which he collected while in Florida The
collection IS now being arranged and
classified IL the division. Its most in

appears TO be found only in Polk coun-
ty, Fla. where DR.. Mearns was gath
ering specimens.
The collection OF rodents in the Ma

all the ladies in Washington. is rapidly
growing. Among the rats are several Of
the woods variety, which live entirely
among the trees. and feed on what they
find above or below ground People
strolling through the woods occasionally
see rat, and think IL is one OF the or
binary ceiling walkers which infest 50

BOGUS ART FOR THE
BARGAIN HUNTERS
Faxed Old Paintings Produced and
Sold.

PHILADELPHIA. March 24-The ar
rest Of number Of fake art dealers
in Paris, who have been unloading spu-
rious works OF art on gullibIe purchas-
ers from America. was no surprise TO
connoisseurs in this city. who have for
long time known Of this peruicious
practice. AS a matter Of fact. accord
ing TO well-known purchasers here, the
art Of taking copies of weII-known ar
lists is not confined 10 Paris and other
European art centers, but has become
quite BUSINESS in this country. and
there are many bargain hunters who
are willing 10 spend a couple of thou
sand dollars for spurious paintings In
order to exhibit in their galleries the
forged names Of artists whose genuine
works cannot be bought for FIVE times
the amount they pay for the spurious
productions
John C. Johnson whose judgment OF
works Of art IS second 10 none in this
country. and who has a magnificent col
lection Of the masters" was yesterday
shown the story of the arrest Of the fake
Paris dealers. OF course. Mr.. johnson
had already seen the article Speaking OF
the raid he expressed no surprise. as
he had known OF the existence Of the
fake establishments
These fakes are bought only by bar
gain hunters. said Mr.. Johnson. Works
Of art, OF course. have a standard value.
and those who get bitten are. as a rule.
those who expect TO get $4,000 or Sl5.-
600 paintings for 1900 or $1,000. OF
course, no true art conuoisseur will be
fooled by cheap limitations. They know
the value Of such works as those Of
Corot. Diaz. Daubigny, MISSIONER, and
others. and they know they cannot be
bought on bargain counters or in auc-
tion shops"
Continuing. Mr.. Johnson said: VERY
few art connoisseurs buy from the art
lists direct even. They purchase from
standard, relia-Ig houses. which guar
antee the works. and which make good
any mistake they may have made. OF
course, man who wants the genuine
article expects TO pay for il. Those as
q rule. who are imposed on are hunting
for bargains. and want pictures by ia
nous artists at prices ridicuiOusIy be-
low the standard values"
In conclusion. Mr.. Johnson said tina.
the fake" picture business IS not con-
fined TO the European centers. but is
largely conducted in this country.

According to Manager Ham. OF the

President Roosevelt has been mani

Recently he requested that special
