DR. KINNETT Elephant-Hunting Dy cave Men.- Stradanua. kHB recent discoveries of prehistoric designs til » cave in the south of Franc* confirm the assertion made by mediaeval writers that as sport formed the subjects of the earliest designs, the disciples of Nimrod can rightly claim to have given the first Impulse to art. Unfortunately for us, the old skin-clad sportsman artist who covered the walls of his Perigord cave with outline drawings of £i« fellow-denizens--the mammoth, the giant cave bear and the reindeer--thereby securing for himself undying fame as the nost archaic of all artists, and endowing that underground gallery with the distinction of being the most ancient of all art repositories, failed to depict his own form divine in con­ nection with the trotting mammoth or the Bbambllng bear. True, the spirit of self-effacement which this omission be­ trays evinces a refreshing absence of the "personal element" It proves more convincingly than could a library of volumes what an infinite vista of ages intervenes between that flint- wielding cave man and the modern, self-assertive, press-the- button sportsman. But stay! Are we Judging this instance of palaeontological self-obliteration quite justly? Was that troglodyte's failure to leave a single indication aa to the relative position of man and beast really the result of fen- dine diffidence? What evidence have we that this artist of the Pleistocene Age had already emerged from that primeval condition when man was still the hunted instead of the banter? How do we know that the huge Elepbas primlgen- nos or the formidable Ursus speloeus portrayed In that Peri­ gord Louvre was not hunting him, the pigmy homunculus? What proof have (we that these crude tracings were not drawn with trembling hand after a horror-struck retreat to his cave, when his senses, which then were still as keen m those of the hawk, the far- scenting deer, or the acutely- hearing wolverine, warned him of the approach of his talentless foe? Indeed, have we not evidence supporting such doubts in the shape of a •tone hammer found embed­ ded in the skull of a Megace- roa hibernicus? Had that blow been dealt by a hunter to an animal already down la order to dispatch it, the prec­ ious flint tool, which to pro­ duce had cost such Infinite labor, would not have been left where Professor Wau- choppe found it untold ages later. What • .more likely than that the blow was in­ flicted as a desperate act of Belf-defense on the part of the hard-pushed quarry when the antlered monster charged down upon him, crushing him to death before he had time to withdraw his invaluable flint? That bit of bone-encased rock--what tragedies of the Stone Age does it not suggest? -- But we have strayed far afield from the real purpose of these lines, which is none else than to make the reader acquainted with the limnings of an Infinitely less remote age, but which, as samples of finished drawings of sporting scenes, yet rank among the oldest we have. Florentine of the Florentines, though Flemish by birth, for he was born in Bruges in the year 1523, Giovanni delta S trad a, or to use his Latin­ ised name with which he frequently signed bis work, Joannes Stradanus, had acquired by his apprenticeship to Michael Angelo many of the famous artist's peculiarities and mannerisms, as a glance at Stradanus' prancing, heavily-maned steeds and giant-limbed men discloses. Strada­ nus was born at a most opportune moment, for the craving for pictorial matter making itself felt in the second half of his century was creat­ ing a demand which far exceeded the supply, and though your Bodes and Tschudis, and even ear­ lier art critics, insist that this craving helped moi* tban any other circumstance to prostitute art, debasing the divine inspiration of the painter to a common craft, It must not be forgotten that but for men like Stradanus, Theodore de Bry, Hans Bol, the multitudinous Galle family at Ant- weip, Collaera, Wlerx, Mallery, Sadeler and Golt- shis, as well as the De Passe family, who all worked with extraordinary energy in turning out "pictures of the day," our knowledge of the daily life and of occurrences in that tempestuous cen­ tury would be nothing like as correct and inti­ mate as It is. What progress, for Instance, art made in the half-century between 1517 and the year 1567, when Stradanus drew his one hundred and four Venationes sporting pictures, a glance at "Theuerdank," Emperor Maximilian's famous book of adventures, and at the prints appertain­ ing to the firet-named series, will show. Both the designer of the pictures and the wielder of the graver had made giant strides in the interval, and as we can >m from reproductions of original drawings by Stradanus' hand, many a master of the eigh tenth century would have done well to study the Italianised Fleming's method and tourhes- The drawings afford amusing evidence of the widespread ignorance which then prevailed In connection with certain forms of sport. Perhaps the most characteristic in this respect is the pic­ ture of mountain sport--viz., the chase of the chamois. When one first saw the print of this picture and one's astonished gaze rested upon the delineation of the agile mountain beast carrying horns that are crooked forward Instead of back­ ward, one naturally assumed that this extraordi­ nary mistake was made by the engraver and not by the artist who drew the animal, whose body and pose are in other respects correct. But in this one would have done the busy Antwerp en­ gravers an ~ Injustice, as was disclosed when the original came into one's possession, for there, Immortalized by master hand, prance about not one but several chamois with this curious mal­ formation. In other respects, too, Stradanus drew upon his Imagination in concocting this drawing, for he represents the man of Michael Angelo-llke limbs strapping steigelsen, or crampons, to his naked feet, which, of course, was never done. To turn "to another form of sport--elephant and ostrich hunting--Stradanus in the former picture drew his quarry of very under-sized dimensions, a mis­ take not usually made either by him or by other artists of his age, who. as a rule, magnified the else of foreign animals. Take as an instance -our reproduction of an engraving after another •drawing by the same Florentine artist. Here we have elephants which if we accept the ordinary human form as our scale, must have stood some­ thing like eighteen feet high, though probably. as thtf , Inscription below tells us that the man in the act of hamstringing his quarry is a troglo­ dyte or cave-dweller, a race who were believed to be of dwarf stature, the disproportion is ln- -tended to be as great as it is.

For prao- ically all of his drawings were engraved and pub- isbed in the former country, as were most oth­ ers of a similar nature, with the exception per­ haps of those of his pupil, Tempesta, who, living Hn Rome, and evincing a like fertility and Indue- ry, had some of his drawings engraved by Ital- ans. As edition after edition of Stradanus' series rere issued by the Galle brothers of Antwerp, and eagerly bought up, the circle of his admirers in northern Europe grew ever wider; but there is no vidence that hia work in the picture-book line ver became very popular in Italy, the country of its adoption. There his celebrated Naples fres- oes, for Don Juan of Austria, and his equally ;ood designs for tapestry for the Medici Grand )uke. enjoyed far more popularity. Considering the Immense difficulties of trans­ portation which then still handicapped all Inter­ national and especially all transalpine intercom­ munication, it la rather curious that the formid­ able distance intervening between the city on the Caiiaert after ture of elephant-hunting its amusing details, such as the" long file of natives carrying off loads of dismembered elephant on their heads and shoulders, are curious enough. The picture of the bear-hunt is more true to life, though we may express some doubt whether horses could be got to charge bears in the way Stradanus pictures. Our last drawing repre­ sents the Florentine artist's ideas of heron-hawking It tells its tale fairly plainly, though, of course, the inci­ dents it represents are far too crowded together. It was considered the noblest of all hawking, and though it is not so long ago that more than two hundred heronries existed in the British Isles--some of them comprising as many as a hundred nests with four or five eggs In each--the sport is now extinct Mr. Harting tells us that in the last cen­ tury Mr. Edward C. New- come of Norfolk, who was the last English falconer who kept heron hawks (he died in 1871), killed In two Beasons with his two fa­ mous hawks. Sultan and De Ruyter, which he had im­ ported from Holland, no fewer than one hundred and eleven herons. This shows that the royal sport became extinct in England not in consequence of any dearth of herons. In the Nether­ lands It is still kept up, though the celebrated Hawk­ ing club at the Loo. near Apeldoorn. which Mr. Newcome, assisted by the Duke of Leeds and Mr. Stuart Wortley, had formed in the year 1832, was dissolved the very year it had reached ita majority. ~ One detail in Stradanus' drawing deserves spe­ cial notice, L e., the turned-up heads of the two herons at which hawks are about to stop. It shows that the artist fully believed the legend, sanctioned even by such late writers as Walter Scott, that the heron when hard pressed and stooped at by the hawk will point his beak up­ wards and thus receive the descending enemy upon Its point, thereby inflicting serious injury, if not killing him outright According to modern experts this pretty story has no foundation In fact. It seems extraordinary that for centuries artists went on painting incidents which they never could have seen, scores, If not hundreds, of pictures of what was onoe a favorite and aristo­ cratic sport depicting this very occurrence. Btradanus' predilection for portly men and women, as well as for steeds of the cart-horse type, and for unwieldy fat spaniels and hounds, betray his Dutch origin, and perhaps also a bus-i nesslike desire to please his principal public In Forty-Fourth Annual Convention of Illinois Medical Association Cornea to a Close Chicago fucked for 1915. Springfield.--The forty-fourth annu­ al convention of the Illinois Eclectic Medical association came to a close in Peoria after Chicago had been select­ ed for the 1913 meeting. The meeting went on record as fa­ voring the teaching of sex hygiene In the public schools in the state of Illi­ nois. It also favored Increasing the entrance requirements for the medi­ cal courses to five years. At the final session of tho conven­ tion the annual election of officers was held. Former President W. E. Schus­ ter of Oregon refused to accept the re- nomlnRtlon for the position which he has held for several terms. The en­ tire executive board retired from of­ fice. The following officers were elect­ ed : Dr. William Kinnett, Peoria, pres­ ident; M. D. Brown, Dekalb, first vice- president; Dr. Charles Hulick, Mount Sterling, second vice-president; Dr. Flnley Ellingwood of Chicago, secre­ tary; Dr. George Hulick, East St Louis, treasurer; Dr. John P. Bennett, Chicago, corresponding secretary. Dr. J. Lambert of St Charles was chosen as delegate to the national convention at Washington on June IB to 17, 1912.

Bear-Hunting^--By Stradanus. < Arno and the harbor town on the North Sea did not interfere in a more discouraging manner be­ tween artist and engraver. For more than half a century that studio in Florence, of which Stradanus gives us in one of his "arts and crafts" series, caled the Nova Re- perta, a characteristic picture, sems to have .gone on supplying busy hands in distant Antwerp with material of the most heterogeneous kind. Salnti and devils, popes and emperors, holy legends and scenes from purgatory, wars and sieges, land bat­ tles and naval engagements, royal progresses and peasant fetes, hunting, fishing and fowling scenes galore, the horses of all nations, the crafts and trades of the civilized world, the discoveries of Columbus and Vespucci, scientific inventions of the day, the working of the silkworm and scores of other subjects of the most diverse nature, were one and all depicted with a realism and with a power of imagination that really amaze one. It ahowB what an extraordinary demand for Illus­ trations had suddenly sprung up In the second half of the sixteenth century among the nations of northern Europe, as they awoke from the intel­ lectual stupor that had enchained them during mediaeval times. STANLEY'S EXPLOITS No explorer before or since has approached the harvest that Henry M. Stanley reaped (says a writer in the New York Sun), and no man of let­ ters, soldiers, or scholar has had such a single lecture tour as Stanley's greatest. In something like ten big cities he received $2,000 for his first appearance. For the first night in another group of cities he received $1,000 and In still another group $500: Traveling in a special car upon which he lived in most places, and accompanied by four or five guests, he ended the tour with $64.- 000 clear of all expenses. For that first night In New York a charity paid Stanley's agent $5,000 and the receipts from the lecture were $14,763. On the other hand Alexander Graham Bell used to lecture for $25 a night in schoolhouses and the straggling Inventor was glad enough of the fee. Will Place Pkrftralt In Hall of Fame. The commission of the Illinois farm­ ers hall of fame has completed very eaclsfactcrry jHftangements for the in­ stallation of the name and portrait of the late Jonathan B. Turner into the hall of fame at University of Illinois The Installation will be made a lead­ ing feature of the commencement ex­ ercises. of the University of Illinois to be held on Wednesday, June 12. This is the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of the act of congress in do­ nating to the different states large grants of land as an endowment for the establishment and maintenance of agricultural colleges. The University of Illinois has very properly decided to take official notice of this semi-centennial anniversary of the passing of the land grant act and to co-operate with the commission of the Illinois farmers ball of fame in fittingly commemorating an event sec­ ond to none in farreachlng results in the way of advancing agricultural and industrial education thfouguwut iuw United States. The president of the university will deliver the commencement address upon the life and work of Jonathan B. Turner, the man to whom more than to any other one man we owe the plan finally Incorporated In the lahd grant act of 1862 and the inauguration and prosecution of the agitation which finally led to its passage. State Commission Visits Alton. Members of the Illinois state board of railroad and warehouse commis­ sioners vlBlted Alton and inspected the dtpot facilities at that place. Com­ plaints have been filed with the com­ mission by citizens of Alton that in­ adequate passenger depot facilities are maintained by the railroads entering the city.

WILLING WORKERS ON FARM •Mi Assist Tiller of Soil In .Msny Ways, Board Themselves and Ask No Pay. Among the willing workers which work for nothing and board them­ selves are the birds, which have of­ ten been called "the farmers' best friends." They assist the farmer in three distinct ways--as Insect eaters, -as consumers of weed seed and as -destroyers of large number of field mice, gophers and other rodents. En­ tomologists estimate that the destruc­ tion of agricultural products from in­ sects amounts to over $600,000,000 a year. What it might be were not such a vast army of birds engaged dally fmm itawn till riov-1r In *" uiftftiug if ai upon these various Insect pests can only be vaguely realised, says Farm and Home. Among the birds that eat insects are the fly catchers, warblers, swal­ lows and chimney swifts, which live exclusively on insects. Manr others. such as the blackbirds and several va­ rieties of hawkB, depend on insects for a large part of their food. The meadow lark has a large appetite for Insects and in the course of a season rids the meadows and pastures of countless pests that are Injurious to crops. Even the much-abused crow had a fondness for cutworms that al­ most equals his liking for corn. As seen eaters some birds are most tireless. To this group belong the large number of sparrows. Many other birds eat seeds: in fact, most birds eat both insects and seeds in varying amounts. A large number of birds feed on field mice, gophers, ground squirrels, moles, etc., chief of all ^ng hawks and owls. Their Only Use. "What's the matter with ynuf* "Got dyspepsia."

Coal mines all over the state are re­ suming the old working conditions un­ der the new agreement recently signed at the joint conference of operators and representatives of the miners. The miners in nearly every case are showing a willingness to work under the new agreement. At Penld and Gil­ lespie some disquiet is being caused, minor clauses of the agreement having proved unsatisfactory to the miners, who refuse to resume work until agree­ ment has been passed by a referen­ dum vote of the rank and file of miners. Miners to Vote on Wage Scale. The referendum vote on the pro­ posed new wage scale of the miners and the operators will be taken on May 7. that date having been decided upon by the officials of the Illinois United Mine Workers of America. Secretary-Treasurer Duncan McDonald sent out from the offices to every min­ er in the state explaining what has been accomplished at the Peoria meet­ ing of the miners and operators re­ garding the wage agreement. The various locals have ^een instructed to have the returns In may 10. Odd Fellows In iMg Initiation. Candidates for the first three de­ grees of the Odd Fellows from twen­ ty-four central Illinois cities and towns were initiated Into the order in the most important and largest induction ceremony ever held by Prairie State encampment. No. 16, at Springfield. Hundreds of Odd Fellows and grand officers of the order, attracted to Springfield by the event, were present when the work of Induction began. The three degrees conferred were the patriarchal, the golden rule and the royal purple. They were given to more than one hundred candidates. For six hours the ceremonials at­ tending the investment of candidates with the dignities of the organization occupied the attention of the gather­ ing. At the close of the work the en­ tire body marched through the down­ town streets to the Masonic Temple, where an elaborate banquet waa served. It was followed by brief talks by grand officers and officials of the local organisation. Cities represented by classes' of can- dldates were: Lincoln, Petersburg, Beardstown, Jacksonville, Decatur, Pan a, Glrard, Taylorville, Sherman, Wllllamsville, Dawson, Fancy Prairie, Mechanicsburg IIlipolls, Dlvernon, Auburn, .

The movement on the part of the Illinois Bankers' association to obtain a bank supervision bill designed to place all banks and trust companies under state supervision excepting n&» tional banks, gained impetus when B. F. Harris of Champaign, president of the association, appointed a commit­ tee of nine representative bankers to draft such a bill. Those made mem­ bers of the committee are: Charles G.

BOY PLUNGES INTO DEEP OPEN SEWE9 The Youngster Is Swept Out Iftii the Ocean, Where the Body Disappeared. COULD NOT BE SAVED Victim of-Tragedy Wss Doing Balanc­ ing Stunts on the Tops of the Pilinge When He Toppled Into the Water. New York.--By tumbling Into a street excavation opposite 313 East Seventy-first ntreet the other day, Wil­ liam Boherley, about four years of age, plunged into the uncovered sewer 12 feet below and waa swept out Into the East river, three blocks away, where the body sank and was whirled south with the tide. For a distance of almost fifty feet \ half score workmen saw the body carried In the thick, murky waters of the sewer and then vanish where the excavation ended, a hundred feet or so west of First avenue. The excavation is the width of the Bewer main and shored up with heavy planks on each side. The top was re­ moved for repairs and for a dlstanoe of 50 feet Is uncovered. The shoring planks rise above the street level la Irregular pilings for the purpose of fencing the excavation and preventing unwary pedestrians from tumbling In. But there are breaks here and them In the shoring and the boys that swarm the neighborhood have persist­ ed in wriggling through and walking along the edge of the excavation or doing balancing stunts on tho tops at the pilings. The victim of the tragedy was do- * lng one of these balancing stunta ' when he suddenly toppled over antf went headlong down into the rushing water below. " There were no workmen within twenty feet of where the boy splashed a KSrJBi® He Toppled Over. in, and there was no possibility at saving him. The tide in the sewer washes swiftly toward the river and the small body was borne along as If ; : it had been a chip. To those who J looked on and were unable to act tt seemed only a ihatter of seconds be- fore the boy's body vanished. Several workmen and a troop of ? ® boys sprinted down the street for the ' J M- East river, but It waa not likely that . they werit as fast as the body of the boy was whirled along. When they ^ $£ reached the pier that looks down on the mouth of the sewer they provided themselves with boat hooks and ropes "A and watched for about half an hour. They watched in vain. Later ex* i ' , periments were made by lOMinf-.^/ pieces of timber into the excavation and trying to keep pace with thel^ progress down the sewer, but the , fleetest runners among the boys lit . the district were unable to keep pace J with the progress of the rushing wa- ters. >-1?!

The grave was disturbed as the r» suit of a request made by Mrs. Mar­ garet Maninl, who before her death three days ago said she wanted th* remains of her husband placed In a small box--supposing they had re­ duced to ashes--and her own body laid to rest in his coffin with his ashsa at her side. When the grave was opened in th# presence of the five surviving chtV dren, an unexpected and surprisin# condition was found.
