Tanagra Figurines In the Boston Mu-
scum Are Base limitations
The discovery that twenty-five Of the
twenty eight Tanagra fgurines in the
Boston art museum are forgeries has
attracted much attention from artists
and art critics. largely because the Bos-
ton figurines were the best specimens
of the peculiar Tanagra potteries In this
country and have been widely copied.

The collection has been valued at $780,
600 and was given to the museum In
1879 by Thomas Appleton, whose au-
thority on art subjects was so great
that the genuineness Of his gift was
never questioned. 1t Is not believed
that Mr.. Appleton knew that the fig
urlnes were forgeries. as the museum

who are now known to have faxed the
Appleton pieces
The first intimation that the Boston
fgurines were forgeries was the state
ment OF John Marshall. an English au-
thority, that he believed them to be
spurious. Later Greek shopkeeper
from New York told the museum au-
thorities that the figurines were part
of lot made In Athens In 1874. and
that he knew the maker. He produced
proof that fifteen OF the men engaged
In the manufacture OF the fictitious fig
ures were now In prison for the offense.
Curator Robinson OF the museum, after
hearing the Greeks story. recognized the
man named as the principal maker OF
the forgeries as one known to him for
similar work in other lines. The man
is now dead. To the credit OF the mu-
scum authorities. they at once decided
on an Investigation OF the figurines

Among the startling prophecies con.
cerning human developments in the
twentieth century are one by President
Pritchett, of the Boston Institute of
Technology, and another by Sir Robert
Glffen, the eminent English statsti.
clan. According to the first-named
scholar the population Of the United
States will be increased to nearly o.
100000 In 1910; in 1850 to, over 100000
600. He does not estimate 1t for the
year 2000, but at the rate of growth
which his estimate for 1850 assumes
namely, 15O per cent for the fifty years
beginning with 1900-the American
people one hundred years hence will
number 475,O0O,OO0. Sir Robert Giffen
says that the populations of Europe and
OF European orlgin-in which he in
cludes the United States and all other
countries settled by descendants Of
European stock-have increased from
170,000000 in 1900 to 500,00O,0O0 in
1900. And he predicts that at the end
of the coming century (2000) the 50O,-
100000 will have become 800, 0,0O0O 900
or more. 1t Is not conceivable that the
twentieth century will be more warlike
and destructive of human life than the
nineteenth, which has been more
crowded with wars than any previous
century of the Christian era. There
fore, the threefold increase of the popu-
lations of Europe and of countries of
European origin and sympathetic civil
lzation which has occurred in the pres
ent century Is not unreasonably antlcl-
pated in the next. Meantime. the vel
low and black races are not increasing
at all. Time and tide fight on the side
OF ''the noble Caucasian" But try to
think OF the American people OF A. d.

Perhaps the woman was deaf, perhaps
she was only in hurry. At any rate
she kept on and Kridor saw that she
would probably be struck by the train.
He had already complied with the
strict requirements of his duty, but he
was not yet satisfied. He rushed for

back out of the danger which threat
ened her. She resisted and in an in

if he had risked and lost his life in

field. He had given all he had to give

1S99-190O found the magnetic south pole
and reached the highest southern lati-
tude so far, 78 degrees 80 minutes; at 16O
degrees west longitude, where Ross in
1912 found land which is probably con-
tinental mass; at ITO degrees west longi-
tude Cook, 1774); at 80 degrees west

1S9S-1S99 drifted beyond II degrees 30
minutes south latitude; at 80 degrees
west longitude, where Weddell penetrat-
ed to "a degrees 30 minutes south lati-
tude, and finally at 10 degrees west longi-
tude (Ross, 1843). The enormous extent
of the unknown south polar region can
best be illustrated if its limits are trans
ferred to map of the north polar region.
1t will then be found that the boundary
would include Norway, Siberia and North
America down to Go degrees north lati-
tude, taking in the entire northern half Of
Alaska.
Thibet Still Mystery.
For the completion of the map Of the
Asiatic continent the researches of the
nineteenth century have established new
and exact bases, yet there are still small
er and larger regions which are entirely
unknown. Much remains to be done in
Thibet, despite the successes Of Russian,
English and French travellers and Indian
surveyors. This is particularly the case
OF the land north of the route of Main
Singh QS74-1S75), south of the Kwenlun
and west of the route of the journey of
De Rhins in 1898. North of the Kwen-
lun and of the routes of Prschewalski
and Hedin, stretching to the Tarulo,
are extensive unknown deserts. The
eastern half of the Himalayas is known
only in incomplete outlines. The highest
peaks Of the earth in this region have
been measured by trigonometry from the
fats Of the Ganges river, but their bases
nor their tops have not been reached.
Unknown in the sense Of modern re-
search is also the territory east of Blu
tan across the Tsangpo. Bramaputra, and
the Yang-tse- Kiang. In the southern
part of Arabia is the so-called vacant
quarter" as will be seen from glance
at the map, an area more than twice the
extent Of the German Empire.

ticularly active, and what Is known Of

result of work in the nineteenth century.
But there is still much darkness in regard
to this continent and the classic ques-
tion Quid novi ex Africa? will probably
he repeated for many years A territory
little known is between the Niger in the
south, the chain of oasis Of the Tidikelt
in the north, the route of LEM in thaA
west, and the routes of Barth and DNNx;
veyriers in the east Much remains to be
done in the Congo State Here the
courses Of the larger rivers have been
surveyed, but the vast territory between
the water courses is unknown. Hard
work for courageous travellers also is re-
quired to explore the region Of the
sources of the Congo and the adjoining
part of British central Africa, Portuguese
west Africa and British east AfriS-. The
south of Madagascar is also unknown.
1t may be surprising to many people
that explorers have a wide range OF work
in North America, yet glance at the
black spots on the chart will show this
to be the fact. Researches in the far
Northwest and in Alaska, caused by the
gold finds, only begin to show how much
remains to be done here, despite the en-
ergy with which the government of the
United States and of Canada push sur
veys year after year. Much territory
in Labrador and in the regions between
the great rivers and lakes Of the North
is also still unexplored.
Much in South America.
A glance at the chart of South America
shows that this part of the western hemi-
sphere is almost as unknown as Dark

peaks in Bolivia, and the central noun

Even the unoffending dressmaker's s
dummy has fallen under the ban of the
reformer, and may possibly give place
to models with normal waists. Oddly
enough, the most notable exponent of
tight lacing In this century was not a
woman, but Nicholas l. of Russia. TO
attain that military style which he
deemed essential, he laced so tightly
that he often tainted when ungirthing

that the bedpost corset-girl is out OF

Many people will be surprised to
learn that the United States has had no
national forestry laws of special signiti-
canoe until within the last three years.
AS early as 1917 an attempt was made
In this direction. This act was amend
ed in 1920 to authorize the Secretary
Of the Navy, under the direction of the
President of the United States, to re-
serve such public lands as produce the
live oak and red cedar woods for the
purpose of supplying the navy with
timber for its use. Penalties We're also
provided in this act for the unauthor-
lied cutting or removing of timber
from the lands thus reserved, or from
any other public lands of the United
States. Other acts were passed in 1922,
1927 and 1881, but no national policy
of forestry was outlined in any of these
measures. Carl Schurz, as Secretary OF
the Interior in President Hayes Cab
met, in 1877, strongly urged national
administration of the public forests and
prepared a bill to that effect, which
however, failed of passage. There was
no further forest protection afforded
until 1891, when Secretary Noble Sc
cured the insertion of brief clause tC
the appropriation bill authorizing for
est reservations. The National Acad
emy Of Sciences next took up the fight
and Secretary Hoke Smith, in Presi
dent Cleveland's admin stration, made
an attempt to carry out system OF
forest reservation on large scale
Finally, by act Of Congress, June 4
1897, the present forestry law was en-
acted, which is but little more thar
an expansion Of that recommended by
Secretary Schurz in 1877.
