 WORKS IF ART
r Famous American Buyer Com ing Home Empty Handed Because There Is Noth-
 ing Worth Notice
TREASURES ARE ALL SOLD

LONDON, Sept. 2.--Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Courtland Penfield, who have been paying round of visits in Scot land. returned to London this week by motor. They will go to Paris next week and sail rom Cherbourg on Sept 20. On the journey here they passed through much country affected by the railway strike.
 T never saw anything like it in my life.' said Mir. Penfield. During the 450 mile journey l saw only two little bits of trains with steam up It was like going through a land engaged in a civil war. The factories had stop ped work and soldiers were coming and going everywhere"
 For the first time in many years Mir. Penfield is returning to America without buying any pictures. the req son being, he says, that there is noth- ing left worth buying. He has visited all the principal galleries and also Christie's, where in former years he has been large purchaser, but is go- ing back without anything.
 Mir. Penfeld has a theory to explain this. When radicalism and socialism commence first to get a foothold in the British Isles" he said, "astute owners of historic castles and palaces began to convert their ancient art ob- jects into cash, and for years new an cestral picture galleries have been as. sisting shrinking back accounts or preparing for coming death duties. For six years the trade has been enormous and where one famous painting or tap estry has been publicly sold probably a dozen heirlooms have been disposed of privately, and in many cases clever copies have been substituted in castle or town gallery.
 "A year ago found in the hands oi a Paris dealer two famous Rembrandts that had come from one of Great Britain's dukes. In a mansion in Kent recently I saw a portrait that a Lon. don critic assured me was merely a copy furnished by the purchaser of the original. 4 few days ago the custo- dian of castle near Carlisle apolo. gized to me for the disappointing dis play Of pictures by saying that every example of worth was being sold.
 Tn my judgment not half of Eng lands marketed objects of art have e5CAAp NO lOl ans, and even Frenchmen of late years have been liberal buyers. As England is small country and the drain oi pictures has been going on for years. l should say it has nearly run its course
 Not in a decade have I heard of a great picture coming to England
 At any rate, no painting of the i'm portance of 'The Mill' is likely to come into the market. There will always be works of questionable authenticity coming into the Lcndon salesrooms {; but in my humble opinion the drain of masterpieces is about over, and noth. ing is left but seconds
 Mir. Penfield, who bought fine pic ture by Sir L Alma-Tadema last year has been a guest of that painter this week

Nuremberg Teacher lnventS Q Wireless Device to Blow
 Up Vessels

BERLIN, Sept 2.-Christopher Wirth, a teacher of Nuremberg, has given to the world an invention which may considerably alter the aspect of future warfare by rendering Dread, noughts obsolete and gunboats use, less.
 The new war vessel, whether for air or water. will be crewless-a mere machine of destruction of life and prop. erty-while the operator is miles away conducting a battle by means of buttons and levers.
 The inventor recently gave a prac- tical demonstration before a special committee of the German Navy League (Flottenvereip) in a secluded part of the Wannsee, a lake near Berlin. The system employed is very similar to that used in wireless telegraphy, and is the latest wonder in teledynamics.
 The first experiments took place in building where the inventor went into a room surrounded by thick walls and passed his electric waves through the wall, exploding miniature mines on the ether side in the order selected by his visitors. He also fired off re- volver and started and stopped an cleo. tric motor and a steam engine by the same means.
 On the lake he worked specially made boat from the land, steering it in all directions without visible eonnec. ton. fired off guns which were on board and exploded .sunken and float ing mines in the water.
 The unnamed motor boat was then steered through a labyrinth of small boats. the gear was reversed and she returned to her original position. Bengal lights and fireworks also were ignited by wireless waves and only in the order desired.
 The wave currents were transmitted and received through antennae in a very similar manner to that used in connections with receivers and trans mitters is wireless telegraphy: each transmitter must be ''attuned" to the receiver before the current operators
 The inventor has also applied his apparatus to balloons and flying ma chimes; an aeroplane with electric mo tar can be steered from idnd ia all directions and can be made to drop bombs when required
 What is not explained is what would happen if an opposing electric wave could be got into tune and were direct ed in an opposite direction, but prob ably premature explosion would occuf

Movement on Foot to Take English From the !-an-
 guage

PARIS, Sept. "A remarkable re- volt has started here against the Americanization" of the French Ian guage and customs, and leagues are being formed by persons who feal that the influence of the New World in Europe is a dangerous one.
 A society calling itself "The Friends of the French Language" has just been constituted. it's object being the purifscation of the language from the hordes of Anglo-Saxon words which in the last few years have invaded it. It has a large number of influential members representing the best Paris society, as well as politicians, journal ists, scientists, and even army officers, and they seem determined to expel such intrIders as smoking room, ''fiirters," interviewer" and mutton chop" and to restore the native words for them. They will also try to rid the tongue of certain remarkable crea. tions like footing" meaning walk. ing" that have no existence, even in English
 Side by side with this movement protests have recently been made against the introduction of American free-and-easy manners in place of the old "Politeness Francaise." The hand. shake, for instance. has almost busted the courtly "baisemain,' the old-fash, toned little ceremony in which the cavalier bends gracefully over the hand of the lady and imprintes kiss upon her fingers.
 The free way in which French soci ety women now generally conduct themselves in the streets and in inter course with men is regarded by the uphoIders of the old regime as being principally due to American influence
 This last movement Is already vel on the way to restoring the 'baise main" to its former popularity. ent in most of the fashionable summer re sorts it has made great progress among the elite.

Few people realize the importance
OF the citrus crop in California, even
In southern California. but some idea
may be had when it is understood
that the crop this year is estimated
to be in the neighborhood of $4,000
car loads. The handling Of such an
output involves the labor Of a vast
army Of workers and the amount Of
money involved is so great that the
industry must of necessity be classed
as one OF the largest in tho United
States.

Editorial work alone does not occupy
Uncle Henrys entire attention. He
never neglects his voluminous cores

must draw heavily on his energy and
vitality In the work which he loves
although both seem almost inexhaust-

that the hardy, muscular form before

But that was 80 years ago, when Mr..

several sisters and brothers had lost In

In giving counsel to the younger men

1t was Uncle Henry Wallace, who
was afterward elected president of the
Conservation Congress, declared by
Uncle Jim" Wilson and many hun

ablest agricultural writer's in the
world, and held In affectionate regard
and esteem by thousands OF farmers

That he is one of Americas ablei t

that he INDUCES in technicalities and

Henry's agricultural writings cover a
wide range Of subjects and ideas. How
