...this was recalled last week in London as Britain's big, slick Science Museum staged an exhibition called "One Hundred Years of Transatlantic Steam Navigation." By models and murals visitors were shown a century's changes from wood to iron and steel; from paddle wheel to screw, to multiple screws. Last paddle wheeler left the Atlantic in 1874, the first turbine arrived 20 years later. "Grandest failure" was the 18,914-ton Great Eastern, a five-funnel combined paddle and screw steamship, 680 feet long, built in 1858. Most vessels then carried about 400 passengers.

With its hydrocyanic gas, it can kill two humans at a time, quickly, efficiently, without any mess.

When he draws a nude model he shows that her feet are dirty and her face is a lamentable part of her body. When he paints down-&-outers in a hobo "jungle" he distorts them to get an effect equivalent to the ugliness he feels. In last week's show of 22 paintings were several in Evergood's vein of wild, clownish humor. Sunday in Astoria and Recreation, big canvasses composed in bright, crude colors...
