Paris, Dec. 8. America has started
a new current of civilization In the
world, according to Guglielmo Fer
rero, the Roman historian. Prof. Fer
rero, in a lecture before the Soclete
des Conferences Etrangeres in Paris,
contrasted America and Europe and
declared that new standards of judg
ment must be formed if Europe is to
understand America at Its rue value.
i "We are accustomed," said he, "to
regard things solely In terms of
quality. We look upon the riches of
America, for instance, with a kind of
disdain. They are often regarded in
' Europe in the same light as the riches
of a barbarous people which, to ac
quire them, has forsaken man's supe-
; rior spiritual activities. It is not nec-
essary to spend much time in Amer
ica to see that Americans are very far
from being devoted solely to the pur
suit of wealth.
"1 have also heard it said that
' Americans are without taste for art;
that their cities are hideous. They
are pictured as paying large prices for
anything that is antique or passes as
such, without distinguishing the beau
! tiful and the authentic from the med
; iocre and the false. It is unjust to
j say that the American is indifferent to

beauty. Moreover, who would dare
to affirm that the progress of the arts,
letters and sciences is at this moment
the principal pre-occupation of the
old world ? Listen to what is said
about us. "We hear nothing but talk
of perfecting economic equipment, the
exploitation of iron and coal mines,
industrial development, and how to in
crease trade. If all this is American,
then Europe must bo undergoing
Americanization at an amazing rapid
pace."
The Modern Spirit.
M. Ferrero sees in this new spirit,
which has developed since the dis
covery of America, an immense his-
i torieal movement which threatens to
I overthrow the very foundations of the
J present civilization, it is founded on
the idea of progress, which, born at
j the end of the seventeenth or the be-
' ginning of the eighteenth century,
j now dominates our civilization.
"The idea of this progress Is as
, vague and indefinite in its meaning,"
j said JI. Ferrero, "as it is popular and
j powerful in action. But it is a strange
;, phenomena that just in this century
; f so-called progress everyone seems
to be complaining of the decadence of
thing:!. Are we progressing or are we
not? Can it be that this progress for
which we sacrifice our repose, our
tranquility and sometimes even our
lives, is only an illusion? This la the
supreme problem which presented It
self to me as the result of all I saw
and learned during my travels In
Nbrtii and South America.
"In former times quality was more
important than quantity. Wo have
now reversed the world in which our
ancestors lived, piling up riches has
become our aim. We have won lib
erty, destroyed almost all the limita
tions of the past, but we have had
in the process to abandon almost all
the ideals of artistic, moral or reli
gious perfection held In veneration
by our ancestors. Nowadays we must
everywhere sacrifice quality to quan
tity. "Thus there are two standards by
which we may judge civilization, the
standard of quantity and the standard
of quality. Ona Is typified by the
civilization of America and tho othei
by the past civilization of Europe.
Either, judged by the other's standard,
will appear deficient. You cannot re
proach a presidential candidate in the
United States who Is compelled to
make half a dozen speeches during
the day if his atylo Is not so polished
nor his phrases so nicely turned as
those of Cicero. Nor could you expect
such gems of oratory from Cicero If
he had been called upon to comply
jwith the same demands as are made
upon the modern orator."
A Futurist Ambition.
The "painting of sounds, noises and
smells" Is the latest ambition of the
moat advanced school of Paris futur
ist nrtists. Sounds, noises and smells,
they affirm, "are Incorporated In the
expressions of lines, volumes and col
ors are Incorporated In the architec
ture of musical work. From the point
of view of form there are sounds,
noihes and smells which are concave
or convex, triangular, ellipsoidal, ob
long, conical, spherical', spiralis, etc.
From the point of view of color they
are yellow, red, Indigo, sky-blue and
violet. In stations, factories, garages,
hangars and In fact throughout the
whole of the world of sport and me
chanlcs, the sounds are almost always
red. In cafes, restaurants or salons
they are sllverlsh, yellow and violet.
As for the sounds, noises and smells of
animals they are yel'.ow and blue of
women, green, sky-blue and Violet.
In order to be the latest kind of i
futurist you must use plenty of "reds,
screaming reds," and "greens," never
enough greens; yellows, never enogh
yellows, exploding yellows, saffron,
cooper and early morning yellows."
Hector Granet, an obscure scholar
living at Viverols, in the Auverne, con
ceived the idea of preserving in al
cohol the corpse of his dead father.
This eccentric act appears to have
supplied the touch which was neccs
sary to transform his obscurity into
prominence. M. Granet Is now the
celebrity of Viverols. It has since
been discovered that his studies are
worthy of some notice and the French
government has de'eorated him with
the Academic Palms. M. Granet also
has prepared a glass-roofed coffin
similar to that for . his father, which
is one day to receive his own body
for similar preservation.

MATTER OF CONJECTURE
Plnehurst, N. C, Dec. 8. A. A.
Stagg, director of physical culture and
athletics at Chicago university, last
right said that the possibility of Har
vard and Chicago meeting on the
gridiron next year still is a matter of
conjecture. The invitation recently
received from Harvard, Mr. Stagg
said, had been referred to President
Judson of Chicago university. He
added that President Judson probably
would call a meeting of the universi
ty's athletic board In the near future
to take action upon what he describ1
ed as Harvard's "challenge."
There were 5 schools and 150 pu
pils in the Brooklyn kindergartens
organized by Superintendent Wm. H.
Maxwell 15 yeas ago; now there are

Lyman H. Ilowc'ti Travel Festival.
No one can deny the advantages of
foreign travel In the enlightenment
of mind, and as Lyman H. Howe's
Travol Festival which cornea to the
Auditorium on next Wednesday even
ing Is the one attraction before the
American public which, pre-eminently
offers the advantages and pleasures of
travel without any of lis defects, dis
comforts or Inconveniences, Its Im
portance cannot be over-estimated. If
It were noteworthy for no other of Its
many merits this fact alone would
justify it great vogue and prestige.
In this respect It la playing a much
more Important role than any dram
atic attraction extant In the refine
ment and enlightenment of the mind
It Is fulfilling a mission that Is as far
reaching In Its scope as halls of learn
ing and culture. It serves to Increase
the sum total bf human wisdom to a
degree difficult to realise. When you
leave the theater after a two and
half hours' world tour with Howe,
you have derived more real satlsfac'
tlon, wholesome entertainment, and
beneficial knowledge than can he
gleaned from a score of dramatic or
musical offerings. Prices will be 25c,
30c and 50c. Tickets are selling at
