THE VATICAN PALACE.
xfs Existence In Mainly Duo to tho

xsS Existence Ia Mainly Duo to tho
builder Pope, Nicholas ".
Inc present existence of the Vatican
palace Is principally duo to Nicholas
", the builder pope, whose gigantic
scheme would startle q modern archi.
tect. His plan was to build the church
or st. Peter's as starting point and
then to construct one vast central hab.
itat for the papal administration, Gov
erlng the whole OF what Is called the
Borgo. from the castle Of SAINT Angelo
to tho cathedral. In ancient times d
portico: or covered way supported ON
columns, led from the bridge to the
church. and 1t was probably from this
real etrnLture that Nicholas began his
imagina >ne, only a small part Of
which w 'er completed. That small
portion Tn. comprises tho basilicu
and the Vatican palace, which together
form by far the greatest continuous
mass Of buildings In the world. The
Coliseum Is 195 yards long by 150
broad, including tho thickness Of the
walls. St. Peters church alono Is 2O5
yards long aud 156 broad, 30 that the
whole Coliseum would easily stand
upon tho ground plan OF tho church,
while tho Vatican palace Is moro thau
hnlf as large again.
Nicholas v. died In l455, and tho old.
est parts Of tho present Vatican palace
axe not older than his reign. They are
geperally known as tho Tore Borgia,
frem having been Inhabited by Alex
aader VI. who died OF poison in the
third Of the rooms now occupied by
tue library, counting from tho library
sides The windows Of these rooms
look upon the large square court Of the
Belvedere, and that part Of the pa,Hce
is not visible from without.
! Portions Of the substructure of the
earlles building were no doubt utilized
by Nicholas, and the secret gallery
which connects the Vatican with the
ngaTsoleu@ Of Hadrlan Ia generally At
trtbNtea to Pope John XXIII. who
diea In 141T, but on the whole 1t may
be- said tha* The Vatican palace is orig
ipally q building OF the period OF ths

Beer IL Of great antiquity. It was
manufactured first by the Egr.,tians
and aeterw'a "a by the Greeks, Romans
and ancient 9auls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus. PhSg. &enophon and others.
The Romans aie supposed to have In.
troduced the brewing Of beer or alo, as
1t was then called, to the Britons, ut
the time c. Gne iattcr's conquest by tiA
former. The Rritons continued the
brewing Of barley malt, calling It ale,
until about 1924. when ahe Germans
introduced the brewing OF hops with
the barley malt, calling It bier or, in
English, beer.
The history or the New England colo.
nies shows that the Puritans were
great beer drinkers and that for q Iona
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beer was the gen.
eral and popular drink. In the colon,
OF Massachusetts, its retail price was
fixed by law at q penny a quart. IT.

they can get the Word direct from God.

wise men and seers of old used to do,
have asked these intsliIgepces to tell
