But  without  dwelling 

longer  on 
the  possible  details  of 
the  sculptor's 
parable  in  line  and  form,  the  broad 
interpretation  of  his  story  must  ap 
peal  to  every  intelligent  mind.  T he

the  powers 
attributed 
to  Apollo  by  the  ancient 
Greeks.  He  aids  the  husbandmen, 
his  presence  "is  a  prophesy,  he  pun 
ishes  at  times,  and,  when  he  shines 
forth  in  all  his  glory  on  a  beautiful 
spring  morning,  when  all  animate 
and  inanimate  nature  sings  aloud  to 
the  Great  Creator,  the  sun  is  indeed 
the  greatest  Master  of  music.

therefore  appear 

that 
his  basrelief,  apart  from 
its  purely 
aesthetic  beauty  and  interest,  has  a 
living  text  for  every  one  that  " h a th

Is  is  a  curious  comment  on  human 
nature  that  in  this  presidential  cam

the  untamed  west  and 
student  of  Cornell  and 
the*  Uni

in  common  between  these  two,  the 
ruffian  and  the  college  student,  that 
should  cause  them  under  the  same 
test  to  exhibit  an  identical  phenom 
enon  ?  As  affecting  the  votes  noth 
ing  could  be  more 
inanely  stupid, 
and  it  would  seem  that  while  the 
ruffian  might  fall  into  the  error  of 
supposing  that  ideas  can  be  over 
come  with  bludgeons  or  rotten  eggs, 
the  student  should  know  enough  at

A  very  interesting  talk  was  given 
by  Mr.  Gunson  on  "Glimpses 
in 
Botanic  Gardens  of  E u r o p e ."  He 
spoke  first,  of  the  great  K ew  gar 
dens  as  the  greatest  of  all  plant  col

lections, 
garden  and  170  acres  of  arboretum, 
of  the  magnificent  system  of  control 
and 
in 
the  arrangement  of  plants 
groups  representing  different  sec 
tions  of  country,  with  an  especially 
competent  person  in  charge  of  each. 
T he  garden  is  essentially  a  govern 
ment  affair,  the  educational 
feature 
being  almost  entirely  lacking. 

From  here  he  went 

to  Leiden 
then  to  Brussels,  Paris,  and  Belfast, 
giving  a  pleasing  description  of 
each.  T he  Dutch  gardens  hardly 
compare  with 
the  English.  T he 
French  were  very  formal  and  grand 
in  their  style,  seeming  to  enjoy  the 
roads  of  the  garden  more  than  the 
garden  itself.

said:  T he  Dutch 
is  not 
spoken  of  in  an  apologetical  way  by 
his  city  relatives  as  is  the  American 
farmer.  T he  saying  that  the  strength 
of  a  country  lies  in  the  cultivation 
of

of  rich  deposits  of 
the  North  Sea,

secret  of

success  of 
farmer  lies  in  his  ability  to  conserve 
the  fertility  of  his  soil.  He  has  only 
one  implement  on  wheels  and  this 
can  hardly  be called  a  wagon  though 
it  serves  the  purpose.  He  hauls  his 
crops  to  market  in  a  boat  which  he 
and  his  wife 
tow  along  the  canal, 
and  brings  back  a  load  of  manure  in 
the  same  manner.  All  operations 
of  the  farm  are  done  in  this  labori

paintings  in  his  house,  but  lives  on
