friends, as they already know how to see,
and every time I look through a section
and report in the evening to my own indi¬
vidual cultured mentor she breaks out
with enthusiasm:
“0, did you see thus and so?”
“No, ma’am, right I did not.’’
"Then go back tomorrow and see
it, for you have missed the best thing in
that section.’’
There are too many best things for any
one man to see, if the testimony of all the
enthusiasts be accepted; but there are a
few points on which all visitors agree.
One is that the Russian Bectlon is the
place for terrors. Some of the paintings
are wonderful as works of art, but there
is in most of them an element of the
dreadful. Even in thw calm domestic
scenes, or those meant to be such, where a
peasant family is sitting about the table
or country people are drinking at an inn
or the like, about half the faces look as if
the folks were sorry they were alive. And
the most singular part of it is, that expres¬
sion seems as marked on the faces of the
children as of the grown people, or so it
appears to me.
"The Cossack’s Answer," No. 88, is one
of the magnificently terrible pictures
which I was sent back to see, and was
very much surprised to find an inscription
stating that it is the property of the czar,
loaned for this exposition. Now it is a
very high compliment, indeed, for Alex¬
ander III to select one of his finest paint¬
ings for onr inspection, a really royal art
of international courtesy, but why ho
should have chosen such a subject rather
puzzles me. The finest painting in the
Russian section, as it seems to ,me in my
present stage of culture, is the one repre¬
senting the Santa Maria in a storm anr
Columbus expostulating with his mutin¬
ous crew. (No. 106.) The terror is there
overcome by the sense of the sublimity.
The only really bright and joyous paint¬
ing in the room is the one representing
the bride and her friends ns the latter give
the last touches to her toilet.

Of course everybody knows a little
something about mythology, for one could
not live in a land of education without at
least becoming familiar with the names of
Jupiter and Juno, Mars, Mercury and
Minerva and all the rest of that gang. It
is, however, quite a pleasure to observe
that many of our granger friends from
the four states which center here (and
they still constitute half the visitors) look
around with much interest for Flora and
Ceres and Pomona and the rest of the
rural divinities they became familiar with
in the lodges of the Grange. I regret to
add that I was more familiar with the
burlesques of those worthy characters
than with the reality, but I believe that in
the sessions of the lodge Ores sat on One
side of the Worthy Patron with a bunch of
wheat or other grain, aud Pomona on the
other side with fruit emblems, while Flora
did the ornamental as was fitting for the
Queen of Flowers. 0 * • *
Well, they are all here many times re¬
peated, and some of them marvelously
beautiful in form and color. I fancy (and
It may be a cruel fancy) that rnauy a plain
and unattractive woman heaves a deep
sigh at sight of some of these beautifully
feminine forms just as I do when I look at
the statue of Hercules. In the French
section generally the female figures are a
little more slender and delicately outlined
than elsewhere, but Ceres is nearly always
presented in art as somewhat stouter than
the giddy goddesses, such as Venus and
Hebe. As all the grangers know Ceres
abundance. was goddess of groin and agricultural
Her beautiful daughter
Proserpina was carried off by Pinto, king
of the infernal regions, and when Cerci
filed her complaint in the court ('
Olympus it was decided that if the gir
had eaten nothing in hell she must be re¬
stored. But it was proved that she had
eaten a pomegranate, so a compromise
was made by which she was to stay half
the year under ground and half the year
above. Ceres ratified it and made the
growth of her favorite grains to corre¬
spond and hence all such as are sown one
year and reaped the next are called
cereals. As we see that they do grow that
way, it really requires some skepticism to
reject the story.

It is very pleasant, indeed, to get a good
seat near some rather startling or highly
colored picture and bear the extreme opin¬
ions passed ol it by different groups. The
party of four or five who come to the fair
together usually go through the buildings
together; in the Art palace one catalogue
does for all, and if there is one in the
party with some knowledge of art they
often dispense with tbe book. I think
myself that one enjoys a picture more if
he studies it out before learning the name.
First comes a group and standing before^
some painting in which there is, to my eye J
*t least, more color and art than beauty
they exclaim, “Why, what a messy auchj Ynixedr
up thing it U1 It’s a shame to put
thing here. Come on, girls, it’s horrftff’
The next group stand in silence till the
catalogue is consulted and tbe title read,
then they gaze awhile and warmly ap¬
prove. Much is said about “tone” and I
hear frequent references to the "impres¬
sionist school," which refers, I suppose, to
the quality in a picture that oommands
attention at first view even if the mass do
not find beauty in it.
One of this class gave me quite a new
and valuable idea the other day. The peo¬
ple with him were evidently of my sort
and declared with one voice that the color
in a sunset scene on water was ridiculous
—“nothing like it in nature.” “You are
mistaken,” he rejoined, “the painter has
in fact toned down the natural colors con¬
siderably. It seems otherwise to you be-

and the paintings very seldom. But
than that because nature is always chang¬
ing, always 1A motion, while the artist
must take just one brief phase of it and
thus it mnst stand always In the picture.

as deep colors as it really is, for the bird Is

lake front 1 saw that he was right. I con¬
clude, tlierefore, that In starting my edu¬
cation In art I had the cart before the
horse—that we must not judge the paint¬
ings by nature altogether, but must study
the painting to enable us to see what in
really in nature.

I have been very much interested in tbe
question of locality, for the United States
is now old enough for us to appropriately
ask: Are there certain small areas In
which the people have an inborn tendency
to the fine arts as appears to be tho case In
the Old World? The managers have not
given us a list of the artists by states and
I could hardly be expected t o go laborious¬
ly through the long list aud classify them,
but so far as I have gone I am pleased to
note that many sections are represented.
Even Utah where, as I take it, life is on as
purely material a basis as anywhere on
this continent, has developed some tal¬
ented artists in almost every line. I long
ago noticed, and some eighteen years ago
published my conclusions that there are
many sections of the United States having
each its own marked peculiarity in hu¬
man development, and no matter what
POMONA AND CERES.
part the immigrants come from their
children show the local type from the
staH.
In Utah, for instance, a majority of the
Immigrants are from the brood and stocky
peasantry of Europe, and ns late as 18TO
dealers in foot-wear habitually ordered
cases averaging two or three sizes larger
than are worn in New York; but their
children grow up in the American like¬
ness, tall and slender and springy, and
the arched Instep is common in the second
generation. I predict, therefore, that In
the third and fourth generations Utah
will be noted for handsome women as its
mountain valleys are a fair reproduction
of those of Circassia, Georgia and Min-
grelia where, according to tho old geogra¬
phies, the Aryan race reach physical per¬
fection.
E. Evans, of Lehi, Utah, has a beautiful
painting entitled “Harvest”—No. 410, U.
S. section—and J. T. Harwod, of Salt
Lake city has another entitled “Preparing
Dinner”—No. 530. Tho “Wounded Buf¬
falo,” No. 27, is a sculpture by James A.
Byrnes, of Denver; “The End of the* Buf¬
falo Hunt,” No. 98, is by Preston Powers,
of Denver, and “Left of Paradise,” No.
116, is by Ida Stair of the same place.
California is very well represented in all
lines of art. New York and Boston are
credited with more pictures than all other
places put together, of course, bccauso the
great schools are there and unfortunately
artists’ productions are only designated
by the place of production and we do not
know the early home of tbe artist. Chi¬
cago stands third on the list aud several
other cities contend for fourth place. It
seems to me that in art a new system of
classification might well be adopted, that
we might know the native state or terri¬
tory of the artist as well as the school in
which he did his work.
Of future events not yet exploited a very
interesting one will be the athletic con¬
tests which begin Sept. 18, for in addition
to all the other wonders we are to ha ve the
Olympic games on a small scale, at least.
The first day is that of the amateur ath¬
letic clubs when there will be a trial for
the swimming championship at 100 yards,
220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards and one
mile. There is a good deal of swimming
going on now and the exhibits made every
day in front of the Natatorlnm are well
worth seeing. The lake water is cold and
the waves are often rough, but the hardy
athletes breast them with hearts of con¬
troversy, as Cassius said he and Caesar
did.
On the second day, Sept. 14, the main
event probably will be the handicap ath¬
letic meeting, where there will be running
at all distances from seventy-livo yard* to
two miles, hurdle races, walking matches,
bicycle races, vaulting and pole-jumping
throwing weights from 18 up to 50 pounds
and tugs-of-war, so called, by teams of
four men each. Sept. 15 will be
given up chiefly to ball and lacrosse, and
on Sept. 16 all the stars in the alleged ath¬
letic firmament will wind np the doings in
contests ihe for the world’s championships,
names enrolled would fill a column
like this and it is confidently alleged that
there will be some of the tallest running
and highest jumping ever seen in Amer¬
ica.
If one may judge by the recent past the
special days to come will indeed be won¬
derful. Illinois set her stakes to have 300,-
000 people here on her day and really had
half that many, so as Chicago promises
700,000 on her day, we may expect 350,000.
Utah intends to also astonish the world
on Sept. 9, and has already completed ar¬
rangements for a very appropriate cele¬
bration. All the surviving pioneersareto
be here, numbering as is supposed- about
400, and including the present heads of tho
Mormon chtweh. Special ratraiiaxipbeeff
obtained for them on the railroads and if
nothing else is done the parade and, march
of the old veterans of Nauvoo and Klrt-
land and Independence, Mo., the men who
crossed the plains in 1847 to found a relig¬
ious community on the shores of our Jor¬
dan and Dead sea, will be well worth see¬
ing. In Utah as eveiywhere else time
softens animosities and easts a halo over
the rugged hills long passed; the heroic
achievements of both factions are then
thrown into a common stock and become
the common glory of the country, and al¬
ready those once called “blood-drinking
Gentiles” begin to speak with respect of
Brigham Young and join in giving honor
to “Our Pioneers." J. H. BeawJL
