Paintings That Last.


One of the great problems that pre-
sents itself to the modern painter is to
keep his canvas from cracking when 1t
ages. Many of the most priced of the
old masterpieces have been marred be-
cause their creators did not understand
the art of insuring them against time
and weathering. A careful investiga-
ton of those that have come down in
tact shows that in some cases the
sheet of paint is remarkably thin, so
thin, indeed, that the texture of the
canvas can be clearly seen through the
face of the picture. Further expert
menting shows that the life o. Il pic
ture is inversey proportional to the
thickness OF its color layers. Canvas
contracts with moisture and cold, and
paint generally is affected in the same
way. II the paint layer Is too thick il
gives way. and the cracking is the re-
suit. All of the old paintings that have
come to us uncracked are painted very
thin. This was the method of such
early masters as Van Dyck. Raphae
and his pupils.-Atlanta Constitution

purposes between Washington and Bal
timore Professor Morse and his asso-

United States government for 100000,

The government had appropriated $780,

Washington Baltimore line, but after a
short period OF operation the postmas-
ter general. to whom President Polk
had referred the matter, wrote, "A-
though the invention is an agent vastly
superior to any other devised by the
genius of man, yet the operation be-

not satisfied me that under any rate OF
