Dec. 2.—An invoniton of the Swedish engineer, Seven Ber- geiund, in connection with talkinn as well as moving pictures, is exciting ^eat interest here.

Ptogress of Uiban- ity In Germany Ber-lln, Dec. 2,—The progress of ur banity—the art' of living in a city— w^hich is taking place among modern Germans is illustrated by the move ment for modifying, or altogether abol ishing, the “German salute.” Under the expression is meant the traditional German fashion of taking o^ the hat on occasions of meeting or separation. It is a highly elaborate performance, suggesting military precision the close of a vendetta, and the intimation of total indifference as to whether the parties will or will not ever Aeet again. It is executed in three motions, the first being the raising of the hat with stiffly-extended arm, the second the lowering of it with a downward cutting motion to the knee, and the third the, similarly executed replace ment on the head. The action between adults appears formal enough to draw a smile from foreigners of easier man ners, but it becomes laughable w^hen practiced with all gravity between a pair of schoolboys or college students. In Germany it is etiquette for the gentleman meeting a lady of his aor quaintance ia the street to take off hat to her first. In Anglo-Saixon coun tries the contrary is the practice, and the Englishwoman in Berlin is often not a little surprised by elaborate sa lutes from men, of whpm she may have only the very haziest recollection, f. ^®rnment to bring the repres^nta- _ tives of the companies and the unions December Tweljth Will Disclose Result of Ballot RaUroai , Unions are Holding-stnkc at Christmas Would be Cah- mitious, RoyaU Geographical ^lety .

With considerable anxiety |he whole country is looking forward to the tw^elfth of December the eventful day on which the result of the ballot of the members of thp four great railroad unions will Sp made known from their headquarter" Lnlty House in Euston Road. Are x\e to b§ve another railroad strike, great er and more formidable than anv the country has ever seen? This is the all important question of the moment for a strike declared now. a few weeks before Christmas, when everv business house in the country is work- ing at high pressure, would be a na tional Calamity Indeed. The railroad temployees themselres are evidently in dead earnest, the bal lot is going on in an orderly fashion all over the country, but there are signs which prove that the result of the vote may be the calamity that the w^hole nation drea ^ . When the bal lot papers w^ere sent out some three weeks ago the Sw'ansea Railroad men’s joint committee unanimously recom mended that the whole of the ballot papers be returned en bloc and that the members call upon the joint ex ecutives, at once to declare a national strike for full recognition of the un ions, a minimum wage and a r?ductioa of w'orking hours. The Sheffield strike committee pars ed a resolution condemning the action of the joint committee in asking the STRANGE CASE QF ARTISTIC PIRACY. Paris, Dec. 2.~A stranp case of what is alleged to be artistic piracy has just come to light. Nine years ago M. Julien Bucas, a French artist, made the acquaintance of an Austrian named Rudolf Quittner, who manifested an ex treme interest in his work, saying that he was a wealthy Vienna manufac turer much interested in painting. He brought a large number of_M. Bucas’s picture at a moderate price, and declared that he. would^ make the painter’s name known in Germany companies and the iniions together, “seeing that the commis sion’s report has been rejected by the men at mass meetings all over the country.” The committee calls upon all railroadmen to vote for direct re cognition and a national program. Though the^ railroad strike if It does come is not expected to be ac companied by. serious disturbances or sabotage the authorities are naturally preparing for it and as it is the in tention of the government to employ the military as little as possible the newly-reated volunteer police force In London and the special constables en rolled by the home office are at pres and Austria. In six years M. ^ucas saldlf^^ rejJeivmg i thorough training for his Austrian friend from 150 to 200 paintings, M. Bucas wasVratber sur prised some time ago to hear that Herr Quittner had been awarded a medal for a picture h-ung .in the Paris Salon, and a fortnight ago discovered that an exhibition of Herr Quittner’s .pictures was being held at an a^ gallery in Paris. ‘, On visiting the exhibition he was stu pefied to recognize a numyer of his own paintings with his imme erased and replaced by that of Herr Quittner. The Austrian had died Jp the mean time, and as-MiBuGus could not ob tain satisfaction from the widow, he went to the ■ politee.' The authorities searched Frau Quittner’s house at Neuilly,.a ^burb of Paris. About forty pkintings were discovered, the majority of them still bearing th^ name Of M. Bucas, but in the case of; a few. the name of Quittner had been painted in. M. Bucas c^ms to possess refutable their dutifi^.. Of these two forces the volunteer police is undoubtedly the most inter esting because it is to be a permanent body, which is being officered and drilled ready to go on duty at a mo ment’s notice.
