In League With The Devil

Tremendous excitement was caused

nearly II century and quarter ago.

Italian named Vincent Lunardi, as
cended from Moorfields, then an open
space of ground, on September Is, 1884.

spectators.
All business was suspended, the
king himself setting the example by
adjourning a cabinet council that hap
pened To be sitting. Vast crowds fol-
lowed the balloons course, some on
horseback, in carts, in chaises, but
mostly on foot.
Many were hurt in the crush. but the
only fatality recorded was the death
from fright of an old country woman,
who, coming out of her cottage to sec
what the excitement was about, beheld
the balloon just above her head

EXPERTS FOOLED BY MASTER.
Are Not Always Able to Judge Au-
thenticity of Pictures.

One hears SO much about false "old
masters" and fake art treasures that it
is interesting to recall the following
anecdote, which is youched for by NJ.
Jean Bernard, so we'll informed on all
tnat concerns art and artists. The
story concerns a Rembrandt, which
formerly figured at the Antwerp mu-
scum, under the description of the
Jeune homme a la cuirasse," during
the exhibition of Rembrandt's works.
Today the canvas belongs to the Ger
man emperor. Twenty years ago the
owner Of the picture went to a col
lector, M. Seldemeyer, and showed
MIN the Rembrandt, offering to sell it
10 MIN for $1,000 NJ. Seldemeyer in
turn showed the picture to his usual
experts, who declared it to be an imi-
tation, and the next day it was re-
turned to the owner, with the remark
That he could not get a couple Of
gulneas for it in Paris. The possessor
or the "Jeune homme a la cuirasse"
SAID nothing, but took the picture 10
NJ. Antonin Proust, who at once recog-
nlzed 1t to be one of the best examples
of the great Dutch painter. The Ger
man painter Knauss, purchaser for the
imperial museums, happened to be in
Paris at the time, and when the Rem
brandt was shown to him he immedi-
ately offered to buy it, and the deal
was concluded for $1,000. The trans
action was one which the German en-
peror has never had any reason to re-
greet, for If he wished to sell the pic
ture to-day he could easily obtain
100000.
