RUBENs DESIGNS.
Two Recently Discovered Tapestries
Missing for Nearly Three Centuries.

George II. White of Boston has
placed i'm the Museum of Fine Arts as
loan to the Western art department,
two tapestries designed by RubenS,
one of which has been missing for
nearly three centuries. He recently
purchased them in New York. The
tapestries are hung IN the Sixteenth
Century Room. These two pieces
formed a part of series of ten illus
trating scenes from the story of Achil-
less life.
Rubens painted the cartoons for the
entire series In the inventory OF his
effects ten pieces were mentioned. but
his father-in-l laws inventory, made
public three Years later, mentioned
only eight. Two sets of engravings
We're made from these panels, the first
by Francois Ertringcr, Antwerp. 1879,
ana the second by Barnard Baron,
London. 1924. These sets of prints
contain only eight designs. In fact,
only eight tapestries We're found, and
of these only tive, which belonged to

ANCIENT THEORY TOPPING.
Scientist Says Hair Cannot Turn
White in a Night.

\ cherished popular belief is that of
the sudden blanching of the hair from
fright worry or other severe mental
strain. 1t plays its part i'm the drama
and in fiction. while history records its
famous instances Who has not heard
that Marie Antoinette's hair turned
white during the night before her ex-
ecution, or that the deeds and terrors
of St Bartholomew's night banched
the hair of Henry the Fourth? Most
OF US wondered how the change could
come about as rapidly as tradition re-
lates. and yet so universal is the be-
lief in this phenomenon that few have
the hardihood to doubt it. And now
Stieda. hard headed German scien-
list boldly says that it isn't so at all
This refractory German first proves
that such a thing couldn't possibly
happen and then, not satisfied, de-
clares that It never did happen. With
equal disregard for folk lore, history
and medical literature, he points the
finger OF doubt and challenges many
long deceased historians and physi-
clans to arise and prove their stories.
He claims that when the hair turns
white under ordinary conditions. it
does so in one OF two ways. Either
the pigmented hairs fall out and are
replaced by unpigmented hairs or less
commonly, pigment production stops
in u growing hair and the coiorless
portion gradually replaces the darker
outer segment. As the growing of a
new crop of hair in a single night is
beyond the possibilities of GVen tho
Seven Sutherland Sisters. Stieda must
needs discredit all tales of such
miraculous transformation. This he
does at length, taking up the best
known instances of such supposed
blanehing of hair, and finding them
all lacking ir support sufficient to
meet critical consideration, much less
such control as to establish an ac-
ceptable scientific demonstration. For
example, he doubts the story of Marie
Antoinette's sudden loss OF hair pig
ment. stating that although the queen
certainly was gray at the time of her
execution, vet this was no novelty, for
she was also gray nine months be
fore, at the time the king met his
