Though tardy her recognition given

for twenty years so swayed her des-
TIMES, France made amends by CIV
ing Napoleon one of the most impress
sive tombs in the world. Unlike most
historic tombs, it is elaborate in plan,
decoration and coloring, presenting an
almost theatrical aspect; yet it is pro-
foundly impressive.
On entering the portal to the tomb
house, under the dome of the Inval-
ides, the pilgrim is at once struck by
what appears to be an unnatural, al
most uncanny quality in the light
within. For a time he cannot account
for this, but at last he observes that
the place is flooded with blue light,
from a clever arrangement in the
lunettes of the dome. Truly sepul.
chral is this light, and it's effect is
heightened by the view, across the cir
cular depression in which rests the
tomb, of a splendid altar, on which is
cast, from concealed windows at either
side, a strong yellow light, like golden
sunshine. The twisted pillars of the
altar are laid heavily with gold, and
the effect of the yellow light upon it
and upon the silver ornaments, is
remarkably striking.
