The Klumpke Sisters

Miss Dorothea Klumpke, who has distinguished herself in Paris, and who passed her examination before the Sorbonne so triumphantly, presenting a thesis on the nature of the rings of Saturn and receiving her doctor's degree, is a sister of Miss Anna Klumpke of Boston, an artist who has a studio on Beacon street, and who is known as a portrait painter of very exceptional power. Her sister in Paris, who has been made a doctor of science, presented in her thesis before the Sorbonne a very new and original theory regarding the rings of Saturn—that they are composed of solid masses rather than of gaseous or fluid substance, as has heretofore been believed. There is still another of those talented sisters, Dr. Dejerine Klumpke, who is a doctor of medicine and is living abroad.
