ONDON, February 14.-(Special.)-A
new version cf the Mona Lisa
- Leonardo da Vinci's famous paint
ing which has just been returned to the
Louvre. has been discovered in the pos
session of John r. Eyre, a novelist living
in Isleworth. near London. 1t is pic
ture of extraordinary interest varying
consirerably from the Louvre version. and
showing the columns on either side, men
toned by yasari the carly ltaiian arr
historian, as bein Gin the original pic
<ure 1t is a significant fact that these
columns are also shown in the drawing by
. Raphael from memory of the Mona
lisa" and which Muntz includes IN ms
authoritative biography of da Vlncl, ana
regarding which he says one ue.aai
which has been voerlooked is that the
portrait is enframed by two peau'nu vi
painted columns; these arc hidden py the
frame" As matter OF 1act tnere ar
no columns in the Louvre painting. The
old copy belonging to Richardson, and
which was compared with the Louvre pic
ture in 1850 at Colpels house. was iden-
teal with the Louvre version in every
particular.
The Isleworth work is said to be contem-
porary with the Louvre picture ana much
larger, and already there are critics VINO
say that it even has claims for serious
reconsideration as the original masterpiece
@1f Leonardo. The owner, however, 10
content that the work should be judged
on its own merits, but holds that 1t Is
1ntrinsically more beautiful work OF ART
than the famous Paris picture.

which is absent in the newly dscov-
cred version. while the line of the jaw
is not cut In so suddenly against the
chin. The hair which falls over the
left shoulder is hardly indicated against
the left breast, thus differing from
the Louvre picture. The hands appear
more rhythmic and perfect in draw
ing. and the whole picture is indeserb-
ably beautiful.
The new discovery Is Of such inter-
est that it is as well to quote certain
authorities who refer to incidents in
Laonardos working life Muntz states
"As early as 1901. Fra Pietro de Nuvo-
lrria reports in one of his letters to
The Marchesa Isabella D'Este, that two
OF Leonardo's pupils We're painting por-
traits which he occasionally worked
upon himself" Also, lit is hardly prob
able that the portrait of Mona Lisa
was the female portrait ordered by
GuiIiano de Medici, and seen in Leon
arGo's studio by Cardinal D'Aragon In
1916"
Mrs. Heaton states in Leonardo and
His Works" that Chaumont Frances
co del Gioconda, the husband of Mona
Lisa does not seem to have commits
stoned the portrait, at least it remained
with the painter until he sold 1t to the
French King for 1000 crowns, an enor-
nous sum at that time AS there
were two portraits mentioned by Leon
ardo himself 1t may be very reasonably
Supposed that one or more replicas
were produced. as was usual in artists
studios of the period, and that it was
not necessarily the original which tn,
French King purchased from tn,
master.
That is what Varsari himself says OF
the effect of the picture: "In this por-
trait of Leonardo's, on the contrary

Mandan, N. D., Jan. 12.-The above
is h heading of a petition addressed
TO the board Of city commissioners OF
Mandan, which has aroused intense
interest,
Levi Romeo is the sponsor for the
petition which made its appearance
on Monday. When questioned con-
corning it, he said 81 do not intend
to push this petition until after the
brought against City Auditor Lee
Nichols which will be held next Sat
urday.
L believe that Mandan could re-
vert to the aldermanic system OF
government to a great advantage"
City officials who have been in
tervieWed declare that they can see
no reaSon for a reVersion to the old
style of running affairs of the city,
A number Of business men have eX-
pressed themselves the same way.
A number Of the men who are
supporting the petition declare that
the city is too much in debt, through
public improvements. Others declare
the sewer and w~aterworks project,
as we'll as the paving work, would
never have been accomplished under
the old system.
1t Is hardly possible that a special
election will be called, even though
enough signatures are secured to the
petition, for, the statute in this con-
nection declares a special election
unnecessary when a petition for such
is filed less than three months pre-
vious to a general city election.
The neXt election will be held in
Mandan during the month Of April,
n it is not believed that enough
signatures could be secured during
the present month to call a special
ballot on the question.
