TOLSTOI IS WRITING
STORY FOR CHILDREN
Says He Expects to Teach Llts'e

CT PETERSBURG. Aug. 1o.-Count
Leo Tolstoi has now completely recov-
cred from his recent illness, ana mas
resumed work on book Tor chiiureh'
antitIed "The Reading Circle
In an interview with newspaper cor
resnondent the count said: II am teach
ins the children, and at the same time
am learning myself to write truthfully
and simply" He said he had completed
several works which he did not wish
n,,bIished until after his death, the near
annroach of which, he observed, must
make it impossible for him to bring all
his many plans to fruition.
Countess Tolstoi is engaged on her
autobiography-a work which her hus-
hand is following with the deepest in
terest 1t is understood, however, that
it will not be published during her life
time.
The count was recently questioned re-
garding the doctrines advanced by him
in some of his earlier writings, and ex-
pressed great regret that in his political
works his expressions should have been
so harsh Such an aggressive tone,
he said, docs not establish peace amonS
men. but only increases existing irrita-

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-Wiliam LIE Queux

jugal rights.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Who said "Too old
at forty?
Sydney Talbot is not too old at 9s.
Until a few weeks ago he was in active
work as an engineer on board the deep
sea tug Ulin.
Then a Slight indisposition," as he
terms tit was a touch of paralysis
compelled him to go into the Seamen's s
bert docks. He is recovering rapidly,
however and expects to return to his
work in a few days.
He confidently anticipates living an
other six or seven years. and bases his
expectations on the following family rec
ord:
Father died at 106
Mother died at 105.
Sister died at 102
A Herald man visited Talbot in the
hospital. Above his bed hung the usual
card. bearing his name and age and par
ticulars of his illness. But Talbot was
not in bed. He was walking briskly, with
the aid of a stick, about the ward, crack
ing jokes.
His cheeks are fairly full and rosy,
with little of the parchment texture and
hue generally associated with extreme
old age Although his hair and beard are
white he is not much bent. He stood up
right and flung out his arms with sur
prising quickness as he playtully pre-
tended to box.
''I was born in Brooklyn in the United
States, on May l, 1SO9," he said, "and l
came to England when l was p and had
studied for seven years in an engineering
college in my native place. 1 knew Eng
land was the country where I should get
on as a sailor, and went to Southampton
as a qualified engineer and draughts-
man.
"Since then I have served many mas
ters. always as a marine engineer. 1
have worked on P. and Q. and White
Star ships among others. I was one of
the crew that went round the world with
Lord Brassey in the Sunbeam. l have
also worked for Thornycrofts, and 1 put
in two years quite by accident, because
1 did not know whati1 was going toy on
a French smuggler in the Mediterranean.
'I have been on the tug Ulin for few
years, and it was when we last came up
to London that l was taken Ill. l have
earned as much as 910 a week in my
time. and on the Ulin I was getting e5.
-Four times / have been wrecked, two
of the occasions being off the Cape of
Good Hope, where one of my ships was
burned. Another time our ship foundered
in the Red Sea and eleven of us were
castaways in a ships boat for five days.
We nearly went mad with thirst, and
when at last passing vessel picked us
up one of my mates made a frantic rush
for the water tanks and dranA himself
to death.
1T have always been temperate In
drinking and smoking. A pint and half
of ale a day is my allowance, and get
almost as much as that in the hospital.
Shag on shore and ships aboard is my
tobacco rule. 1 never had an illness In
my life until this one, but 1 am feeling
almost we'll now and when get out on
the sea again and get myself nicely
soaked 1 am sure shall be all right.
'I hope to go down to Dover in few
days and begin work again on the Ulin."

PARIS. Aug 9,-His majesty, Chula-
longkorn, king of Siam, is delighted with
his portrait by NJ CaroIus Duran. which
has just been hung in the salon Of the
Societe Nationale, and will remain there
till the exhibition closes. The picture Is

against a background of old gold plush.
His dress is white but the embroideries
on the collar belt and sleeves are of
gold His sword has a golden hilt and
scabbard, his helmet is white and gold.
His right hand holds a golden scepter,
his breast is one mass of orders, mostly
of gold. and is crossed by golden sash.
Over his shoulders hangs a cloak of
cloth Of gold studded with diamonds and
pearlsl 1t can easily be imagined how
painter like NJ. Carolus Duran reveled
in this magnificence, and how gorgeously
his brush has rendered such a riot of
gold

GERMAN POLICIES LOT
AIMED AGAINST FRANCE
Prince BueIow Grants Interview to
Figaro, In Which He Expresses
Qualification at Existing
Relations

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Aug. 10.-Prince Buelow has
permitted himself to be interviewed on
German policy by M. Jules Huret, the
special correspondent of the Figaro.
The imperial chancellor, commenting
on the recent apparent good feeling be-
tween France and Germany, said he was
delighted to see so many Frenchmen at
the Kiel regatta. An Improvement In
relations had begun, but infinite tact
and patience were needed II an under
standing were to be reached.
With regard to Morocco the prince de-
clared: "You may be sure that Germany
Is not going to make any difficulties or
raise any obstacles for France. We will
be faithful to the spirit of the agreement
of Algeciras. On your side you must
adopt openly and without hidden motive
the policy of the open door. Germany
asks nothing more of you"
The prince stated that he believed that
occasions would not be few when France
and Germany might come to agreement
in matters of finance.
The chancellor expressed the belief
that wars would become more rare as
the peoples of the earth began to have
more interests in common. He pointed
out that Germany alone In Europe had
not waged a war for thirty-five years,
and stated that she had no desire for
colonial expansion.
Germany's navy was intended not for
aggression, but only to protect her COM
merce.
The prince stated that he did not be-
lieve in a yellow peril. The Japanese
were too wise and earnest to dream of
menacing peace by conflict with Amer
lea.

INVENTS A PORTABLE
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
Apparatus Weighs Only Forty Pounds
and May Be Used on One
the Big Railroad
Systems
snecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
BERLIN. Aug. 10.-A German engineer
named Heinicke has invented system OF
wireless telegraphy for short distance ser
vice which can be transported from point
to noint with remarkable ease and ra-
pidity.
It is expected that the system will come
into general use in connection with mill
tarv accommodating operations, naval
landing parties, and other similar pur-
poses.
Negotiations have been begun for the
installation of the system on the trains
of one of the principal railway companies
in the United States. American railway
travellers will thus be able in the near
future to transact telegraphic business
during their journeys by transmitting
messages to receiving stations along the
line
The transmitting and receiving appa-
ratus are both fitted in one small case
with a weight of approximately forty
pounds, which can thus be carried on a
mans back The weight of the pole for
the wires and other accessories is ap-
proximately 100 pounds, so that an entlre
station weighs approximately lao pounds
A station can be moved from place TO
place by three men, and five men are able
to erect 1t ready for use in eight minutes.
The cost of a station is $500, and the
range of communication about twenty
five miles. The smallest portable wireless
teIegraphy station hitherto in use Is so
much heavier that twelve men are re-
ouired TO carry it's different parts, While
its cost exceeds &S00.

KAISER FROW MS
ON WOMEN'S PETS
ROYAL LADIES HAVE QUEER
FADS
One Devotes Her Time to lguanas,
Another to Snakes and a Third
Makes Pets of
Cames

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Aug. 9.-In an article in the
Wochenblatt, Herr Kriesler calls atten-
tion to the growing tendency among
royal ladies of the courts of Europe to
harbor strange and unconventional pets.
The kaiser, it seems, does not approve
of the fashion, for he has more than
once vigorously protested against his
extravagant daughter-in-law, Princess
Eitel-Friedrich's penchant for pet mon
keys At Potsdam she has a model
monkey house, containing no fewer than
fourteen of these animals.
The beautiful countess of Montignoso,
whose unhappy marriage to the king of
Saxony ended in her divorce is said to
seek for consolation at having been de-
prived of her children in the extraordi-
nary interest she takes in a number of
American iguanas, which she feeds her
self The countess vegetable bill for her
pets is said to amount to s25 a week.
Is Fond of Lizards
Another royal lady who has a weak
ness for lizards Is the Duchess Vera of
Wurtemberg, but 1t is to chamelleons that
she is more particularly attached. While
still a Russian grand duchess this high
bern lady indulged her fancy for these
curious pets, and with them she created
mild sensation at Stuttgart when in
1877, she was married to the late Duke
Eugene.
Princess Hildegarde of Bavaria re-
ceived as a. birthday present from the
hereditary grand duke of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz Persian lynx, or caracal, which
he had brought back with him from Ger
man East Africa. 1t is a handsome
bright brown creature with long tail,
ard, although naturally fierce in dispo-
sition, it has learned to take meat direct
from the hands of its royals mistress.
The czar's only greataunt, the Grand
Duchess Alexandro-Josefa of Russia,
bought two pairs of camels some years
ago while on a visit to the Caucasus, and
at her lovely palace outside st. Peters
burg she devotes much of her time each
summer to her somewhat uncommon pets.
1t is reserved to the Baroness Won Held
burg, the morgantic and third wife OF
Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen, to
be a royal lover of snakes. She has sew
eral of them. and they are so tame that
now and then she horrifies her husbands
friends by appearing at table with one
of the reptiles coiled around her neck.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
VAN DYKE PORTRAITS
Critics Are Unable to decide Which
Is the OriginaI-one Is Owned
by the British Gov
ernment

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-The mystery of the
Van Dyck portrait of the Marquis Cat
taneo deepens.
1t is now known that there are three
portraits, which bear a strong resemblance
to one another. They are
The Van Dyck portrait in the national
gallery. for which the nation paid
e13,5O0.
The portrait with the signature "Edm!
Spenser, 1892" belonging to Mr.. Gilbert of
Sutton, which is being exhibited at
Graves gallery.
A portrait at Ramsgate, which is the
property of Henry WYE
The Ramsgate Cattaneo Is in every way
a far better picture than the picture in
Graves galleries. And, more important
still, there is direct evidence that the
Ramsgate picture is a portrait of Battista
Cattaneo.
On the piece of paper which the mar
quis is placing in his breast one can see
distinctly the words BAIT Cattene."
Points of Difference
The face of the Ramsgate picture, Curl
ously enough, is more like the Sutton
than the national gallery picture. That
is to say, the beard is softer and the face
Is rounder and not quite so stern as that
in the nations Van Dyck.
Mr.. Yves Cattaneo shows the collar as
1t is in the national gallery, but there rs
no stone in the ring on the marquis third
finger. Furthermore, the latest Cattaneo
shows the left arm, which has been cut
away in the Sutton portrait.
The Ramsgate portrait measures ooXzo
inches 1t is in splendid condition, ana
has been. recently revarnished II pears
no signature, however ;,
'I can give no pedigree to the picture
said Mr.. wye yesterday. because It has
been in my possession only since 1866 l
bought it from an Ipswich dealer, who
told me that 1t had hung in large mouse
In the neighborhood. We have always
called 1t the Van Dyck.'
All the critics, amateur and professional.
agreed that there was no possibility OF
the picture which has been so long In the
family of F. j. Gilbert of Sutton. and the
Van Dyck at the national gallery having
been painted by the same artist.
The eyes in the Graves gallery picture
are hard and almost crudely painted and
the knuckles of the hand which holds the
paper are out of drawing. In the
national gallery picture the eyes are
.'watery'' expressive and exquisitely
painted. and the drawing of the hand is
masterly.

OBJECT TO INDUSTRIAL
CONTROL OF THE WIRELESS
British Electrical Press Says 1t Will
stifIe Competition
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special cable TO Inc Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-The effect of the
Radio-Telegraphy convention, which Sir
Henry ampbell-Bannerman has declared
the government intends to ratify, is dis
cussed in three pamphlets issued by the
Electrical Press, Limited.
The pamphlets point out that ''if the
convention be ratified all systems of wire
less telegraphy will come under interna-
tional control. Thus the practical effect
of the convention will be to bring all
intercommunicative systems to a dead
level of uniformity, and to make it ex-
tremely difficult if not impossible, for
any new system to be tried on COM
mercial conditions"
Among the grounds for concluding that
the convention will not be in the in
terests of progress the following are
stated:
"It is impossible to believe that a con-
vention suggested by Germany and in
volvihg the cooperation of the Marconi
system (used Dy the British admiralty
with foreign systems can be of advantage
to British imperial defense.
"The convention by exercising world
wide control of the details of each wire
less telegraph organization, and fore
ing each company to communicate with
all,others substitutes rigid bureaucracy
for the free competition of wireless tele-
graph companies, each one of which
should strive to outstrip the Others"

MONK WHO WAS FAMOUS
LlNGUIST PASSES AWAY

BERLIN, Aug. 10-Father Erasmus
Herring, the worlds greatest linguist, is
dead at Landeshut monastery at the age
of thirty-seven.
He had been a monk in the monastery
for more than fifty years, and he had
absolute command of thirtythree ancient
and modern languages.
The celebrated Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who
died in 1S49, was reputed to be able to
speak fifty-two languages, while Mr..
jeremiah Curtin, VINO died last year at
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is said to have
known seventy tongues.
A good many of these languages, how
ever, were merely dialects or moditica-
tions of other root tongues.
