a precious box of rare enamel He sent
it to Vienna to be repaired, and the in
genious member fitted it with a new
lid. Then he put new lower part to
the original lid, and two collectors were
made happy.
A gem cutter took a modern gold
Greek ring, recut the stone with an
intaglio of an important subject, made
a turkey swallow the ring and after
some time killed the turkey. The resi-
dence in the birds crop had endowed
the gem with all the marks of age.
A scholar in little known part of
Dalmatia was seeking gold coins and
ornaments Of the old Servian dynasty.
A dealer came to him with a beautiful

to be a genuine antique In examining
the article with a glass the student
came across tiny inscription, and,
better versed than the dealer gave him
credit for being he read it aloud '"This

the name of the maker it said. The
