Valued Painting of Christ
Discovered New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Aug. 18.
(/P)—Father J. J. Hartman, chaplain
for St. Anthony’s orphanage, has dis
covered what he believes to be one
of the most important art discover
ies of America or Europe iu recent
years, a life-size painting of Christ
in a Catholic mission church at the
Indian pueblo of Isleta, near here.
Father Hartman has seen the most
noted paintings of Christ all over the
world and he considers the work in
the mission church the most perfect
he has studied. The picture is part
ly in relief and the color harmony is
remarkable.
He believes the painting to be one 1
of the Byzantine era, preceding any
of the European schools. The name
of the artist is not known. Father
Hartman is of the opinion that the
painting was brought to the Isleta
mission by early padres who accom
panied Spanish conquistadores on all
their trips of conquest through Mex
ico. The mission church is about
three hundred years old.
The picture has been temporarily
removed from the church because of
its great value until permanent ar
rangements for its safe keeping can
be made.

Water is Contaminated,” had been
placed beside the spring. Division
Engineer Wanzer of the Oregon high
way department, driving by saw the
drinker and stopped to warn him, on
ly to be met with the question, ‘what
kind of mineral water is this, I never
heard of it before.”
The state replaced the sign with
one reading:
“This water is rotten. Not fit to
drink.”
Digging Begun to Reveal
Swedish Pompeii Secret
CALMAR, Sweden, August 18. (/P)
—Work has been commenced in ex
cavating the Swedish Pompeii, an an
cient circular city site from the early
iron ages, with nine gates and foun
dations for 92 houses. It is the cen
ter of the island of Oeland. The
work is under the supervision of M.
Stenberger, an archeologist and an
appropriation for the expense has
been made by the Swedish Tourist
Association.
The existence of this old forti
fied retreat, Ismantorp, has been
known for generations, but practical
ly nothing has been done until this
year to determine what the ruins
conceal.
The circular outer wall, formed of
magnificent limestone blocks, joined
with admirable skill, without the use
of mortar, is about 1,200 feet long,
12 feet high and 18 feet thick. It is
not likely, Prof. Stenberger believes
that the wTall was ever much higher
than it is today.

party, seriously wounded Atanassoff
