Waiting for Morgan.

The collection. which includes works by Raphael, Tittian, Correggio, Perugin. Holbein. Rembrandt. Rubens' Hogarth, and Michael Angelo, was the property of the late NJ. Felix RavaissonMollien, curator of the Louvre Museum. in Paris, and the authenticity of the pictures is vouch- ed for by his son, the present curator, and by many other experts. M. God efroy Holzach. the present owner of the collection, is now in London. Is not very anxious to have the paintings go to America but he will sell to MT. Morgan if no other buyer shows up. 'I am here to sell the pictures private ly" he said and, above all. should like to see them pass into the hands of municipal authorities. so that they might remain forever the property Of some ,town, and be placed in a fine gallery" The most valuable picture in the collection is The Holy Family" which has been pronounced by experts to be work in collaboration of A. Dur CT and Quentin Matsys. M Holzach values this picture, which measures twenty two inches by eighteen inches. at $20,000. A Corregg1o Of saint John The Baptist" is valued at about the same price. and beautiful sepia drawing of '"The Brazen Serpent" by Michael Angelo. at $2,000 The Raph- ael Gem" is a tiny picture of the Madonna with "a Goldfinch," which was painted in the year 14s0, when the artist was seventeen years old. It is valued at $lO,000. It measures four teen inches by ten.

Must Appear Decollete.

Rv the Kaisers order. all ladies at tending the Royal Opera House must anpear in decollete ms. as at con vent Garden. Wilhelm II is determined to have a brilliant audience at the opera, but his edict --as been feceiveu without enthusiasm by the Berlin society women. These are perhaps less like society women as known In New york and London, than the upper-class of any European capital; they are Ill fact too domesticated to be smart
 Their regulation costume for the opera is a dressy blouse and skirt, with an attractive hat They would never think of haring their shoulders except at a hall or a court ceremony. The Kaiser in is responsible for good deal or tne dowdiness of the women of Berlin. Auy attempt at brilliance meets with her disapproval and sh eis especiaily severe on any lady of the court who appear in a gown too decidedly de- collete. Another vanity her majesty abhors Is any advertising oneself Tn the papers. She will not have any or

The author of Man and Superman" has had his ast book published by the Times Book Club because their pub fishers in their struggles with the Times. refuse to supply his books. or any books. to the club at trade prices As there is great circulation for books through the club,~Mr Shaw de- cided 1t would be better business to go over to the Times side. In the preface to this book George Bernard Shaw gets in one of his digs at the critics who have accused him of getting his ideas from Ibsen. Schopenhauer and N.etzsche. He replies that he has de- rived them from Irish and Scottish writers and some of them out of his own head.

Graft in the Navy.


 Graft Is seldom heard of in connec- tion with the British navy. because 1t Is carefully concealed. but when dis closures are made the sensation is cx- traordinary. How the safety of the battleship King Edward VII was im- perilled by a contractor grating scheme Is revealed by an official report issued by the Committee of Public Ac- counts.
 The Ayrshire Foundry Company made rudde- casting for the vessel containing a large flaw. which they concealed by electric welding. This was discovered by the naval authori- ties. who complained to the contrae- tors. The latter replaced the faulty casting with another, which was also full of flaws. In the end a third cast ing had to be made at the naval dock yard. the foundry company being charged with the cost.
 This business the committee de- scribes as "a piece of gross and de- Hberate deception" and they ask why was no action taken to punish the con- tractors. The grafters. however, were punished in another way, for besides losing all admiralty contracts, most Of their general business fell away. and they became bankrupt

One of the wealthiest and bluest- blooded of German aristocrats Is now a mong in the Dominican monastery at Venlo, a haunt of ancient peace near the Dutch frontier. This is Prince Carl von towenstein- -wertheim- -Rochefort' who has renounced the vanities Of the world for the holy calm of conventuai life.

William waiAerf Entertains.

William Waldorf Astor, having com
 pleted his great work of restoring
 Hever Castle to its original state. as
 when Anne Boleyn lived there. has commenced to entertain house-parties.
 His guests recently have included
 the Marquis and Marchioness of
 Ladsdowne, Lord and Lady Caring
 ton. Lord and Lady Craven (nee Brad
 ley-Martin) the Knight of Kerry and
 Lady Fitzgerld. Lord Edward Pelham
 Clinton. and Captain and Mrs Spender-
 Clay (nee Astor).
 Hever Castle Is the most wonderful
 example in England of ancient archi-
 lecture restored. One thousand men
 were employed for four years to re-
 produce the appearance of the place as 1t was iH the early sixteenth cen tury. Mir. Astor has had the work done so cleverly that even the new masonry looks ancient. There Is good deal of new work about, includ- ing bridge across the stream. which
 has been diverted from its course and a wall surrounding the grounds, but
 1t all looks as if 1t had not been touched for centUries. To add to the medieval aspect of the place, a Tudor village" has been built
 outside the Castle walls. the quaint timbered cottages forming annexes to the main building, and used as bil- Hard rooms. extra guest chambers etc.
 As there were nS automobiles in
 Anne iBoieyn's day, they are forbidden to approach Hever Castle to spoil tho Illusion, and naturally a garage is not
 among the Improvements. Until all was ready to receive guests. MT. Astor would allow only his intimate friends to inspect the Castle; and he was even more strict on keep ing tourists away than he was at Clieveden.

HAECKEL ON
 EVOLUTION Discusses Problem of
 Man. SUPPORTS DARWIN THEORY Says Humans Should Be Proud of Simian Ancestry. x Should Make Them More Thoughtful of Advantage Which Ages Have Brought And More Hopeful
 of Future.
WALTER DUNKIRK.

Berlin, July 13 -(SpeciaD-"The Problem of Man" was the subject of a lecture by the celebrated Professor Haeckel. of Jena University. who is a follower of Darwin. He had the plat form decorated with skeletons of men and apes from the University Museum. to illustrate his theory of the descent of man.
 "Darwin';e said Professor Haeckel, "was the man who established for all time the morpholoGical relationship of men and apes. It is not to be under stood, however. by relationship that man has descended from some existing type of ape, but rather that he and the existing anthropoids have one common ancestor-perhaps in the remote Terti- ary period-that this ancestor was de- scended from c still more remote half ape" which in turn descended from some insect eating beast of mammal affinity.
 This line of descent is now accepted by scientists with greater certainty than any theory about the descent or the elephant or the whale. AS for the religious or philosophical conse- quences of such a theory. 1t Is im- material whether mans origin is found in the region of apes or that of any species order of mammalia: for example, the sheep, as Professor Virchow once sarcastically suggested. However our pride may rebel against this theory of descent, it remains fact that no rroun of animals approaches nearer to man than the apes.
 'Those who are opposed to this theory lay stress on mans consciousness o1 good and evil, his sympathtes, ms nobler feelings, and his genius; put although these objections have my en- tire sympathy there would be more in- telIectual pleasure among men on tnls suhiect. if they freed themselves from the blindinR Influence of traditional prejudices; and if they recognized Tn their lowly origin the best evidence of their brilliant faculties. and in tneir progressive past . reasonable grouno for belief that their future will lead them to still loftier heights"

Freaks in Jewelry.

Creepy" jewelry Is the relsnins fad with London women. In spite or her horror of the real thing; she Is not content without a realistic spider moth, caterpillar or other bug ature as brooch or pin. All kinos of jewellery are worn in the entomolos- teal line. Brooches like moths. lace pins like wasps, and caterpillars form ing the heads of hat-pins. Necklets are made like spiders webs of fine gold wire. with spider and fly attach ments. spider brooch and fly bangle are sometimes worn en suite with the web-necklet. The most daring of all the bug-jewelery is safety pin adorn- ed with a lifelike model of that repul- sive insect the cockroach. Women who wohld scream if live "black beetle came near them,wear its Jeweiled el- fgv to min their swellest frocks.
