What Treasure ls In England.

Treasure trove, according to the
authorities on English common law
that is, money, coin, gold and sill
yer plate or bullion--all belong to
the crown. Only gold and silver are
treasure, SO that if one finds antique
bronzes, an old Roman sword or Gel
tic battleax or any trifle of that ma
ture he may keep it without fear of
incurring the penalties attached to
concealment Of treasure. And such
penalties are still in existence. For
merly the punishment was no less
than death, now it is only fine and
imprisonment, although it may be
doubted whether any jury could be
found to convict of such an offense,
which, most people would confess to
be capable Of themselves commit
tine' should the occasion happily
arise. AL the Year Round.

TOLEDO BLADES.
They Are Still Made, but Are Much
Inferior to Ancient Work.


Toledo blades are still made in
the government weapon factory, but
those of modern production do not
compare with the ancient work. It
seems to be lost art. The genuine
Toledo blades, made by the AIoors,
were so elastic and tough that they
could be curled up like watch
spring. You can see them in the
armory at Madrid, but only ordinary
swords and bayonets for the army
are made there today. The secret
seems to have been forgotten. The
steel came from England. It is the
same as is used for ordinary pur-
poses, and, as in Japan, where the
art reached an equal degree of SUI
periority, the difference in the prod
uct lay in the skill of the armorer
and the process he used.
In the secondhand shops of Tole-
do and of the bric-a-brac dealers
you can buy old swords for reason
able prices, but genuine ones, made
before the sixteenth century, when
the best were produced and the art
began to decline, are very rare and
are promptly picked up by connois-
seurs whenever they are offered.
The names of the old makers are
as well known as those of the paint
ers Of great pictures, and a sword
made by Nicholas or Dune or Don
Islo or Correnties in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries is worth sew
eral times its weight in gold.
Each armorer of Toledo in an
cient times, as in Japan, had his
cipher, which is to be found on his
blades, and there was as much rival
ry among them as there is today
among the opera singers. Julian
del Rel, the most famous of the
Moorish sword makers, always cut
the figure Of a dog on the blades
of his swords near the hilt, and
Morrillo, who was also famous, used
wolf for his coat of arms. The
sword makers of Toledo had a guild
for mutual protection, but they
worked separately, Each had his
own secrets for refining and tenn
pering steel, which he concealed
from his rivals, but transmitted to
his children. who inherited the bust

manner indicated that she was
proud Of something she had done. I
inquired the reason for the unusual

BIDS, BUT BUYS NOT.
a Feature of All Big Picture Sales In
New York City.

a Feature of All Big Picture Sales In
New York City.
One feature of all the big picture
sales held in this city Is the obliging
man who starts the bidding. He
usually sits in the first or second
row in front of the auctioneer and,
to Judge by the variety Of the OPEN
ing bids, is remarkably good judge
of the market value of paintings,
be they water coiors or works in
oil. If the canvas put ON the easel
is not valuable o1e he will call out,
for example, twenty-five dollarsp
twenty-five dollars, he says" re-
peats the auctioneer. f'Twenty-fve
dollars for this fine work by Peter
Paul Jones'"
Then some one will break in with
q raise of $5, and the auctioneer's
tone changes from one of polite COM
miscration over the starters low
opening o one Of interest.
When the next canvas is put up,
if it is of a more desirable class, the
starter may say, Gone hundred dol
lars"
Gone hundred dollars" repeats
the auctioneer, and then, if no one
interrupts him with bid, he adds :
''Thank you, sir. One hundred dol
lars for this rare Delarome."
When the really desirable paint
ings are announced, however, the
starter takes rest. From the sides,
middle and rear of the auction room
comes volley of bids that causes
the auctioneer to lean on his desk
and say: "Go ON. I'll let you dc ny
work among yourselves" But he
doesn't, for when the first burst of
bidding stops he takes up the re-
frain of the last bid until he has
reached the end of the buyers esti-
nation of the worth of the painting.
The obliging starter must live in
a world of constant disappointment.
He is never known to get one of the
pictures he bids on. = New York

"Why not?" asked the professor.

Body Grows Shcrt.

what are the proportions Of the
ideal human body?" The vexed aues.
ton has never been answered conclu.
sively, Gays the Lcndon Leader.
A oorollsry Of it is this: "What
ere proportions Of che average healthy
man as we fnd them?" Not even to
this has reply been given.
A,wever we are approaching it..
Scientists have made myrisds Of
measurements Of the stature Of man,
and some of them are quoted by Fleet
Surgeon Williams in the annual re-
port on the health Of the navy, just
issued.
To begin with, the boy when born is
about half an inch taller than the
girl. This difference is maintained
till near the age Of 13, when, in this
country and America, the average girl
is taller and heavier than the boy.
This hating, SO to speak, on the part
of the male is speedily recovered, and
he again outruns the female in size.
At the period Of full development
the mans average height, compared
with the woman's average, is as 16 to
Is.
Both men and women maintain their
maximum height till the age Of so
years, when they begin to grow short
er, until at 80 they have lost three
inches.
The reason Tor this dwindling is at
tributed to the sinking Of the soft
parts between the bones and to the
stoop gradually acquired by old peo-
ple.
