Old Manx Hospitality.

The Isle of Man government, which
is concerned at the financial loss
caused by the requisition of passen-
ger steamers for military purposes.
used at one time to legislate against
visitors from the mainland. One of
the very earliest laws on the Manx
statute book enjoined "all Scots to
avoid the land with the next vessel
that goeth into Scotland, upon pain
of forfeiture of their goods and bod
les to prison." Another enacted that
Irish women loytering and not work
ing be commanded forth of this isle
with as much speed as may be-" The
aforementioned law was the result of
series of raids on the Manx coast by
Galloway rover called MacCulloch.

Accidental inventions.

The ancients believed that there
was certain kind of mineral sub
stance in existence by means of which
all the common metals could be turned
into gold. This supposed substance
was called the philosophers stone, and
the alchemists Of classic times and
during the middle ages spent much
time and labor in search of this won
derful substance.
OF course, since nothing of the kind
ever existed. it was never found; but
It Is worth remembering that some Of
the most notable inventions were dis
covered in this wide search. 1t was in
looking for the philosophers stone that
the German chemist, Botticher, stun
bled upon the secret of making the
beautiful Dresden porcelain. Roger
Bacon, In the same way, discovered
the composition of gunpowder; Geber
found the properties Of acids; Van
Helmon discovered the nature Of gas,
and Doctor Glauber found the secret
of making the salts which now bear
his name.

NAMES ON WORKS OF; ART
Men Of Genius Have Not Always
Signed Productions That viii
Live Forever.

It appears 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
technic, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected. Spirits of wine or turpentine
will usually remove name Of later
date than the painting. In the course
of time signatures often become very
difficult to find. Painted originally in
shade slightly lighter than the.
ground, perhaps, they sink in. dark
en-, and merge into the ground color
or they are almost rubbed away by
successive 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 a
signature, though 1t can never be
made definite. On the other hand,
there have been remarkable cases Of
such marks, after careful study, re-
solving themselves into famous
name.
Sometimes the painters name is
most CONSPICUOUS. as. for example, in
Raphaels "Sposalizio" at Milan.
Proud of having surpassed his mas
ter, the youthful genius wrote on a
frieze in the very center of the can
vas, Raphael Urbinas."
Reynolds hardly ever signed his
work. But upon the completion of
the portrait of Mrs. Siddons 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 posterity on the hem of your gar.
ment."
