hands executed over three thousand
years ago, but If the reader is not in

to the American Cyclopaedia and read of
it:

The burial place is thought to be special
~ holy. In the time of the Bishop Ubaldo
there were brought SO ship loads of earth
from Calvary. which was scattered over
this spot, making 1t. as the Pisans
thought, the most sacred place of in
terment in the world.
The Arno flows through Pisa, as 1t does
through Florence, but Pisa has no such
bridge across the river as Florence has.
Here. however, are art galleries, insti-
buttons of tearing and fine old record of
the heroic days when Pisa held its proud
head aloft among the nations, in chivalry,
in commerce, in wealth, in the wars
of the Crusaders and in universal Inn
portance.
7 was in Pisa when the city was cell
ebrating a festival that occurs only
once In three years, La Luminare"
and counted myself fortunate at being
able to see Pisa under such fantastic and
favorable conditions. It is the festival
of Illumination, during which houses and
streets are ablaze with many colored
lights at night, while during the day
the city gives itself to all manner of
festivity. Peasants poured into Pisa from
the mountain and plains for many miles
away. Some of them wore grotesque gar
ments, but many were dressed in fan
tastic costumes that suggested the days
of the old, old Pisans. All thoroughfares
were crowded. Scores of tricksters, merry
Andrews. fortune -tellers. and magicians
were plying their art at every corner
and in every open square, to the delight
and amazement of the simple minded and
superstitious folk.
Everybody was hilarious, and I think,
I never heard more noise to the square
inch than in Pisa at that time. Bells
were changing. hawkers hollooing, cab
men swearing, children crying. women
singing, showmen yelling, and-well
everything that had breath or hadn't
breath seemed to be specially engaged
to make Pisa howl. The weather was
