A LEAK.
An Invention to Prevent Accidents
to Paintings.

An Invention to Prevent Accidents
to Paintings.
It has been known hat the atmos-
phere plays a most important part in
the deterioration of paintings and wa
ter-color drawings, and frequent at
tempts have been made to neutralize
this action by placing pictures In
But the difficulty hitherto
has been how to detect as unsupported
leakage of air into the chamber, which
leakage, though minute, would OF
course destroy the vacurm and nulllfy
all attempts at preservation. The DIM
Guilty has now been met in a practical
manner by the invention of a simple
but ingenious method Of detecting q
flaw in the vacuum.
The painting, water color or photo
graph is placed in an air tight cham
Der. the front of which is glazed, 4
space being left between the glass n
the picture as we'll as at the back of
the picture. When the air is extracted
from the chamber by means OF a
Sprengel pump, and the aperture
through which the air is drawn Is her
metically sealed, the desired vacuum
is obtained. The important feature of
the invention, however, and that which
renders the system Of preservation
practicable is a little indicator on the
principle of the aneroid barometer,
which is placed out Of sight within
the chamber. From this instrument
depends a small arm or semaphore,
which is in view so long as there Is air
in the chamber, but as the vacuum Is
being created it gradually sinks out OF
sight.
Should the vacuum become impaired
by the leaking of air into the chamber,
the little semaphore comes in sight and
indicates the fact. The defect is thus
detected, and can at once be remedied.
The fact has been established that pig
ments fade generally in moist air, in a
less degree in dry, while In vacuo the
pigment can be exposed to light with
out the slightest fear Of any change
taking place. This invention, therefore,
cannot fail to be Of immense value to
art, as whole galleries Of pictures, pos
sibly Of priceless value, which have
| always shown deterioration from the
injurious influence Of the atmosphere.
The system is said to have received the
approval Of both painters and scient-
lists, and a large number Of pictures,
both public and private, have already
undergone the process of preservation
by this method in England.

The startled look OIL Alan's face re-
called him to himself.
so you want to: marry Hyacinth?'
he resumed. what does the child say?
She was a child when she left ME, and
had no thought more serious than one
about a bow of rit bon or a flower in
her hair. And YOU tell me that in this
short time she has grown from a child
into a woman? What does she say"
"She is here, sir" said the young
lover. Il brought her with Lady Rose
dene. I wished to see you alone be-
fore you saw them. Lady Rosedene
has driven on into the village, but Hya-
cinth is in the garden. Shall I bring
her to you?"
A wonderful light came over the
scholars worn, geEtle face when he
saw the young girl enter the room.
She went up to him quickly, and kissed
his face, hid her own in his breast.
With his hands he raised it in all its
blushing loneliness. He held it up to
the light, and looked at it with keen,
tender eyes.
MY darling" he said, II see it is
true. You left me a child, you have re-
turned a IN A wOman's love
shines in those dear eyes and trembles
on those pretty lips. Is it true you love
him, Hyacinth-this bonny young lover
of yours?"
Il do not want to leave you, father"
| she replied; and both gentlemen smiled
at the naive admission made in those
words.
DO you love this gentleman who
wishes to marry you, Hyacinth:' he
asked, gently, and smiled again half
sadly as he saw the red flush mounting
even to her hair.
Yes, I love him." was the quiet an
swer, and then Francis Vane was ST.
lent.
You see, sir, that it is as I said. I
will take the greatest care of Hyacinth.
I will not take her away from you. I
will be a son to you myself
You are very good,' said the scholar.
And they saw him turn his gentle eyes,
as he always did when he needed coun-
sci, toward the green grave under the
trees. They heard him say something
about Elsie.
After a time he looked down at the
fair young face lying on his breast.
MY darling" he said. you are so
young, so many things might happen;
you might change your mind; you
might repent; and so you ought to give
me time to see that this is really love
and not fancy. At your age, child, it
is difficult TO tell one from the other.
I will agree to the marriage, but it
must not take place until the end of
next year. 1 am not unreasonable in
asking this delay"
After long argument it was decided;
| and Alan was forced to be content.
| After all, it was not unreasonable.
| She was very young, and the months
would pass quickly. How happy they
, would be! He could spend nearly all
| his time with her.

that it may be said to be curious that

the fact that there was a sound in

caves of the Capitol found their coisy chat

and beat a retreat to the Botanical Gar
