conquests both by sea and land, are but
few~of the more prominent events
which, to mind familiar with the his
tory of Venice, cannot fail to call up a
throng Of like associations. 1t was in
Venice where Gaiileo in 1909 invented
the telescope, and with it studied the
motions of the planets from the summit
of the campanile. Here, also, Loyola in
1885 founded
THE FAMOUS ORDER OF JESUIrS,

the affairs Of the different nations of
Europe. Here was born, lived and died,
Titan, Tintoretta, Canova, Tasso, and
Marco Polo; and the buildings they once
occupied are pointed out to the visitors

Venice that the first book ever issued
from the press in Italy was published ; a
translation of "Famliar Epistles of Gle

At Venice, also, appeared the first bill of
exchange, the first bank of deposit and
discount, and it was in this city that the
modern Greenback party had its birth
over 500 years ago. During their palm

purely irredeemabe for circulation among
their people, and it was under the in
fluence OF that paper money that those
magnificent palaces arose from the blue
waters of the Adriatic, whose size and
beauty are among the principal attract
ions to the tourist in Europe to-day. At
the opening of the seventeenth century,

the earliest miracles in the manufacture
of glass can be traced to this city For
the 600 years during which Venice was
an elective monarchy, her power was
continually on the increase, but the
authority of the doge was gradu, lily
limited of its prerogatives, while it in
creased in incapable and spectral mag
nitcence. The sun of Venice went down
with her doges in blaze of glory, and
when it again arose it was only to reflect
its rays over the ruins of departed power
