Strange Arrangement of the Bodies of Deceased
in One of the Catacombs

food, fuel and papers Of the German spies
Usually some carly Christian martyr
was buried in such chambers and his
tomb served as an altar at which relg-
10uS services were afterward celebrated
The German agents evidently supposed
that the sacred character of these con-
structions would preserve them as against
search. but the military authorities have
proceeded with stern disregard of relig
iOus sentiment
AS the number Of Roman Christians in.
creased in early times and consequently
the number of burals. the originally small
catacombS were hOneycombed with gal
leries and extensions. When one story
OF them was no longer sufficient. stair.
ways were made, and another system OF
galleries eXcavated beneath. This was
followed if necessary, by third fourth,
fifth or even sixth story Of galleries.
The catacomb of ST. CaliXtus occupied
leading position. and here the bishops
Of Rome Of the third century were buried
In special crypt. 1t is said that this
catacomb concealed the principal head
quarters Of the German spy organization.
During this ancient period passages
were gradually cut to connect the neigh
boring catacombs thus joining the whole
of them together into an endless laby-
rinth. through which nobody but an eX-
perienced person. such as one OF the
monks or church officials put in charge
Of these places, was likely to find his
way. Indeed, there are gruesome stories
Of curious Americans in modern times who
have tried to explore these catacOmbs
alone and have lost themselves and
starved to death. a trained "tracker,"
however. with proper lights and some
method of marking his track. would have
no great difficulty in finding his way out
again after trip TO the deeper recesses
The German spies were, of course. trained
to such work That is why it is believed
that some, at least, OF them have escaped
to the very distant recesses of the cata-
combs 1t is uncertain now whether they
are starving TO death Or not, hut it is
thought more likely they are supplied
with provisions and with true Teutonic
tenacity are holding out until the vigil
ance OF their pursuers relaxes and they
are able to do some more spying.

The Catacombs now consist of an end

original condition. but the result of the
gradual evolution through centuries, dur
Ing which one generation after another
added to their complications. During the
first and second centuries some of the
Roman Christians built small catacombs
for the burial OF themselves, their family
and friends. These usually consisted Of
square chamber, in which a single gallery
ran around the sides about eight feet
high by three feet wide in whose sides
were cut recesses called "loculi," one
above the other, TO receive the bodies
Persons Of distinction were buried in
special chambers. or cubcula, which
opened out OF these galleries. and for
these burials carved sarcophagi were
often used, placed in arched inches or

barians. The entrances were once more
closed up and in many cases parts of the
galleries were filled, in order that the bar
barians might not lay hands on their
sacred relics and treasures and deface
their sacred decorations.
From the invasion of the Saracens in
the tenth century down to the fifteenth
century the catacombs were more or less
forgotten by civilization, but there is no
doubt that they served as a refuge for

characters, who preyed upon travellers

The catacombs reached
their highest development in
the middle OF the third CEN
tury, when Roman persecu-
tion Of the Christian was car
ricd to extreme violence.
Prosecuting officials and
mobs. refusing to recognize
the sancity of the Christian
places OF burial, entered the
catacombs and began TO de-
face their chapcls, tombs and
sacred decorations. Christ
ians then destroyed the en-.
frances with their oratories,
their open stairways and
their halls for the "agape-
none" or Christian love
fcasts. filled up the galleries
and made other and secret
entrances from neighboring
sand. pits. called "arenarlas."
Thus they completed the in
conccivably intricate and

passages, which has so
strangely furnished basis Of
operation for military spies
in our day.
During the terrible perse-

because the place had been rendered

last these reasons ceased to appeal to
the people, and the catacombs were no
longer used for burials or religious SER
vices. For several centuries in the early
middle ages they were the objects of pill
grimases by Pious Christians from all over
Europe.
Then came the disastrous invasions OF

served vital purpose to Rome. The
