"FAkED" OLD MASTERS SOLD.
Many Spurious csnvasss Turned but
by London ewIndlsrs.

The manufacture Of "faked" pic
tures by old masters is not confined
to Paris. The great increase In the
value Of Romney, Gainsborough and
Lawrence portraits caused the pro-
ductlon of many spurious canvases.
and lately these masters" have been
put on the American and English mar
ket One copyist in London has at
tained astonishing accuracy In repro
ducing Romney's works. These fraud
ulent pictures are never exposed to
the test Of a sale at Christies. They
change hands privately, and most col
lectors are SO vain about their knowl-
edge that when they discover they
have been deceived they make no fuss.
especially as the dealers do not give
guaranty. Antiques are manufac-
tured on the biggest scale of all In
Nuremberg. where sham brasses Of
the sixteenth century, silver cups,
jewels. worries or whatever curios are
in special demand at any time are
turned out In profuslon. The art dis
played In these copies Is scarcely in
ferior to that In the original. II de-
celves the keenest and most knowing
collector. Baron 'Rothschild bought
here recently a silver bell supposed
to have come from the Hermitage pal
ace at st. Petersburg and reputed to
be famous work of Benevuto Gel
lini. Rothschild paid $4,000 for 1t,
but discovered afterward that two Of
his continental relatives had bought
similar bells about the same time.
Each Of the three contained onethird
of the genuine bell, which had been
broken up and the original pieces had
been worked In with the imitation.
The leading collectors are talking of
try for works of art in which the gen.
uine pedigree" of objects OF all kinds
shall be registered so that their his
tory may be traceable. But there
are many difficulties in the way of
such project. not the least being that
the dealers are dead set against 1t.

Science and Fact.

Senator William p. Frye Is an ar
dent lover of the sport of fishing.
Once, after his return from his sum-
mer outing. says the Saturday Even
ing Post. ne met the celebrated nat
uralist, Agassiz. Glowingly Senator
Frye described his experiences.
Among my triumphs," said he. was
the capture of speckled trout that
weighed fully eight pounds" DR..
Agassiz smiled. and said: Reserve
that for the credulous and convivial
circles of rod and reel celebrants, but
spare the feelings of a sober scient-
ist." This is not campaign whop-
per I'm telling; I weighed that trout
carefully, and 1t was an eight-pound-
er.' MY dear Mr.. Frye" remonstrat-
ed DR.. Agassiz, permit me to inform
you that the Salveinus fortinalis new
er attains the extraordinary weight of
eight pounds. The creature you
caught could not have been speck-
led trout, All the authorities on
ichthyology would disprove your
claim" "All can say to that" said
Senator Frye. 'fs that there are, then.
bigger fish in Maine than are dreamed
of in your science" The next season
he caught a speckled trout that
weighed nine pounds. He packed 1t
in ice, and sent 1t to DIR. Agassiz. A
few days later he received a telegram,
which read: THE science of a life
time kicked to death by fact. Agas-
siz.''

REVIEW OF TRADE.

OF Trade" says: Trade responded
promptly to better weather in many
sections of the country, notably activ-
ity appearing In seasonable lines Of

business is more active than IL was

Augmented stocks of coke and pig
iron fall TO result in sufficient steel
as yet, billets being in urgent request.
A rail mill has commenced work on
Dillets and other similar changes are
contemplated, which indicates the
pressure. as steel rails are made more
readily marketed than any other pro-
duct. Settlement of structural labor
troubles has renewed activity ON
bridges and buildings. which revives
interest In steel. Billets will be
brought from abroad at the earliest
possible date, but there is difficulty
III securing sales, as foreign produc-
ers are also holding large contracts.
Pig iron is still unsettled as to price,
with buyers placing contracts conserv-
atively. Failures this week were 166
