VANDALISM OF FRENCH
CHURCH ART DISPROVED
Sale of Window Here for
$4,000 Started Outcry.

Tho Ministry OF Fine Arts has defi-
nitely disproved the recent outcry from
rervid patriots that wicked American
collectors were buying UP the finest old
stained glass windows of French cathe-
drals TO ornament modern American
homes. The cry arose over the sale i'm
New York last winter of thirteenth
century window In the Henry c. Law
renee collection for $4,000. The window
was said to have been taken from a
church in Beauce, an ancient province
of which Chartres is the capital hence
French connoisseurs raised the cry that
vandals were robbing cathedral treas
ures.
A we'll known authority, T. dc Nelly.
has published an article in the Rerue de
PArt claiming to have established by
measurement that the design of the
genuine window had been secretly re-
moved and replaced by a spurious copy.
The Ministry OF Fine Arts now publishes
the report OF Paul Boeswillwald, inspec-
tor general Of historic monuments, CIV
ing the difference In detail and proving
conclusivcly that the window sold in
New York could never have been in the
Chartres Cathedral and that the only
resemblance IS the -four lobed design OF
the framework and even this Is markedly
different In shape.

Paris Dancer Claims Damages

Just how badly can feminine bust be-
marred by a surgeons knife before its
peculiar aesthetic charm suffers? Any
one considering himself an expert on
such problems will be welcomed by
Prof. Hartmann, noted Paris surgeon. to
whom has been referred a Solomonlike
task growing out Of the charges made in
a Paris court by Mile. Beturis, dainty
dancsr. that she suffered damages to
the extent of many thousand francs be-
cause of the unslSilful work of DIR.
Gosset, who processes to be the worlds
greatest bust reducer.
In the days when private as well as
theatrical robes were cut deep behind
and in front Mile. Beturis was not wor-
ried about her bust, as the lower the
dress TIN, more her dancing was ap-
plauded. But when fashion dictated
merely slight decolletage Mile. Beturis
glanced down one night and decided
that her girth under the arms was big
ger than It should be. DR.. Gosset, when
he was appealed to, admitted that the
operation might be painful and costly,
but that otherwise it was certain to be
satisfactory and that Mile. Beturis
would leave the clinic with figure that
would be tina envy of all music hall fa-
vorites. But after the operation. ac-
cording to the charges. while some of
tho surgeons promises were fulfilled,
two largo as well as several small scars
gave evidence that something had hap
pened.
"Aisthetically I am ruined was the
plea of Mile. Beturis befors Judge Ber-
trim, and she offered to demonstrate to
the court that she knew what she was
talking about. The Judge. however. adj
mitted that he did not know much about
aesthetics or even medical science and
asked Prof. Hartmann to draw up q
report with the necessary sketches and
suggestions which will decide once and
for all whether a surgeon can be held
responsible for Shylocking a pound of
flesh somewhat clumsily from a comely

People Are Glad She Did

ROYAL BLOOD FETISH DIES
One at Least Of Kings Sons Is
Likely to Wed Outside
Charmed Circle.

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HrxALp
Copyright, 1881, By THE New YoaK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
London, Nov. 20.
The betrothal of Princess Mary has
been joyously received all over Eng
land. largely because she is marrying
an Englishman. The action has had
the effect Of reassuring the mind of
the British people on a subject about
which much has been spoken and
little written-the Forthcoming mar
riages of her brothers, the Prince Of
Wales, the Duke Of York and Prince
Henry. 1t has been obvious that the
war had completely altered the situa-
ton regarding eligible royal alliances
for the Princes of the blood, and It is
now likely and certainly highly de-
sired that they will go back to the
old tradition Of the English throne
before the royal marriage act was
passed.
There was stringent restriction in
the Stuart times. but previously there
had been many instances Of marriages
outside reigning families. Many Plan
tagenets married outside royal strains,
had high sense OF royal dignity, mar
ried knights. two of whom were English
earls hiding titles no higher than that
Princess Mary's future husband will
bear
The eldest daughter Of Edward III.
married a French knight who was Gre
ated Earl OF Bedford. Under the Stuarts,
royal blood marriages were strictly In
sisted upon, though James. Duke of
York, married Ann Hyde, but It was
kept a secret. With the Georges the
passion for restricting marriages to
royal families reached it's height.
George III. and his consort Anne were
both fanatics on this subject, and were
greatly angered when two of the Kings
brothers married commoners. a sequel
to this was the royal marriage act,
which tightened the restrictions. which
still prevail.
Owing to the necessity OF excluding
Catholic princesses the royal field since
the war Is very barren. It is certain
that public opinion would never tolerate
the marriage of any Prince with a Ger
man, and the number of marriageable
princesses in Holland, Denmark. Sweden
and Norway is remarkably small The
imperial family of Russia has utterly
disappeared and the Greek princesses
would not be popular here now. The re-
naming royal families those of Spain.
Italy and Belgium, are Catholics.
In these conditions II is inevitable that
some at least Of the Kings sons must
marry outside royal circles, and there
is no doubt that the people would cor
daily welcome such a selection. It IL
no secret that the Prince Of Wales pre-
fers to take an English girl. and un-
doubtedly tho people would acclaim the
selection with such enthusiasm that the
House of Lords would set aside the
marriage act It is accepted here as
almost certain that the old superstitions
about the blood royal must give way
to modern ideas, and the betrothal of
Princess Mary Is regarded as the first
step in this direction.

Short Waves Necessary
With Station Having a

CONDUCTING LAYER AIDS
Prof. Fleming Finds Electric
: Screen Making Long Dis
tance Signals Stronger.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, by THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, Nov. 26.
The men of Mars, If there are any,
will have to walt patiently for some
time before they get any wireless tele-
phonic communication from us. ac-
cording to Signor Marconi. the in
ventor. He said that short waves
would be necessary and that they
would have to be sent out by sta
ton having a capacity Of at least a
million horse power. and we have
nothing approaching that yet.
But there is a mysterious agency
working to aid man in his efforts to
flash his thoughts great distances. Prof.
]. Fleming. a scientist and inventor
connected with University College, ex-
plains the fact that wireless signals
travelling from 5000 to $4,000 miles are
many times stronger than those travel
ling short distances by saying thar this
can be accounted for only by the pres
ence of conducting layers floating hun
dreds of miles above us. He says It
is logical that waves would not cling
to the earth, but 1t Is now believed that
the great strength of distant signals Is
due to the presence of this conducting
layer in the upper regions OF the atmos-
phere.
Prof. Fleming says the layer COM
pletely envelops the earth and as the
radio waves move outward they strike
it and are reflected and guided around
II in sort of gigantic wireless speak
ing tube through which man can whis-
per radio secrets to the Antipodes with
out being overheard by listeners on other
planets. lie declares this is an Inn
mense boon 70 humanity. for otherwise
long distance wirelessing would require
the expenditure of such vast amounts of
energy that it would be commercially
impracticable.
Prof Fleming holds that long COM
munication Is impossible with the moon
because she has no conducting screen.
He has a theory regarding the nature
of this screen, which, he says Is caused
by electrified dust thrown from the sun.
He has photographs of these dust clouds
departing. He says the pressure of light
is strong enough to overpower the back
ward gravitation action, with the result
tnat particles Oh tnlS Dust continue tnelr
long journey earthward through empty
space, travelling at great velocity. until
they reach the outposts Of our atmos-
phere. where they are stopped by
friction. According to Prof. Fleming
every particle of this dust bears an
electric charge so powerful that a mere
handful would propel the largest liner a
whole day.
Long distance waves measure about
ten miles and can be handled by a con-
duction screen. Signor Marconi, back
ing up Prof. Fleming, said the screen
would not hinder the progress Of shorter
waves. but likewise would not help them.
with the result that tremendous gener-
ating power would be needed.
Neither of these scientists would
hazard q guess on the possibilities OF
communication with other planets in the
face Of these discoveries.
