of ex-Police Chief Kouiyabko of sixteen

zling 5000 intended for protecting Stoly-
pin from assassination when at Kief has
lifted bit of the curtain behind which
graft is carried on. The largest sum
In Koulyabko's account passed as ad-
missable was spent on coo police spies
whom he employed for four months
ahead OF the visit of the Gar and Stoly-
pin to Poltava and Kief. These spies
were disguised as peddJers and furnished
with goods to sell peasants wives and
thus get into conversation with the plain
people to ascertain news of plots.
Koulyabko not only charged the police
department with 800 per cent more than
the peddlers' wares cost him, but pock-
eted the proceeds of their sales. With
the downfall of Minister Aarakoff, who
succeeded Stolypin at the Department Of
the Interior, all heads of the political
police who took Office after Stolypin's
murder also were cast out.

TELLS "OLD MASTERS"
BY CHEMICAL PROCESS
English Pofessor Explains New Meth
cd to Detect Art forgeries.
Judges by Materials.
SPECIAL Cable to The Washington Herald.


London. Jan. Methods of detecting
forged "old masters by chemical ex-
animation of the pigments were des-
cribed recently in a lecture TO the Paint
and varnish Society by A. =. Laurie.
professor Of chemistry TO the Royal
Academy. at ST. Bride Institute, London
Information based on the examination
of literary materials. said Mr.. Laurie,
was very imperfect and inaccurate. ana
he described special methods which ne
had devised for terminating microscopic
portions Of known works of art, thus
identifying the pigments used at Vari-
Gus times with absolute certainty.
The lecturer described the results OBJ
tanned with reference ia the palette OF
the uluminators Of ancient MSS. up to
the end of the fifteenth century. and
proceeded to deal with pigments used in
later times, tracing them up to the dawn
Of modern chemistry. He showed how,
apart from its general scientific and his
torical interest, these inquiries were OF
great value in enabling forgeries TO be
detected in works of art
There could be no doubt. said Mr.. Eau
RE. that during the eighteenth century
many furgeries were produced and the
history of the pigments used in earlier
and later times showed that the de-
lection of these forgeries would not be
comparatively easy.
