Miro. At one of the Museum of Modern Art's first exhibitions three years ago people stopped in front of a small black canvas entitled "Dog Barking at the Moon." On the right, in strange iridescent colors, was something that might be a dog. Above it was another shape that might be a moon. On the left there was definitely a ladder, shooting up into infinity. As a work of art it only annoyed most people. Yet last summer that same canvas, now the proud possession of an eminent Union Club member, Mr. Albert Eugene Gallatin, was listed...
...Shapley has advanced the idea that the sun, moon, and other planets all came to life at once from an eddy swirling in the gas that was the parent of the "Milky Way." According to that thesis, the whole solar system is made up of fragments of the gas-like matter ejected from that huge shining mass of material which later was condensed into those countless stars we view as our "Milky Way."

If not, the she-wolf and her cubs henceforth hunt alone. And according to Rudyard Kipling that is poor hunting indeed. Last week in Manhattan, like the mother-wolves of India...
...drinking of colored alcohol is being encouraged; not in the least. This moonshine, particularly as made in many of the Southern and Western States, is a genuine whiskey, with a character all its own. The type with which Castor and I are most familiar is the so-called "Leadville Moon," a subtle growth of the Rockies, dark in color, shimmering in the light of a candle with a glow almost not of this earth, giving a hint of powers unknown to the average mortal. Its taste is, to be sure, that of liquid fire; but it does not have burn...
