By ROSE MARIE LEE
Intaglio prints, oil paintings and sculpture comprise the one-man show of work by KU faculty artist John Talleur, associate professor of drawing and painting, at the KU Museum of Art.
The exhibition, continuing through Dec. 1, is the second of the annual one-man shows for contemporary artists at KU.
OF THE 48 WORKS on display, 22 were done in the past year. Intaglio prints and woodcuts make up the bulk of the work shown.
Previous one-man shows for Talleur include those at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Esquire Gallery, Chicago; Mulvane Art Center, Topeka; University of Colorado; the University of Nebraska, and several others.
The Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago are among the many institutions that own work by Talleur.

In 1965, the beetles cleaned most of the 5.000 specimens which have gone through the Museum, including 1.500 sparrows.
tiny bones—from the eye sockets of small animals, for instance—without noticing their existence.
Before the use of the carpet beetles, those preparing the skeletons would clean away the
R. R. PATTERSON, who prepares modern vertebrates for the museum, illustrates the usefulness of the beetles. He must clean small rodents preserved in alcohol himself, since the beetles will not touch alcohol. He can do only two or three specimens per day, while the beetles can turn out hundreds or even thousands of specimens in 30 days.

As a result, bones no larger than a thread have been noticed for the first time in small rodents and tiny birds such as the hummingbird.
BUNKER, A KU NATURAL History Museum director around the turn of the century, accidentally discovered that the larvae of the inch-long, black-and-white beetles are carnivorous and will eat fresh or dried flesh. They will clean all flesh from a skeleton, leaving the bones intact.
