VANISHED TREASURES.
Masterpieces OF Art That Are Lost
to the World.

The "Venus de Milo" which has been
In the Louvre for many years is, as all
the world knows, an imperfect piece of
sculpture, though it is the greatest
treasure of its kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts About 1878 the most important
of them-the right arm-came to light
in London and was proved by experts
to be genuine. The owner, however,
refused to part with it and concealed
it for fear it would be stolen. Unfor-
tunately he died without revealing its
hiding place, so it is as much lost as
ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
1880 and brought to Europe has mirac-
ulously disappeared. On it is engraved
the whole history of the Pharaohs, and
it could easily be sold for 100000. In
fact, the French government offered a
reward of $4,000 for its discovery, but
the famous cup has vanished, probably
forever.
Another treasure which has vanished
in as strange a way is the Marcella
vase of the Dresden collection. This
is the only piece missing from the ia
nous Dresden Marcella collection, the
value of which is said to be $4,000.
1t bears the cross arrows and the lions
head. Not long ago the vase was said
to be in England, but, be that as it
may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price in
reason for it.

large as a painting could be lost sight
of entirely is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. One of Reyn-

which is considered his best portrait,
has disappeared. Not long after 1t
was painted it disappeared from the
collection of the Earl of Derby and

it would bring S150,000 to the finder.
There are also two Vandykes and a
Rembrandt missing, for which collect
ors are willing to pay 100000. The

Intellect In Sex

The common impression that the av-
erage man is superior to the average
woman Intellectually at least in origi-
nality, inventiveness, reasoning power
and the like Is beyond doubt due to the
common habit of judging each sex by
its most superior representatives. This
seems fair enough and would be fair
enough, but for the difference between
the sexes in varlability-that is, the
range of spreading down from and up
above the average, in intellectual traits
at least the male sex is the more varia-
BILE group. The very highest and very
lowest marks in mixed college class
will commonly be given to men; the
variability found among boys in the
numerous mental tests which have
been given by psychological investiga-
tors is from to 10 per cent greater
than that found among girls. OF the
thousand most eminent intellects of
history 81 per cent are men, the varia-
bility which causes the monopoly of

To make utility the vehicle of beauty
is a chief end in civil art, says the
Century. Use and beauty have too
commonly been regarded as necessarily
separated attributes! Things of utility
must be commonplace, and it is imma-
terial If the commonplace be ugly; its
very ugliness makes us appreciate all
the more the beauty of things rare,
kept precious and apart-that is the
view the multitude has been led to
take, and from which even many ar
lists are not exempt. 1t was an old
fashioned custom to isolate all the nice
things of the household in the best
room, which was too precious to live
in. But the modern practice is to
make the whole house as beautiful as
possible. We now see that just be-
cause the 'best room" went used, its
contents deemed beautiful, really made
1t q chamber of horrors. A forced ia
miliarity with ugliness dulls the taste
for beauty. So unless the eyes are
wonted to the beautiful by seeing 1t on
every side, resident In the most COM
mon things, beauty at Its best cannot
be given to the things set apart to wear
1t as garment of state, as in statues,
monuments and public buildings.
