The Venus Of MILO.

The report that the arms Of the Venus
of Milo haye been discovered is confirmed
by letter received at the State Depart
ment from General Meredith Read, our
Charge d'Affaires at Athens. He writes
that they were found on the Island of
Milo, at distance of less than 30 feet
from the place where the statue itself
was found in 1890. He says: 1.-THE arms
are exquisitely modelled; one holds kind
of disk or shield. The workmanship and
the locality compel even the skeptical To
the authenticity of these
wonderful relics" General Read adds
1T is not little singular that the news
of the death Of the finder of the famous
Venus V,ctrix of Milo, DOW in the Louvre.
has just reached Greece the moment when
the other portions Of that great work Of
art are being brought to light"
