There is one peculiar effect in the
lighting of the tomb which is regard
ed with superstitious veneration by
many of the French. On the alter,
which is on the floor above the crypt,
there is always flow of golden
light during the daylight hours due
to the pale amber glass of which the
windows are made. The remarkable
thing about it is that the glass has
some property of concentrating the
light so that it actually seems
brighter around the altar than in the
outer air during cloudy weather.
Scientists say this is due to flaw in
casting the glass for the windows.
The designer of the chapel was
summoned to st. Peters at Rome in
the effort to secure the same lighting
effect in that edifice, about five years
after Napoleon's tomb was erected.
But he did not succeed in reproduce
ing the effect.
When NAPOLEON himself was at the
height of his victorious career it is
known that he had the tomb of Fred
erick the Great of Prussia opened.
He also ordered the reputed tomb
of Charlemagne to be opened and
took therefrom a small gold chain
which he wore constantly.
1t passed into the hands of Napo-
leon III and, when the latter was de-
throned in 1870, it was handed over
to his son. The latter was killed in
the late los while with a party of
English troops who were scouting in
South Africa during the Zulu wars.
The savages stripped his body, but
left the charm around his neck, and
it was returned to his mother, the
former Empress Eugene, who still
survives in England.
What Napoleon's object was in
opening the tomb of Frederick the
Great is not known, although he NOR
allied on the subject to some of his
marshals and generals, using the
skeleton of Frederick to point an il
lustration of how fleeing earthly
power and glory may be. Some &C.
counts say that he also removed a
ring from one of the skeletons fin,

family to the ordinary decencies anC
humanities of life, it is not to b,
wondered at that the French becam,

Icons tomb might be opened. Indeed
it seems that the authorities in sup

In recent cable dispatches from
Europe, the erstwhile German en-
man emperor. now plain Bill Hohen-
zollern, is again made an object OF
interest. The latest item concern
ing William and his pending trial by
the allies sets the date for that inter-
esting event as some time early In
1920.
In some of the articles sent from
abroad he is referred to as that
pinchbeck Napoleon" 1t is hard to
see the reason for imposing even this
left-handed title upon him, as by no
stretch of imagination could he ever
have been credited with Napoleonie
qualities.
But the use of Napoleon's name in
connection with his recalls state
ment made by Ambassador Gerard in
his writings about his four years in
Germany-and also brings to mind
one of the wierdest rumors of the
late war. This was to the effect

that the Germans intended to carry
off Napoleon's body.
In the ambassador book he states
that the emperor and the crown
prince of Germany both had great
admiration for Napoleon and that
the crown prince could even be called
an enthusiast on the subject His
collection of relics and mementos of
the great Corsican were then said to
be one of the finest in Europe.
Well, the crown prince and his
father have had their fun, and it is
their turn to pay for it. But the ad-
miration both showed for Napoleon,
which was based entirely on Napo-
Icons skill in military affairs, caused
a grewsome sort of story to be cur.
