The Galliera museum. presented to
the CRY OF Paris by the Genoese duch-
ess. whose name was given TO II. and
which contains one OF the richest art
collection in the wolrd, is TO be fur
ther enriched by vast and most IN
teresting collection OF Russian curios do
mated by the famous explorer. Baron
De Baye, who had altered them dur
ing his many visits to out-of-way cor
ners of the great Russian empire, says
the Paris Nouvele.
Other Partisan treasure houses have
benefited at various times by miscella-
neous collections made anA presented
by Baron DE Baye; but his latest gift
to the city OF Paris surpasses all his
others i'm size. artistic character, anti
guilty, quaintness and general value.
The collection viii exhibit more
thoroughly than, perhaps, was ever
done before in the world, tSe wide
rane in artistic work to which the peo-
pie OF the smaller villages and country
sections OF Russia have excelled Tor
centuries. No particular field or art
monopolizes the collection. but every
possible class of decorative work is com
prised in furnishing thus a historic
compendium of the evolution or the
mighty race of which less is known
than of any other great race OF Eu-
rope.
Jewels in all familiar metals and
some that are comparatively unknown;
woven stuffs. the quality, color and de-
sign OF which have been rarely seen
outside of Russia: homespun fabrics or
extreme quaintness and others or re-
gal gorgeousness, laces. embroideries
and filigree work: carved wood or a.
workmanship as fine as the best Flor
entine. and others OF a handicraft that
Is captivating I'm it's oddness; an inf
mite variety of all sorts of arms. OF an
tique and modern models; huntsmens
weapons, which the ordinary European
and Americon nimrod would never sus-
pect the use of;queer agricultural tools,
locks of all kinds. some mysterious In
their working and others of the high
est class of ornamental artisanship;
vestments of priceless value, as well
from the gold threads and jewels used

artistic worth: reliquaries OF styles OF
work long obsolete: enamels in fantas-
tic patterns: ems and rare stones,
found nowhere outside OF Asiatic Rus
sia-all these things and thousand
more will be found In the De Baye coll

Theunquestioned fact that in Russia,
as elsewhere throuhout the world. old
time industries. customs and costumes
are disappearing under the utilitarian
influences of this age of railroads and

George r. Newton has solved a mys-
tery-one that has puzzled him all the
many years that he has been a dweller
in the widest districts of the Rocky
Mountains. He made this announce
ment to Deputy Game Commissioner
Holland yesterday. says the Denver Re-
| publican Mr.. Newton is superinten-
dent OF Glen Beulah Park, a game pre-
serve of 900 acres. situated In Mesa
Beque, which is leased from the state
by Glen Beulah Park association. in
which are several Denver sportsmen.
For years / have been bothered to
know how a mountain lion carried a
carcass of a deer after II had killed its
prey began Mr.. Newton. He paused
as II to allow Mr.. Holland or anyone
else present TO tell him that 1t was no
mystery, but no one spoke. Mr.. New
ton Is the typical mountaineer. During
this interval he held his big. round
sombrero I'm his left hand and with his
right stroked "A few grayish locks that
persisted I'm falling over his uncommon-
ly white forehead. He must wear his
hat always when at home, for his face
under the line which the hat reaches
was as bronzed as an Indians. He sat
attentively waiting for a minute or
two, then began:
But l learned all about IL a day or
two before 1 left home. l had been on
the trail leading to the Flat Tops; you
know the trail. Holland When / was
up near Rim Rock. near the end of our
fence, saw a mountain lion In the trail
I'm front OF me, and what do you link?
The lion was carrying a fine young
buck, slung over his shoulders. He
held to the back OF the deer with his
jaws. turning his head TO one side, like
that" Mr.. Newton turned his own
"head In imitation OF the attitude of the
lion.
las he trotted along. the feet OF the
deer treaked in the snow, forming the
queer tracks that have so long puzzled
me. / knew always what the tracks
were, but l could never make out how
that deer was carried so that more of IL
did not trail on the ground.
When the lion caught sight of me IL
dropped the deer and skunk off into the
sage brush-they are cowardly whelps.
During last summer j discovered no
less than thirty carcasses OF deer that
had been killed by lions and bears.
These brutes have a way of getting into
the park that would surprise you. The
south end OF the park. you know. Is
fenced, purposely to keep them out.
and they can't get In over the Flat
cipitate for 80 to rs feet i'm places. But
the woven-wire fence was built
through thickly wooded part, and In
places large trees were taken advan-
tage of as posts. The lions and bears
climb up one side of the tree until
they are above the fence. then let
themselves down on the other side"
