SEIDI n Emest Thompson Seton, Chief S6out of the Boy Scouts of. America who re cently returned from a visit to the Boy Scoutha of Great Britain, has written a leter to the Boya of the United States. He praises the boya of America and says that the American boys are in many ways superior to the British Scouts. He writes that the American boys are specially skilled-^n all matters pertaining out, while the English boys are better disciplined. Mr. Seton suggests that a troop of the finest boy scouts of America be sent to England soon to show the American attainments'In scouting and that a British troop be sent over here. This queation la now being considered by the executive board, and should such an exchange of international courtesies be decided upon, much care will be taken in selecting the troop to go to England. The following is Mr. Seton's letter; Qos Cob, Conn.. April 6, 1911. To the Boy Scouts: "Last week I returned to this land of sunshine after spending a couple of months in our motherland. One of my objects in going there was to compare notes with the British Scouts. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the chief gave a luncheon to enable the American visitor to meet those who were active in British scouting and we had many important ideas and experiments to exchange. Their chief trouble is much the same as ours, namely, the scarcity of good scount masters. But our American scouts are ahead in many ways is well as in numbers. I found, for example, that our boys -are far more skilful in everything that pertains to camping out. This is doubtless a matter of climate and opportunity. I found, on the other hand, that the English boys w’ere better disciplined. "Another thing that struck me was that the American boys seemed to have greater lung power than the English lads. The English boys do not give their yells with the same enthusiasm and power that the Ameri can boys do. I like especially this ex pression of enthusiasm' among the American boys. ‘it is proposed that we send one of our finest troops over there in the near future to demonstrate our meth ods, and our cousins will be invited to send one of theirs over here. Such an interchange of visits would doubt less be of immense advantage to both organizations. ‘•Faithfully yours.

Smith today in all its Chicago, Til., April 17.—For all the elements that combine to make an ir rigation or drainage project complete -engineers, money, settlers, machin ery, the necessaries of life; practi cally everything in fact aside from the land and the water—there is r.o other source of supply in the United States which can compare with Clii- cau;o. Chicago, centrally located is log ically ihe distributing center for everything pertaining to irrigation and farm land development in three directions at 'east, and with its fi nancial and various other facilities, the city is naturally the great clear ing house for all tlie en-jrmo’is in terests invohed. North, West, and South, and East to uo small extent. With these facts apparent at first glance to the most ordinary observer, i1 is generally conceded that the Queen City of the Lalves—with two and ono-hi.ilf millions «,f people of her own and with ten tinier as many more within the scope of a ten- hour journey on a railway—is of such importance as a nstion center that the National Irrigation Con gress is especially fortunate to be her guest this year. That the nine teenth session of the congress, which a^e to be held in December, will constitute the greatest gather ing of tlie kind ever witnessed in this country is no unfounded boast based merely on preliminary enthusi asm. The congress already has been made a part of throbbing Chicago be cause of the interest shown in the work by the Chicago board of con trol of close to 100 of the city’s fore most business and professional men, and the congress year will necessarily be big in exact proportion to Chi cago’s customary “I will” manner of These are some of the more po tent contentions of Chicago business men in their ' predictions corirerning the success that will mark the work of the irrigation congress in Chicago this year. Chicago is the one Amer ican center and source of distribution me St logically adequate to the enorm ity of the development movement as a whole and the city is natur^illy the most advantageous host this year for the consrress and for the exhibits of farm products, which are to be repeated here this fall.

In September, 1896, he returned to America, his native land, and estab lished his studio in a New England city, where for some time he painted principally portraits and landscapes Acting under ttfe influence of some friends, he turned his attention to re ligious subjects, and, among others commenced painting a full length figure of Christ, his object being to produce an ideal portrait of Christ-man. . At first he did not succeed in at taining his ideal: and the canvas stood a source of trouble and vexa- tio'n to him seen in the dark, and that Christ ap peared to be w'alking in pale moon-, light, while above and behind could be seen a cross. His first impression was that the moon was shining through an open window upon the picture, and that the cross was a shadow. He soon discovered that a strange phenomenon liad taken place. As he had no't thought of a cross in connection with this picture, and had used only well known pigments, he soon realized that the strange quality of his pic ture w'as beyond his power to ex plain. He was so profouivdly impress ed that he refused to finish it, and the picture remains unflirfshed to this day. The picture was purchased by a Washington -^Ivysician iind taken to the Capitol City, where it was shown to many scfentific gentlemen, who acknowledged the inability to explain the strange phenomenon. A well known establishment'"^ on Market street, in Philadelphia, heard of the picture, in October, 1899, and sent their representatives to see it, and secured it for a public exhibi tion, and during the four weeks of the exhibition one 'hundred and fifty thousand people viewed the picture, all being impressed with the mys tery that surrounds it. The second exhibition was given in Washington, the present home of the painting, April 19, till June 16, 1900, where it created a sensation among the clergy and scientific men, many sermons being preached upon the strange pictux'e, and chemists de claring that there is nothing known to chemistry that will cause the won derful amount of luminosity that em anates from this pititure. The third exhibition was given in Ashl>urj% N. J., where it met with a great reception and was called the “Great Silent Sermon.” The Rev. Dr. Schofield preached upon it before a great audience in the auditorium in Ocean Grove. The exhibition closed Saturday, September 8, lasting ten weeks. At the Irish village, in Cormack’s chapel at the World’s fair, St. Louis, it was shown to more people than any other single exhibit at the fair. The picture .will be on exhibition in fhis city for only today and to morrow.
