RIVAL CLAIMS TO VILNA

Vilda, Aug. 5.

In these days of ever-improving communications it is startling to And two cities in Europe, only 60 miles apart, between which it is impossible to travel, to telephone, or even to send a letter or a tele- gram.

The two cities are Kovno, the capital of Lithuania, and Vilna, a elty of bewilderingly mixed-popula- tion, under Polish government, but claimed vehemently by Lithuanians as the historic capital of their country,

Ever since 1920, when Marshal Pilsudski acized Vilna for strategic and sentimental reasons (he was born and his mother buried there), the neighbouring countries of Po land and Lithuania have turned their backs upon each other and diligently avoided every kind of in- ternational intercourse. They call it n "state of war."

But after 15 years the warriors have weuried, and hostilities are at present confined to a refusal to communiente across the frontier in } the manner of civilised countries.

Morgan, millionaire American financier, placed the collection gathered by his father on sale at Christin's Auction Rooms, London. This collection is one of the most valuable of all privately-owned groups of miniatures. The paintings are of great value, but the frames also cause a sensation, many of them being made with precious stones. This portrait of Marie Antoinette is by Francais or Tony Dumont.

THE man who, seventy

years ago, revolu- tionised the building trade by inventing rein- forced concrete is to-day living in fear of a pau- per's grave.

Joseph Tall, at eighty-four, lives in a tiny cottage at Cog- geshall, Essex.

He was fourteen when he patented his invention na "a method of reinforcing concrete in order to render il suitable for building." and he was hailed as a genius,

He went on to invent and patent more than a score of other inven- tions covering the whole field of | concrete construction.
