DEVICE THAT FolLs FoRGEB
Authenticity Of PaIptinss Now Can BE
Fixed by New Methods Of
Photography.

Important indeed IL the news that
one DR.. Laurie, a London professor of
chemistry, has discovered a method
Of photographing pictures that win
enable him-and other people-to de-
eide with the certainty hitherto lack.
ing whether they are or are not the
works Of the men to whom they have
been ascribed. the New York Times
states.
, Every true art lover knows the
grinding apprehension he is constant
ly In lest by some sad chance he
imagine merit In picture that only
pretends to have been painted by q
great artist. Hardly one critic OF any
eminence or authority has failed to
make this cruelty h%umiliating mistake
at least once, and one Of thom is
quite enough to embitter a lifetime.
Given a single unquestionable anthem
tic masterpiece, DR.. Laurie declares
that he can decide infallibly that an
other Is or Is not by the same hand.
This will raise are criticism to a
new md high level-that of the re.
ceiVing teller in a bank in judging
money-and enable us all to know,
not guess, what pictures to admire
and what to scorn.
