tn ARTS, Nov. Paris has a new
wonder in the Museum of Orien-
tai Art, opened two weeks ago in
the Avenue Velasquez. 1t is by
far the greatest exhibition of the
kind in the world. and it is the Govern
nent's intention to make it an annex
Of the Louvre, where it will remain a
nroninent display. 1t is not only at
tracing attention among ordinary
sightseers. but hundreds of artists and
connoisseurs of Europe are visiting II
daily. Although the admission price at
the opening was five francs, the nails
were crowded almost to suffocadon, es-
pecially in the vicinity of the magnln-
cent statue of Buddha, which is said to
be the largest in the world outside OF
the Orient.
The collection was bequeathed by M
Henri Cernuschi and the story connect
ed with it's origin and the quest for the
great Buddha is full of the romance Of
the collector, generously splced
with adventure and peril. NJ Henri
Cernuschi, an Italian by birth and
French by adoption, was possessed of
the genius of the artist combined with
the indefatigability of the born cOllec-
tor. He was a man of vast means, and
being exiled from his country for politi-
cal reasons, he went to the Orient, ar
irving in the time of the social upheav-
al and undermining revolution of 1858.
That revolution brought about
changes of every sort. Long estab-
ushed systems of authority, as well as
immense fortunes gathered under the
old feudaI power, melted away as snow
in the sunshine. It was unique occa-
sion for gathering precious works Of
art and for laying hands on religious
objects which hitherto 1t had been sac
riIege to touch. Temples were invaded
and idols and sacred vessels were pur-
chased before the new government had
