walk away with what is probably
the most valuable art treasure in
the world.
1t was on the morning Of August
%, 1911, that the world was startled
by the announcement that Leonardo
da Yinci's great masterpiece had
been stolen. 1t. disappearance from
fts accustomed place IN the Salon
Care, or Square Salon, was noted on
August q. To some reporters who
inquired intelligently about its dis.
appearance the officials on that day
explained that It had been taken down.
to be cleaned. On the following day
the government decided that Il was
useless to attempt to conceal any
longer the fact that it had been
stolen. It's value was estimated at
100000.
It is Interesting to recall some of
the extraordinary speculations and
theories that were advanced con-
corning its disappearance. Some
argued that 1t was incredible that

calculable value could be taken by
a common thief. They said that
some person of great influence, a
Cabinet Minister or other high Off
cial, had taken the picture TO photo
graph it, had damaged It accidentally
and was keeping 1t until he could
repair 1t.
Another theory was that the mys.

ence OF the picture would prove 10

it and feel a deep and even passion
ate pleasure In the radiations of It's
"enigmatical smile" Women, on the
other hand, are, with equal frequency
repealed by it, and are even stirred
ID hate and fury by the same smile
The partisans of this theory fell
into two groups. One group said
that man mentally disordered by
che strange fascination of the pic
ture must have stolen II to enjoy It's
subtle charms in secret. The other
group argued that a woman had
taken it to vent the rage of her
sex upon it.
One thing became clear from the
mass Of theories and interesting facts
brought out by the episode. The
contents of the Louvre were not, and
never had been, we'll safeguarded.
Pictures worth from S1,000,000 to
S5,0O0,000 could have been pulled off
their hooks at a favorable moment
any day without detection.

Then, on December II, 1915. came
the news that it had been found.
An art dealer informed the director
OF the Uffizi Gallery at Florence that
an italian workman named Nincenzo
Pcrugia had taken the picture and
had 1t in Florence. This statement
was verified and the Mona Lisa"
returned to France.
The confession OF Perugia shows
that the subtle psychological infu-
ence OF this picture had, indeed,
much to do with his act.

In uncovering something over thirty Of
these homes Professor Glider has estab-
lished the general character OF the caves
and their contents. The floor is strewn
with charred sticks, reeds, coarse
grasses and charred corncobs. In tho
floor OF every cave Is found a cache
where most OF the domestic utensils and
the other valuables are hidden. 1t is this
cache that the Archaeological always
seeks. Sometimes there are several in the
same cave. The mouth or the cache is
always found plugged with layer OF
burnt clay. On top OF this is a layer OF
ashes. Beneath ALL the cavity Tidcns

The next protective measure was
TO connect the pictures by rod so
that all those along a certain wall
space can be locked up from one
lock. Formerly every picture hung
separately.
Under the new arrangement each
line of pictures hangs upon one fat
rod b. hooks in the frame, which
only admit the rod when it is turned
edgewise to the opening in the hook.
Then the rod is turned so that the
picture cannot be removed from it,
and is locked in that position.

the spine and abdomen so that the

ON sOL-FAMILY PHYSICIAN.

OLD SOL-FAMlLY PHNSlClAN.
%HERE has been a very general
belief since ancient times In the
curative power of sunshine, But
until recently this was rather a
vague impression than a fact that
could be demonstrated practically,
and could not be explained theoreti-
cally. At the present time, however,
the SUMS curative power is being
demonstrated every day, and this
power can now be explained on theo-
retical grounds. Certain forms of
tuberculosis, running sores, and
"even the hunchback characteristic
of Potts disease" frequently yield
to the sun-ray treatment-properly
applied. For, curiously enough, there
is a proper dosage OF sunshine just
as there is with remedies that come
in pasteboard boxes or bottles.
The specific element responsible
for the curative effect Is the ultra
violet ray, which is relative Of the
X-ray, and one of the younger mem
bers Of the prolific ray family. This
ray may be manufactured expensive
" with man-made machinery, but is
supplied free by the SUMS direct
radlations.
The Swiss scientist, DR.. Roller,
has recently reported 951 complete
cures out Of LOO cases Of surgical
tuberculosis treated at Leysin, Switz-
erland; and still more recently DR.,
Louis Camous has recorded a large
number OF cures by heliotherapy on
the Mediterranean coast. And ex-
periments that are being carried on
at the present time demonstrate that
tthis form Of treatment may be used
anywhere, regardless of altitude or
climate.
An example Of the kinds Of condi-
tons treated, and the method OF
treating them, is shown by a report
Of one Of M. Corneloup's cases OF
tubercular perltonltis, which is a
condition peculiarly resistant to ordi-
nary therapeutic measures, The
patient In this instance was a girl Of
20 in such an advanced stage Of dis
ease that she was incapable Of the
slightest exertion. The treatment
consisted in placing her in a reclln-
ing chair for one hour In the morn
ing and again In the afternoon with
the abdomen exposed, the other parts
Of the body and the face being pro
teeted from the sunlight by clothing
and a screen. Improvement In hel
condition was apparent at once, ant
in four months time sho was com
pletely cured. Yet hitherto her dis
ease had resisted all treatment.

disease, when the same end could
have been accomplished by q surgical
operation. How permanent such cures
are II is too early to say, but II Is
to be hoped that the disease has
beon baffled in every such case The
German surgeons say that such ap-
parent cures are more apparent than
real, as In many cases the disease
