As hie puts it, " was reading 'The Metamorphoses of Qvidl,' and 1 got so mixed up over the genealogy of the different characters, 1 got inad.and came downstairs about.I a. mu. to .the library to, make somne notes,~" *Since thatnight hie has gone on delv- ing steadily, into records of. ail sorts, transl ating Lat in and Greek wvorks. on Greek mytholQgy from, the original, and making littie charts to show the v'arious lunes of, descent. Last year ,hle produced his »t.agnuim ops, a 9x3-foot chart on canvas which shows'the family trees.of somne2,500 Greek gods. Sigm Painter Eatkuiîastic Ain amusing item about this chart is that Mr. Barthell- had a, sign painter paint. in thé lettering after he had -arranged the names, -and this sign paint- er who.had neyer spent a day in school, became so enthusiastic about bis job that, he can't wait'until Mr. Bartheli hands hini a similar task. Evidently 'making up geneplogica1 charts for the gods i s like building boeuses. No home-builder is ever satis- fied with the first bouse, lie can always think of improvements. Just so with Mr. Bartheli. This great chart lie pro- duced so painstakingly doesn't reaily satisfy himi. One branch was forgotten at the last minute and a marginal nota- tion hiad to be made, and there are other imrperfections which aninoy bum. How soon hie will go at the task of revision hie doesni't know.
