One day after Worth died, in 1902, q man
came into Sheedy's hotel and hauled out
the painting.
Its from the old man. He wanted me
to see that you got it," said this man-one
Of Worlds old ganE-to Sheedy.
The story was that this picture was part
Of the loot taken from a South American
monastery. Sheedy brought the picture
here and u few months later sailed for South
America to look for the monastery, as he
announced.
When he got back Sheedy said that he
had visited every monastery in South
America trying to find the owner Of his
painting, but without success. He kept the
picture in his room at the Sturtevant House
for a while, and then came the report that
he had sold it to Condor.
Sheedy is reported to be in London now
waiting for his latest find to be retouched.
It's a great find, and l expect to land it
in some American museum, probably in
New York he was quoted as saying in an
interview over there.

stolen years ago, just like the famous Gains
borough which Sheedy recovered from
Adam Worth.
Good" said Pat, when he heard Of this
new one.
He sought Raiauli somewhere out in the
sands, introduced himself and began nego-
tiations to get the picture. Haisuli gave
it to him finally, for a sum unnamed, and
didn't kidnap Sheedy to get the picture
back again after he got Sheedy's money.
Shee1y says that he has Ralsulis assur-
ance that it's a genuine, and it isn't often
that one art connoiseur deceiyes another.
Sheedy hasn't related the history OF the
painting, but he probably will on his return,
as he is a delightful raconteNr, particularly
when it comes to paintings no has met.
He may also start on a hunt for the monas'
terry from which it was stolen.
Murillo's painting, "The Magdalen,'
which Sheedy got from Adam Worth as o
legacy, he was reported recently to have
sold to John Condor of Chicago for Sl5, 900.
Shcedy came into possession Of that picture
in u strange way, TOO.
Worth was very grateful to Sheedy for
the neat way he helped him to get rid OF
the Gainsborough after it had lain on hla
hands for twenty-five years, and after that
incident was closed Worth mentioned to
Sheedy that he had another picture even
| more valuable, which he meant to give him
some day. Up to the time Of the returno of the
Gainsborough Sheedy hadn't been particu.
larly interested in art, except that displayed
in the workmanship Of the round pieces
of ivory with which he was moro or less
familiar, but the Gainsborough had given
him an art appetite, 80 he told Worth that
he'd love to nave that Murillo.

Spoiled Fruits Worked Over.


Here is what a Chicago fruit packer
has to say of the food-renovating pro-
cess as it is conducted:
"Goods of all kinds are canned by
putting them into tins and then max
ing the tins alright. The cans are
then subjected to heat sufficient to kill
all the life germs inside. When the
heat subsidies the fruit or vegetable in
the can decreases in volume and a
vacuum is formed which tends to
contract the can.
eff, however, the heat should be in
sufficient to fulfill it's purpose, or if
there is small hole in the can, or if,
after year or SO the acids contained
in the preserved matter are strong
enough to eat through the tin at some
point-theh the goods spoil. They
become hopelessly infected and odor-
Gus, and unless neutralizing acid Or
chemicals are introduced (which, by
the way, do not destroy poisons),
there is no possibility of foisting the
cans on the public.
with regard to legitimate renovat-
ing, as it is carried on by reliable
houses, no vegetables or meats or fish
can be reprocessed. Only certain
fruits, such as plums, strawberries
and cherries, which are canned with
the seeds in, can be treated success
fully,
1.-The renovator bores two holes in
the end Of the can which is swelled
and heats it, forcing out the air and
gases. Then the can is resealed. Rem
ovated goods can always be detected
by the soldering over the two holes in
the end of the can. Sale of such
goods is principally to bakeries and
such places, where the fruits are used
in making pies, etc.
"Vegetables and meats when they
are spoiled are rotten, and nothing
can restore them.
Such "reprocessing' plants may
constitute a separate department of a
factory or be an independent institu-
tion that buys up all the spoiled foods
of we'll known houses and by the rem
ovation converts them into market
able foOds.-What to Eat.

During the Spanish war, while the
battleships were on blockade at San
t1ago, it was customary to load the
six FOUNDER guns every evening to
protect against possible torpedo boat
attack. While the triggers We're being
eased down one Of the guns on the
Massachusetts was accidentally dis
charged, the shot passing over the
quarter deck Of the Texas, which was
lying next in the blockading line. All
the officers Of the Texas were on deck
smoking and talking when the shot
passed a few feet above their heads.
Almost before it struck the water a
signal was started on the Texas from
it's commanding officer, Captain Jack
Phillips, to the commanding officer Of
the Massachusetts. The signal was,

Over the dinner table husband was

dealings of one Of their social ac-
quaintances, wealthy and popular
man. He had contrived the ruin Of a
certain company and it's subsequent
reorganization, process which had
put money into his pocket and taken
money from innocent stockholders.
The husband touched the facts light
~, because he thought that a woman
could not be interested in them or .un-
derstand them in detail. This WON
ans understanding throughout her lhps-
bands narrative was occupied with
one or two simple questions.
"Is he to be punished?" she asked.
Furnished? How? His conscience
won't punish him-indeed, he probably
thinks he has obeyed the rules Of bust
ness. The law technically is broad
enough to cover his case, but it is
hard to get evidence. You see, the

THE AMERICAN BISON.
Millions of Buffaloes Once Ranged
the Western Plains.

Millions of Buffaloes Once Ranged
the Western Plains
The early explorers who describe the
buffalo numbers do not give US any
thing more exact than superlative ex-
pressions, such as countless herds"
incredible numbers" ''teeming myr-
iads," ''the world one robe" etc. 1
have endeavored to get at more ex-
act idea Of their numbers.
The total area inhabited by the buff
falo was about 100000 square miles.
OF this the open plains were one-half.
According to the figures supplied me
by A. F. Potter Of the forest service,
the ranges of the Dakotas, Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colora-
do, Texas and Oklahoma "a total Of
about 100000 square miles, or half of
the plains) were, according to the CEN
sus Of 1900, carrying 24,O0O,OOO head
Of cattle and horses and about 6,OOO,-
900 head of sheep. This means that
when fully stocked they might sustain
a number Of buffalo at least equal to
the number of cattle and horses. The
buffalo had to divide their heritage
with numerous herds Of mustang, an
telope and wapiti. On the other hand,
a buffalo could find living where a
range animal would starve, many Of
the richest bottom lands are now fenc-
ed in, and we have taken no account
Of the 100000 sheep. Therefore we
are safe in placing at 100000 the
buffalo formerly living on the entire
plains area. ~
Their prairie range was a third as
large, but it was vastly more fertile
indeed, the stockmen reckon one prai-
RE acre equal to four acres on the
plains. Doubtless, therefore, the prai-
ries sustained nearly as many head as
the plains. We may safely set their
population at 30;0OQQoo. The forest
region was the lowest in the rate Of
population. For it's 100000 square
miles we should not allow more than
100000 buffalo. These figures would
make the primitive number Of buffalo
75,O00OOO. T., ~. = .-. -.
Many other. calculations based on
different data give similar or slightly
lower totals. From these facts it will
appear very safe to put the primitive
buffalo population at 100000 to CO.,
100000. - Ernest Thompson Seton in
Scribner's. -.

sDead0 Leaves Not Dead.

Leaves do not fall from the tree be-
cause they are dead" which we may
take as equivalent to saying because
they are no longer receiving the con-
stituents Of their being from the sap
and from the air, but as consequence
Of a process of growth which devel-
ops just at the junction of the leaf
stem with the more permanent por-
ton Of the tree, certain corklike cells
which have very little adhesion, so
that the leaf is very liable to be broken
away by influences Of wind and
