Its money value? That is some-
thing no one can teli-not even TO
satisfy the Americans natural desire
to know what thing cost. One can
only state that the Meleager ID worth
whatever IT would fetch and. from the
point Of view Of the artist and art
amateur. very much more. To say
that its value Is one hundred thousand
dollars or one million dollars, means
nothing. Enough that this Is In the
estimation Of competent art critics the
most valuable piece OF original stat
uary in the United States; that It
was found several years ago at San
Marineila, 80 miles from Rome and
about 100 yards from the spot where
the Meleager now In the British mu-
scum was dug up; that it now stands
among large number Of casts and a
few other originals in the Fogg muse
