Benuttrnl IsIe Of ihe Sea.

The first thing which strikes one at
Capri, says letter in the London Sat
urday Review, is the smaiiness of the
place. The whole island is only some
four miles long and mile and half
across, and good half of this space is
practically inaccessible. But it is just
the diminutive size Of Capri which be-
comes one Of its greatest charms. 1t
would be hard, in fact, to find any part
of the world where so much and such
varied beauty is packed in so small a
space. The visitor who lands from
Naples or Sorrento mounts steeply up
the slopes of grand ampbiiheater,
hanked on either side ~ the cliffs of St
Michael and Anacapri, to the white line
Of the village on the central ridge, with
the strange Saracenic domes of its
church lifted wierdly against the sky
Over: the crest of this ridge a counter
valley falls as steeply to the south, till it
reaches d plateau covered with the gray
mass OF convent, and then plnnges
over crag and cliff back again to the
sea. To the east of these central val
leys a steep rise OF ground ends in the
ruins of the palace Of Tiberius and the
great headland which fronts the headland
OF Sorrento. Everywhere the forms of the
scenery are on the largest and boldest
scale. The great conical Tors, Tuoro
prande and Tuoropiccolo, the boldly
scarped rock Of Castigione, with its
crown of medieval towers, lead up the
eve to the huge cliff wall Of Anacapri,
where, a thousand feet above, the white
hermitage on Monte SOlaro glimmers
out fitlully from its screen of cloud.
Among the broken nights to the east or
in the central valleys, there are a hun
dred different walks and a thousand diff
ferent hooks, and each nook and walk
has its own independent charm. Sleeps
clothed from top to bottom in the thick
qreenery Of the lemon or orange; sudden
breaks like that OF Metromania, where a
blue strip OF sea seems to have been
cunningly let in among the rocks; back
grounds Of tumbed limestone; slopes,
dusty gray, with wild cactus; thickets of
delightful greenery, where one lies bid
den in the dense scrub OF myrtle and
arbutus; olive yards creeping thrifty
up the hillsides, and over the cliffs
and down every slope, and into every
rock corner where the Caprese peasant
farmer can fnd footing; homestesds Of
gray stone, with low domed oriental
roofs on which women sit spinning, their
figures etched ont against the sky; gar.
dens where the writhed fig trees stand
barely waiting for the foliage Of spring;
hooks aud broken boulders and vast
masses Of rock. with the dark mass OF
the carouba finging its shade over them;
nights from which one looks suddenly
norihward and southwark over huu-
bred miles Of seR-this is Capri The
sea is everywhere. At one turn its wa
