conference Of the dome ,--one at its
base, and the other just undorDeoth the
canopy at the top, on which, at u height
of near two hundred feet, Brumidi's
grand symbolic painting is displayed.---
These jets are, by aningenious arransc-
mcnt Of conducting wires, instantaneous
" ignited by discharge Of electricity.
They are placed so as to be invisible to
the boholder from below, but the light
from thoirunited flames Is thrown up
upon the panels of that mighty arch,
and concentrated with splendid effect
upon the magnificent frcsco which
crowns the whole. As seen by day,
this wonderful painting appears to the
spectator from beneath like an opening
in the sky, through which he catches a
glimpse OF the world supcrnal and he
gazcs in wonder upon the majestic
forms Of gods and goddesscs Of that up.
