Forging Antiqultes.-Dr. Oliver Tonks
in The Outlook's November magazine
number shows by picture and description
the difficulties Of distinguishing real from
spurious antiquities. Here is one Of his
anecdotes:
One hot day in May party Of us were toll
Ing up a steep ascent in the island of Melos
when we saw above us number of Greeks seat
ed on a parapet Of ruins. We had been cruis-
Ing long enough among the Egean Islands to
know that these people OF the place had seen
our ship drop anchor in the water below. and
We're now waiting to sell us antiquities. At the
sight of these Greeks one of our number, a
tireless Scotch woman, scrambled ahead Of us
to the top, where we could soon see her, wind
blown and outlined against the blue sky, bar
gaining for vase. When we reached the top
after more letsurely climb, she put her pui
chase in my hands and asked me what I
thought Of 1t. My hands moist with rrr-
SEPARATION from the exertion Of the climb, and
for an answer to her question held them out
to her all blackened from grasping the vase.
The sweat had attacked the modern paint with
which 1t was covered and by thus coming of
on my hands the color had betrayed its falsity
The whole vase had been patched up from six or
seven pieces and then painted over to conceal
the repairing
