Aceite de HigadO de BacalaO

Durante Ia presente escasez de

Bastante rfdiculo es en- verdad, por

rar que el petr6leo puede subStitair al

La gran reputation de que goza el
aceite de hfgado de baCdlao es debido
sus grandes propiedades nutritivas &
alimenticias. En- verdad, el aceite de

dicamento que Sc conoce en- Medicina
atin no Sc ha podido encontrar en- Ia
naturaleza otro alimento igual, y
anuneiar ell petr6leo como un substi-
tuto del aceite de hfgado de bacalao,
es atribuir al petroleo 6 parafina pro
piedades que no tiene. El petroleo
carece de la propiedad esencial de to-
do alimento, es decir, la de ser asirni-
liable. El petr6leo 6 parafina no sola-
mente no es una substantial asirnilable,
sino que cuando Sc toma interiormente
es expehdo en- su totalidad por las

Ages Of Married Couples.

curious correlation between the
ages of husband and wife appears to
have been established in the course Of
the recent investigation of the in
heritanee of physical qualities by Prof.
Karl Pearson. Prof. Pearson's results,
published in Biometrika, may be briefly
summarized: these data have shown
that there is a very definite correlation
between the degrees of longevity of hus-
band and wife. Things take place as IL
men destined to live to old age, marry
women of similar vitality, while short
lived men generally marry short-lived
women. There has been an unconscious
selection from the point of view of gem
eral vitality. This follows clearly from
the study of the age of decease of a great
number OF couples, taken from grave
yard inscriptions" The influence of
grief upon the longevity of the surviving
partner is not taken into account.

POTTERY AND PORCELAIN.
Russian Product Of Which Little Is
Seen Outside of Russia-samples
in This Country.

Fl
Very little is known in this country of
Russian pottery. In St Petersburg there
is a royal porcelain mandatory where
exceedingly. fine and artistic wareis pro-
duced, though it is almost impossible
to bring samples out of that country,
which accounts for it's great scarcity in
Europe and America, says the China,
Glass and Pottery Review The pottery
is a bold, semi-barbaric character, with
arabesque decorations, consisting of
heads of animals in relief, etc. The in
dustry is carried on rather sparingly,
and, aside from this royal porcelain
plant, there is but little attention given
to the production of ceramic wares.
In the Pennsylvania museum, of which
Edwin Atlee Barber is curator. can be
seen a case Of decorated Russian pot
terry, which was originally exhibited at
the centennial in 1876 This pottery is
Of buff or orange coIored clay, and the
decorations are in relief and highly
colored. The pieces are in the shape of
coffee pots, vases, plaques, ETC. An
other variety is decorated with conven-
tionalized animals painted in enameled
colors. There is also in this museum a
single piece of fine porcelain, artisticaI-
ly decorated, consisting of cup and
saucer, the product of one of the modern
Russian potteries.

Paris, Cologne, Moscow, Calais and st

acteristic Smell.


Some sensitive essayist should take
the smell of place as subject Paris, for
example, says the London Chronicle, is
lightly pervaded with the odor of burn
ing charcoal, and coming from Paris to
London one is newly assailed by the APP
peal of SCOT. Cologne has reputation,
long undeserved, for smells other than
that of it's famous water" and it has
been said that in years of old blind man
could find his way about Cologne by fol-
lowing his nose. Moscow has an odd
perfume of its own. Itsugegsts cranber-
ries of peculiar pungency. And it never
leaves the nose.
Garlic is the basic smell that greets
the stranger who lands at Calais. But
the most curious of the smells of place is
that of st. Petersburg The present
writer had often wondered what it was.
having detected it even between the
sheets of his bed at the most exorbitant
hotel. On his third visit he was driving
in a droshky from the station with a
fresh young English girl, who had never
been away from Kent before. Nov do
you smell anything?" he asked. Eyes, .
said the girl. "O1d boots.' That is the

WHAT PEOPLE ARE READING
Extraordinary Demand for Books
About Russia and Japan
Caused by the War.

At all the libraries the Russo Japanese
war has caused great demand for
books relating to the countries and the
peoples involved; and books that had
long lain uncalled for on the shelves are
now in constant circulation, says the
New York Sun.
At one branch of the New York pub
lie library, for example, ayvisitor who
wanted something about Russia, found
only two books in, and these the least de-
sirable, out Of a list of thirty-odd con-
tanned in this branch library's cata-
logue. Everything else about Russia
history, travels and romance, was out
including books that this visitor had
often seen in the library, apparently
never called for
The same is true as to the demand for
books on Japan.

DIED WITH MAKAROFF
Verestchagin Goes Down In
the Petropavlovsk.
GREAT ARTIST 4 GUEST ON BOARD
Cine of Els Celebrated War scenes
Depicted President Roosevelt
at the Battle of Sam

ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.--Vas-
sill Verestchagin, the celebrated Rus
sian painter, was Vice Admiral Maka-
roff's guest on the Peuopavlovsk on
Wednesday last, and it is reported that
he went down with the ship.
Verestchagin was well known in this
country, and especially in New York
and Washington, both of which cities
he had frequently visited Some years
ago he had a studio in New York and
had an exhibition and sale of his re-
markable pictures of the Russo-Tur
ish war which greatly impressed the
public.
In January, 1908, he again visited
New York and took studio and early
in February Of that year held second
exhibition sale of his pictures, this
time more varied in character, in the
Astor gallery of the Waldorf astoria.
The majority of the pictures and espe-
cially those depicting scenes in the
wars Of Russia were purchased at the
sale by Count Cassini for the Russian
government and were shipped to ST
Petersburg, where they now hang in
the National gallery.
Verestchagin, while strong drafts
man and gifted with a remarkable i'm
agination, was not colOrist. He be-
lieved he had mission-to make the
horrors of war so appalling to the peo-
| pie Of the civilized world through the
brush that they should aid the move
| ment for universal arbitration and it
is the irony of fate that he should have
/ himself succumbed TO the very horrors
he so strongly depicted.
Verestchagin was born In 1872 at
town in the government of Novgorod
and became pupil of Gerome at Paris.
4 In 1867 he was with Kaufman In the
Turcoman campaigns and exhibited at
Munich his first canyases depicting the
scenes he Witnessed. He visited India
in 1874 and three years later followed
I the Russian armies In the war with
Turkey.
Turning his attention to American
| subjects, he came to the United States
two years ago for the sole purpose OF
! depicting THE Battle of San JUAN at
| which he worked with zeal for months
4 1t attracte a multitude Of sightseers
subsequently being bought by Brook
lyn collector for $4,000. To execute
its "details faithfully Verestchagin Wis
i tied President Roosevelt, went to Cuba
to study the locality of the fight and
set up his studio at Fort Myer, neal
i the capital.
i His career was full of adventures
Il and hardships. In the Russo-TurkisE
war he sailed on torpedo boat which
sought to blow up a Turkish warshiT
and made the intimate acquaintance o.
Makaroff, then a daring young nava
officer on the Danube on that occasion
Verestchagin was severely wounded
and spent months in hospital, but moth
ing ever daunted him, and he was
eager to face fresh perils
At Samarcand, with Kuropatkin
though be was only an artist of thu
campaign, he seized the rifle Of thu
first Russian killed by the enemy ant
fought valorously with his country
men until the foe was beaten off, H
once led sally and was acclaimed tn
hero of the day, being subsequent.

Roosevelt,s Wildcat.

President Roosevelt recently pre-
scented to the Zoo at Washington a
large wildcat, which was sent him by
some unknown admirer in Georgia.
The animal was wild and fierce, and
his unexpected delivery at the whita
house created a small panic among the
servants, who feared that he would
escape from the box in which he was
shipped. The box was dumped on the
front porch at the white house, and
remained for some time before any
one could be found who would sign a
receipt for it. When the president
learned of the strange gift he hustled
the animal to the Zoo with his compH-
ments.
