II is not only in this country that
church restorers are allowed to do
much as they like. An interesting
story comes from Hail. The church Is
under restoration. and the workmen
came across traces of fresco- Its
existence had been unknown, and ac'
cording to the plats the plaster was to
come away. Fortunately townsman
knew a process by which the plaster
could be taken on intact on canvas.
He obtained permission to make the
experiment, and II has been carried out
with success. He is said to be now
