Professor Furtwrangler thru the mu-

umph Of Constantine. :. Such accidents,
Mrs. Stevenson pleads, occur in ali
great museums. Witness the tiara

and the TanagTa figurines In Boston.
She regrets that Professor Sommerville
should have been duped, but reiterates
her belief in his innocence in these

Lefty. -Z
How He Was Buncoed.
The work Of buncoing Professor
Sommerville was conducted by expert
eneed confidence men. The case Of an
emerald with the device Of Alexander
tanning Bucephalus Is taken as fair
example. He received a letter in
Italian from a traveller in India that
the stone was in a srajah's collection at
Burdwan in Bengal. He did not know
the writer, but he began inquiries. He
learned that the rajah of Burdwan had
had a considerable collection, ;, but on
his recent death it was broken up: :. It
had passed to new owners in, Burmah.
He kept tracing it, always getting a
little warmer, until he finally located it
in SIAM. whittier he personally jour
neyed in its pursuit. Here he met a
man, apparently casually, who led him
to a Chinese broker who had bought
| the stone in the way Of trade and spec
ulation for 10000 rupees. He would
sell it for $4,000 rupees, but was final
ly induced to part with it for $4,000,
and the professor bore it home in tri-
umph. It had been cut in Rome in the
latter part of the nineteenth century,

and had no antiquarian value what
ever.
The business of preparing bogus an
tiquities has, as Is well known, reached
colossal dimensions. But it was re-
served to the gang whose victim Pro-
fessor Sommerville was to raise it to
the dignity Of science. Professor
Sommerville must have been regarded
as the most prolific "easy mark Of
the age. They waited and watched for
his coming, and sent him enticing let
ters, Turing him on tours to search for
gems which they had carefully planted
in out-of- the-way corners Of the world.
Their agents followed him without
his knowing it. They planned deliber-
draw from him the greatest amounts he
would consent to pay for what he sup
posed were valuable gems. Concerning
this clever selling Of gold bricks, Pro-
fessor Sommerville writes in one of his
| books:
|tTime after time have almost ac-
complished transaction with an anti
quarry, obtaining upon advantageous
terms good specimens for my university
collection, when some busybody would
drop in with advice and the merchant
would break off all negotiations unless
I would consent to pay the higher price
suggested by the meddlesome lounger. !"
That this meddlesome lounger, who
always appeared, was part Of great
swindling game, Professor Sommerville
never suspected. He visited the east
more than dozen times and nearly al
ways in response to similar summons.
His errands were always successful.
Assuming the most charitable judgment
his life is pathetic. However much or
little he was deceived, his learning was
no deception. That he loved his chosen
study cannot be doubted. The very
terms in which he wrote Of it betray
not only his idolatry but his erudition.

How the Expose Came About.
The history Of this expose is curious
In ITSELF At the time Of the st. Louis
exhibition Professor Furtwrangler, head
Of the archeologic division of the Berlin
museum, came to this country. He Wis
lied the various museums and returned
to Germany to say that the leading
American museums were filed with
bogus antiquities. He criticised the
Tanagra figures in the New York MI
scum Of Art. They are small terra Gotta
figures, or groups, representing classic
subjects and bear the date Of 300 B. O.,
and were the gift Of the late E. @.
Moore. The museum authorities having
heard of Professor Furtwrangler g icon
oclastic views, declined to open. any of
the cases for him, and his inspection
was, therefore, entirely superficial. In
Boston, however, he demonstrated the
bogus character of similar figures, and
they were ,relegated to d dark closet

some of the gems In the Sommerville

What Sulphur Does

For the Human Body in Health and
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many Of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose Of sulphur and mo1asses every
spring and fall
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpala table, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect. Ill
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur in lpalatable, con
centrated form, so that single grain is
far more effective than tablespoonful
Of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the Best sulphur
for medicinal use is that. obtained from
in drug stores under the name Of Stu
art $ Calcium Waters. They are small
chocolate coated pellets and contain the
active medicinal principle Of sulphur in
highly concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value Of
/ this form Of sulphur In restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health !;
