The little room is about ten feet long,
eight feet wide and seven feet high.
There is a door in one side. Through
a tiny square window fitted with a

grated inner doors into the catacombs.
Through an opposite window of the
same kind they may gaze toward the

Boston.-The tomb of Mrs. Mary

terry is being guarded carefully day
and night, to protect it from possible
vandals, by four armed guards Sc
lected by the directors Of the Chris
tian Science church in Boston. Inc
guards are members OF the Christian
Science church and are known to be
of entirely trustworthy character.
Certain members Of the First Church
of Christ Scientist of New York city
have protested against the malnten'
ance of an armed guard, but this IS
being ignored. The protest sets forth
that the action of the directors IS
comparable to that of the authorities
of Jerusalem, who set guard at the
tomb of Jesus Christ. They contend
that the placing of an armed guard
shows lack Of faith.
The guards work in pairs with two
shifts Of Il hours each. It has been
generally understood that they live
while on duty shut up in the tomb
This is not necessary If they do not
desire to do so. If the weather per
mits and they prefer it the guards
remain outside the tomb near enough
to keep 1t in plain view.
Neither do the men take any meals
IN the tomb unless they desire to dc
so. Sometimes when the weather is
severe the guards carry their lunch

were taken last year, and so relentless was
the slaughter on account Of the princely sums
offered for the fur that 10000 baby seals died
