And as there appears to be no obvious | reason for these owls to migrate in | such number and so irregularly, the | cause of their movements creates much speculation and interest The White or Snowl Owl is one of our larger owls. But though ob- viously an owl, it differs in many respects from other members of this distinctive family. Browns and greys are the usual colors found in owl plumage; the snowy owl has no really brown marking. Its white coat may be often broken with blackish bers, but acrtainly the bird is a WHITE owl. We often | think of Owls as being "horned", that is, having tufts of feathers re- sembling horns on their heads. The Snowy Owl has no such adorn- ments. Its head is smooth and round, yet, like all its family, it looks out forward from great vellow eyes set in a conspicuous facial disk --the very picture of calm judicial wisdem. These eyes are nderful creations. When we hunters of the nigl and fro across broken land, over- grown with all sorts of herbage which forms cover for their prev of mice, it is indeed a marvel how the birds are able to see dull brown ONE of THE SHORTEST ~3 AND NARKOWEST STREETS w HE WORLD 15 IN LINDAU, SWITZER AND | favorite hunting ground. {and his owl captor in midair, | the winter | our quietly for long periods upon some exposed perch in an open field on the lookout, or flying over some So next time you should happen to see what appears to be a lump of snow upon an isolated haystack out on a field, facts of nature get your field glasses and you may | find it is a Snowy Owl.

NOVEMBER 22, 1940 SKILL SHOWN IN RENOVATING OLD PAINTING Doctors For Art Must Have Rare Knowledge of Materials Cambridge, Mars, other neople did it be called counterfeiters, men are paid by ity to "doctor" art Their work Nov they'a POLLY AND HER PALS hut Harvard Univer- priceless works of ranging from periodic 2 -- If nrobably three examinations to the transfer of paintings from one base to another is done at the Fogg Museum of Fine Arts in a room that resemhles both a studio and a hospital. The job is a delicate one and the men, besides having steady hands, must have a thorough knowledge of art. They must understond the chemical properties of pigments and their reactions to other chemi- cals and adhesives, they must know how paint contracts and expands and the secrets of canvas plaster and wood. All Are Experts For the painstaking job Harvard chose G. L. Stout head of the fine arts department of conservation and research, Murray Pease and Richard D. Buck. Under their hands pas abot 200 paintings annually They all are works that would thrill any collec- tor, but the "doctors" do not dwell on thelr beauties--they just repair them. The most . difficult joh is the transferring of a painting from a weakened support to a new one. The preliminaries to that are almost as complicated as the job itself. Pirst microscopic tests are made to determine the solubility of the paint so that harmful adhesives will not be used. X-rays anc fluore- scent light also tell much about the paint medium. So accurate and detailed Is the examination that a bri:tle from the artist's brush was discovered in the paint or a rare Degas, "The Cotton Market." The brush technique also is clearly revealed. Soluble Adhesive. Applied After the nature of the paint is determined, a number of layers of paper ahd cloth are applied to tne . THE GOOD EARTH. | Named by Polish Gov't. | face of the painting. These are stuck to the surface with an ad- hesive that can pe removed easily For oil paintings 'he adhesive usu- ally is soluble in water and can be washed off. The support of the painting then is worked away until the reverse of the painting is visible--an operation that must be accurate to the frac- tion of a millimeter, A new support is prepared and the painting is fastened to it The front protective facing then is re- moved, the painting is <leaned, re- | coated with varnish and again is ready for display.
