Chicago, Feb. 7-~With the announce- of the death of Adam Worth, dias Henry J. Raymond, 'in London, Jl the details of the recovery of the selebrated Gainsborough painting were nade public in Chicago. When the famous picture was re Adored to its owner in Chicago last April, theve were many sutmises as to the mediwm of its return. William A. Yinkerton, who made the formal an youncement of the recovery of t minting, refused to confirm or deny wy of the stories. Now that Warth sx dead, Mr. Pinkerton can speak. Yorth gave him written permission to reveals the Gainsborotgh sécref after w had died Wrapped. in oilcloth, the canvas was vanded over to (!. Moreland Agnew, yor morning last April in Chicago, by Worth, who twenty five years before, had cut the painting from its frame n the Agnew galleries in London. The wturn of the painting took place in ir, Piokegtgn's private office. The Ao of 3 picture hurried back to fondan for fear the United States au hogdtics would demand a custom duty wm the work which had been secreted n this country for fifteen years. It was while in London that Worih onceived the idea of carrving off the Gainsborough 'picture Hie first plan was to rob the Royal academy of its irt treasures. Then he changea his find and directea his attention to the Jainsborough painting Assisted by his paftner, he climbed into the Ag ww galleries one night, the paint ng from ite canvas and carried WAY. th owned a steam vacht and the Was was taken aboard. and con: walbd there until he sold the vessel to afl Lonsdale. Then he took the pie fife t6 Paris and finally brought it to America, where it was concealed or fifteen years In the meantime Worth was arrested in Brussels apd joxced to serve seven years. Mr. Pink- orton regeived a telegram, telling him that an important letter was at his Some. The letter was from Worth, tho asked an. interview. This was ranted, and Worth said he was go- ng to dig. and wanted to 'turn up' Gainsborough picture in order that his two children, who had been ducated in a convent, might enjoy the proceeds. Through a hitch the pic- ture was not weeived at that time. Worth returned to London and early fast spring. he fulfilled his bargain.

The young man never forgot the girl, and last Sunday morning the little romance which he had carried in his heart for a decade; found its sequel at Calgary, where Woodworth and Miss Alberta Beatrice Haet wore married in a Pullman car.

The fact is, a reieven: dum with a thresfiiths majority, in other words minority rule, is contrary to the spirit of Canadian institutions But there is nothing foreign to the iri of Canadian aemocTacy in the 1 peforendum which makes a mea: sure law by a majority vote of the jeople The referendum is a Latin term, meaning to refer a measure back to the pesple to be made Jaw by them or ad according to the vote of the majority. What can be simpler in Jawsmaking than this?

In doing this 1 consider that the horticultural sogiety would he only fulfilling its miesion, 1 think the prize list might be made more at tractive if. a little consideration is given to it.

In view of our apparently extensive knowledge of the nature of iron it may soem. staange to still speak about rii- dies wrought in these metals. Neverthe less, in everyday practice, we are con- stantly confronted by riddles of ove kind or another when dealing with iron and steed, particnlarly the fziter. Why is it that we can raise the strength of soft staybeit dren of, y, 47.000 pounds per. square inch, to 60,000 pounds per square inch either Ly beat treatment or. by repeated application of stress? Why is steel coming from the rolls or hammer weaker and less ductile than the same steel alter left lying a day or twe, or, better still, 8 week ? There is no doubt that many tons of suitable material bave been either thrown out by mill people themselves or were rejected by inspectors because it filled to meet specifications, causing needless vexation and friction simply because neh ther the one or the other of the parties knew that steel is in a distarbed physical state after rolliug or hammering, no mat ter how good the material, and should be left to rest, the longer the better. Now, what takes place in the steel during the period of rest? Another riddle is that we can raise the elastic limit and ultimate strength by a successive application of stresses very wuch above the original strength. What law, if it is a law, governs this phenom- epon? Personally, the aunthor is econ- vinced that many errors of design or in- herent weakness of steel have been modi- fied in their probable consequences sd breakdowns averted by this peculiar prop- erty of steel to gain in strength if al- lowed to rest after baving been subject to stresses within certain limits, It was the knowledge of this fact which ean- abled the avthor to fight for steel and defend steel for structural purposes at a time when that metal was not yet a favorite with the engineer by any means, We are all familiar with the discovery of esst irop getting stronger by tum- bling in a Mittin Barrel, but for all we know it is still dh unsolved riddle what the eduditions really are producing such effects. --Paul Kréuzpointer in Cas~ sier's Magazine, Leay fair and Nervousness, The man who russ a eertain bathhouse is full of theories about difficult diseases, and some of his theories are at least in- teresting, Speaking to a patron who bad very thick hair, be said: "I see you are one of those nervous people.
