fact that ii contained the proof OF
Mrs. Surratt's innocence, which proof
had been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
commission. When General Bingham
made a movement as though he would
repel such an accusation, Butler dra-
matically drew "a memorandum book

aloft but did not utter word. Bing

FORGING ANTIQUITIES.
Even Experts Triclsed In Distin-
gushing Real From the Spurious.

Dr. Oliver Tonks in txe Outlook Mag
azine shows the difficulties OF distin-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here is one of his anecdotes.
At times the forger is content 10 take
ancient fragments OF ancient vases or
statuettes and complete them with clay
or plaster of paris. These new odd"
wares he then paints up and passes 10
the unsuspecting. and sometimes sus-
pecting. purchaser as real antiques.
The story is told of forger in Athens
that he protested that when he had fin-
ished Improving an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances Ii
may not be wondered that at times
even experts are tricked.
The following incident shows how
forgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: One hot day party of us were
toiling up steep ascent in the island
Of Melos when we saw above us a
number of Greeks seated on a parapet
Of ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the I,gcan islands TO
know that these people of the place had
seen our ship drop anchor i'm the water
below and were now waiting 10 sell US
antiquities At the sight Of these
Greeks one of our number, tireless
Scotchwoman scrambled ahead OF us
TO the top. where we could soon see
her, wind blown and outlined against
the blue sky, bargaining for a vase.
When we reached the top after a more
leisurely climb she put her purchase in
my hands and asked me what | thought
Of IT, My hands We're moist with per-
SEPARATION from the eXertion of the climb,
and for answer 10 her question ! held
them out TO her all ba.kcned from
grasping the vase. The sweat had at
tackled the modern paint with which it
was covered, and by thus coming Off
on my hands the color had betrayed its
falsity. The whole vase had been
patched up from six or seven pieces
and then painted over to conceal tie
repairing.

Very Sharp Eyes.
Here is a problem for people with
sharp eyes: AS we all know, horse
when walking or trotting advances
only one leg of each pair at time, but
when galloping lifts both forefeet to-
gether and then both hind feet. Now,
the question is how other animals man
age this matter. The birds, Of course,
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings "trot" when we walk and gal
lop" when VIC swim-that is, if we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, "trots" for both. Now, do
the amphibous animals-the seals, OF
tiers and the rest-swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side TO side, they would flap
alternately with the fins, which are
