BELIEVES HE HAS REAL LA G|OCONDA Harold RathbOne Inclined to Laugh at Critics
 Opinions

London. September 7.--(Special, )--In spite of the determined sceptlcism of the authorities of the Louvre, MT. Harold Rathbone is still convinced that his La Gioconda" is the actual picture that was tlonal collection.
 MT. Rathbone has returned to England and is staying a few days in London before leaving for his home at Llandudno He is not at all pleased at the way in which he was treated in Paris and he does not propose to make any further overtures to the Louvre.
 ''The picture will probably remain in my possession he said yesterday to a Daily Chronicle" representative and l shall leave 1t by will to one of the ns tional collections. But though I am not anxious to part with it should not re- fuse suitable offer. The price was s1oo,- GOO on Monday last, and it has advanced 5000 each day since, so that 1T anynouy wants to buy 1t he had better lose no time"
 "No, have not submitted 1t to any English experts, and have no intention of doing so. They are at perfect liberty to examine it. of course. but I regard myself as an authority on Leonardo da Vinci. with as much claim to pronounce an opinion as anybody living" MT. Rathbone's theory as to the robbery of La Giacanda" from the Louvre is that it really took place in June last year, when a copy which had been pre- pared was placed in the frame by one of the workmen, who was the actual thief. When the substitution was not discov- cred after a couple of months. and the original was disposed of, the copy was re- moved.
 Briefly, his reasons for supposing that Louvre Mona Lsa' are:
 That the panel on which 1t is painted the picture in his possession Is the is 300 years old, according to experts in wood.
 That the name of Leonardo is on the back of the panel
 That the panel is split precisely in the same way as the one stolen from the Louvre
 That there are two defets under the right eye that coincide exactly with the photographic reproductions done from the original
 The weak point in the evidence seems to be the absence of any plausible ex- plantation how the picture got to Chris ties. where Mr. Rathbone purchased 1t for 105 guineas. or about $5.a5.

A Hospital for Sick Wheat


 In Canada there Is a 'hosptaE where diseased wheat is "eured" of various complaints, the most common of which is that known as smut" This is kind of fungcid growth which attacHs certain Kernels of the wheat, and changes the gluten and starch into black dust Tho dust adhere to the good kernels when the grain is threshed, greatly lowering its value.
 s All the wheat grown within certain ca of the "hospital' is inspected by a grain inspector, who disqualifies the dis eased wheat and orders 1t to be sent to the "hospital" for treatment. Arriving here the garn is unloaded from the vans by means of a steam shovel, and then discharged into a scale hopper, where 1t is weighed.
 The cleanest of the smutty wheat is then cleansed by the aid of huge brush ing machines, and the very dirty is sub mitted to washing process and after ward dried and treated with the brdsh The wheat, which is thick with dirt, but which has pure kernel beneath the coat ing of smut" is sometimes secured be- tween pieces of metal passing through d revolving machine.
 Whichever treatment is chosen for the .'patient," 1t is nearly always successful, and the grain eventually appears as c,ean as though it had never been con- taminated.

Profit Sharing Abroad

From the Iron Age.
 Profit sharing in Great Britain has re- gently been studied from the statistic col lected in the United Kingdom. It appears that up to June 30, 1911. a total of 232 schemes had been started by different firms, but at that date only 76 were known to be still in operation. In the four years ending with 1892 as many as Sl of these were inaugurated and only 1c survived. Later experiments seem to have proved more successful, the whole of the Is begun in 1908 and Il of the l3 launched in 1909 being still In existence. Of the 15S schemes. 40 were abandoned ewing to the dissatisfaction of the em- ployer with the results, 21 on account of losses or want of success, 21 because of liquidation, 17 on account of changes in or a transfer of business, and 10 owing to the apathy of the employees.

"A straw ballot was taken recently and 1t brought out very clearly that most au- tomobie manufacturers. designers and en- gineers are giving quite a lot of attention to noise. Large sums of money are being spent. and some builders have striven in vain to eliminate noise, and the valve mo- tion receives quite a lot of attention, says L. l.. Barnes of the Oakland

It has been brought to the writer's attention that some manufacturers place brass tubes on the valve springs and stems with endeavor to exclude sand, dust and dirt. While this is likely to serve i.s purpose it is found that these tubes act as megaphone and greatly increase
