RESTORE BRONzES FROM RUST JUMPS
EleCtrochsmical Laboratory at
 Columbia Has New Process

New York, April 15.--Ancient bronzcs which the years have turned Into Jumps of rust arc being re- stored 10 their original beauty in the eectrochemcal laboratory of the School of Mines, Columbia uniycr- sity through a process developed by Professor Colin G. Fink, which re- verses the action of time and con- vcrts rust into metal.
 The method not only restores the shape of badly rusted objects, but also brings out all the original de- tail and exposes fake antiques. Twelve Egyptian, Etruscan and oth- CT types of bronzcs are now in the laboratory undergoing the rcjuvcna- ton treatment.
 The method was worked out by Dr Fink at the suggestion of Direc- tor Edward Robinson of the Mctro- poIitan Museum of Art, who turned over 10 the scientist q number of bronzcs which were so rusted that their identity had been lost. More than 600 objects Of bronze, silver and alloys have been successfully treated.
 The process Is an application of wcll-knoWn electro chemical prin- ciplcs. Faint electrical currents oper- atinS for centuries turn the metal into rust. By subjocting tho corrodrd objects to q stronger electrical cur [ rent of the opposite polarity this ef- feet is reversed and shapes and de- signs emerge from the formless rust.
 Recently the Metrolopitan Museum was offered an object supposed to be an ancient bronze of man on horseback. It was turned over to Dr, Fink for restoration, but when it was subjected 10 electro chemical action a green antique finish of carmonatc of copper an glue came off, revealing toy lead soldier astridc a horse.
 Another fake which was exposed Was supposed Japanese bronze of q mounted warrior. IL had been bought by a prominent New York dealer and first payment on the price of $2O,000 had been made. Stecped in the revealing chemical bath, the ancient green coating came oft leaving q casting in typc-metal.
 Dr. Fink claims that the process is useful for authenticatins genuine antiques as well as for exposing frauds. Two Metropolitan Museum bronzes which had been challenged by an expert of the British Museum were found to be genuine
 A contribution to archaeology as well as to art has been made by the experiments, which proved that the Egyptians, Greeks and other ancient races coated their jcwelry with thin coats of gold. This plating is de- stroyed it is claimed. when rcstora- ton is attempted with acid or chiscl.
 Tho saIvaged objects will probably be exhibited soon at the museum, and among them will be one. highly prizcd by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr This bronze was a shapelcss crumbling lump Of rust whcn it was given 10 Dr. Fink. Under treatment it took shape as q mother cat and litter of kittens, and was changed back into metal.

 Of Modern Paintings

Paris. April l5.-What is claimed to be an infallible method of estab- fishing the authenticity of modern paintings, devised by Dr. Grangerard was described to the academy of sci ences by Professor D'Arsonval. of the University of Paris, yesterday. The plan consists Of noting by means of the X-ray the peculiaritiGs of a canvas or wooden panel used by the artist. From this two dockets are compiled, which would permit 1t to be determined by simple comparison at some later date whether q picture attributed to an artist is an original or a copy.

 DEAL GOES ON Effort to Block Merger Meets
 With Opposition

Washington, April 15,-Motion 10 postpone consideration of the Van sworingcn Nickel Plate merger plan, filed by committee representing minority stockholders of the Chcsa- peake & Ohio railroad, was over. ruled today by the interstate com merce commission,
 Before the ruling was made, w. A. Colston, vice-president and general counsel of the Nickel Plate, declared that regardless Of the minority com mittee, the merger would go for ward.
 "lf this fly on the elephants back can stop the elephant, which we don't believe" he said. Tt is well to be remembered that there arc four other elephants in the parade, the other railroads concerned, and the circus will go forward anyway"
 The commission acted after hear ing a prolonged argument by attor- ncys representing parties to the pro- ceeding. The hearing on the merits of the merger itself was taken up immediately thereafter.
 "We hold" said Mir. Colston. "that the interstate commerce commission could make law for us in this mat ter, just as it did in the lease of the Central Pacific to the Southern Pacific, that acting under its orders we may do things that without it's order might be unlawful under state or federal statutes.
 ''Nor further we ask that this pro- ceeding go forward in the interest of peace and truth. We say that this minority committee has been responsible for the publication of un- true and false statements. We de- mand now that they produce wit nesses and make proof. Are they afraid to go on now?"

EGYPT WORRIED
 OVER NEW CRISIS
Break With Italy Over Boundary
 Feared

Cairo, April 15--What is ayowed by the Cairo press 10 be an acute situation between Egypt and Italy has arisen over the question of the boundary between Egypt and Tripoll, an Italian possession. One of the newspapers expresses the opinion that the intervention of Eng land will be necessary.
 The situation arose, through the presentation by the Italian minister here of verbal agreement for delimination of the frontier along the lines. of an agreement drawn up between Great Britain and Italy when Egypt was British protecto- rate. .....
 It is declared by the newspaper Al siassah, which learned from an au- 1horitativc source of the Italian com ulunic0tion. that Egypt has replied she is unable to accept the Italian request, as Egypt was not Il parti- pant in the negotiations.
 It was known to the Egyptian gov .rrnment, 1t is declared, that Viscount Miner, British secretary for the col onios, and Foreign Minister Scialoja of Italy had negotiated on the sub ject in 192t-22, referred to by Italy as the "AIilncr- -Scialoja agreement. t.'
 In any event. it Is pointed out in the Egyptian reply as reported by the press, Egypt has since become an independent state, and while she wishes a friendly settlement of the matter and had decided to appoint an expert committee to examine into it, further negotiations will be ncces- sary and the result must be referred to the Egyptian parliament.
 London, April 15.-A Reuter- dis patch from Cairo says that the news paper Al Siassah learns from an au- thoritative source that the Italian minister on Monday made verbal communication to the Egyptian gov- ernment of request by the Italian government for delimitation of the frontier between Egypt and Tripoli in accordance with the agreement drawn up by Vittorio Sciatoja, as Italian foreign minister and Niscount Nilner. as British secretary for the colonies.
 The newspaper says that. the Egyptian cabinet met on Monday and Tuesday to consider the request. which caused great astonshment fin Egyptian political circles coming at q time when conversations are in progress for friendly settlement of Hhe question and when the Egyptian government had decided to appoint | committee of experts 10 examine into it. The Al Sassah says that the italian communication closes the loor 10 the negotiations.
 The newspaper declares that Sher- if Bey Sabri, director general of for rgn affairs of the Egyptian govern ment. is reported to have handed to the Italian legation on Tuesday night q reply equally as COT dial, but just as firm as the Italian communication.
 In it's reply, according 10 the pa ner, the Egyptian government states f is unable to accept determination of the frontier according 10 the agreement made with a foreigner, in which the Egyptian government did not participate, aLd expresses inc opinion that the Italian reference 10 the -SciaIoia agreement" was probable due to q misunderstanding
