DlOgAll.t.—This won-known exhibition reopens
fee the Easter holidays, after a considerable interval, with a
aew view by M. Theme of the valley of .Resmilaui in the
canton of Bone. The locality is, we believe, well knows to
Enelisti tourists, who are not apt to neglect seeing the falls
of the Reieheabsek. Reeenlasti le the most nerd and diffi-
cult of the ewes vales, te be reached from Meyringes. The
view presented by PI. Doss is that when the torrents el
the Reicheubsek fall sheer down fate the vale of Hull
Large and perpendicular rocks Item is **vale, and behind
it rise the Wetterhorn and Welker", whilst between the
latter and the Eogelhorn is seen the glacier of Roeenleal. This
is a tine stablest for *diorama, and has been fully done justice
to. A stillness such as to only to be met in mounts!'
heights pervades the scene. Goias are feeding on a plateau
above the falls. The sky is serene; betsoon booondag over-
cast, the Powering clouds appear, the thunder begins to roar,
sad the vale I. shrouded in darknest, only torn away by an
occasional flash of lightaltsg. Such are the changes ander
which the valley of Reseedani may be sees at the Diorama.
Though the storm is well depicted, a little less darkness
would, perhaps, conduce more to its reality. Another dio-
rama, which follows that of M. Meese, is one reposenting

MODEL OF COLOGNE CATHEDRAL.—COIegte cathe-
dral was commenced in the middle of the 13th century, and
yet but oae-third of the whole is completed. Few there are
who have ever formed an idea of what the building would be
were it finished. With but part of one tower completed,
and bat one portion of the main strnetare as yet Meld, the
cathedral as it now stands forms bet an incongruous mass.
