London Chronicle.
An interesting new chapter has been
added to the romance of masterpieces
by the discovery in London of what Is
thought to be a long-lost original by
Raphael. He painted in the last year
of his short life Holy Family,
which was regarded by succeeding
generations as one of the best OF his
works. Several versions of 1t have long
been known under the title OF La Ma

ing at Bridgewater House, but all
these are thought to be copies by
Raphael's pupils.
Lately, however. Mr.. I. Crome OF
Crosby Square has come into posses
sion of a picture which, after mucn
research, he considers to be the veri-
table Holy Family" that Raphael
himself painted in 1920 for Isabella

who Is descending a hill toward a
broad valley, and turns to look back
at the group. Mr.. Crome, who was good
enough to show the picture to a Daily
Chronicle representative in the city
yesterday, relates the following partic-
ulars of it's romantic history.
The late owner of the picture ac-
ouired IL. as we'll as Flight Into

tors of Colonel Landmann. r. E., who
fought in the Peninsular War. How
he came into possession of these works
appears from a paper left by him,
which runs thus:
I'm the year 1911 I was stationed
by Lord Liverpool, secretary for the
war Department. at Corunna. with a
special commission from the (king) to
keep his lordship informed on all mill
tary and diplomatic matters which
could assist him in forming a correct
knowledge of the stale of the war In
the peninsula.
THE position then held necessarily
placed me in direct correspondence
with the Duke of wellington and the
leading commander OF the guerrilla
parties then scattered over the north of
Spain. OF these the celebrated General
Nina was one of the most daring and
most successful.
Toward the latter part of 1871 re-
ceived from Nina a box containing pic
lures. which he had captured from an
escort carrying them off TO Paris to be
placed In the gallery of the Louvre, and
requesting me to dispose OF the said
pictures among my English friends.

Crome has found that Holy Family"
by Raphael. answering precisely to the
description OF his picture, was in the
King of SPANS collection In Its and
1893, but is not mentioned in any in-
ventories later than the Penfnsu1ar

Peru and bounded on the other side
by the richest parts of Brazil and the
Argentine Republic. The country lie
chiefly made UP of the high plateaus
and mountains of the Andes. which are
rich in all sorts of minerals and are
valuable also for agriculture and stock
raising. On the northwestern bound
airy lies Lake Titicaca, a great inland
set in the tops OF the Andes. now
reached by a railway from Mollendo
on the Pacific coast of Peru. Farther
over are the headwaters of the Benz

gil has just contracted to build rail-
road which will give Bolivia access to
the Madeira and down that river to the
Amazon and the Atlantic ocean. On
the southeast is the Argentine Repub-
lie, with railroads almost to our bound
airy, and on the south and west Chile,
with a railroad six hundred miles
long, connecting some of our richest
mineral regions with Antofasgasta.
That railroad now crosses the Chilean

HOW TO TAP
YOUR ELOQUENCE

Most of the noted public speakers get
the popular credit of being able to de-
liver the oratorical goods without hav-
ing committed to memory more than the
skeleton of their speeches. This idea
is DISCOURAGE to laymen who find, if
called on for an impromptu speech
even in a familiar and friendly gather
ing, that they are struck dumb-unable
to untangle their thoughts.
Such should attend to an account of
the strange and ingenious methods of
the Hon. Martin W. Littleton, borough
president of Brooklyn, who made the
