Few painters have had more re markable experiences than Carl Haag, the veteran water color artist, who has Just celebrated his ninetieth birth day. Making orinetal subjects his Bpecial "line," he has traveled all over the east in pursuit of local color and raw material, sometimes running no inconsiderable risk In doing so. This was particularly the case dur ing his travels In Palestine, when even the firman which he possessed, from the sultan, permitting him to make sketches ol the holy places, hardly availed to protect him at times from native superstition and fanati cism. Mr. Haag even penetrated into the temple area at Jerusalem, where a Christian usually^, ventures only at the peril of his life. The pasha In charge of Mr. Haag was, however, a man of resource, and secured hls° protection by giving it out that he had been, ordered by the sultan to make draw ings of the mosque, and, further, that those' who did not wish to be Included^ In the picture must keep out of sight, with the result that Mr. Haag was left quite unmolested by the superstitious Moslems.
