Synteiniitic Forgeries I'rnelieed In PariM to Supply Dvuiiuid for RelicM. The quest for things antique has led to systematic forgery and imitation on Ihe part of dealers. Paris is the great center of this deceitful industry, says the Nation. There has been discov ered in the suburbs a thriving factory for the fabrication of Egyptian mum mies, cases and all. These are shipped to Egypt, and in due time return as properly antiquated discoveries. A funny story is now current about a collector of medieval things. A cer tain clever workman in stone made to the order of a dealer in medieval an tiquities a Venetian chimneypiece of the fifteenth century, and received for his work some 2,000 or 3,000 francs. The dealer shipped the chimneypiece i iu » , auu uau u oci up iu a jmiaic near Venice, bringing back to Paris photographs of the palace and of the chimneypiece in situ. By means of Ihese photagraphs he aroused the in j terest of a rich collector, who sent his j secretary to Venice to make sure j that the photographs did not lie, and 1 on his favorable report, bought the j thing for 50,000 francs. On the arrival of the article at his house in Paris he sent for some workmen to open the cases. One of them appeared to go about the work rather carelessly, and he remonstrated with the man, who answered: “Have no fear, sir. I know just how it needs to be opened, for I packed it when it left Paris.” -——— ...va*.. Sanitary Brcail-MakinK.
