Iftt Mathematics, bat a Matter of 1 Creative Imagination. ^The idea of business in a country tl^at has reached the height of its de velopment is a dry as dust affair," says Butchins Hapgood in Ainslee's. "It is the miserable system of keeping what one has, a system in which the temper ament and the imagination fb not play a part. The American, however, puts imagination into business. Business is the art of this country. To the Ameri can of affairs there are in his work ex citement, charm and color. To him it is not a matter of mathematics, but of the creative imagination. Great proc esses. great inventions, great corpora tions—the organization of such things requires genius.. "Nobody Is stupider, more avaricious and more economical in a small way than a French peasant or a German hausfrau. Nobody is less avaricious aid more economical in a big way. than a great American inventor, financier or business man. Through his brains production'becomes cheaper and conse quently more abundant, and more good to the common people thereby accrues than by all, the small savings ever made since civilization began. It is better to be able to make than to save, anfl to make much "a large outlay in money, energy and brains is necessary. To save pennies is a sign of commercial incompetence and national decline. "When an individual or a nation be gins a system of housekeeping on a small scale, it is a sign that the life blood is ebbing. Old people, drier and less resourceful than young people, are notoriously more economical. They, like old nations, want to hang on to what they have rather than strive for more. The wisdom of the French peasant consists in keeping down his expendi ture and the size of his family to a point where the nation as a whole is weakened. As Bacon said, 'He that hath a state to repair may not despise small things,' and perhaps the decay of the country is the cause rather than the effect of French economy. Anyway the two things hang closely together." A FAMOUS PAINTING. One Figure In a Japanese Picture Visible Only at Night. Some of the finest Japanese paint ings in Washington are in the legation building of that nation, the Japanese embassador being a collector and con noisseur of the art of his native land. The Japanese style of painting is alto gether. unlike that of Europe and America, and the reason Japanese painters are able to produce color ef fects that are the despair of Euro pean and American artists is owing to the "pigments they use, a large number of which are secret and unknown out side of Japan. In Japan' there is a very famous painting which no amount of money could buy and which is the master piece of a famous artist who lived several centuries ago. Viewing the painting ifi the daytime, one is disap pointed. It shows nothing more than a very commonplace landscape, unre lieved by mountains or hills. As soon, however, as night falls one begins to realize the peculiar merit of the pic ture, for upon the canvas there ap pears a luminous water buffalo (cari bou) browsing upon the grass at its feet. The artist who painted this picture discovered a certain phosphorescent paint, which he obtained from the bod ies of certain mollusks, or fish, and with which he painted the buffgJb that, invisible in daylight, is luminously brilliant In the dark. The secret of making t&s paint died with the artist. The picture, which hangs in a Bud dhist temple, has proved a fertile source of superstition, the priests claiming that the buffalo hides away in the shade behind some trees in the picture dur ing the heat of the day, coming out at night to graze.—Washington Posts Fish Tliat Bail Each Other. One of the queerest sharks is the thrasher, which has the upper lobe of its tail so much developed as to equal in length the body of the fish itself. This tail is controlled by powerful muscles and is used as a weapon. Swordfish and thrasher sharks have been seen on many occasions to attack whales in concert and kill them, the sharks lashing their victims with their tails while the swordfish pierce them from below. On the other hand, sharks themselves are often killed by por poises, which will surround a shark and lash the enemy to death with their flukes.' Nothing Too Good.
