5000 YEAR CANDLE
IN HONOR OF CARUSO
Eighteen Foot Wax Taper Be-
ing Made Here for Naples
Church.

A candle that could burn every All
Souls Day for the next 5000 years Is
being made by the firm of Antonio Ajello
Brothers of 357 East 124th street as
a memorial for Enrfco Caruso. 1t Is to
be placed in the Church of the Madonna
of Pompeii Naples, Italy. Mr.. Ajello
has been commissioned to fashion the
monster wax candle. which will be five
feet in circumference at the base and
eighteen feet In height. by the orphans
OF a home to which the singer gave
s10.0 900 each year for many years.
The identity of this institution IS being
kept secret for the present. but Mr..
Ajello admitted that each child in II. and
there are between 400 and 500. is giving
Ave cents toward the cost of shipping
the candle to Italy. Mr.. Ajello, who was
close friend of Mr.. Caruso for many
years. is defraying the expenses OF man
ufacture. The candle will be of Greek
design. coming to a point at its top. and
there will be more than 1000 pounds OF
tallow in It.
According to Mr.. Ajello, 1t will be one
of the largest candles ever made. The
candlemaker has had a derrick erected
in his shop to dip the candle into the
boiling tallow thrice day during the
ten weeks or more that 1t will take TO
make it. When It has been fashioned
It then will be painted. A figure OF
Christ on the cross will be painted at
the bottom, where also will be the name
OF each boy and girl who contributed
Ave cents, along with an inscription
dedicating II as memorial for "our
beloved benefactor."
Mr.. Ajello is not certain that he VIII
be able to do It. but he will make every
effort to have the candle in Naples by
November /. which Is All Souls Day.
He figures that 1t can be lighted for the
twenty-four hours Of every November !
for the next 5000 years. That means
the candle can be burned continuously
120, 900 hours, or approximately thirteen
years and seven months.

For time the crew fought. Then
the men learned that cussing out a

Nothing could be more gratifying than

exports have fallen off in a scarcely
less impressive manner the decrease
amounting to s143, ,056. Although
the figures for July have not yet been
tabulated, 1t was said yesterday it was
expected they would show an even
greater decrease in both import and
export trade.
While fewer luxuries are being alb
sorbed from abroad. there is however,
an increase Of $237.S24 In the value of
cut diamonds brought into the port
last June over the same month last
