Priceless Treasures Hidden

FTOm IlC-blIS.
 Londoners have borne with great cheer fitness the threat that as a war economy, all museums picture galleries must be shut down. Truth to tell, English people hold their treasures in very low esteem. London is a city with record of thou sand years which has never been sacked by an enemy, and as befits the heart of an empire, the world has been ransacked for her enrichment Our museums and art galleries are caslzets of romance.
 There are the Elgin marbles in the British museum, those sculptures rom the Parthenon, which the Earl of Elgin coveted and bought when he was special envoy at Constantinople. special fir man (mandate) from the Porte authorized him to remove them, but in England a terrific outcry was raised against this act of vandalism.
 The transit difficulties were enormous; the storm of hostile comment was only hushed when England learned that sea- storm had wrecked the Mentor, the ship which bore them, and that the priceless marbles were lying at the bottom of the sea. It took three years labor before the divers recovered them. Elgin finally sold them to the nation for E36,OOO, his own expenditure probably reached t14,0oo
 The Wallace collection was all buried in underground cellars for saresy curing the lawless days of the commune in Paris. The whole story of this collection is a romance. The fourth Marquis Of Hertford suffered from painful disease, and it is said that only the news of the victory of his agents over competitors in the sale rooms alleviated his suffer- ings.
 On his death it was found that the sole heir to his vast estates and marvellous collection was his colleague, rumor said his natural son, Sir Richard Wallace. After the imminent dangers of the com mune. the collection was removed to Lon- don. Sir Richards only son died before him, and his exquisite objects of art were bequeathed by his French wife to the nation. The gift was priceless, and the government, who had refused an offer made by Sir Richard in his lifetime, ac- cepted the widows legacy.
 The famous Peace of Munster picture, which at it's last sale cost 9SS00 (G24 per inch ofsi its small surface). and which hung in the room where the allies signed the peace of 1914, was given by Wallace

One On the Futurist Painter

From the New Republic.
 A we'll known text says that man was not born to live long. But hear this from recent exhibition mani festo:
 If my art is true to its purpose then it should convey to me in graphic terms the feeling which I received in imagin- ative terms. That is as far as the form of my expression is involved. As to its content, it should satisfy my need of creating record of an experience" This self -sufficiency is admirable, but is it really genuine? There was time when art was said to be nature seen through a temperament, but now the only nature the artist recognizes is his own. There was an ancient theory of inspiration which held that the artist mediated between God and man; the modern artist seems content to mediate between God and himself.s In former

to the nation in his lifetime. Yet even this masterpiece was nearly rejected. The director of the national gallery paid scant attention to the shabbily dressed man who called on him, till the greatest collector of his age said quietly: My name is Wallace, and I came to offer this pie ture to the nation."
 Then the director almost fainted. He had nearly refused one of the wonders of the world.
 In the national galleries there are pie lures painted for the sitters to be buried in; pictures to be placed on the mummy cases, to witness for ever to the like. ness of the shrunken embalmed bodies within
 There is Holbein's picture or rne Duchess Christana of Denmark. This court painter had a rowing commission to paint ladies whom Henry VIII pro- posed to marry, and was kept busy at his job. Christiana, however, in vulgar parlance, wasn't having any, and sent the witty retort to the amorous Henry that if she had two heads, she would be at his majesty's service, but, unfortunate Iy: she had only one.

their heartfelt thanks to the many
who came to their assistance in the
recent death of husband and father.
The people about Cane Valley, near
where the accident occurred, were es-
pecialIy kind and attentive, and also
the residents of Chenille where the
interment took place. Many of the
friends of DR.. Taylor, deceased, who
reside at East Fork, heard the intel
ligence of his demise with sorrow,
and we're here to pay their last re-
spects to the one who had been their
steadfast friend. The floral offerings
which were sent in by lady friends of
the family we're beautiful and affec-
tionately appreciated. Such kindnesses
as were bestowed will never be for
gotten by weeping companion, son
and daughter, and may God bless
them all is the prayer of the stricken
family.
