Cunninn in Art.

We have heard so much about graft
and dishonesty and the shame of our
cities" that many of us firmly believe
that ours is the wickedest of the ma.
tons of the earth. To destroy myth
Is thankless task, for people believe
what they want to believe and are apt
to resent any attempt to rob them OF
their pleasure and satisfaction in so
doing. Nevertheless some of us are
glad to learn from time to time that
graft and cunning are not unknown
in the older countries nor in the older
of the noble families.
Sonic time ago an American mil
llonaire coveted a noble painting by
Raphael that hung in the gallery of a
princely Italian home. The family re-
fused TO part with 1t, declaring that
the government would not allow the
priceless treasure to leave the coun-
try But the millionaire determined
to buy it, and then the owner offered
to paint snow scene over the cam
vdN and ship 1t to New York, where
IT. could be cleaned and restored. This
was done, but the cleaners used tur-
pentine, which removed not only the
snow scene but the Raphael painting
as well, and revealed a fine portrait
OF Marconi underneath.

BREAD THAT'S ALWAYS FRESH
Scientists Have Come Forward With
Valuable Contribution to Food
Supply Of the People.

What man in the street knows or
cares anything about yalency? Or
perceives in, let us say, the allotropic
notifications of sulphur an analogy 10
anything of practical interest to him.
Yet these things have much to do
with our daily bread, and may figure
largely in the statement of some bak.
ers' strike.
Thus Prof. Katz Of Amsterdam, IN
studying the question of what chem
lists call valency, has been inyestigat-
ing the influence of temperature upon
chemical reactions. He finds that the
fresh bread which most men prize and
the stale bread which only some dys-
pepiics tolerate are simply modifica-
lions of the same substance, COM
parable with the aforesaid allotropie
notifications of sulphur But what
causes the change? Nothing but the
change of temperature. II bread Is
kept at high temperature it remains
unchanged. Or Ii it is Immediately
reduced to a very low temperature
and is ! pt there. the chemical chang
es are SO slow and slight as to be
negligible.
1t is therefore proposed in Holland
10 utilize this discovery through the
establishment of large storage ware
houses, either hot or cold, in which re-
serves of bread shall be accumulated
and kept perpetually fresh, for use
in case OF such emergencies as a gen,
eral strike of bakers or a temporary
scarcity of supplies OF grain. There
could scarcely be better illustration
of the relationship between some OF
the most abstruse researches in sci
ence and the most familiar needs OF
everyday life.-New York Tribune.

SEEMS MOST FABULOUS SUM

A French statistician has just COM

name.
