GOLD MEDALS FOR ORVILLE AND WILBER WRIGHT
Philadelphia
Two gold medals, authorized by Congress for Orville and Wilber Wright, were delivered in Washington, D. C., last week, to General Allen, chief signal officer of the army by the Director of the Mint. The medals were turned out at Philadelphia from a design furnished by two engravers there. Those who have inspected the medals say they excel in beauty the ones recently presented by President Taft on behalf of the Aero Club of America.

THE DEMISE OF SILVERWARE
France
It is curious to remark that, at an epoch when silver abounds, silver-plate is disappearing. Day by day, those great houses that were formerly proud of their side-board adornments, are rapidly diminishing; fine services of plate are rare in France, and the few families that still possess an argentier, specially charged with the care of the family silver, may be easily counted. It is not here as it is in England, where there exist showy and sumptuous sideboards, heavily laden with tankards and old silver of Queen Anne's time, and of the reigns of the Georges, pieces, if sometimes a little massive, still always characteristic; nor have the French, like ourselves, great regimental services of plate. The use of silver is a luxury to be imported into France, where among the French, essentially a people fond of outward display, electro-plate has taken the place of solid silver. Indeed, we may say of our neighbours that, to appear without being (paraître sans étre) is their motto.

THE DUTY ON SILVER PLATE
London
Some three weeks ago we announced that none of the dessert service designs sent in for competition in connection with the prizes offered by Messrs. Watherston & Sons, the well-known silversmiths, had been considered of sufficient merit to be entitled to the first prize of £100, which was therefore held in abeyance. The designs in fact were not only few in number, but also poor in invention. There is, however, reason to believe that the apparent dearth of invention in connection with one of our leading art industries is due not so much to want of capacity as to want of will on the part of our designers, and that the repressive influence of the taxation to which silversmiths' work is subjected in this country has a good deal to answer for in the matter. Designers naturally direct their talents to those fields of invention which are best remunerated, and if they decline to emulate the achievements of Cellini, Guiberti, and other great past masters of the metalworker's craft, it is because taxation, direct and indirect, nowadays weighs, so heavily, upon products of this class that the public , will not buy them. For articles of luxury, such as gold and silver plate, the Government duty of 17s. and 1s. 6d. per ounce respectively may not seem excessive, but, owing to the manner in which the duties are levied, the augmentation which they undergo at the hands of silversmiths, and the mischievous manner in which the rebate system operates to stimulate the production of unfinished plate, the burden ultimately cast upon the purchaser is far greater than these duties would represent. Upon silver spoons and forks the duty is 20 per cent., upon tea sets, waiters, and other useful plate it is 12½ per cent., the tax becoming smaller in proportion as the workmanship becomes more elaborated—in other words, the greater the luxury the smaller the tax . Under such repressive influences it is not surprising to learn that, in spite of the depreciation of silver, the trade is languishing. Twenty years ago the silver wares upon which duty was levied averaged, in round figures, a million ounces per annum. It is now something like 20 per cent. less, and is annually decreasing. In a letter to the Times on this subject, Mr. Watherston professes, to give the sole reasons for the retention of this unproductive and unsatisfactory tax. He says, in the first place, the cost of collection is nil, the Goldsmiths’ Company collecting the greater part of the tax; and, secondly, the manufacturers hug the tax on account of the facilities for extra profit which the drawback of 3d. per ounce upon unfinished plate affords. By sending plate to the Hall as nearly finished as possible, a profit is secured to the manufacturers of about 2d. an ounce. Thus a manufacturer who works up, say 120,000 ounces, secures a profit of £1,000 a year in duty alone. Then, again, the manufacturer charges profit upon the duty paid as well as upon the manufacturing cost of the goods. If he has a stock of 50,000 ounces, his capital embarked in duty alone is £3,750, and upon this he must charge interest. Hence the extra burdens imposed by the tax upon the public amount to about two-fifths of the value of the material. As a consequence of these burdens and restrictions, the silver trade is kept within the narrowest limits, and designing artists find no inducement to turn their attention to the improvement of cups and salvers, which the public refuse to buy. In the interests of art, if not of the silversmiths' trade, we think a good plea can be made out for the repeal of the plate duty.

RUSSIAN GEMS
London
London, Jan. 20.—Considerable comment was aroused the past few days by the appearance in public of a gem merchant who, apparently, had been entrusted with a commission by a member of the late royal family of Russia. He displayed gems of fabulous worth with less concern than a schoolboy shows for his marbles. The visitor to London (it turned out he was a special agent employed by a Russian grand duchess to track down family jewels that had disappeared during the war) had a wonderful rope of pearls in his pocket which he exhibited at a metropolitan detective agency whence he had gone as a precaution while staying in the city. The Daily Express, which first got to know of the agent and his jewels through the detective bureau, says that the responsibility of guarding the gems became so great that after visiting the London detectives the visitor changed his hotel every two nights or so and spent most of his time walking about by himself. He received no one at his hotel rooms and would speak with no stranger. The detective agency described him as a "trusted friend" of a Romanoff duchess. He carried amethysts of wonderful luster, according to a member of the firm who declared that he had fine diamonds in his pockets. He playfully hung a wonderful rope of pearls around the office typist's neck while listing his jewels at the agency's offices. The press described the visitor as "one of the wealthiest gem dealers in the world" whose mission was not to sell the jewels but to safely transfer them to representatives of the Romanoff family. His travels in connection with the gems had taken him from Paris to Berlin across to Copenhagen and over to London. The head of one well-known detective agency would not take the responsibility of guaranteeing the safety of the gems in London. The particular quest upon which the man was engaged, it is understood, has ended in London. While here he slept, on the average, three hours each night.
