Early next week the staging which
has been standing in st. Michaels Ro-
man Catholic church the past eight
weeks will be removed and on Sunday.
Aug. rs, the members of that parish
will have an uninterrupted view of the
decora tions which have been made un-
der the direction of Donatus Buongi-
orno of New York city. 1t is doubtful
if the interior of any church in the
STATE equals in beauty that of the local
Roman Catholic church, and the men,
bers of the parish may well pride them
selves on its appearance. Mr.. Buongi-
orno styles himself an artist painter
and he surely lives up to the appella
ton. Under his skiful direction the
interior of the editce has been trans
formed into a place of beauty which
can but add to ones spirit of devotion
through gazing upon its magnificence.
Rev. Father M j. Carmody, pastor of
the church, has supervised the work and
he and the New York artist have work.
ed in accord and have accomplished a
result we'll worth the time, labor and
money expended and which is a fitting
reward for the love for the church
which has been manifested.
The colors used by Mr.. Buongorno in
his scheme of decoration have been the
lighter tones of cream, blue and brown,
the cream and blue predominating. The
walls are painted in cream with arch-
tectural borders of light blue and ala
baster level with the bottom and the
top of the windows The dome of the
church is divided into panels of cream
with border lines of light brown and
alabaster. The gothic columns have
been painted to represent povoneccto
marble, the light blue predominating.
and around the tops of the columns and
about the doors and other parts of the
interior, gold leaf has been used with
beautiful effect
Probably that part of the decorations
which will appeal to most people with
the greatest power is a picture that has
been hung in the sanctuary, above the
altar, and which has been photographed
this week especially for The Phoenix
1t is one of Mr.. Buongiorno's most ar
tistic paintings and is called The fall
of the angels" 1t represents st. Mi
chael in pursuit of the bad angels and
is 10 feet tall and six and one-half feet
wide. In the picture are seen the angels
who, led by Lucifer. sought to equal
| God and whom God directed St Michael
| to send to the Internal regions. Mr.
/ Buongiorno has chosen the moment
| when, according to the legend, the saint
| has captured the leader of the revolt
| against God, and his hosts have caught
| the followers of Satan. This subject
has been chosen by many other paint
ers. One of Raphael's masterpieces now
in the Louvre, depicts the same scene,
! and one by Guido hangs in the church
of the Cappunicci in Rome.
| Standing with his left foot on Luci-
| fer's falling body and his right foot on
| Lucifer's forehead, ST. Michael is about
| to win the battle between the angels of
light and the angels of darkness. His
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1912-08-16

sword is upifted and Lucfer, a half
vanquished and half-rebelious look on
mis- tace, waits to be conquered and
chained. Other rebellous angels are
falling through the air and in close pur-
suit are st. Michael's cohorts. The ar
fist has caught the spirit of the story
and has depicted a powerful representa-
ton of the ancient legend.
st. Michael is clothed in armor of
blue and brown, and wears sandals. The
upper portion, fitting his body tightly,
is of beautiful shade of blue and the
lower is of brown. From his shoulders
is hung a light red robe, flowing in the
air and adding the effect of motion to
the picture. In his hand he holds a
sword of gold and streaming down his
blonde head the rays of Gods light IL
lumines his face and figure.
Lucifer is represented as falling out
stretched through the air. He is at the
point where his mutinous spirit has
wrought him evil and he can see his
doom approaching. One arm hangs help
lessly in the air, grasping his useless
javelin, and the other seems to be
reaching for support to save him from
his fall. His once beautiful wings have
been changed to those of a bat and are
of no avail.
The colors used in painting the fall
en- leader are of a more subdued tone
tOrious saint.
These are the two main figures of the
painting, and the play of light and
shade is excellently done The figures
of Lucifer's minions are shown in vary
ing pOstures, some falling headlong and
others making a last resistance. The
artist has departed from the ordi-
nary in his Interpretation of the fall
of the angels and several of St. Mi
l.
nor characters on the canvas are paint
ed in more obscure colors than are st.
Michael and Satan. Placed as it is
above the altar, the picture is in an ex-
cellent position to be seen from all parts
of the church.
During the renovation Horton d.
Walker has re-wired the edifce with a
system of concealed wiring and light
ing, and with the lights turned on the
effect is inspiring. Every feature of the
notable decorations is brought out with
vantage. A row of lights around the
arch above the sanctuary brings the
painting into added prominence.
Donatus Buongiorno is an Italian and
has studied under some of the best in
structors of art in his native land. His
headquarters are in New Yor'- city and
he has made a speciality OF decorating
the interiors of churches. He has done
much work through the West, but prob
ably his best work was done in the
church of St. Leonard at the North End
in Boston. Art critics have declared en-
thusia sticaly that his work in that
church Is on par with any other in the
New World. He is modest in his claims
for recognition from Fame, but from his
conversation 1t is easily seen that he is
devoted to his art.

President Vetoed Wool Tariff Bill

For the second time within a year
President Taft on Friday vetoed a bill
to revise the wool tariff, schedule X of
the Payne Aldrich law.
With message of disapproval the
President returned to Congress the bill
evolved as a compromise between the
House and Senate. holding that its low
rates would bring disaster to home in
dustries. He appealed to Congress, how
ever, not to adjourn until 1t had enact
ed measure to substantially reduce
unnecessary existing duties without de-
stroying protection for the wool industry
In the United States.
Il strongly desire to reduce duties"
read the message, provided only that
the protective system be maintained and
that industries now established be not
destroyed. 1t now appears from the tar
IN 8 boards report and from bills intro
ouced into the House and Senate, that
Dill may be drawn so as to be within
the requirements OF protection and still
oner reduction of 20 per cent on
most woods and OF from 20 per cent to

examiners set among other problems
one which they based on an article in
a German mathematical periodical sup
posed unlikely to have penetrated to
Cambridge. Only two men solved it.,
Mr. Stuff Oord Rayleighl and another.
The examiners asked the other man
about this problem. "Oh," he said. Il
take the II mentioning the name Of

The salty Atlantic.

Some odd disparities have been
found to exist in the sadness Of the
sea water in different oceans and iati-
tudes. For a number Of these A. Woel-
kow In his book, "Ueber den Salzgehalt
des Meeres." presents ingenious ex-
plantations. The Atlantic ocean Is
known to be about one-sixtieth more
salty than the Pacific and two-sixtieths
more so than the Indian ocean This
is in spite of the fact that It receives
considerably more fresh water drain
age In proportion to its extent, an APP
parent anomaly. But, points out the
scientist, the Atlantic itself supplies.
by evaporation. most Of the rain that
ultimately drains back into It The
prevailing west winds, on the other
hand. carry much of its moisture to
Indian or even Pacific ocean water
sheds. As no fresh water comes down
to replace this lost evaporation the
residue of the Atlantic becomes saltier.

Good Hope alone prevents this process
