The intense cold OF yesterday and to-day is fast

that Of the boats, must exceed $4,000. No lives

The Rival Holbern l1ndonnas.

We believe it is admitted on all hands
that the Darmstadt picture was painted
first. Holbein lived ten years in Basle,
betweenl515 and 1926; the Burgomaster
Meyer and his family who kneel around
the Madonna were of that city, and the
original drawings for the portraits are
still preserved within the Museum. We
believe it is now conceded that the Darn
stadt picture was emphatically painted
by Holbein, with little or no assistance
from pupils. Certainly, when compared
with its rival, the execution is found to
possess singular evenness and unity. The
Darmstadt picture, then, being the origin
al, the question is, How did the Dresden
replica come into existence? In default
of positive evidence, several conjectures,
wearing more or less probability, have
been put forth. Thus DR.. Waagen ven

ed in Boston. He said in substance, that
the difficulty in tbe case was to believe
the story the men told. The witness
Bruce. who had been reading q novel Of
great power, goes to sea and finds mas
ter carrying out the details Of the plot Of
that story-speaking with the mate about
getting the boats ready before there IS
any leak; aferward whispering with the
mate; the mate carrying an auger below
and staying there long time; the leak
increasing; the same thing repeated twice
more and the vessel abandoned; q protest
read so low that the crew could not hear
it. All these things are point by point CO
incident with those Of the striking book
of fiction which the witness had been
reading. The improbability that he
should happen to find the truth following
so closely on the earlier fiction Is very
great. On this being pointed out to him
he came in the next day and said that she
master was in the habit Of reading the
same story during the voyage, and hat
he had often seen the book lying on the
poop. The Judge thought this was if pos
sible, more unlikely than the other state
ment, because such an act on the masters
part would be equivalent to leaving 4
printed confession in plain sight Of his
crew.-BostOn Herald

REMARKABLE CASE OF SMULAuoN.-
The case of the ship White Swallow, the
trial of which was lately completed in the
United States District Court, presented
various remarkable features. The ship,
as has been before stated, was on voy-
age to Hongkong and was abandoned off
Fayal in June last. In September the
first and second mates, steward, sailmaker
and two of the crew, joined in libel
against the owners, claiming pay in sums
from four hundred to six hundred dollars
each on the ground that the master had
destroyed the ship by boring holes in her.
The case was lost to the complainants
simply because their story could not be
believed, and a chief reason why it appear
ed incredible was the similarity of the &C
count to that told by Charles Reade in his
novel of "Foul Play" In the course of
the trial the mate swore that he saw four
holes bored in the run of the ship by the
captain. The sailmaker, (Bruce) the sec
ond mate and steward testified that they
saw the water rushing in through the side
of the ship and charged the master with
the crime, and that he agreed to pay them
two hundred dollars each. The mate and
Bruce gave their dispositions and were
cross-examined at great length. The mate
produced chart with marks upon it show
ing the voyage, which he said was made
by the master and himself on board the
ship. The witnesses were called upon to
describe the parts of the vessel in which
they said the holes were bored, and their
description differed SO materially from that
of the builder of the vessel and those who
loaded her that it was pretty clear they
had never seen them.
Judge Lowell decided that he was sat.

SoUNDIxGs IN THE BALTIc.-During the
past summer a German vessel has been
employed III taking a series Of careful
soundings in the Baltic, cruising in differ
ent directions with view to ascertain tbs
depth, currents and other phenomena Ct
that peculiar sea. The greatest depth,
728 feet, is between Gothland and Win
dau, fronPwhich it appears that the ssa Is
not so deep by $50 feet as was believed
from former soundings. Between 600 feet
and the bottom the water was extremely
cold even in July; no sign of vegetation
was brought up by the dredge, and no Iiv-
ing thing except few worms. Plants
are most abundant in the first sixty feet
below the surface, and animals are numer-
Gus down TO three hundred feet Below
that depth the cold probably checks the
existence of fresh water species, while the
small quantity of salt in the water is fatal
TO the life of marine animals. Generally
speaking, it may be said that the western
half of the Baltic contains abundant lite
and vegetation, while the eastern half Is
barren. We understand that q full &C
count of this exploration, with the seien-
tifc results, the force, extent and direction
of currents, the proportion Of fresh, salt
and braekish water, and lists Of animals
and plants, is to be published. Self water
is poured in an under-curreat from the
North Sea, while brackish water flows
out as surface-current.

POIsoNoUs PAPER-A gentleman who
has had fourteen years experience on the
matter regarding which he now directs
the attention of the public, makes the aP-
palling statement not only that (as has
long been generally known green paper

tions which may for years evolve poison
Gus particles, but that arsenic is used not
only in papers containing green, but fre-
quently, and even in large quantities, IN
paper of all colors, even in some that are
nearly white. As his authority he quotes
an eminent analytical chemist, late leetuE-
er on chemistry at St. Bartholomew Hos
pital, to whom he sent papers Of various
colors, such as dark brown, buff, white,
bIue and several delicate shades Of grey,
drab and mauve, and from the symptoms
to which they apparently gave rise were
suspected of containing this metal The
results of analysis were, that in every IN
stance, the papers which were taken from
bedroom walls contained arsenic, and
clearly indicate that it is impossible for
any one, professional or otherwise, p
judge by the eye whether paper contassP
arsenic or not, or whether much or i Z
The indications of poisoning caused Iy

were clear in every case. After fourteen
years suffering with few intervals) from
arsenical poisoning from this source, the
writer (whose scientific position and pow
er as an observer is vouched for by the
editor of the British Medical Journal,
who publishes the paPer has given up
having paper on his walls, and the atEos-
phere of his rooms, he says, is far Purer
than formerly. If distemper or oil-paint
be substituted for paper, care must be
taken in the selection of the pigments,
many of which also contain arsenic and
have proved very injurious.
