every year to its support, this means
that they get annually a dividend

The cnmnnnlls Of St. Mark.

Slowly but surely the work Of re-
storing the campanile Of st. Marks
at Venice is proceeding. A high
wooden paling hides the scene of
operations from outsiders and forms
a work yard. In this space eighty
worlunen are employed either in
preparing the stone OF hewing the
timber or carrying the cement which
is needed for the foundations. A
huge, square pedestal in the middle
is all that is left Of the original
site Of the old campanile and is to
serve again for its successor. The
ground work of this pedestal is the
part on which the hands are now
engaged, and in the strengthening
and consolidating Of this under
pedestal lay the great difficulty of
beginning the work Of reconsTuc-
ton, for it was long before any
means could be found whereby to
prevent the ground under it from
