.X.RAY TEST FOR
HAHN PAINTING
Da YinCi Picture Suit Enters
It's Third Week

New York, Feb. IS CP-Use Of
the N-ray to determine whether
Mrs. Andree nahn's La Belle Fer
ronniere" is genuine da Vinci or
a copy. as Sir Arthur Duveen con-
tends, was forecast today.
Sir Joseph, art expert, as defend
ant in a 100000 libel suit brought
by Mrs. Hahn. who claims his de-
nunciation of the picture prevented
its sale for $4,000 to the Kansas
City Art Institute. The trial of the
case entered its third week today.
The defense has assembled an ar
ray of expert opinion. including 10
or more OF the foremost European
experts. to support the contention
Iof Duveen that the picture is not
the work of the Florentine master.
S. Lawrence Miller. counsel for
Mrs. Hahn, has announced that he
will submit the disputed picture TO
N-ray examination and to paint
chemists in an effort to rcfute artis-
tic judgment with scientific demon
stration.
What Test May Show
One thing Miller hopes to find by
N-ray examination is whether the
Hahn picture shows hands under
grayish green balustrade which
now cuts across the painting bust
high. In a description of the Da
Ninci La Belle Ferronniere" writ

Galileo's Historic Discovery
By Archibald Henderson

CtCIENCE has an interest for the
~ human mind by reason Of its
sheer mystery. It is a voyage Of
discovery. It is an investigation
conducted for the purpose Of un.
yelling hidden secrets. Through
science, Nature stands revealed in
new aspects hitherto unknown,
and often unsuspected. We stand
aghast at these strange new truths
which so long have remained hid
den from the scrutiny OF mankind.
Science fascinates by its mystery.
Science has a deeper fascination
than the mere appeal of the recon
dite and the unknown. It repre-
sents a conquest and a discovery.
Science gives us a soul stirring
thrill because Of its conquest Of
recalcitrant matter and unfath.
Omed substance. Our nerves are
set atingle with the excitement of
discovery. We are not satisfied
with the mere announcement that
q. mystery has been solved, a secret
disclosed. We want to know how
It was done. We want to share the
excitement OF the investigator, set
our minds alongside his and accom-.
pany him to the end of the great
adventure.
Such a fascinating undertaking
may be realized by reading Fahie's
''Ga1ileo, His Life and Work"
Already Copernicus had shown
that the earth revolves upon its
axis and moves in a certain orbit.
The acceptance Of the new doc.
