SIeepIessness

The reason for this remarkable re-
suit is because the functions cannot
work properly when there is accumu-

The "J. b.. L. Cascade, by the
simple process of properly applying
warm water, eliminates all this waste
and causes the functions to work

expertc, but, nevertheless, the argument
was used as a basis for impossible terms
laid down by the jury for continuance, and
rather than accept these terms the artist
refused to proceed. The result has been
to keep the famous National Gallery OF
Independence Hall closed for nearly three
years.
But. besides the National Gallery and
the Wilstach collections Of paintings at.
Memorial Hall, which had also been ex-
amined by Professor Farina. Philadelphia
has many other notable accretions. The
fathers OF many Of Philadelphia's present
millionaires, who made their money in
traction enterprises, in coal and iron mines
and on the stock exchange. celebrated
their entrance into wealth by spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars upon art.
Joseph Widener, the son of old p. a. B.
Widener, who was one of the most inde-
fatigable OF these purchasers. declared re-
Gently that one art swindler had put
over five million dollars worth of spurious
paintings on American collections within
The last six years. With this fact in mind
and knowing OF Professor Farina's dis
coveries, sons and heirs began to get nerv-
Gus about the actual value of those collec-
tions which had come down to them from
their fathers. In consequence. the expert
has been engaged recently in examining
a number of the private galleries.
AS has been said. the three cases illus
rrated on this page have been picked out
from a number because, while they do
rot embody a complete presentation of
The discoveries, they do provide a very
iliuminative partial lesson
The case where picture gained double
value is illustrated by the photographs in
the centre Of this page. This hangs in the
galleries of the Wilstach collection at
Memorial Hall. It was unquestionably the
work Of the old master named Carlo Dolci
1t was listed under the title Of Youth and
Love"
Experts and connoisseurs of art recog.
nized its authenticity, but in no catalogue
of Dolci's work nor anywhere could be
found the description OF such a picture as
this or one with any such title. There
was one called "Salome with the Head OF
Great Britain Rights Reserved.

duction Of the angel mot a Cupid into
the composition. Painted on canvas"
In the second example we have a really
exquisite and genuine masterpiece lost
forever. Carucci, or as they called him in
his time III Ponlormo," lavished all his
skill on this Madonna. II was critically
regarded as one of the finest examples Of
Florentine pictorial art. CaruccTs time
was from 1894 to 1851
When the restorer got the painting it
was covered with layers Of dark. Iirty,
muddy brown accretions.
In cleaning, signs of a figure in the in
ner angle of the left elbow claimed the
artists eye and beneath II Pontormo's
heavy imposts he found an old mans
head painted with miniature-like care
The head of st. Peter. The painting be-
meath 1t was even rarer and a century
older than the Madonna.
With true antiquarian zeal the artist at
once proceeded to destroy the Pontormo
picture in order to reveal an unknown
artists conception Of Christ in Geth-
semane
Carucci, seized with an inspiration but
lacking fresh canvas. had simply taken an
old picture that he happened to have. COW
cred it with a background and painted his
Madonna upon it.

Now, there is nothing in this painting

garlanded basket of fruit, and a plump
Cupid beside them. to suggest the grisly
story Of the martyred saint. But look at
the companion picture, Yes. that was the
actual lost painting of Dolci, and one of
the greatest mysteries of art ceased to be
a mystery.
What had happened apparently was this:
Some sensitive soul who had possessed
the painting had objected to the contents
OF the platter. Another artist had eamou-
faged its unpleasantness and turned a.
tragedy into luncheon.
or this Professor Farina says:
a deeper study OF the subject. a closer
examination of the general physical con-
dition of the painting, followed by an
analysis of. some Of the pigments; deeper
study Of the probable meaning it was in

there was no place for them.
"The elimination of the modern colors

head of John the Baptist in a wonderfully
good state of preservation.

Y TERY astonishing and, to their owners
" and the art world at large, shock
ing discoveries have been made re-
Gently among the paintings of some very
famous American art galleries, particularly
in Philadelphia.
These revelations have, come about
through efforts to restore certain 'old
masters" which had become so old that
either the paints were cracking or had be-
come so faded and discolored as to render
the composition almost indistinguishable.
In the course of this restoration process
were revealed not only ingenious tricks of
modern and semimodern art swindlers,
but of the old masters themselves, who
seem to have had the habit Of picking up
any piece Of canvas handy, covering what
ever picture was on it with a background,
and then painting their masterpieces
upon it.
Three striking instances are shown on
this page, and they are but three OF many.

on Monday evening in honor of the

France, when 10000 prisoners were
taken and 1850 square miles of
territory was reclaimed from the Ger
mans. Patriotic songs were sung by

ton by Rev. Scott, after which a
stirring address, full of good loyal
sentiment, was delivered by Prof. R.

a big parade in which old and young
took part. The image of the kaiser,
trailing behind one of the autoes. was
an interesting feature of the parade,
and this was finally cremated in the
street while the boys gathered around
and pelted it with fire crackers.
