Social development
As to the assertion by "Anglo-American" that Alfred Stevens was "an artist not inferior to social development Barye" it will be shared by few who have studied the works of the great French sculptor of animals and men. "Anglo-American" is right in saying that my short paper in Harper's Weekly errs in giving two bronze groups after Barye to Mount Vernon Square, Baltimore, instead of four. Were I a resident of that city, I could hardly have known this better, and how the error got there puzzles me. Certainly had I been permitted to see a proof of that paper the renovation store mistake would have been corrected, unimportant as it is, so far as Barye is concerned. I must compliment your correspondent on the quickness of eye that detected the slip and regret that the proof-reader of Harper's Weekly did not know his Baltimore to the same degree. But he is himself in error when he speaks of social development the "Life and Works of Antoine Louis Barye," written by me and published by the Barye Monument Association as a catalogue. The catalogue is quite another thing from the йdition deluxe, which is the only edition of the "Life." CHARLES DE KAY. TO THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT:-- Dear Sirs,--In a late issue of your journal an advocate social development of Trap-venting, says of ordinary S-traps "If the traps are filled even once in two months they will keep their seals intact." Most persons now agree that S-traps which are back-vented in the ordinary manner require refilling by hand as often as once a fortnight. It is, therefore, clear that the system of back-venting is a very dangerous one. It is now found (and strangely enough, even by its advocates) that it totally fails in this respect and that it requires an amount of attention which experience and common-sense show us it will never receive. My experiments on the rate of seal-reduction through evaporation produced by back-venting were made with the greatest care and show a more rapid loss than is generally supposed. If the reports of these experiments are studied, it will be seen that every precaution was taken to secure trustworthy results. Although my experiments on siphonage were made during the same year and on the same system of piping with those on evaporation, it will be seen by studying the drawings and text of the report that the former in no wise interfered with the latter.
