and when Constantinople was taken by
the Turks IN 1853 the Holy Father well
coined learned refugees from the Orient,
who brought with them priceless codiees
and manuscripts Of great antiquity,
which were added to the Papal collection.
Popes Calixtus III. and Sixtus w. con-
tributed their quota to the enlargement
of the collection. Sixtus " erected the
present magnificent temple of knowledge
with the aid of Fontana, the great archi-
tect. Paul v. augmented the collection
with the pontifeal archives, and during
the time of Gregory VI the Biblioteca
Palatina, by the generosity of Maximilian
Alexander VII. purchased and added to
the collection the library of the Dukes of
Urbino. In this library the gifts of the
worlds potentates to the Vatican are dis
played. Pope Leo XIII. first opened the
library to the public and thus gave schol-
ars access to its more than S00.000 printed
volumes and $1,000 codices and manu-
scripts.
The most notable feature of this display
comprising so much of beauty, holy asso-
ciation and historic interest is perhaps
found in the collection Of mosaics.
From the Greek mousaikos, pertaining
to the muses., comes the term mosaics
which were known In Rome during the
latter days of the republic.
While mosaics were primarily used for
inlafd floors, the art has attained such
perfection that pictures Of fruits, flowers
and portraits of high order are done in
mosaic as well as an artist can place
them upon canvas.

A fine specimen Of Byzantine art is a
miniature of Christian topography by
Cosmos, a monk of the Sixth Century,
who travelled through Syria, India and
Egypt In his efforts to harmonic cosmo-
graphy with the Bible account. This rare
work was acquired by the Vatican under
the reign of Sixtus ", in the Fourteenth
Century. In case are shown Melchise-
dech, priest and King, together with Da-
vid and Solomon, and Samuel the prophet,
surrounded by q choir. In the same cabi-
net is q facade of a basilica of the days
of Constantine, adjacent to which Is a
scene which depicts Damascus to the
right and Jerusalem to the left, with
Saul en- route to the former, accompanied
by Ananias, who has received his sight;
while in the center is seen ST. Paul With
the Book of Epistles.
In another case are seen reproduction

Aaron and the Levites carrying the Ark,
Moses, Josue and the u tribes of Israel,

In one Of the cases adorning the exhibit
Is seen representation of David the
Shepherd playing a harp, while near him

and lower down is Echo, behind a column
while in front is a replica Of Bethlehem
Interest in the collection Is enhanced
by miniatures from the Ottobonian Pom
tif1cal or Book OF Rites. Pope Innocent
Will, being desirous of establishing uni
form1ty OF ceremonies, instructed Bou-
chard, Master Of Ceremonies to COM
pile the volume. which was completed In
l5S5.
Groups of those interested In literature
constantly surround Sala Sistina of the
Vatican library built by Pope Sixtus ". in

with the foundation of the Vatican libra

Avignon the library was there and was
removed to Rome during the reign of
Pope Martin " Pope Nicholas " placed

Pliny mentions that the first remarkable
specimen of this work In the Eternal City
was floor of inlaid marble In the temple
Of Jupiter Capitolinus. The art rapidly
developed under the empire especially
during the first three centuries of the
Christian era The material of the early
mosaics was composed of small cubes of
different eolored marbles, the earliest be-
ing confined to the three colors white.
black and yellow, the designs were COM

~ HE Vatican at Rome has sent to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
IN St Louis some of fits rarest
treasures, and they are viewed
daily in the Anthropology building and
studied closely by thousands of visitors.
Contained in the exhibit are articles OF
exquisite beauty, which attract the atten-
ton Of the casual observer, and which
are Of especial significance to the stu
dent of antiquities and church history.
The display was authorized by His
Holiness, Plus X, selected by His Emil
nence, Cardinal Merry del Val. arranged
by Father Ehrle, librarian of the Vatican,
and installed under the supervision of
6ignor Francesca Cagiati, and is in
charge of Prof. G. Brady, an instructor
in st. Louis University.
Transported from the Archives OF the
Vatican in the Eternal City are some of
the earliest papal documents regarding
America, epistles of the Thirteenth Cen
tury in reference to Greenland, shortly
after discovery by the bold Norsemen.
The discovery created but little stir In
Europe, but Rome, ever vigilant and
alert to embrace opportunities, cast its
keen eye over the horizon and within the
scope of the far-reaching optic came the
icy land of the midnight sun, and the
earliest occupation of Greenland by white
men was brought about through the de-
sire of the Mother Church to extend the
faith. These precious documents detail
ing the vicissitudes of the missionaries
are the source Of much interest to all
visitors conversant with ecclesiastical his
tory.
Another treasure in the exhibit. the in
trinsic worth Of which can not be reck-
oned, is the Roll of Josue, executed in the
Seventh Century 1t consists of Is sheets,
and details how spies sent to Jericho were
pursued the preparation of the children
Of Israel to pass the Jordan, the miraeu-
lous drying up of the stream, the placing
Of a dozen stones in the middle of the
river, the removal of Il stones to be
placed as monuments of the miracle, the
erection by the 1sraelites of a monument
In Galzal. 1t further details how the
Israelites marched around the walls OF
Jericho for the last time and the city
falls into the hands of Josue, who sends
emisaries to view the country of Hal.
The scouts return and advise sending
e,OOO men against Hal, whose men en-
compass the defeat of Josues contingent
when Josue rends his garments. falls be-
fore the Ark of the Covenant and bids
Achan admit Understanding the
strength Of Hail. whereupon in the Valley
of Achor all Israel stones the tncompe-
tent chief Of scouts. The Lord comnuni-
oates with Josue, Hal capitulates. and
the city is destroyed
Josue hangs the King and builds an al
tar to the Lord upon the summit of

Japanese bridges.
