The Campanile sentinel of Venice, gave its
warning.
For days the people wept over the fall Of
the great tower; stores were closed and houses
draped in mourning. But it was not the fall of
the tower alone which was deplored-as through
a veil suddenly rent. the people of Venice saw.
with startled eyes, the prophecy of doom.
In falling, the Campanile destroyed the LO-
getta but providentially it fell free of the neigh
boring Cathedral. of ST. Mark and the Doge's
Palace Had it struck the Palace of the Doges.
architects say nothing could have saved the
famous structure. And if. the other hand,
the stone tower had struck the facade of St
Mark's-Itaians hold thei- breath at the
thought.
The fall of the Campanile aroused Venice
TO a sense Of her danger. She began to look
toward her safety. The municipal authorities
ordered an investigation. Engineers, architects
and geologists went to work.
And then they discovered a terrible thing.
The mud islands on which the city was built
had begun .hifting. The sand beneath them was
giving way. And the buildings were sinking
slowly and surely sinking.
Experts found that the Ducal Library was
in danger, and ar once orders were given for
the removal of the 100000 volumes The IL

the Abbatia was ordered, and reluctantly and
sadly the DariO Palace was condemned.
Fortunately, the owner of the palace, the
Countess de Ia Baume-Pluvinel, is wealthy. She
decided upon numbering each stone and article

fear of sudden collapse, the statues-the winged
victories and symbolic fgures-have been re-
moved from the Church of St John and st. Paul
In the Frari-the Pantheon of Venice,
which contains the ashes of great adnirSls and
generals of the republic-the statues have been
disnantled Board fences have been put up be-
fore the mausoleum Of Canova, the chair and the

Bellini, and the works of Tievola have been taken

Professor Otto Wagner. of the academy of
Fine Arts, Vienna, declares that the piles upon
which the buildings Of the city were erected are
rOtting And there Is absolutely no hope, he de-
clares, of saving the city. Professor HippOlyte
Landlord, of the University of Paris, also has de-
clared that the city Is doomed.
Shortly after the Campanile fell, c. II
BIackau .well-known Boston architect made
an examination of the foundations the city
with Signor Giacomo BOni. the most eminent
architect of Italy.
Mr.. Blackall said that the city reposed on
layers of aluval clay, the irst stratum of which
ranges from a few inches to 100 feet IN depth
This lies Immediately over a bed of sand.
1t Is believed that dredging operations in the
Grand Canal and the Giudecca several years ago
caused a shifting Of the sand But still further
back is thought by many to lie the real reason.
There were grafters among builders in the old
days as well now, and to their avarice may be
due the present plight of the city.
