The Vatican,

The Vatican, the papal palace at
Rome, is rather a collection of buildings
than single edifice, and, though one of
the most magnificent palaces in the
world, exhibits lack of architectural
harmony because its parts have been
constructed at different times. The en-
tire structure covers space of 1151x767
feet, and has 200 staircases, twenty
courts and 1922 rooms. There was a
palace attached to st. Peters church
probably as early as the fourth century ,
but did not become the permanent resi-
dence of the popes until 1877. Very
little OF the present edifce, however, is
older than the time Of Pope Nicholas ",
who in 1447 began its reconstruction.
The Sistine chapel was built by Pope
Sixtus ". in 1474, and the Pauline
chapel by Paul III in 1884. The
museum was founded by Julius IL. and
the Etrucsan collection was added by
Gregory XVI. There was scarcely any
one of the Popes who did not have a
share in the establishment of this
beautiful building. It would take a
volume to enumerate the treasures of
the Vatican. The chapels of San Lo-
renza, the Sistine, and the Pauline are
decorated with magnificent frescoes by
Fra Angelica, Micael Angelo, Perugino,
and others. Four chambers were deco
rated by the hand of the immortal
Raphael. The picture gallery IS not
large, having not more than fifty paint
ings, but these are the most valuable in
the world. Here are Raphael,s "Trans-
fguration," his Madonna di Folipno.r
and his Coronation of the Virgin" be-
sides some smaller pictures, also Domen-
ichino's Communion of st. Jerome ~
and works by Murillo, Titan, Perugino
Correggio, Paul Veronese and others of
the greatest painters that ever lived.
The museum contains not only many of
the most beautiful sculptures in the
world, ancient Greek statues, anon
which are LAGOON and the Apollo Bel
videre, but also great numbers of an
tiquities, relics of ancient Italy, Greece,
and Egypt. The library of the Vatican
was founded in 1878, and now contains
10000 volumes and $4,000 manu-
scripts. The manuscript collection.
though not the largest, is the most
valuable in the world.

Of Caterpillar Type.
Union-J ournal. J


A San Francisco dispatch Of May 81
says: "a few million worms of the cat
erplllar type are making unhappy the
lives OF the Santa Clara prune- growers
Just at present. In the Willows district.
near San Jose, and off ON the hills to-
ward Saratoga many orchards are
seriously affected by the depredators.
NO one has yet identified the unwelcome
visitors, but Entomologist Craw, of the
state board of horticulture, has been
asked for information, both as to the
character of the leaf eaters and for an
effective method of killing them. A
hort1culturist who looked about several
OF the best orchards yesterday says that
many trees look as though bird shot
had riddled the tops. The branches in
places have been eaten entirely bare of
leaves"
The same tree pest is making away
with trees in the Walla Walla valley, the
main varieties attacked being apples and
cherries, though several residents of the
city complain of their having attacked
elm and other shade trees.
Persons who were orchardists in the
East report this caterpillar pest to be
the same that afflicted the trees of New
England many years since, and which
were found to be so difficult to handle.
The custom there was to encircle the
tree with cloth saturated with coal tar,
the idea being that the female, having
no wings, is unable to ascend the tree,
being caught by the coal tar. But in
the event of their being already up the
trees the cheapest plan is to cut the
twigs in which their nests are built and
burn them, thus destroying the worm,
which is always in its nest at night.
