AS for remedies, NJ. Bertillon insists that
frenchmen mDst be taught to regard a child
MS a burden which its father supports for the
benefit of the whole community. But in or
der that a family should pay what it owes to
the State it should consist of at least three
chlldren-two to fill the places of the par
ents when they die, the third to fill the gaps
caused by those who die before attairing
adult age. In order to promote this end NJ.
Bertillon proposes q reduction of taxation
upon fathers of three or more than three chill
d"en, in proportion to the number of living
offspring "a system already adopted in
Prussia, Saxony, Servia, Norway, Sweden
and parts of Switzerland. The laws
of succession should be modified and
formalities of marriage simplifed. Mot
hers OF large families should be assisted
IN various ways, and especial provision
should be made for widows left with chill
dron. Finally, NJ. Bertillon suggests that
among the humber class Of public servants
those candidates for employment by the
State who have children should be consid-
ereG as eligible in proportion 10 the size Of
their fnmilies.- Times. AuguSt 1GM.

August I2-Our Berlin correspondents
reported a curious threat by Germany which
if carried into effect, will have serious con-
sequences to Holland, both commercially and
strntegically. For some time the German
Government has been eldeavourino 10 oh.
tain the sanction of the Dutch Government
to a scheme of tolls on Rhine-borne traffic
Although the great part Of the Rhine is Ger
man territory and carries the vast wealth Of
MestphaIla, the lower portion of the river
flows through Holland aud is Dutch terri
tory. The freedom Of traffic on the Rhine
has been undisputed since 1863, when ihe
last vesti9e of a toll disappeared and the
river was thrown open witL4pa ia ,~lriction tn
the trade Of ali nations. This treaty wa,
signed by Prussia, France, and otLa, Cow-
ers, and the management Of he channel and
navigation is vested in a central commfftee
formed by members for A}sace lorraine.
Baden, Bavaria, Hesse, Prussia, and N.lj..[
Germany proposes to a~brogate this treafv
ana to impose tolls. In the hope Of over
coming the opposition OF H1liari the Ger
man Government threatens to divert .aA
Rhine traffic by means Of a canal, which viii

tween Enden and the Rhine above D i>ael-

Ems canal, and It's extension connects the
great industrial and mlu;n9 centre of West

August 4,-The arrival in Paris of an ell
derby Englishman carrying under his arm
what he claimed to be the lost picture by
Leonardo da Vinci, La G%ioconda, otherwise
known as the "Monna Lisa" stolen from the
Louvre Museum almost exactly a year ago,
has provided Parisians with a first class
sensation. For a few hours it was believed
that the original Gioconda had come back,
but Il summary examination of the picture
sutficed to convince the experts that the
real Norma Lisa is still missing. The Eng
lishman is Mr.. Harold Rathbone, of Liam
dudnO, employed as a designer in Portland
works at Birkenhead. He stated that the
picture had come into his hands at an auc-
ton sale at Messrs Christie's, in London,
some time i'll July, where he paid 1O5 gui-
meas for it. NJ. Pujalet, Curator of the
Louvre says: "The picture is not a forgery
prepared for the occasion. 1t is a copy
and quite an old one, dating back probably
to the first half of the last century. The
person who brought it to the Embassy very
likely believed in its authenticity. In GER
tain respects it is very nearly identical in
appearance with the masterpiece of Da
Vinci. 1t is painted on an ancient wooden
panel, which, like the original, is somewhat
damaged "-DaIly -HaH, Aug"st 18th.
