A GREAT SURPRISE
Restoration of the Baths of Dio-
cletian,

| From The London Standard.
| A great and pleasant surprise now
awaits the English visitor on his arrival
| in Rome. Even those who have never
been here know by report the Baths of
| Diocletian, that huge monument Of an
| tiquity which originally covered space
| mile square and accommodated three
thousand bathers. The baths were built
by the Emperor Diocletan and his CO.
| Regent, Maximilian, in A. ID. 800
There stand on the site several
churches, including the magnificent one
Of Santa Maria degl' Angel into which
the suda torium and tepdarium of the
baths were converted by Michelangelo.
It was here that the marriage of the
present King was celebrated. Since the
baths fell into decay after the Gothic
invasion of A. d. 40 the vast halls
which remain have been divided into
comparatively small rooms and built
into the corners of the great buildings
were little wine shops. stables and fifth
rate inns. Strange as it may appear,
after passing through the hands Of many
proprietors the largest part Of the baths
belonged until last year to Signor Tit
toni. the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs,
who was for some time Ambassador in
London and is now in Paris. The gov
ernment had to purchase the land and
buildings from him, and then evicted
those who desecrated this sacred spot
This noble monument has now been re-
stored to its original magnifcence.
In this unique edifice will be held an
exhibition Of antiquities and copies Of
antique objects and monuments sent
from all parts Of the ancient Roman
Empire. For instance. Hispania -Lusi-
tania, among many other interesting OBJ
jects, have sent an almost complete
series of their municipal laws engraved
on bronze tablets Gallia has provided
models of the best known monuments Of
Provence, casts of the most famous
sculptures, and a collection of war en-
gines which illustrates the celebrated

life that silent misunderstanding grows
up between them, and lasts till the final
chapter, when wise friend opens the
eyes of both. The spaces of this mega
tive tragedy in rural remoteness are
cleverly filled in with figures from with
out, with wards that might take the
place of the children they lack, with the
interests of youth and the concerns Of
others, and with visitors from the frivo-
ious world of London. These plots with
