SAVING AN OLD PAINTING
Inicenlnna Method by Which It Wni
Trnnaferred to New CnnYAS
Did you ever hear of transferring
nn old oil painting to a now canvas
said a well known art connoisseur of
this city Ono would declnro nt first
blush that the thing waa absolutely Im
possible but I saw It done with a pic
ture over eight feet square and tho
operation waa a perfect success Tho
painting to which I refer had been a
fine exnmplo of tho onrly Itnllnn
school but It had lain forgotten In a
gnrret for mfcny yearn and hnd become
so lucruHtcd with dirt nnd grime Unit
It was Impossible to distinguish any of
tho details Ordinarily It could have
been cleaned without trouble but tho
damp nnd mold of two centuries hnd
rotted the canvas until It was ready to
fall apart nt a touch and scrubbing
was of course out of the question
Thnt wns the condition of things
when It waa taken tn hnnd by nn ex
port restorer from Belgium who hap
pened to be In the city The first thing
he did wna to glue a huge sheet of
thick maulla paper firmly to tho fnco
of the picture Then he turned It over
carefully nnd picked off every particle
of the old decaying ennvna revealing
the rear surface of the paint Itself It
waa a big Job nud required no end of
patience but the Inst thread wna final
ly removed nud nothing wna left but
the fragile shell of pigment That ho
covered with the Btrongeat fish glue
and a new sheet of ennvus wna spread
over It nnd pressed down
In a few houra It wna perfectly dry
and the painting wna aa firmly nttach
ed to Ita now foundation ns If It had
been there from the start Nothing
then remained but to tnke off the ma
nlla pnper which was readily done
with hot wnter After that the aurface
waa thoroughly cleaned nnd tho pic
ture Is- now almost na bright nnd clenr
as It was when It left the painters
easel The owner could hardly believe
his eyca It seemed to him that a veri
table mlrncle had been accomplished

The- Typewriter nnd the Eye
There Is the general opinion nmong
oculists that the eye Is much relieved
by the general Introduction of type
written mutter A recent medical work
upon diseases of the eye gives a great
many proofs in substnntintlon of thla
opinion
The characters are so lnrge on tho
keys thnt there la no appreciable strain
on the vision nnd when dexterity Is at
tained the eyes can scarcely be said to
be used at nil A vast strain la taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer lnstend of the pen but the ad
vantngea of reading the typewritten
matter are even more Important from
a medical point of view nnd the strain
upon the bauds Is also slight
It Is said that a person can work for
eight consecutive hours with slight In
terruptions without the hands being
conscious of fatigue In using the
typewriter the additional labor of fo
cusing the eyes calls the muscles Into
undue use nnd the result is that many
defects of vision which would not
probably be discovered under normal
conditions nre brought to the front

A Coata Ilieuii Wonder
The National theater at San Joso
Costa Rica Is a wonder said a gentle
man who has recently returned from

to stand third nmong bouses of Its
kind In the world It cost 3000000
to erect nnd the work of construction
occupied many years Tho deslgn fol
lows tho Grand Opera House of Paris
In a general way although of course
tho building Is very much smaller and
tho material is white marble and Mex
ican onyx The tnnln entrance hall
and foyers contain some superb pieces
of statuary and the decorations were
done by European nrtlsts of reputa
tion
When a visitor sees it for the first
time standing in the midst of a strag

well mny be but they are so far
away from amusement centers that the
only regular performances nre by an
opera company hired by the govern
ment In France or Italy for a brief sea

It is nn interesting fact that all the
Central American capitals have dis
proportionately fine theaters kept up

There arc lota of things in an agri

all that but which ore beyond tho
reach of the common everyday farmer
and so arc not practical From our
standpoint the most helpful and use
ful agricultural reading matter Is that
which la suited to the average man
working with limited means and short
help For him to find out an easier
nwny In which to do a hard Job or a
wny whereby he may be able to raise
a little better crop or sell what he does
raise for a little more money or rid
himself of some pest nnd hindrance In
his farm work Is to help him tn a prac
