We have Income used to eltvtrie
station wndiug forth tin power across
a continent or u oovati without any
otlu-r medium than the atmosphere, but
few of us are prepared to admit tluil
one Imnitui hrtilu U caahlo of affiviiua
ii.iiht-r tmuian bialu without uny oth
er ukmIuiiu than that of the irvlii
telegraph.
Nevertheless, (tier am iustttucfa of
silcli eouiiuutiicailou.
1 U'lleve that there Is a mental fore
not jet explained soleutiuVally that
cut l ies these roessiiitca, and I am K"t
to Rive the reusoii why I have arrived
at this conclusiou.
I am au artist Crow a child 1 have
(ceil adsorbed iu the beauties of u
Uire and their transmission to an
other form. As a boy I could make
these transformations so successfully
that my picture attracted the atten
tion of my friends. Nothing would do
but that I must be educated tor au
artist.
lint there was no tueaus for the pur
ms. A younger sister of mine had
lieen left a small legacy by her grand
mot lie r. My sister Kleauor wan her
uauie insisted on devoting this money
to my education. I decllucd to accept
it at lirst, but she Insisted that I would
t a successful artist, my pictures
would sell it good prices, aud I could
reny her. Thus encouraged, I con
sented aud entered au art school.
I'll fortunately my education took
from me the ability I had sbowu lu
freehand drawing. The technique re
quired for work that would puss the
critics was obnoxious to me. Never
theless, I persevered and mastered It.
ttut I never regained the ability I had
lossessed to hit off souiethiug that ill
dictated geuius.
I spent several years after bolug
irruduuted at tlie art school painting
pictures, which were uo better thau
hundreds of other artists could paint.
I regretted that I had accepted uiy sis
tor's Ion u. for 1 was scarcely able to
muke enough money to keep body and
soul together, to say uotlilng of paying
what 1 hud borrowed.
One winter I broke donu In health
and lu the spring was told I must
have chauge of scene and air to build
up my strength. Iu my weakened con
ditiou my debt to uiy sister got nu my
mind, aud I could out get It otf. Klea
uor begged uie to stop worrying abou:
it. but without suecetwi. I was sens
off to the seashore aud lodged lu a
tislierniau'a cottage.
One morning I was sitting on the
iorch of the cottage looking out ou the
ocean. The sun was j;lintl.ig the blue
waves which were rolling lu and break
ing on the beach. Some fishermen
were petting out their bout, gulls were
dyiu3 hither and thither oierhead, one
occasionally darting dnwu to pollute
U!m a tish. 1 was seized with a de
sire natural to an artist-to portray
this scene.
I had Dot been permitted to bring
my artist's tools with Die, so I could
not do as I wished. As I sat In my
comfortable wicker chair, fanned by a
balmy sea breeze. I bepan to work over
au imaginary cuiivas. laying dowu ou
it the view before uie. The picture
grew lu my mind as plainly as If I
were really putting It on liuv.is. I
worked without effort-or at least
seemed to do so and was conscious of
transferring the scene before me ess
aetly as It was without the Ins of any
of its subtle beauties.
Nevertheless there must have been a
severe mental effort, for tin soon as I
hud finished my Imaginary or menial
work I lost coiisclou.Huess aud kuev
untiling till liite In the afternoon, vvhe.i
I found m.VHelf in bed.
It was some time before I reined
sufficient strength to go home. When
I returned my sister told me that there
was no further uecessity for me to
worry about my debt to her. for it hu.l
been paid. I asked her who litid paid
it, and she said that I bad pniil It i.iv
self. Further lliuu tliut she would
give me uo information until I hud
fully recovered.
One day after I had got stronger I
went, uribeknowu to any one. to a room
at home that I had used for a studio
There was a desk lu it. and. going to
this desk without any definite oliject. I
noticed a pigeonhole that hud been
empty was now full of pupers. I took
them out nnJ found they were letters
thar hud accumulated during my IU
uess I opened one ami read It II win
from a dealer hi pictured asking me if
I had any of my work for sale He
bad a constant demand for it Aston
ished, I opened another anil another
They were all reiiicsls for my pictures.
While I was thus engaged my sister
came In. She seemed much put out
that I bad come upon the letters. But
the explanation must now come out,
and she gave It to me.
One morning while I was at the sea
shore she had come Into rny studio aud
something, she knew not what, had
prompted her to sit down liefore my
easel, take my Implement and begin
to sketch. She had no ability whatever
as an artist and was astonished to see
a marine view grow on the canvas
Nevertheless, when she had finished
she had no idea that she bad produced
a marvelous picture.
Iter production was admired, and, at
taching my name to it, she took it to a
dealer, who sold It for $i;.OUO I went
to see the painting, and what was my
uniMZi'iiicnf to see that It was the scene
I had mentally painted while at the
fisherman's cottage I had painted It
with the freehand excellence of my
youth, and yet it win a finished picture.
