Art Director Dead.-It is only a
short time since we had to record
the death of Professor Gentii, direc-

another faithful old servant of the
Holy See in an allied department, Pro-
fessor Cavenaghi, art director for the
galleries and other paintings in the
Apostolic Palaces, the magnitude OF
whose charge will be recognized by all
who have ever visited that wonderful
storehouse of art which is the Vatican.
He was IA years old and his reputa-
ton was first gained in the north OF
Italy, at Milan and Brera, but special
ly in the restoration of the famous
fresco the Last Supper" of Leonardo
da Vinci 1t was Immediately after
he had completed that work that he
was called to Rome to take charge of
the art of the Vatican Galleries. Here
he carried out great deal of reor-
ganizing work and restoration, par
ticularly in the frescoes Of the Sistlne
Chapel and the "Stanze" Of Raphael.
His last actual work was on the por-
trait of Cardinal Rampolla in the
Vatican Library. He died at Milan,
the Holy Father sending special
blessing through the Cardinal-Arch-
bishop.
Memorial of Eucharistic Congress.
The clergy and faithful of the Isle

great fetes the monument erected at
| Valetta in memory Of the twenty
| fourth International Eucharistic Con-
gress which was held in Malta in
| 1913. The work, Which is that of a
| Maltese artist, Antonio Sciortino, is
a piece of sculpture representing the
| Divine Redeemer in His earthly habit
walking, staff in hand, as He must
| often have been seen, on the roads
of Judea. At His feet. a suppliant
as he passes by, is female figure
representing the faithful island OF
| Malta. This figure is very beautiful
Her upraised hands are supported on
a sword-hilt which is tWined with
grapes. An inscription on the base
of the monument recalls why it was
set up and gives the dates of the
congress, which is still a beautiful
memory to SO many Catholics. The
results of the congress continue tc
be felt in the island, where devotion
to the Blessed Sacrament and fre
quent Communion have followed thC
congress, which is every year com
memorated faithfully with beautiful
fetes in the present month.

lnvuInerabe But Helpless.
Finally, in the reign of Charles VII,
the complete cuirass appears, aug
mented by shoulder pieces and the
gorget, which united the armOr to the
round helmet. The knight was now
practically invulnerable, but so
weighted down and so awkward Of
movement that once dismounted he
was at the complete mercy of his foe.
To lessen his chances of being dis
mounted, therefore, his horse was
equipped with armor. the tout en-
Semble being a sort of medieval tank.
The man on foot, however needed
greater freedom of movement, and so
wore considerably lighter equipment,
namely, helmet, shoulder pieces,
shield, arm and thigh pieces, knee
pieces and a short coat of major
haubergeon-to which was added, in
many cases, an abdominal demicuir
ass. This equipment may appear
again on the modern soldier practical
ly as worn by the foot soldier in the
reign Of Charles VII.
The elaborate armOr of the knight
which, in its completion, had meant
the patient acquisition Of centuries
was made useless in the space of some
ten years by the Introduction of gun
powder. AS early as the beginning Of
the fourteenth century, projectiles mad
become capable of piercing the armOr
in use at the time. and little by little
the use of such defense disappeared,
the tendency being to substitute fab
ric for metal protection. This gave
birth to the epaulet horse-tail plume
the shake and the hearskin cap. With
modern wars. a new device Sprang up
namely, individual protection by
means of the inviSbility of units and
scattered formations. From this orig
mated the idea Of the service uni
form.
Such methods of individual defense
were quite satisfactory for combat at
great distances; but in stationary
fighting or in trench warfare it is
quite another matter, and once again
the question of individual armor has
arisen, and already we see its use
in the shape of the steel helmet. the
heavy breastplate worn by the Ger
man soldier, the lighter breastplate
worn by the English, the armored
waistCOats of the Italians and the
trench shields used by all armies. The
idea of the new armOr is not, like that
of the Middle Ages, to give complete
protection. 1t is rather to defect than
to stop missiles, and it does this with
a sheet of metal that would be easily
pierced by bullet striking it at right
angles.

enough to carry.
Revive Work Of Old Masters.
This question of weight and there
fore praCticability of armor for the
man on foot-the man who makes a
charge-reverts to the time of Louis
Nv of France. when the use of defen-
sive protection had practically disap-
peared and an attempt was made to
revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the
development of armOr from the time
of side arms until the use of firearms
is one of exceeding interest at this
time, in that the government is re-
viewing the work of some of the
greatest of the old masters in armor
making, with view to reinstating the
best and most feasible of the old meth
DDS of defensive protection.
The use of armOr dates back to the
ninth century B. C. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
ductiOn of gunpOwder. The helmet was
the first body protection to appear and
was followed by the cuirass-the lat
ter being used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans and reappearing at the time of
Charlemagne in the form of q waist
coat made of overlapping metal scales
and of rather imperfect execution.
What Norman Warrior Wore.
In the eleventh century, according
to the BayeauX tapestries as well as
the seal of Richard Occur de Lion, we
find the coat of mail assuming first
the shape of a redingote and later that
of bathing suit, completed by he'll
met conical at the nose. This, together
with the use of leather plates on the
feet and hands, constituted the equip
ment of a Norman warrior.
A study of the sculptures of the
Reims cathedral and the evangelia-
rum of st. Louis (NatiOnal library
points to the development, in the
twelfth century, of a perfected coat Of
mail, metal combination united with
the helmet by a passe-mOntagne of
steel links; the whole constituting a
hauberk, protected the warrior with
the haube-a cylindrical helmet made
Of pieces Of forged metal adjusted by
rivets and pierced by two peepholes
At the beginning of the fourteenth
century the desire to protect the joints
caused the placing of metal plates at
shoulder and knee. The haube disap-
peared and was replaced by n helmet
of type called Bassinet, with a NOV
able visor pierced by holes to permit
sight and ventilation. BY the middle
Of the fourteenth century chain armor
