desire that my ashes shall repose on
the banks of the Seine. in the midst Of the
French people, whom loved so well.
This simple sentence is inscribed
over the door leading to the sunken
circular space under the dome Of the
invalides in Paris, wherein rests, In
4 sarcophagus of red Finnish granite,
the mortal remains of Napoleon Bona
parte. 1t Is from the will of the great
est military genius of the age, the last
earthly request of broken man, pin
ing to his death in the shadow of his
former greatness, on a bare, wind
swept island, guarded by his former
enemies.
A generation was to pass between
the death of Napoleon and the honor
ing of his ashes by their removal to
Paris, to be laid at last by the banks
Of the Seine. When. in 1841, the bit
terness of Napoleon's acts and final
overthrow had died somewhat from
official minds, while the dying house
OF Bourbon was yet, for time, in
power, the ashes of the great Corsican
were brought to France by the Prince
de Joinville and were deposited in the
| splendid tomb prepared for 1t in the
| home the state provides.

sive tombs in the world. Unlike most
historic tombs, 1t 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 thai
the place is flooded with blue light
from clever arrangement in the
lunettes of the dome. Truly sepul
chral is this light, and it's effect Ii
heightened by the view, across the cir
cular depression in which rests thu
tomb, of splendid altar, ON which II
cast, from concealed windows at eithe
side, strong yellow light, like colder
sunshine. The twisted pillars of tn
altar are laid heavily with gold, an
the effect of the yellow light upon
and upon the silver ornaments, /
remarkably striking.
Here King-Maker Rests.
But not until he has leaned on tn
circular rail of marble directly unde
the dome, and gazed ON the centra
mass of deep red granite in the shat
owy recess below, does the travele
feel the true solemnity of the tom
house. Beneath that massive ston
lies the body of man who sent tho,
