Although ST. Peters, al Rome, as ii

years ago on the site and founda lions

fourteenth century little better than

which is the metropolitan church of
the entire Roman Catholic denomina-

worthy but impatient people OF New
York who are forever frettinG over
the slowness of the construction OF
the huge Episcopalian Cathedral Of st
John the Divine. on the Morningside
Heights Of their city, on tho banks
of the Hudson.
One of the most important duties Of
tho new archrrist of st. Peters,
| namely. Cardinal Merry del Val. will
be to supervise and direct tho work.
which is always In progress. towards
the completion Of this sacred fame. AT
the present moment the immense
pilasters of the apse OF the hasilica

But in few weeks they will appear
for the first time in all the glory of
the shining marble for which they have
been waiting for centuries All tho
pilasters OF the nave are afterwards
to be covered in the Same way. at a.
cost of $4,000 for each plaster.
| Meanwhile the greater part of tho
marble flooring, which has been worn
| away by the tread of the faithful, dur
ing hundreds Of years. is being re-
newed.
When the pilasters have thus been
clothcr with marble, st. Peters will be
complete. excepting in one detail,
namely. the filling OF the double row
Of nicnas, high up In the walls OF the
apse. the nave and the TRANSCRIPTS
These inches look quito small. and the
statues already In their place appear
| mere statuettes. Yet these statues, OF
the finest Carrara marble. are OF heroic

tons apiece. They represent the vari-
Gus apostles and saints. There are
still many vacant inches, some of them
to be occupied in tho far future by
saints who may have not yet been

Lewis is the real father OF parcel

Under this provision the postmas-

increasing the weight limit and low

that is actually what is being done,
Lewis went at parcel post just as
he Is now going at the postalization
