 SWISS SUMMER HOUSE. the vatican hill, situate about quarter of mile from the old observatory.
 According to Marion Crawford, the xatican may be divided into seven Dor- 2lons-the pontifical residence, the Sis- tine and auline chapels, the picture gall leries, the library, the museum of sculp- ture and archaeology, the outbuildings, including the barracks of the Swiss Guards, the gardens with the popes casino,
 The papal domain contains the e,vati- can and the park adjoining St. Peters. The park, or vatican gardens, are most tastefully laid out, and in the midst of the trees, flowers and lawns is a small retreat sacred to the pope, sum- mer resting place where he can seek seclusion when he so desires.
 That the pope may walk undisturbed in the gardens, admission to the place is seldom granted outsiders. MT. Craw- ford thus writes of the grounds in his '"Ave Roma Immortalis": "In the Ital- ian manner of gardening the grounds are well laid out, and produce the effect of being much larger than they are" And his reference to shady walks, deep box hedges, stiff little summer houses. fragments of old statues, and the little surprises of fine water jets" give one a picture of the peace and beauty and quiet of the vatican gardens.
