THE PANTHEON. It Has Withstood Vicissitudes of Over Twenty Centuries. Chicago Journal. The Pantheon is the most inter esting of all the interesting places of Rome. It was used for its present purpose as a pl# of religious wor ship before the foundations of the Coli. .um was laid. Its huge doors have opened to admit the great ones of the earth, from Augustus Caesar to Napoleon, an assertion that will scarcely be disputed. It stands in the very heart of old Rome, and the vicissitudes which have befallen the Eternal City during the 2,ooo years of its existence have left it practically unchanged. The -gilded bronze that lined its roof has been carried off to "decorate" St. Peter's, where, in the form of clouds and Cupids, cords and curtains, it fills the beholder with displeased amazement. Its tiles of bronze and gold were removed to Constantinople 1,500 years ago, and the statues which adorned it have long since perish ed. But the mighty walls yet stand, firm as ever, sweeping up to the majestic dome, the largest, though not the highest, in the world. One hundred feet across, a hundred feet high and perfectly circular, no architect could design a building more perfect in its proportions, more harmonious as a whole. It is lighted solely by an aperture in the dome, a circle thirty feet across, Standing on its marble floor one looks up to the greatest dome man ever raised and through that the blue dome which bends above it, sending summer sun or winter rain through those bare wards of.space. The effect is so impressive, so en tirely unmatchedl and unrivaled, that the dullest of hearts and most un taught of minds must perforce ac 1mowledge its influence. A man may think St. Peter's ."disappointing," 2may condemn the Coliseum as bar baris or decide that he does not care for the catacombs, but every man who has viewed it has been impress ed, even to the pitch of respectful silence, by the Pantheon. The huge leaves of the bronze door revolve on their mighty hinges as they have done since the days of the Caesars, and so perfectly balanc ed are they that a woman's wrist can unclose them. Through those doors they carried Julia, Caesar's daughter, with all the pomp of her imperial power about her. And after the lapse of twenty centuries King Humbert was brought across the selfsame threshold to sleep his last sleep in the ancient place. "Aren't you 'going to see that per formance?" "No," answered Mr. Cumrox. "But it is said to be very artistic." A#That's why I am not going. When people say a thing is 'highly' artistic they are so often trying to apologize for 'its being unpleasant." -Washington Star. * We desire toths + and prosperous N is deeply apprecia for our own.
