The tower which burned
was a square, two-story superstructure
terminated by an open gallery. 1t
the facade, which was in
the Graeco-Roman style, built in 1860.
The rest of the church was in the
Gothic style.
cloisters Now Being Restored.-The
French Ministry of Beaux-Arts has
just started on the long contemplated
work of clearing and restoring the
cloister of the Cathedral of Frejus
which, between the twelfth century
and the Revolution, had become en-
numbered with unnecessary auxiliary
constructions. BY tearing down these
buildings, the long galleries with their
fine white marble columns and paint
ed ceilings will be restored to light.
The larger part of the Cathedral of
Frejus dates from the ninth century,
and one of the lateral naves is part
of an older building erected in the
fourth century.
Pope Makes Gift to BasIica.-The
Basilica of Loreto will soon possess
an artistic gift, due to the munificence
of Pope Benedict. This gift consists
of a superb drapery of silver cloth
finely and richly embroidered with
gold. The drapery was ordered by
His Holiness, from the renowned firm
of Tanfani & Bertarelli who, with
their accustomed skill and artistic
ability, have made of the work a gift
truly worthy of the donor. The dra.
perry is at present exposed in the win
dows of the firm on the Via Santa
Chiara in the Piazza della Minerva,
where it is attracting much attention
from all classes, especially artists and
workers of embroideries.
To Honor English Martyrs.-An
nouncement of the formation of a new
parish, dedicated to the English
Martyrs, at Whalley in the Stafford
diocese, means the restoration oil
Catholic worship in spot from which
the so-called Reformers felt that they
had eradicated forever every remnant
of the true faith. Situated three OF
four miles from Stonyhurst College
Whalley is sacred to Catholics through
the fact that there stood the only
great abbey, which, in the ages O.
faith, adorned Lancashire, and still
more hallowed by the memory Of thu
martyrdom of it's last abbot, John Pas
lew, with two of his monks, durins
the persecution of Henry VIII. On.
by one the historic and picturesqu,
places of Catholic England are beins
won back by the Church.
Club Sends Catholic to Oxford
Paying Fees.-Another instance o
the fine democratic principle on which
the Catholic Workers. Colleg
has been founded in Oxford come
from the North of England, wher
committee of Young Mems Clubs an,
the Jarrow branch of the Catholic Sc
cial Guild has undertaken to subscribe
the fees for Tyneside student at tn
college. The college is small, though
very ambitious, affair at present. TAX
ing the course of studies means a rea
sacrifice on the part of each student
since he is necessarily obliged to re
sign his employment, for the time, a
all events. But there is something
very fine about the way in which tn
students at the college are being main
tanned by the collections of their Cath
Ollie fellow workers, and it is on thi
splendid plan that Father Leo O'Hea
S. j., the principal of the college
hopes to increase the student body

proach.-The Municipal Council @
Paris has just voted the credit

ing in the Basilica a mosaic whic
/ will occupy surface of $50 squar
meters. This mosaic is the gift of

have seen it, this mosaic is maste
piece unequalled in our time. Til

Sacred Heart: Christ triumphant SUI
rounded by all those who have bee
distinguished for their piety and d
Ivotion to the Sacred Heart througho,
all ages.
| Mosaics of Famous Church
Danger.-M. Charles Diehl, the f
nous historian of Byzantium, hi
made known to the Academy of L
scriptions and Belles-Lettres that tt
mosaics of the church of the Dorm
ton, at Nicea, accounted among tt
finest in the world, are now in gre;
danger. This situation was reporte
in letter from the director of IL
Franco-Greek Lycee of Constantinopl
The church suffered greatly as resu
of the fighting which took place in i
vicinity between the Greeks and ii
Turks. The famous mosaics,, whit
date from the ninth and eleventh ce

of Christ and the Virgin, but the gres
er portion of the admirable works
art is still intact. Nicea is at preser
