Washington. D. G.. June 20 =
New regulations governing the
interstate movement of live stock
will become effective Iu,y 1. 1914
These changes are designed bv

B. A |. Order l43. deal with
the shipment Of cattle from tick.
infected areas. with the move
ment Of swine from public stock
yards and with the dipping OF
cattle and sheep for scabies.
Under the new regulation,
cattle that have been dipped
once under state or federal sup.
ervision may be shipped from an
area quarantined for ticks to a
market center, where there are
proper dipping facilities and the
department maintains an inspect
or. There. after a second dip
ping, cattle may be sold for any
purpose.
The provision permitting trans
portation of hogs from public
stock yards into interstate com
merce has been made possible by
the discovery BY government
scientists Of a serum which rend-
ers swine immune to hog cholera.
Hitherto all the stock yards have
been considered as infected with
tins disease. As a result of this
it is expected that thousands of
lightweight hogs will be sent
from the stock yards to the coun-
try for fatteningland the countrys
production of pork will be
greatly increased thereby.

Strange History Of One Of "Lost
Canvases" Which Have Been Found

Literary Digest: For many years
the famous religious painting by Carlo
Dolci called Salome With the Head Of
John the Baptist, has been missing. 1t
has been c~atalogued among the lost
convases'' of the world and diligent
indeed has been the search for 1t.
Dolci was an Italian painter of the
seventeenth century. He did not both
er himself with trivial or secular sub
iects, but all his paintings have a deep
religious feeling.
It had been noted by critics that his
painting called Youth and Love,
which has been hanging for years in
the Memorial hall in Philadelphia,
was surprisingly out of tune with the
res of his works. Now it transpires
that this picture is none other than
the famous lost painting Of Salome.
Here it has been hanging under the
very eyes-or under the very noses, Of
the connoisseurs and art experts-and
they never smelt a rat. The case
is one Of the most interesting Of the
sort on record. Not ~infrequentiy old
paintings have been covered up with
q later production and thus lost, y
sometimes they nave been deliberately
disguised in order that they might be
saved to posterity from the irreverent
destroying hands of. Taobs or warriors.
] But seldom has there been SO striking.
an instance Of disguise as this brought
to light.
The picture was purchased In Eu-
rope In 1904 and presented to the city
of Philadelphia. Recently it required
cleaning and the Italian artist en-
ployed to do the work discovered that
the picture had been tempered with.
The painting of the fruits OF the sal
yer on the table ana that of the gar
land OF flowers held by the Cupid APP
peared to be of a. diffepent texture and
later date than the rest Of the work.
A little scraping revealed the fact
that these fruits ana flowers had been
added to the picture by some later ar
fist, and when the whole mass Of sup
erimposed paint was cleaned off the
startling discovery%was made that here
was the long lost painting of ssaloSae.
The fruits were transformed into the
severed head OF John the BAPTIST,
while In place OF the garland carried
by the supposed Cupid there was "a
white scroll bearing the Latin inscrip-
tion. ''P5arate Viam Doraini'', or ."Pre-
pare the Way of the Lord.
The boy this had been intended for
an angel, and not for Cupid. Hind
