the most ideal parks in the country. 1t Is
situated on plateau overlooking the river
and is provided with 900 seats.
Great activity has been manifest tho last
week In track work. About twenty men
have been regularly getting out and prsc-
tiee is advancing along scientific lines.

Combes mot the ex-premier) and NJ. Ro-
hault de Fleury, who, some forty years ago,
carefully collected, studied, sifted, weighed
and compared every shred Of historical
evidence that he could find on the sub
ject and personally visited. examined and
measured many Of the principal relics
Of the cross, show some surprising re-
suits. Assuming the original cross to
have been fifteen feet high the cross
beam seven and a half feet and the cross
seven and a half inches wide by six
inches thick, which are about the dimen-
sions required by the gospel narrative,
the original cross would contain about
six and five-eighths cubic feet of timber,
or HAS cubic inches But as the or
dinary relic, which is usually bestowed
as a high favor on a bishop, is of mi
croscopic dimensions, NJ de F1eury uses
the smallest French measure, the milli-
meter, of which there are 5,625 to the
cubic inch and no less than $1,000, 900 to
the cubic foot. Then, adding the sum
total OF all the known existing and lost
relics, gives us a volume Of 10,335,055
cubic mil1iemters, or about 661 cubic
inches, which is considerably less than
half cubic foot, leaving more than six
cubic feet of the original cross unac-
counted Tor after the most exhaustive
research and careful investigation. The
wonder then Is, not that there should be
so many relics Of the cross existing, but
so very few. These relics are found
chiefly in the following places: Jerusalem
one-third cubic inches; Rome, thlrty-four
and two-fifths; Venice, twenty-eight and
one-half; the rest of Italy. seven and
one-tenth; Belgium. sixty-one and two
