PRECIOUS RELICS IN DANGER
Steps Being Taken by the Pope to
Insure the Safety Of Documents
In tho Vatican.

Father Ehrle, the well-known his
torian, who has been prefect OF the
vatican library since 1895 is shortly
to retire from his important post. and
MonsIgnore Ratti, director OF the Am
brosian library, OF Milan, has been Sc
Consequently destructive Bird, Held
lected by the pope to succeed him.
The manuscripts contained In the
vatican library number over forty
thousand and surpass not only in num-
ber but also in value and interest those
of all other Libraries In the world
combined because they have been ac-
cumulated since practically the begin
ming OF the Christian era 1t will be
necessary for Father Ehrle to remain
IN charge for at least another couple
of years In order that he may hand
over to his successor these manuscript
treasures, which must be identified
one by one
The pope, on the suggestion OF the
retiring librarian, has availed himself
of this detailed examination of manu-
scripts, which takes place whenever
new prefect is appointed, to reform the
methods heretofore adopted for their
preservation, The manuscripts are in
closed in low wooden cupboards called
"armadih about five feet high, ths
doors of which are richly decorated,
according 10 the plan in use for cen
turtles In Rome which was to combine
art galleries and libraries and thus
give room to hang pictures on the
walls over the books.
While every precaution is taken for
the preservation OF the manuscripts
from moths and dampness this old sys-
tenn Of keeping them has its great
drawbacks in case Of fire, as the cup
boards are naturally not flreproof.
Father Ehrle suggested to the pope that
every cupboard when possible should
be converted into strongbox or safe
perfectly flreproof and that two or
three large rooms should be specffical-
ly built with walls covered with steel
plates or other non-infiammablet mate
rial, to which the manuscripts that can
not be kept in cupboards could be re-
moved
His suggestion has been fully ap-
proved by the pope, who still recalls
the fire In the vatican, which but for
the Intervention of the italian fremen
might have had disastrous results,
and the necessary arrangements have
now men made to have the vatican
manuscripts preserved in such way
as to insure their safety and integrity.

Origin Of English Royal Academy

The yearly show" of works by liv.
ing artists which is held at the Eng.
llsh Royal academy from the first
Monday in May to the first Monday
in August owes its existence to a
meeting of painters which was held at
the Turks Head, Soho. on November
Il, 1859. The knights of the brush
and palette resolved that "once a year,
on day In the second week in April,
at place that should be appointed
by committee for carrying the de-
sign into execution, to be chosen an
nually. every painter, sculptor, en-
grayer- chaser. seal-cutter, and med.

"the sum of one shilling be taken

There is so much that ls painful and

bring back with him many memories
that he would gladly forget But there
are gracious and touching Incidents as
well, one of which a Companion sub
scriber who fought through the Civil
war thus recalls:
Just after the second Battle of Bull
Run and that of ChantIlly. while the
Union army lay near Alexandria and
Fairfax Court House. a certain Mas
sachusetts battery was ordered back
to Washington to help garrison the
capital.
On the outskirts OF Alexandria the
column was halted, with its head op-
posite q little story-and-a-half cottage
surrounded by an unpainted picket
fence. AS the halt was ordered, the
door OF the cottage opened, and old,
white-haired man came down the
steps toward the road with his hand
raised toward the flag was was car
ried as the guidon of the battery.
The color-bearer released the staff
from its socket and lowered It to the
ground, and the old man, who had by
this time come up to the line, drew
the flag toward him. reverently raised
1t to his lips, turned, and without a
word walked back into house
