THE REMOVAL OF MOSAICs.-Ihere is very
much doubt If The proposed changes at the
Basiica Of st. John iatcTan in Rome VIII be
undertaken after the proposed plans o. Plus IL.
The mOSaics which ad0m the ADse thai it was
proposed 10 move Outward 2l met.Cs, and
upward nearly four metres, would be IN great
danger Of serious injury. \ committee Of q en-
fleets and engineers lave reverted 10 he PCpc
that the slightest accident in ihe removal would
probably cause the irrypaTable loss OF the mo-
salcs. In the event of a pYO!OngatOn Of the
choir which should di,place the Old ADSe, the
least dangerous means for preserving the mo-
safes would be To dc.ach them from the existing
walls and replace them on those Of the new
Apsc. Among The artists wlo were cDgag d IN
making these mOSaics are he FlOrcntIne Gaddo
Gaddi, and the friaIs JacOpO de 1uriteO and
JacOpO da CameriDO.

been stolen, aS well as the crown and ornaments
of ;hc Madonna In the chapel. On further search
II bass candlcStlck, some yeSmentS, aud the
wine eTaicd for the fist mass in the morning
