Who Destroyed Rome

of Nero's Tower. They are extrava-
CANT. iconclasts.
But about the burning of Rome: in
the year 1900 Karl Pascal undertook
to prove that not only is the devil
Gin this case Nero) not half as black
as he is painted, but that the incen-
diaries were no others than the early
Christians. He write a whole pam
phlet in defence of this thesis, and
he carefully refrained from quoting
single historical fact which really
supported it. Five years later Attilio
Profumo published a long and learn
ed volume refuting Pascal, and once
more fixing the blame on Nero. Then
came in 1911 Bouche-Leclercq's work
L intolerance religieuse ct la polit-
ique, one chapter of which deals with
the destruction of Rome in ga.
Bouche-Leclercq was not satisfied
either with Pascal or Profumo-he
hammered out new theory which
was this: the fire started accident
ally, but once it was set going it was
propagated both by the Christians
and by Nero actuated of course by
entirely different motives. Have we
got to the end of the hypothesis? By
no means. In the latest number of
the erudite Bolletino dell Associa-
zione Archaeological Romano the
"chiarissimo" Professor Huelsen has
an article on the so-called Nero's
Tower, and of course he could not
write without contributing his notes
to the story of the fire. The Pascals,
Profumos and Leclercqs had ran
sacked all the sciences from history
itself to psychology and metaphysics,
but they had unaccountably omitted
astronomy. The illustrious archaeol-
ogist Huelsen after consulting the
illustrious astronomer of Rome Mill
osevich, has ascertained that on the
night of the confagration there was
full moon (Which rose at 2 min
utes after p. M, and set at min
utes after 4 a. n.y., and nobody he
declares would have chosen such a
bright night for perpetrating such
dark crime. The fire must therefore
have begun accidentally. Having
made this torico-astronomical dis
covery, the renowned Huelsen pro-
ceeds to agree with the learned Lee
lercq, and even to go him one better,
for he adds: lit is very probable that
the Christians, after the outbreak of
the fire, believed they were helping
the divine work by directing the
flames especially over all that saw
ored of the Satanic, the ancient tenn
pies and idols, and the house itsel
of the monstrous prince" And this
is the way history is made in Rome in
the Xxx century. ..ts 49,: .-

Just 1850 years ago. July 18th
18th of the year ga, the greater part
of Rome was burnt to the ground in
the most disastrous fire in history,
says Rome" of July 10. That is a
long time ago, but historians are still
asking one another: Who did it?
Until quite recently nearly everybody
took it for granted that the Emperor
Mere was the incendiary. Near the
bend of the via Nazionale where you
look down today on the Forum of
Trajan. you may also look up to the
giddy heights of Nero's Tower, from
the top of which. as we used to be
told, the vicious buffoon in Purple
played his fiddle and sang his verses
on the burning of Troy while the i'm
perial city was being consumed by
his act.
As q matter of cold fact, Nero's
Tower was not built for considerably
over thousand years after Nero's
time. But hard by until the XVI cen
fury stood the majestic ruins of an
old Roman building which had come
to be known, rightly or wrongly. by
that name and to which the same ira
dition. history or legend as it might
be, was attached.
Even today the Romans are not al
ways meticulous about the identity
of historic sites. A certain house,
for instance, has marble slab with
the inscription: "In this house dwelt
Michelangelo" etc.; in the course of
time the house is pulled down; the
Roman municipality picks up the
marble slab, puts it in a cellar, for
gets al labout it, finds it again, and
sticks it on some other house more
or less in the original neighborhood.
Strictly historically, of course, Mich
elangelo never did live-not really
in an edifice erected at the end of the
XIX century, but then he certainly
lived in some house or other in Rome
and besides there was a marble
slab which had to be placed some
where. Some years since Rome erect
ed a monument to man called Sped
alieri as the real Herald of the Re-
volution which has made the modern
world what it is. 1t was discovered
almost Immediately afterwards that
Spedalieri was never the Herald of
anything, but a highly respectable
old ecclessiastic of Sicily, who
would certainly be the most aston
ished man in Europe today were he
to behold himself lording it in ever
lasting bronze over Roman piazza.
Some people might be- for melting

FACTS IN THE CASE.
Statement From Irish National
League of America,

The Irish National League Of Am
erica has sent out the following
statement of the facts of the case
about the Ulster opposition:
1--WE assert that tive-sixths of the
people of Ireland are in favor of
home rule. We assert that the ma
jority of the people of Ulster are in
favor of home rule. Both statements
are susceptible of mathematical dem
onstration, for the elected parliament
tary representation from the whole
of Ireland is made up of IS Home
Rulers to 16 Unionists, and from the
province of Ulster there come II
Home Rulers to 16 Tories, every
county and the city of Belfast having
at least one Nationalist representa-
tive.
1--WE assert that in aggregate
wealth, instead of being the first,
Ulster stands second to the province
of Leinster, end that in per capita
wealth, both Leinster and Munster
exceed Ulster, the latter being the
third of the four provinces into
which the island lis diveded.
1--WE deny that home rule is a re-
ligious question, and we proclaim
that those who assert otherwise, will
fully attempt to deceive. The FORE
most Catholic in Great Britain is the
Duke of Norfolk, who is bitter op-
ponent of home rule, and he, as we'll
as the chief whips of the Tory party
in the house of commons, are avowed
Catholics and radical supporters of
Carson and his tactics. On the other
hand, the whole history of National
list Ireland is a protest. Robert En-
met. Wolfe Tone, John Mitchell,
Thomas Davis, Charles Stewart Par
nell, the best loved leaders of the
Irish people, were all Protestants,
and today in the ranks of the Irish
Parliamentary party are Protestants
like Stephen Gwynn, William Abra-
ham, Capt. Donelan. James Hogg.
Swift Mcneil, Richard MCGEE and r.
w. Russell, and outside of parlia-
ment there are staunch supporters Of
the Irish cause like Lord Pirrie, head

trimmed simply with rose, a quill,
or snappy bow. The shape itself
is suitable for as many diverse occa-
sions as its trimming. or the material
used in its making.
The next illustration is of model
in brown grosgrain taffeta, which is
both new and smart. The waist is
made with an overwaist which has
a ripping cape in the back. This is
worn over plain waist which but
tons down the front. A tunic, tucked

is worn over tighter underskirt
of striped taffeta, while wide sash
of striped taffeta ties with a large
bow just below the cape in the back.
For winter suits and separate
coats the pile fabrics. such as velvet,
plush and the many imitation fur
cloths, are most fashionable. For
the very dressy afternoon costume a
delicate pile material. combined with
velvet or with a chenille striped fab
rio, is stunning. The basic material
for these stripes is usually chiffon or
soft satin.
Lace will be used this Fall on af-
ternoon as we'll as evening gowns.
White or cream lace tunics over
black are very good and often worn
with the fashionable basque waist
of satin, or velvet. Net with satin
or velvet bands are, also, smart and
used in the same way whether in
black or white.
The style of wearing the hair is de.
cidedly changed from last season
when the ears and line of the hair
on the neck and brow was invisible
but now the hair is combed straight
from the back of the ears, leaving
the ears exposed. To be absolutely
correct in Paris the hair should be
drawn away from the forehead, leav.
ing it perfectly bare. Another way
becoming to the woman with high.
forehead is to have the hair parted
on one side, not waved at all, but
drawn back from the face with a
light, straight fringed bang falling
over the forehead.

lively Combined Plain and
Striped Serge.

The arrival of wider and fuller
of them are held out by a heavy cord
in the hem. Then there is the long,
full tunic, often made of lace with a
tighter underskirt below. Around
the edge of the tunic are wreaths of
artificial roses. The waist is of lace
or tulle and the line of the low neck
is outlined by these same roses.
The 1870 style of bodice which is
so stylish now is almost always seen
sleeveless. It has long waistline
and strap over the shoulder. This
waist conforms more to the figure
than the waists of few months ago
and has lining of chiffon or very
light weight silk. A striking gown
of this type, which have just seen.
was made of very dark blue soft
silk. The straps which went over
the shoulders were not applied but in
one with the dress and so wide that
they dropped we'll over the shoulder.
About the round cut decollete neck
was an inch wide beaded band of
jet. The sleeveless armhole had
band of beaded insertion. composed
of a series of long bugles placed
crosswise, with small bead on eth
er end at the edge. A six-inch bead
ed girdle encircled the waist droop-
ing well over the hips. The skirt
had long and plain tunic. slightly
fulled at the waist. Just below this
was noticeable a tight-fitting under
skirt
The modern crinoline dress is in
deed paradoxical when one thinks
that although skirts seem fuller there
is always tight skirt underneath.
In fact, in one of the late French
magazines was shown a wonderful
gown of sheerest pale pink organdy,
and showing through was the figure
swathed from waist to ankle.
The materials for fall suits include
broadcloth, gabardine, serge, prunel-
la colth and a new heavy cashmere.
These materials are also used for
dresses, as shown in my first illus
tration, which is made Of plain dark
blue serge and novelty blue serge
with a fine stripe of white upon it.
The two materials are combined
charmingly. Sleeves and double cir
cular bands are Of the plain serge
while the lower part of waist and
skirt is Of the stripes. Dainty collar
and pointed cuffs of linen are charm
ingly embroidered at the corners
with a floral design. adding femi-
nine touch of daintiness. A large,
fiat sailor shape. called by the Paris
ians "canotier," is worn with this
costume.
The wide trimmed sailor is the
hat of the moment. It is flat with

1--WE assert that 'Ulsteria' is sim
ply form of political agitation like
the war cry of the Bloody Shirt that
years age inflamed the North against
the South in the United States. We
declare that it simply covers the at

power to continue themselves illictly

pressed will of the parliament of
Great Britain and the overwhelming
majority of Ireland"
