the Jaluzot sale was an immense milf
tary canvas shown ut the salon in
1877 by NJ. Jean Paul Laurens, The
Austrian staff Marching Past the Body
of Marceau" (l520l. Perhaps the chief
interest in the picture is curious but
true story told about it. When shown
at the salon IL was much admired, but
no one felt inclined to buy till at last
Nj. Turquet, then director of fine arts,
TO encourage the painter purchased it
out of his own pocket. Soon after a
man called upon him. saying that no
knew he would like to get rid of il
and offered Il handsome sum. Nj. Tur-
quot accepted at once. but his visitor
added that there was one essential con-
dition to the bargain--"Make me "A
knight of the Legion of Honor" The
official was shocked, but the visitor
went on: "You need not mind am
not l'renchman, but an American
citizen. Give me the red ribbon and
say ii Is a reward for services rem
dered to French art" The official was
persuaded. the picture changed hands
and the buyer became and is still Il

Some remarkably fine views of specially in

new observatory at Mount Wilson. which was
constructed with great difficulty in an almost
inaccessible position will be of immense benefit
to solar research. Recent Photographic work on
the heavens has revealed not only the countless
thousands of stars which record themselves as
small points on the negative, but also the exist
ence of dark portions of the sky in which no
stars. or very few, visible. The arrangement
OF some OF these apparently starless spaces has
given rise to the opinion that dark matter exists
