There is nothing naughty about Diane

An interesting experiment in social hy-
gienics is being made by the town coun-
Gil Of Wilmersdorf. a fiournishing west
ern suburb of Berlin. In the belief that
valuable aid can be given in the fight
against tuberculosis by acquainting the
people with the terrible nature of the
disease. and by showing them the means
Of avoiding it. the council has opened an
exhibition in the great hall Of one Of the
modern schools.
The exhibition has been arranged and
prepared by the Wilmersdorf board Of
health and the German central committee
for combating tuberculosis, and its direc-
ton is in the hands Of medical experts.
In one section Of the origin and spread
of tuberculosis are explained pictorially
in a manner suited to the comprehension
of the layman. A second contains ana
tomical preparations which show, on the
one hand the exact appearance of the
same organs when affected with tubercu-
|losis. A third section is devoted to the
means of combating the disease. Tables

The Riviera season promises to be an
exceptionally gay one this year. and even
the threatened revolution in Monaco has

is limited to selling it's boys time to the

If this contention is upheld by the judges
the post-office must proceed against each

against him, against his employer.
The energetic protest raised by the ves-
trymen of Eisenach against the "Jesus
Tetralogy'' to be held there in August
in imitation of the Oberammergau Pas
sion Play is apparently well justified.
though it is agreed it must prove inef-
fectual. as the contracts have already
been signed. and the performance is to be
Of a private nature.
The figures to be brought on the stage
are marionettes. speaking indeed the Ian
guage Of the Bible, but expressing mod
ern ethical ideas. The religious side of
Christ's character is entirely dropped, and
he is only regarded as a sort Of spiritual
doctor or social reformer, More daring
still, he Is represented as the illegitimate
son Of an illegitimate son Of King Herod,
while Mary Magdalene is made out to be
a courtesan who falls in love with Jesus
and imp6rtunes him to marry her.
A remarkable trial. the outcome of
which will be Of interest to number OF
American art muesums and art collectors,
is before the criminal court Of Munich.
The technical director Of the provincial
museum, Herr Batteaux, and a dealer in
antiquities named Heimann. are charged
with Offering limitations Of famous Gothic
art treasures for sale. alleging them to
be real.
Heimann. 1t seems, is not only a trader.
but q workman Of unsurpassed skill.
Batteaux was In the habit Of lending
his works Of art: stone and wood carv-
ings, chiefly from the provincial museum,
to be copies These copies Heimann sold
at high prices a originals. and. it Is
alleged divided the proceeds with Bat
teaux.
But the charges in the indictment are
even worse. Not only did BatteAux give
out these treasures to b copied but In
some cases when the copios were accepted
he Isft the originals with Heimann. So
perfect were these copies that the Crown
has had to subpoene several Of the lead

that the copies and not the originals were
