IN PECULIAR PLACES.
Priceless Pictures That Have Been
Found in Queer Localities.

From Tit-Bits.
The recently reported discovery OF
the famous Duchess of GainsborouCh
painting in the cellar of house at
Chelsea is a striking instance of the
peculiar places in which works of art
by old Flemish and Italian masters
have been discovered. II would, in
deed, come as a great surprise to those
art masters to know the almost degrad-
Ing circumstances under which their
pictures have been found.
A curious case came to light a short
time ago regarding one of David Ten
iers' famous works of art. A picture
dealer found it among u quantity Of
canvases which a secondhand dealer
was exhibiting for sale at Montmartre.
The dealer had put them on one side
as worthless, and the collector, glanc-
ing through them, came across one
which was a genuine painting by Ten
iers. All doubt of It's authenticity was
removed when the monogram OF the
famous Flemish master was traced in
the corner of the picture.
One of Titian's finest pictures has
been discovered in a most peculiar
place. 1t is owned by some half-castes
in Mexico, and adorns one of their
churches. Fabulous sums have been
offered for it by artists who have been
to examine this painting, but the own
ers will not part with it. It is guarded
in a most careful manner. and every
visitor is accompanied by an Indian
while the picture is being viewed. Ex-
perts who have seen 1t agree as to it's
genuineness. The painting is sixteen
feet long by seven feet high, and is a
scene of the entombment of Christ. Its
state of preservation is marvellous, con-
siderng that more than 800 years have
elapsed since the artist painted 1t.
Not long ago a genuine Van Dyke
was discovered in that painters native
city, Antwerp, in a most singular man
ner. IH one of the poorer neighbor-
hoods two houses partly collapsed,
which necessitated their being demol-
ished together. While the work was I'm
operation one of the workmen came
across a very dirty painting, which he
threw on one side with some other rub
bsh.
One of the other men, who had a little
talent for painting, took 1t home, with
the intention OF cleaning It. He was
amazed at the exquisite coloring, and
thinking that he might perhaps be able
to sell il, consulted a picture dealer.
The dealer gave him a small sum for
the canvas, and a few days later an
eminent artist passing the shop recog-

rest in a hut owned by man who lived
