Since st. Louis was forced to acknowledge, in
census that Chicago has outsrpped
her ia population, attention has been called
which produced this numerical superiority and the
means 10y which more rapid growth be Effected.
The Missouri Emigration Society has issued chart O,

surrounds the city, ana that ST. Louis initiate her

The National Gallery in London has been
hitherto credited with the -o authentic
paintings by Michael AncelO-the "Holy Family ana
the "EnOmbmeHt"-but IL is 81 least possible that this
claim must be abandoned. Mr.. J. c Robinson has re-
Gently printed letter in Tao Lo56oa TDses stating his
conviction that the "EntOmbmeut" was designed by
Baccc Bandinel, Floreutine artist and a oontempo-
rary OF Michael Angelo ana executed by young painter
Agnola Bgio by name, 10 whom Bandneh conscious Of
his deficiencies in the matter Of eolornc commit
ted this and other works. Mr. Robinson supports his
opinion by passage in NassaI1's life of Bandinel de-
seriOng large painting designed by that artist for the
Church of Costello, which Entrusted TO Anolo Rio

generally conceded that prime obstacle In the wav Of
