Treatment of the Scene at the Tomb. It was many years before painters took brush in hand to paint the resurrection. The horrors of that time, told by eyewit nesses and descending mouth to mouth through the generations, were enough to falter the brush. The early painters were intensely re ligious and firm believers not only in the reality of the scenes they painted, but also in the holiness of them. The sorrows of the Christ saddened them; bis joys were the only themes they could paint. They were depressed by the legends for much came , down in purely -legendary rorm until the Bible was printed on printing presses and became general and with true artistic instinct they avoided that which was disagreeable and sought that which was lovely. And that is the reason why so . few early paintings . of the resurrection have come down to us, while the paintings of the beautiful Ma donna and of the Christ child are the most numerous in art. Surreto and Rossini are the first paint ers who ventured to touch the stirring scene. Even they robbed it of its tragedy and took it along to the spot where the risen Lord is seen ascending in wonderful robes to heaven. Neither sent forth great painting. Surreto was unfortunate in his face of the Christ and his work perished in a fire in Rome, when only the most valuable paintings could he removed and that of poor Surreto was left to burn. Rossini did still poorer. One of the fa mous family that afterward left its mark upon art of another nature, he painted "The Resurrection" in too matter of fact a way. Nothing was left to the imagina tion, and the angel at the sepulcher looked sadly out of place in the midst of the devastation of the disorderly tomb which Rossini had painted, there. Their work brought forth lots of criti cism and stirred on other painters to try. A series of pictures of the resurrection followed, and for a few years it looked as though there would be nothing else in sacred art; even the Madonna was neg lected for the great theme of Christ risen from the dead. As interpreted by the artists of that day the scene was one that gave the wid est latitude for dreamy thought. The tomb, a picturesque thing in architecture of that day, gave the background; then came the graceful women to it; then the marvelous sky work, in which the figure of the Lord was visible. In the hundreds of pictures that were turned out previous to the fifteenth cen turonly a few remain, but after that the painters were more fortunate and gave us works of art that are enduring. Crack ed, scarred, often defaced and haying gone through vandalism and vicissitudes, they are still marvelously beautiful, in a beauty not so much the beauty of form as beauty of conception. The old masters understood that which we call composition. They were not so anxious to get strong effects; they wanted a whole, a picture, a something that would tell a story. Take any of the old paintings and study it and you will ob serve this peculiarity. An entire story is told in the picture and not one person or part Is made more prominent than the rest; it is as a whole that the old masters must be viewed. . With the modern masters it is all differ ent. They sought beauty. Reading the Scriptures they formed a conception, and from that they painted. Only beauty ap pealed to them, and they placed upon the canvas only beauty. We have today nothing lovelier in art than the pictures of the resurrection, as turned out by the hands of the modern painters, and, looking at them, one be gins to worship, even one who has never worshiped before. The old masters sought this result; the modern found it. The greatest difficulty in painting the resurrection lay in the work of painting the face of Christ. Each had his concep tion of the ideal head, but few agreed in this ideal. You see heads of Christ in the earlier days with long, curling beard and features too strong for beauty. Then you see him" in another type, blond, softly lovely, almost like a woman. To paint the face of the Saviour was the most dif- crcrlii ivm the m&o a, uuvliut oiio. tudti- ern, ever set for themselves. The most successful compromised matters by indi cating a face strong in a manly beauty and not too pronounced in type. That in terpretation succeeded, and faces df Christ, those that have survived, now generally show tha style. The faces of the women were easier to paint, being mortal. The face of a wom an was enough, provided she were beau tiful, and so nearly all were successful in their women's-faces. 1 - - .-r - The stranerest thing to be noticed in the pictures of the resurrection is -the lights- that carious light which bathes the scene. AH horo .nnA that tha roonn-HHnTi tnnt plac at an hour when the. light was un-, certain and changing and that from, the depths of the tomb came a'wonderful ray that is not equaled by the discoveries of science u - N-i The 'pictures - of the' resurrectidn5 at counted today are not -so' numerous but 1 in 'interest they equal tthosei provoked' by any pther theme, secular or aivine.

THE RESOURCES OF CHI STAT The Revenues Available frnm all Sources Will Not Allow Her to I'ay the Indemnity Unless Assistance Is Rendered. Pekin, May 2. At a meeting of th Ministers yesterday the report of th indemnity committee was read. Re garding the resources of China the re port was very voluminous. It was prac tically a repetition of Jameson's well known pamphlet upon the subject Sir Robert Hart offered suggestions simi lar to those already credited to him. It is claimed that the revenues from all available sources will not allow China to pay the indemnity unless assistance is rendered. The next meeting will be held next Tuesday. The subject of Count Von Walder see's letter will then be taken up and a reply to it will then be drafted. Tha Ministers personally aoject to the tons of the letter. They claim that they know what they want without being told. They particularly object to any of the legation guards being under any authority except that of the Ministers themselves. Washington, May 2. It is believed here that the hitch which is said to have arisen at Pekin over the propo-r fition to increase the Chinese customs duties to meet the indemnities demand ed by the foreign powers is caused, by the broaching by Mr. Rockhill or his . plan for the abolition, of the Likin du ties as a condition for Ms acquiescence in the customs fncrease.
