and in the cells Of his friends. The fig-
ures of the angels, trumpeters and ma
donnas are marked by the greatest sim
plcity, dellcacy and grace. An added
charm is gained by the brilllancy OF
color This talented artist embraced a
monastic life when he was young, and
when not engaged in prayer he was busy
decorating the cell walls. Vleing IN In
terest with Fra Angelico's paintings are
the two small cells that Girolama Savona-
rola occupied. In one cell Is seen the
shirt, rosary, the chair and fragment
from the pile on which he was burnt.
Here are also shown a copy Of his ser
mons and his well-known treatise against
Trial by Fire. In one cell is an ex-
quisite little Fra Angelica OF the Madon-
ma and Child surrounded by angels. 1t
is difficult to imagine anything sweeter
and more pure than the faces and atti-
tude of the angels. In another Is the
Alteration OF the Magl, with lovely
predilla. One of the handsomest palaces
Is the Bargello, which was built as the
palace of Podesta, a criminal chief.
Splendid as this place was in the begin
Ing 1t was enlarged when the Ghibillines
came to power. When the Medici and
Rucellai besieged the Duke Of Athens. he
took refuge here. The court walls are
decorated with shields and splendid
carvings. A long flight of stairs ascends
to the upper loggia, which was once
used as Council hall. In this great
hall is seen many of Donatelos best
works. The magnificent strength of this
great artist is seen with telling effect In
the famous lion. He paws upon shield,
and every muscle is SO full Of action one
can hardly imagine that this strong ami
NAL is not alive. Another striking statue
is of David, with his foot on the head
of Goliath. Though David is less large
and virile than Michael Angelo repre-
sented him, still he is full OF manly
beauty.
The center of interest here 10 the Luc-
ca della Robbia choir boys, beautiful bas-
reliefs of young lads singing In all their
child-like enthusiasm. But Florence had
a more marvellous art history than po-
litlcal life During the Renaissance her
artists were without rivals and their
work was the admiration Of the world.
Andrea del Sarto,l Raphael and Michael
Angelo were only three Of the many mas
ters whose talent adorned Florence.
Inc records or tneir WORK are preserFou
In the Pitt and Uf1zi gallery. 1t would
require book of not few lines to do
justice to these masterpieces. There are
several noteworthy marbles in the corrl-
dor Of the UfiEi including the famous
Florentine Boar and two wolf hounds
that are full OF action. A great master
piece is the famous statue Of a boy
taking O thorn out OF his foot. Much ease
and grace are seen In the poee OF the
f0ura a fouch of prant naturalnaaa Ia
given by the one leg resting on the
other. The great treasures Of these gal
leries are In the Tribune built to hold
precious gems but which now holds paint
ings and statues. The most splendid
marble here Is the Venus de Medic.s. 1t

The next day he sallies forth to see
Florence from a different point of view.
He goes toward the Piazzo del Duomo,
that wonderful pile of marble not even
outdone by the Duomo of Pisa. The
Baptistry, the Campanile and the Cathe-
dral suggest Three Graces. so proud are
they OF their own pure beauty. The
front of the Cathedral is beautifully dec
grated with Mosaics, and the nitohes
above are ornamented with figures of the
Apostles. In the center of the pedlment
is large bas-rellef OF Passaglea, 1t
represents the Virgin seated, surrounded
by seraphs with magistrates Of the Flor
entine Republic, various saints, etc. The
mosaics are done with exquisite skill,
and the many bright colors are In splen-
did contrast to the white marble.
Handsome though are the heavy bronze
doors Of the church, they are overshad-
owed by the great Ghiberti doors of the
Baptistry. When Michael Angelo FIRST
laid eyes on this exquisite work he ex-
claimed, 'This should be the gate OF
paradise" The gate is divided into ten
compartments and depicts many OF the
most important incidents in the old testa-
ment. Though every inch is filed with
figures, there Is no crowding and each
figure Is brought out with great distinct
ness No less beautiful is the north door

Medici, and the Duke de Nemours, the
third son of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The
large chapel is covered with rare marbles
of many colors, while the ceiling is dec
Grated with an exquisite fresco. In a
small chapel are the four famous statues
of Michael Angelo, wonderfully beautt-
full, though they are still unfinished The
first to the right Is the tomb of GuilianO
de Medici, brother Of Leo X. On either
side are two graceful statues, one of day,
the other Of night. They are wonder
fully lifelike In their simplicity
The second monument is the one to
Lorenzo de Medici, the Duke OF Urblno.
From Its deeply meditating attitude this
statue is commonly called "Il Pensaroso,"
the thoughtful. The Duke Of Urblno is
seated in a chair, his head rests on his
elbow and his face Is yelled In thought.
Beside him are the figures OF Twilight
and Dawn. Dawn is seen as a lovely
girl. while Twilight, with a beautiful face
and a wonderful soft expression. is en-
joying perfect rest, as the relaxed poise
and the raised knee show.
The eyes are dazed, and the head is
tired with NIL this splendor, so the tray
eler wanders home, realizing that Flor
ence is not to be seen In a day or
week. The best way to enjoy this city
Is to absorb her beauty leiBurely.

by Ghiberti, which was finished after 20
years of work.
In the competition of the making Of
these doors, Ghiberti, a youth of 20, was
given preference to all other artists Of
his time. An added touch to all this
splendour Is the Campanile, built of light
graceful arches OF black and white marble
The wise traveller does not gaze at
these beautiful buildings until he is tired,
after his eyes have feasted on these mas
ter-pieces while he moves away, saying
that he will come back again. He moves
on to the Monastery Of San Marco. He
enters the graceful cloister and he comes
mp in a garden Of roses. iris and myrtle.
Glancing up at the walls his eyes feast
upon some splendid frescoes belonging
to later time than Fra Angelica, though
six Of the best are the work of this great
master. The Chapter House has also

Though very little effort has been spent
trying to preserve these masterpieces,
the coIors are quite as brilliant rs they
were some centuries ago. But 1t is only
after one visits the small cells above
stairs that one realizes the real beauty OF
Era AngelIco's talent. For his most per-

they were painted with affectionate care
on the walls Of his conventional home

NINETEEN KILLED IN WRECK.
Thirty-nine Injured on the London G. North

Northwestern train. made up Of passenger
coaches. bound from Scotland to Bristol. left
the rails as II was entering the station here at
an early hour this morning. Nineteen persons.
including ten passengers, were killed and thirty
nine We're injured
The line over which the train was running
curves sharply as it nears Shrewsbury. and
there is a standing order that the engineers

leved TO have been the cause OF the accident.
The engine and all the cars. with the exception
OF the last one, left the rails. and when the off,
cials from the railroad station reached the spot
the cars were a tangled mass Of wreckage. The
wreck did not catch fire, but the doctors and
salvage crews had 70 work in darkness and
pouring rain. which retarded rescues. and sew
eraI hours elapsed before the last body was
taken out.
The killed included the engineer and fireman
and the guards and postal clerks who were in
the mail car Immediately behind the tender.
II is suggested this is the third accident of
a similar kind within a year to a train entering
a station curve the cause may be found in
the failure of the vacuum brakes to respond.
