Shakespeare's Death Mask.

A German scientist has discovered at Darmstadt nothing less than a plaster mask of Shakespeare—a death mask, in fact. Of its authenticity the discoverer has no doubt but to make assurances doubly sure he was at the pains to journey to Stratford and compare It with the bust on the poet’s' tomb. Curiously enough, the resemblance of the bust to the death mkkk proved to be of the most striking character, and the scientist is glorifying te his trouvaille. Meanwhile, another bust, the Flora of the Berlin museum, may be Imagined to have her doubts.
