 Count Chigi, the marshal, locks the doors on the outside and Cardinal

 put over the locks. The papal notary

 Cardinal Gasparri, accompanied by
 the three cardinals and torch bearers

 medium were placed in the robing room adjoining the chapel for use by the new pontiff as soon as the telIers announce an election. It is expected
 that, beginning tomorrow morning, two ballots will be taken daily DwellerS in St. Peters Square have

 Special telephone wires have been
 strung.
 After each vote the ballots are
 burned. A stove had been placed in
 the Sistine Chapel with the chimney
 projecting through a window.
 Tn the event of a selection only the paper is burned making a white smoke. In the event of no election
 straw is mixed with the ballots to
 make the smoke black. Thus, when
 the watchers see white smoke issuing
 from the chimney they know that a new Pope has been elected" Within the walled off floors of the Vatican are numerous separate apart
 ments, each with two or three small rooms or cells. In every cell is a crucif1x, a bed. a table and a few chairs. The cardinals spend much
 time in these cells in mediation and prayer.
 The cells are lined with cloth. If
 the cardina1-occupant was elevated by the late Pope Benedict XIV the color of the cloth is purple; if not it is gre 0n.
 When the cardinals assemble to
 6baLo the distribution of the ballots is preceded by a prayer by the Bishup Sacristan. During the voting the cardinals sit at small writing desks. Each cardinal deposits his marked ballot in the chalice on the altar and at the same time murmurs the pre- scribed oath in Latin: ''I call to wit
 ness the Lord Christ, who will be my Judge that I am elected the one | whom, according to God believe should be elected"
 Nine cardinals preside over the function of voting which usually watch the depositing of the ballots, three act as tellers and three collect the ballots of sick and absent car dinals.
 There are four possible forms of l voting, but the one most generally write the name of his choice upon his ballot.
 When there is close vote, and then only, the ballot of the Pope-elect (which like the others is distinguished
 by a verse of Scripture written upon the outside fo1ds) is opened to make sure that the future pontif did not vote for himself.
 When a candidate has acquired the required number of votes the cardinal dean asks him whether he will accent | the election and by what name he wishes to be known.
 Immediately masters of ceremonies lower the canopies upon all the car dinals' chairs except that of the pope elect and he is conducted to a neigh boring room where he is clothed in papaI garments. The cardinals then advance to pay first obedience A cardinal chamberlain is then ap- finger the famous ''F,isherman's'' ring of papal authority.
