PERJURY IN COURT.
It Is Quito Common and the Rules of
 Evidence Favor It.

R Is Quito Common and the Rules ot
 Evidence Favor It.
 If ia a conservative aYerment that in two-thirds of the cases tried In court there Is positive contradiction of facts. There are few arguments made by ad- vocates in which bias and prevarlca- ton on the part of witnesses are not charged. Deplorably immoral as well as farcical is some of the evidence ad- duced in many cases where experts are used on both sides to support diamet' rically opposed propositions.
 Any judge or practicing attorney knows that seldom does a party to suit testify against his own interests In the decisive matters affecting the rights involved. Although perjury may not necessarily and invariably be pred lcated on these facts yet they must lead to the conclusion of sworn mis- statements in q large proportion Of cases, especially when we recall that the oath of the witness requires him not only to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, but all the truth.
 In this connection 1t Is interesting to remember that the rules of evidence nt present and for centuries In the past, enforced in our courts and English courts, not only tend in spite of the plain context of the oath to prevent the telling of all, but permit a witness rather to conceal much that has some bearing in truth upon the matter at issue,
 We are forced to recognize, then, that perjury prevails as a common and crying eviL-Charles J. Martell in Case and Comment

THE OLD MASTERS.
Paintings Without Signatures Ara
 Judaed by Their Technic.

JlOgeQ py lilClI ASS''''S'
 If apnears that many of the works of the old masters are not signed Experts rarely rely on signatures alone in determining the authenticity of an old work, but trust rather to their knowledge of the painters technlc, says the Philadelphia Record.
 False signatures can be easily de tected. Spirits of wine or turpentine will usually remove a name of later date than the painting. In the course of time signatures often become very difficult to find Painted originally in a shade slightly lighter than the ground, perhaps, they sink fin, darken, and merge Into the ground color or they are almost rubbed away by sue cessive cleanings. Recognizable one day in a specially favorable light they may not be visible again for weeks.
 Experts speak of "will-o'-the-wisp' signatures, and many collectors have encountered accidental strokes and cracks that tantalizingly suggest sig nature, though 1t can never De maue definite. On the other hand, there have been remarkable cases of such marks, after careful study, resolving them selves into famous name.
 Sometimes the painters name Is most conspicuous as, for example, in Ra- phael's "SpOsalizlo" at Milan. Proud of having surpassed his master, the youthful genius wrote on frieze in the very center of the canvas, Raphael Urbinas."
 Reynolds hardly ever signed his work. But upon the completion of the portrait of Mrs. Slddons as the Tragic Muse, he wrote his name large on the gold embroidery of her dress. He was unable, he said, "to resist the temptation of sending my name to pos, terity on the hem of your garment"

FAIRBANKS HAS THREE
 TRAGEDIES IN ONE DAY

Fairbanks. Aug. 14-With two attempted murders and a suicide, all within two hours, this city was thrown into a stlte of teverish eX- citameut yesterday, and the limited force of United States deputy mar sAals were kept exceedingly busy.
 The first tragedy occurred when Charles Ltndstrom, Chatanika min CT, in the presence of his partner picked up a 3O-4O rifle and shot himself through the head.
 While the deputy marshals were investigating this suicide, a report was received that two Italians had engaged in fight with knives. They were separated by officers, but not before both had been ser iously wounded,
 Returning to the courthouse, the deputy marshals found Jim Katk- hashi or the steps of the city jail, slowly bleeding to death from pistol bullet wound which he said he received at the hands of an- other Japanese while the two were engaged in a game of poker. His alleged assailaut has not yet been arrested.

 Hollands Great Cheese Mart.
 At Alkman, the principal cheese market of Holland, may be seen the quaint old weigh house, erected In 1882. Connected with the town clock in the tower of this building hangs one of those tinkling chimes which plays a melody even stranger than those heard in Amsterdam. It Is in this building that all of the cheeses are brought from the square in front to be official ly weighed before they are delivered to the purchaser and slowed away in the packets or barges waiting near by in the canal

Flower Gardens of the Sea.

The sea has its flower gardens, but tue blooms are not on plants ns they are on the land. It Is the animals of the sea that make the gardens, the corals of the tropical waters particu- larly making a display of floral beauty that fairly rivals the gorgeous Coloring and delicate grace presented by land flowers. So closely do they resemble plant blooms that 1t is hard to believe that they are wholly animal in organi- zatlon. A naturalist says that among the coral gardens there are fishes of curious forms and flashing colors dart Ing about just as the birds and butter flies dart about plant gardens on land Exchange.
