60 Miles Apart but No Intercourse

RIVAL CLAIMS TO VILNA

Vilna, Aug. 5.

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

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

Ever since 1920, when Marshal Pilsudski seized Vilna for strategic and sentimental rensons (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 a "stato of war."

But after 15 years the warriors have wearied, and hostilities are at present confined to a refusal to communicate across the frontier la the manner of civilised countries.

The railway line betwen Vilna and Kovno has been torn up for 100 yards where the track passes-in- distinguishably as far as the ap- pearance of the fields and trees and peasants is concerned-from Po- land into Lithuania. It is never- theless, possible for a foreigner to cross the frontier by road if he is

British lovers of art treasures were given an opportunity to purchase some of the world's finest miniatures when J. P. Morgan, millionaire American financler, placed the collection gathered by his father on mule at Christie'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 alio cause a sensation, many of them being made with precious stones. This portrait of Marie Antoinette is by Francois or Tony Dumont. Note the magnificent framing.

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 be Įpatented his invention as "a method of reinforcing concrete in order to render it suitable for building." and he was halled 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,

He was fifteen when he put up the first concrete buildings at Bexleyheath, Kent, and two years later Napoleon III. com- mlastoned him to build a block of forty flats in Paris. Buildings all over the world stand Ins memorials to his invention.
