POPE GIVES DIRECTIONS
FOR BUILDING HIS TOMB
His Holiness Will Be Laid to Last
Rest in Crypts of
st. Peters.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.


ROME. March Is, 1919.
Under the Pope's directions prepare
tons have begun for the building of his
tomb. 1t is the desire of his holiness to
be buried in the crypts of st. Peters.
The tomb is simply recess in the wall
of the crypt. and it has been made large
enough for the reception of a coffin
Every preparation has been made, and
the recess has been covered up with
brick SO as to be ready eventually for
slab of marble on which the name OF
his holiness will be engraved after the
burial The Pope has decided that the
body of Leo XIII. his predecessor shall
remain in ST Peters instead of being
moved to ST. John Laterans
The cryptS occupy space under the
nave of the modern basilca. and por-
tons of them formed the crypt OF the
ancient church Little change has been
made through all the years In these
crypts are the tombs of several Popes
and a number of important personages.
Few people have been through the crypts.
which are carefully guarded. Though
some of the earlier Popes were buried
in the Catacombs, it was not until the
time of Leo / that st. Peters became
recognized as a place of burial for the
Popes.
Originally they were buried in the fore
court only, but later on the tombs were
made in the interior. Unfortunately,
some of the oldest tombs have been de-
stroyed, but there still remain a number
of ancient monuments.
Most of the early Popes had monu-
ments in the old basilica, but several
were removed to other churches and
chapels founded by their families The
greater number of Popes buried in the
crypts are laid I'm the north aisle, where
is the sarcophagus Of Boniface VIII,
with his recumbent statue. On the head
of the statue is the tiara, with the double
ring of gold, first used by him.

whose monuments were removed to S.

POTATO PEELER NO GOOD.
Navy Department Wants One That
Will Pare Irregular Shapes.

Unless some Of the wizards who are i'm
proving upon nature can turn out a
spherical ''spud' the navy must find a
better potato peeling machine than the
electric device now in use. The de-
partment has sent out an appeal to inven-
tors to submit a device that will economi-
cally pare potatoes of irregular form.
The official statement SAYS 1T seems
that the present machines do a most eff
fective and acceptable job on a perfectly
round potato. but when the murphy ar
