the Forum and even the city's walls are to be
made to appear they were before the ashes
fell. The skill of the artist will be combined
with the knowledge of the archeeologist and
historian. Nowhere viii the original structures
or decorations be altered. but only those parts
which have been irreFarably effaced will be re-
placed.
The American on walking through the lava
paved streets Of Pompeii is first impressed with
the isolation of the private houses. Instead OF
fronting the street, with the windows of the
choicest rooms looking down the sidewalk
the Pompean residence turned its back on a
thoroughfare. often the front wall is unbroken
save by the doorway. Through this entrance
the visitor enters vestbu.e, and beyond he
sees an open court, around which are built the
living rooms. In the rear the stables for
horses. under the same roof. but removed from
the rooms occupied by the family.
The architectural restoration of Pompeii how

Of the volcanoes demonstrations, and wonder if
the Silent City will meet A second fate. Wher-
ever Roman thought and art have gone. how
ever they may have been reproduced by the
Anglo-Saxon. the Gaul the Iberian, Pompeii
is always name that awakens sympathy.
The loss Of the Pompeii of to-day, however.
would not be one Of sentiment alone. 1t would
mean the destruction of property whose value
can hardly be estimated in dollars and cents.
Since 1861 archseoogists have been uncovering
its buildings systematically and have laid bare
one-half its streets. They have also restored
several of its buildings, so that the visitor
might think he had gone backward some twenty
centuries and was living in the reign of Titus
instead of Victor Emmanuel Ill In one house.
for example the figures Of the fresCos seem
almost as fresh as before the fatal shower of
ashes. Marble statues stand in the Railways

roses which his daughters once picked to adorn

Some have said that even If Pompeii were
devastated a second time. not with ashes and
pumice stones such as fell in 20 but with lava
which would make the city oblitaration IS
the world would still have the priceless Pom
peiian relics in the museum at Naples. Here,
they say are all kinds OF handiwork which re-
feet the life and customs Of the ancient inhabi-
tants of Pompeii. Not only NAV one SEE here
works Of art which ornamented public halls and
private parlOrs but the everyday appliances of
life
But those who have set themselves to the
task Of restoring Pompeii contend that museum
relics give only the vaguest idea OF the
people whose property they were. The
Old World. thew say, is full of ruined cities.

1t is Pompeii Itself therefore which its re-
storers say is most precious of all. Nowhere
else i'm all the world has whole city been en-
balmed, rs it were, so that twenty centuries
have passed by as if they were so many years
Nowhere else has it been possible to resurrect in
such detail not only the habitations, the temples
