An Art Gallery Experiment.

An interesting experiment is now In
progress in South HenSington museum.
Il relates TO showing pictures under ar
tifcial light without changing the
color. Capt. Abney has so arranged It
that the most important actinic rays
OF light are excluded. 1t is on the prin-
ciple that while the rays which cause
the paintings TO fade are excluded
the effect OF white light is OBJ
tanned. The method adopted is the
closing of a skylight with alter
nate layers of green. blue and yellow
glass. Visiting artists declare that
the pictures exhibited under this light
are seen in their true colors. The pub
lie has not the least idea that there is
any difference between the lighting OF
this and that of any other gallery. The
experiment is being tried in what Is
known as the Raphael cartoon gallery.
