SO singular, SO outside of all archi-
tectural traditions. Ivan the Terrible
had this cathedral built as thanks

According to another version of
the same legend, the car asked the
author Of the church II he could not
build still more beautiful one, and
upon his replying in the affirmative,
he had his head cut off, so that Vas
sill Blajennoi should remain without
a rival. It would be difficult to i'm

After speaking of the extraordinary

"the architect, seated in the middle
of his work, had beaten out building
au repousse," Gautier describes its
amazing color scheme, or lack of it,
as follows: What adds still more to
the extraordinary effect produced by
the Vassili Blajennoi is that it is COL
ored from base to pinnacle with the
most incongruous colors, which, how
ever, produce an ensemble both har-
monious and charming. Red, blue, ap-
ple-green, yellow, each claims its
place in the adornment of the build
ing. Columns, capitals, arches, or
naments, are painted in different col
ors that throw them out into power
ful relief. In the rare fiat Spaces,
divisions have been simulated, panels
inclosing pots Of flowers, rosettes, in
terlacing chimerical figures. Illumi-

Scene of Many Tragedies.
Here Ivan the Terrible, murderer OF
| 1000 men and women, held his grim
sway. Here, when boy, Peter the
Great saw his two uncles butchered
Here Boris Goodunuff, craftiest OF the
Doyars, smiled and cringed until his
chance came and then usurped the
throne. Here every car and scion OF
the royal line of Rurik has been
buried, usually after a violent end.
Here Napoleon's star began to set in
the smoke Of flaming houses. Here
Grand Duke Sergius was blown to
pieces by a bomb less than one year
ago. If ghosts returned to earth to
haunt the scenes Of tragedies, Mos
COW would be populated with uncan-
ny shadows.
After passing down the very streets
which only the other day were stained
with blood and strewn with corpses,
through the Red Square and along the
walls of the Kremlin, Theophile eau
tier, the famous Frenchman of letters,

Before long we reached the Kitai-
Gorod, which is the business quarter
on the Krasnaia, the Red Square, or
rather the beautiful square, for in
Russia the words red and beautiful
are synonymous One of the sides OF
this Is occupied by the long facade OF
the Gostiny-Dvor, an immense bazaar,
intersected by streets, covered with
glass roofs and containing not less
than 5000 shops. The wall of the
Kremlin, or Kreml, rises at the other
extremity, with its doors pierced in It's
steep-roofed towers, allowing a
glimpse over its battlements of the Gu
polas, towers and spires of the
churches and converts within.
