Examine Your Rembrandt. 4"

''Who is Rembrandt" is the start
ling title of book by Max Lautner
which has lately appeared in Germany.
The author declares that a great part
of the paintings attributed to Rem
brandt are the work of Ferdinand Boil,
one of his pupils. This in itself is not
alarming. Similar statements have
been made before. Flincks, probably
even more than Boil, painted like Rem
brandt. But what made this particular
statement important is Mr.. Lautners
ability to prove it. BY means of a new
Photographic magnifying process of his
own invention he has discovered, he
says, on numerous works bearing the
name of Rembrandt traces of the name
of Ferdinand Boil scratched in the origi-
nal fresh paint and under the varnish
This is quite clear, he claims, in the
case of Joseph and Poiphar's Wife, "
bought by the Berlin museum at a
great price. BY means of his photo
graphic magnifying process he brings
out the traces of Bol's signature Ito
the left of the raised foot of Potiphar's
wife, on the pedestal of the seat on
which she reposes." 1t might pay
American collectors to make up purse
to induce Mr.. Lautner to cross the At
lantic with his wonderful false sigma
ture detector. Amateur.

The Telephone Has Made Them Stout.

The Telephone Has Made Them Stout.
The telephone is more used in Homo
lulu than any other place. There are
two rival companies in the island, and
the rates are SO cut that every soda
water stand has its telephone, and the
marketing is all done over the wire.
Even railway trains are started by tele-
phone, and men use their legs as little
as possible, now that the facilities for
verbal intercourse enable them to avoid
to a considerable extent the inconven-
fences of a hot climate.
An English electrical engineer who
has been engaged in making a series of
surveys in the island says that the in
PRODUCTION of the telephone has had a
somewhat ludicrous sequel. The ladies,
who were wont to do their marketing
with more energy than could be looked
for in such a warm climate, now stay
at home and send their orders by tele-
phone, and the business men to great
extent follow suit. The consequence
is that there is a marked accession of
avoirdupois among the better classes of
the community, male and female.
This phenomenon, which is vouched
for as fact, can be easily understood
when the cessation of accustomed ex-
ercise is taken into consideration

HOW CROWS CATCH CRABS.
watching Patiently for These Delicate
SheIIIiSh for NTaaI

ShelIIish for a Meal.
Fishermen in Havre de Grace at the
mouth OF the Susquehanna river, tell
amusing stories of the way crows catch
crabs and prepare them for eating.
When the crows first come in the spring
they visit the streams connecting bay
and ponds every morning looking for
crabs. They commonly arrive before
crabs begin running, but the crows ex-
hibit great patience, sometimes waiting
ten or fifteen days
The crows scan the stream from small
tree tops or mounds of sand. Others
stand on the banks of the rivulet with
heads cooked sidewise and an eye star
ing at the water When the crabs be-
gin running the crows dive into the
water from any coign of vantage near
by, clutch the crab, soar into the air
and drop their prey with great precis-
ion on the stone covered beach which
fringes the bay. BY this means the
crabs are reduced to pulp, and the
crows, with much wing Tapping and
discordant cawing, voraciously bolt the
meat
Captain Tom Carroll, of Chinco-
league, says he once saw five crows
teasing a crab. One of the birds caught
and carried it to a big dry sandbar.
There it was put down. The crows
cawing brought five of his tribe. They
pulled it about, turned it upon its
back and fumed over it. These gym
nastics were accompanied by hoarse
chattering and a gurgling sound, which
Carroll AYERS was laughter To vary
the sport they would make believe to
fly away, but dropped softly to the
sand forty or fifty feet off.
From that point the dusky quartet
of practical iofgrs kept their eyes in
tently fixed on the crab rolling along in
the direction of the water, a hundred
yards away. The crows, without a
sound, craned their necks watching
their hard shell victim Hopping labori-
ously through the soft, dry sand. Sud
denly they broke into a wild chorus of
caws and made after the crab. One
picked it up and scared away to the
beach, followed by his fellows. There
he was dropped to death and the crows
flew away to their roost. New York

As health is the principle of bliss, it is not
only an imperative duty, but a welcome
privilege for every man and woman to main

most dangerous omissions in this connection
is to neglect a tendency to constipation. The

STEM OF WINTER TOMATOES.
crop. Plants started Nov. 10 were trans
planted into 4-inch pots Dec. 8, and
from these pots into permanent quarters
Feb. %. The first fruits were picked
May 6. and May l2 the first market pick
ing was obtained June they were in
full bearing
From a summary of the report Of ex-
perinents made at Ihe station, in fore
ing tomatoes. the following items are
CLEANED:
The tomato can be forced for winter
bearing to advantage, but it demands
close and constant attention. A tomato
house should be very light, warm. and
the roof should be at least five feet above
the beds or benches. An abundance of
sunlight is essential. The temperature
should be about GO dogs. to Gj degs. at
night and 20 dogs. to so degs. during the
day, or higher in full sunshine. House
tomatoes demand rich soil and liberal
supply of fertilizers.
Tomatoes like brisk bottom heat.
Eighteen inch-square boxes, placed
about foot apart and containing four
plants to the box. afford one of the neat
est and bestlneans of growing tomatoes
Winter tomatoes must be trained. From
one to three stems, depending upon the
distance apart of the plants, are allowed
to grow from each plant. These are
trained upon perpendicular or ascending
cords. The plants must be pruned as
fast as new shoots appear. The heaviest
clusters should be supported.
Water may be used more freely early
in the growth of the plant than later.
Wet the soil thoroughly at each water
ing rather than water often. In mid
winter the flowers should be pollinated
by hand. This may be done by knock
ing the pollen from the flowers when the
atmosphere is dry and catching it in a
spoon or other receptacle, into which the
stigma is thrust.
Lorillard, Ignotum, Volunteer, Ithaca,
Golden Queen and Beauty have been
found to be good winter tomatoes.
