Achievements In Art.

Brian G. Hughes, whose practical jokes so often delight, said at a recent dinner: “I don’t mind practical jokes on human beings, but when it comes to animats I draw the line. - "Two artists were once bragging to each other. “ T painted up a lump of pig iron to look like cork.” said the first artist, ‘and, J>y Jove! when I threw it into the East river it floated.’ “Now" said Mr. Hughes, “there was no harm in that. But listen to the second artist. He said, with a cruel, unfeeling laugh: “I painted a lump of pig iron once to look like a roast of beef, and my dog ate three-quarters of it before he discovered his mistake.* ” —Ltm Angeles Times.
