COLLECTORS DUpED.
Americans swindIed by European
Picture Dealers Who Handle
Bogus Products.

Gerome, the celebrated artist. who
is now engaged on life-size figures to
decorates Charles NJ. Schwab's palace
in New York, repeats in effect what the
Chicago Inter Ocean correspondent
at Paris recently cabled in regard to
the shameful way in which American
art collectors are swindled in Europe
he says:
"Haf the pictures bought by Amer
leans are either copies or forgeries. 1t
is time to put an end to such frauds as
that by which blank canvases bear
ing the dates of 1880 or 1s4S are sold
at the prices of masterpieces, to deal
ers who produce and sell as genuine
what are only limitations of the
masters of those periods"
This observation was made in talk
ing, about the lately discovered tam
pering with one of his most celebrated
pictures, ia Promenade de la Cour
Dams Les Jardins de Versailles" (the
promenade of the court in the gardens
OF Versailles). The picture has been
sequestered, pending the decision of
the law courts.

MICROBE OF HYDROpHOBIA.
The Germ of the Dread Disease Has
Been Discovered and Fully
Analysed.

Prof. Sormani, of the University of
Payia, has given to the Chicago Chron-
icle correspondent the following
statement in regard to the significance
Of his discovery of the hydrophobia mi
| crobe:
This discovery fills a great gap in
| modern science, for heretofore we
have been totally ignorant of the mi
crobe of hydrophobia. The researches
of other psychologists have resulted
in descriptions by various authorities
of this microbe, butnone had been able
to embody in one and the same whole
the various details discovered
"The rabies microbe being poly
morpheus OK many formed, the dscov-
erers of the various forms did not asso-
ciate them in one biological connection.
Then the study of all the different
forms required an enormous amount
of time, research and the best appli-
ances. all of which ] have been able TO
give them.
The microbe itself is extraordinar-
lily small, being visible only when en-
larged from 1000 to 1900 diameters
and observation is only possible at 1000
to 5000 diameters.
"The discovery of the microbe will
remove all obscurity in the Pasteur
methods, rabies antitoxin being pro-
durable from scientifically propagated
microbes instead of from the issues
OF diseased animals, the purity of
which is uncertain.
ut completes Pasteur's discovery
and supplies a certain cure for rabies
when properly applied. The microbe
was obtained from the salivary glands
and nerve tissues of rabid animals.

changing its shape. These changes

follow definite laws. Sometimes II is

the president, asks that the chief ex-
eeutive twill please stoop so low as
to allow me to present. you this cane
as New Years gift"
How long Atkinson was engaged IN
carving the cane is not known, but
probably many months. He sends
along the knife with which he did
the work, an ordinary knife that
would cost about IS cents. On the
cane, which is rather large one. are
1903 images. Twelve of the images
are of persons, and number OF
them are good likenesses.
These images begin at the top of
the cane, and include George Wash
ington, President Roosevelt, Queen
Victoria, Mrs. Ida Mckinley, widow
of the late president, and Christ on
the cross.
There are Is fowls, three dogs and
six houses on the cane. The other
images include butterfly. honey bee,

D0NIZETTrS SKULL FOUND.
Missing era nium of the italian co--
poser Has Been Used as a Recep-
tacle for Ink-Drying Powder.

A story is going the rounds at Rome
that 1t has just leaked out how the
head of Donizetti, the great composer
of music, was found after his death.
Donizetti died in 1s4s, when northern
Italy was disturbed by the anti-Aus-
trian movement under Charles Albert.
The day the doctors were making an
autopsy stray bullet flew into the
room and the doctors fed. A servant
buried the body later without the
head, which he could not find. In 1850.
when the body was dug up, there was
much talk because the head was miss
ing. Some medical authorities de-
scribed the head so exactly that rich
resident of the town recognized
Donizetti's skull in the skull he had
on his writing table to hold drying
powder for ink. He gave /, to the au-
thorities, and 1t was fornd to III the
skeleton body.
