VANISHED TREASURES,

In the eorlv part o f the year
1866, when the feeling between
Austria and Prussia had become a
rery bitter one, a young Hungarian
nobleman went to Berlin and de-
manded an audience o f Bismarck.
He was known in his own country
ts a very eccentric personage. He
had never paid a penny' o f taxes
from the time that Hungary passed
under the dominion o f Austria, his
lands having been left uncultivated
to prevent his paying any.
On being admitted to Bismarck's
presence he proceeded at once to
date his business. He had, he said,
invented an undergarment in the
form o f a shirt which was not only
bullet proof, but not unpleasant to
wear.
Bismarck smiled incredulously,
upon which the Hungarian re-
marked that he had such a shirt on
and that he would like Bismarck to
test its powers o f resistance. T he
chancellor looked at his visitor fo r
a moment and concluded that ho
had not a lunatic to deal with, and
so, taking up his revolver, he fired
five shots at the Hungarian. T h e
latter stood smiling and unharmed,
while the bullets struck him and
fell to the ground.
Then he showed the chanoellor
his invention. It Was a shirt o f
many folds o f some material sewed
together, and it waa the denseness
and elasticity o f the stuff that gave
it such a power o f resistance.
He asked the chancellor to take
one o f the shirts, and when the 1st-
ter inquired what waa to be the
price o f it be said:
“ Beat the Austrians when you
meet them." '
“ We shall do that in any case,"
The “ Venus de M ilo," which haa
been in the Lonrre for many yeara,
is, as all the world knows, an im-
perfect pieea o f sculpture, though
it is the greatest treasure of its kind
the world has ever seen. A great
reward would be given the man
who could And the missing parts,
‘ About 1878 the most important o f
them— the right arm— came to
light in London and was proved by
experts to be genuine. The owner,
i however, refused to part with it
and concealed it for fear it would
be stolen. Unfortunately he died

A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in
i 1739 and brought to Europe has
miraculously disappeared. On it is
'engraved the whole history o f the
1 pharaohs, and it could easily be sold
for $100,000. In fact, the French
government offered a reward of
$14,000 for its discovery, but the
famous cup has vanished, probably
forever.
Another treasure which has van-
ished in as strange a way is the
Marcella vase o f the Dresden col-
lection. This is the only piece miss-
ing from the famous Dresden Mar-
cell a collection, the value o f which
is said to be $76,000. It bears the
cross arrows and the lion’s head,
Not long ago the vase was said to be
in England; but, be that as it may,
the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price in
reason for it.
How it is possible that a treasure
so large as a painting could be lost
sight o f entirely is not easily ex­
plained, but this has often hap-
pened. One o f Reynolds’ paintings,

At the taking o f Moscow, while

went up along the line. Murat saw
that the enthusiasm aroused by his
trifling act had created a favorable-
moment for a charge. He gave the
