Henceforth the spot will be chairless

opera king had been suffering from sore
throat he offered to Saint Biagio, patron
Of the throat, an eleven.foot candle-then
the largest OF fits kind Caruso offered this
at a shrine OF Saint Biasio in gratitude for
his recovery from his illness. Ajello has
made many unusual and touching sacred
gifts OF this character. Only recently he
took molds OF the breasts OF a girl cured
OF tuberculosis, Il is said, by prayer alone.
From these molds he has modelled replicas
OF the breasts in the finest wax, and these
will be given to the shrine OF the saint,
either to rest there or to be burned as
candles as the mother OF the child may
determine.
II is interesting to speculate as to what
may happen In those eighteen hundred
years. during which for twenty.four hours
every year the great candle will shed It's
soft lustre and odor OF roses In the Naples
church. That II will keep Caruso's memory
alive Is unquestioned. Lovers OF music,
tourists. the devout will flock there on All
Saints Day to regard with wonder the
slowly diminishing shaft OF wax.
Even in the days when it does not burn
II will be an object to attract the devout
and curious alike
What changes will II see in this world OF
ours?

that the flame cannot consume
the wax to the outer circum-
ference. The result would be
that the fame would eat out
a cup in the centre of the wax
and would eventually put ID
self out.
On the other hand, a wick
that is too large not only burns
too fast, but causes the wax to
run over and form drops and
streaks on the sides.
But even II the wick Is In
just the correct ratio to the
diameter of the candle, It will
not burn steadily and cleanly
unless 1t is designed to alb
sorb some Of the wax.
In addition to the impreg.
mating process the eighteen
foot wick has been perfumed
with priceless rose extract,
given by an American perfume
manufacturer. Roses we're
Caruso's favorite flower.
Almost everyone is familiar
with the smell that the snuff
ing out Of a candle causes.
The unpleasant odor from the
Caruso candle would be great
if measures were not taken to
prevent It, But not only will
there be a faint odor Of roses
when the candle is burning,
but when It is extinguished
the odor will become greater.
After the wick had been
made and prepared It was sus-
pended from a sort OF derrick
in the Ajello factory on Long
Island, over a huge gas.heated
tank especially constructed for
this particular candle. The
candle. when completed, con-
tanned more than 900 pounds
Of wax, and the tank, in order
to hold 1000 pounds, was made
145 gallons in capacity.
The wax - unbleached, re-
fined beeswax-was heated to
a temperature of about 100 de-
grees. and then the wick was
lowered vertically in II. After
the wick had remained In the
molten wax for a short time
1t was withdrawn and allowed
to cool for about two hours
longer, If the weather hap
pened to be hot.
This dipping left a coat of
wax on the wick--a coat that
tapered in exactly the same
shape as that Of the wick. The
dipping process was repeated
again and sgain-in all, about
900 times.
II required almost four
months OF dipping until the
candle reached the size called
for in the designs!

asylum to which Ca
russo gave $4,000 a
year for many years.
These orphans, OF
whom there are now

their pennies to help
defray the expense of
shipping the candle 10
Naples. Ajello him
self made the candle
for nothing for these
grateful little prote-
gees of the tenor. In

cost, of course, many

Just how much its

who look after the
little orphans do not
want the name OF the
