TREASURES OF THE CATHEDRAL OF
MEXICO.

The largest, most elegant, most
costly, and in every way the finest
church building on the American
continent is the Cathedral of Mexico.
1t is three hundred years since this
immense building was begun, and
more than two hndred years since it
was finished yet it does not bear the
appearance of old age, although near.
ly all the material in it, except the
imported metals and precious stones,
were centuries old when Columbus
first sailed across the Atlantic, for it
was largely built Of the stones of the
Aztec temple that stood upon precise.
ly the same site, and which was de-
stroyed by Cortez.
Sixty-two life size statues serve as
chandeliers, and everything else is in
the same grand style. The choir is
surrounded by balustrade of gold,
which was manufactured in China,
and weighs more than twenty tons
mot all gold). In the middle of the
high altar is placed the tabernacle,
supported by eight ranges of stucco
colonnades, in the first two ranges of
which stand the Apostles, ,Evangelists
and principal Saints. and in the third
rank group of angels, among whom
appears the Holy Virgin.
There are six chandeliers, and a
cross, whose body and pedestal are
inlaid with precious stones; a cross
of gol l tiligree six boquets Of pre-
cious stones; four more chandeliers,
twenty chalices six gold cruets and
stands; pyx of gold weighing lO4
ounces, covered with 1879 large dia-
monds, 1872 rubies. f43 emerals, the
whole mounted on eighty-four ounces
of gold two golden censers, the prin.
cipal one yard high. ornamented
with 5,882 diamonds, and thee other
with 2,653,106 amethysts. As rubles
and 8 sapphires, and containing 7O4
ounces of gold; II lustres of "a
branches each; 2 pairs of large chan.
deliers 5 perfumery pans, six feet
high 8 statues and large number
of gold and silver bouquets.
The statue of the Assumption, dat.
ing from 1910, and the most valua-
BILE piece in the Cathedral is now
missing (without doubt it went to
part of the expenses of some Of the
countless Mexican wars).
1t was made of gold, and the ounce
value of the gold, containing nothing
for the wood workmanship, was 81
O86, ,5O4 it was covered from head to
foot with precious stones. The large
censer, and large portion of the
jewels were given to it.
The Cathedral was damaged by an
earthquake in 1926, and great gold
lamp % feet high was sold to pay for
the repairs. The lamp was nine feet
in diameter, had 81 Branches, and
cost $71,342.
One Of the builders of the Cathe-
dral said to the architect: "Build us
a church which will make posterity
believe we were mad,' and he did;
but we prefer the higher and truer
Catholic spirit in which they worked
who put up our Old World sanctua-
ries of whom it is written: ''They
dreamed not Of a perishable home
who thus could build,''-The Lamp.
