will have a chance to judge for themselves
as to the results obtained. It may be said
in connection with the lasting qualities Of
the color work that remark has been made
on many of the ancient frescoes of Thebes
and other parts of Egypt and their fresh
by many to the climate. But the chances
are that the climate has had less to do with
their preservation than the fact that they
were done in the lasting medium which is
duplicated on the walls of the Sistine
Chapel.

was quicker and the whole result was en-
tfrely satisfactory. 1t was found that the
medium dried almost Immediately and
could be painted over. and that once hard.
all Of the artists pronounced 1t simply lime
juice putty. seasoned through age and
consequently better than the fresh mix
lures they were using.
All agreed In this verdict except Michael
Angelo He was scientist as well as
sculptor and q painter He told himselr
that there was something more to the
mixture than merely ripened age, and af-
ter taking it home and analysing t as
we'll as they could in that primitive day. he
found the secret. that it was not lime juice
putty at all. but substance he named and
gave the receipt for. He found that he
could make 1t fresh better than what was
found in the old jars. and for his purposes
the secret was revealed.
Michael Angeles Secret.
But the question remains to the modern
mind. II the rediscovery was made then.
why was II lost again? Michael Angeles
explanation of 1t is this. None Of the other
artists believed that there was anything
but age to recommend the old medium.
Raphael. Tintoretti and the rest all used
1t, and as It appears the relations between
leading artists In that day were not mora
cordial than they frequently are at present.
Michael Angelo did not press his discovery
on them. but continued to work like the
rest OF inc drIlStS with CNS store OF ma
terial that had been rescued from the crypt
in the Coliseum. There was enough In the
old jars to last out the lifetime Of the other
artists. and they died without knowing
there was q secret. while the secret itself
died with Michael Angelo It was next
brought to light by Mr.. FrIederang's search
Though his diary and personal papers.
This Is the modern medium that is used
in producing the antique" frescoes. The
specimens that have been submitted here In
Washington are not only beautiful pieces
of work from an artistic standpoint. but
they have been subjected to tests with hot
water and other things that show they are
practically indestructibie. Mr.. 'Friederang.
in talking over the rediscovery with Star
reporter. did not admit what the secret
was, but from some of the things he let
drop and some of the researches along the
same line that have been made by other
artists and Psychologists, 1t is a safe guess
that the medium" could be duplicated out
of some of the cheapest and most easily
accessible modern materials. Still, a trade
secret is a trade secret, and it might not
be fair to speculate. 1t may be said, how
ever. that it comes mighty near being
real glass paint.
Work will be commenced in Washington
in a few weeks, and when 1t is done people
