I v.p| V NEWEST STATE ! RULED BY POPE ' * "City of Vatican" Contain* Most Beautiful Church and Rare Art Works. Washington.?The "City of the Veil-j can," newest state to take IU :place 1 among the nations of the world, as a result of the treaty between Italy and Pope Plus, Is the subject of a bulletin from the Washington (D. O.) heud-( Quarters of the National Geographic society. , "Although the smallest existing entity with an International status," says the bulletin, "*The City of the Vatican* embraces within Its limited boundaries the world's largest and one of its most beautiful churches: many of Its rarest and costliest nrt treasures and books; and has as Its 'capItol' the roost extensive and probably the best-known palace In existence. In addition the new state is ruled over by the pope, to whom hundreds of millions of people In all ports Of the world look as their spiritual leader. , Older Than Christian Era. "The name, Vatican, la believed to baye come from an old Etruscan settlement, Vatlcum, on the right bank of the River Tiber. At any .ate, In Roman days before the Christian era this district was known as Ager Vatlcan us, and as the years passed the name came to be attached specifically to 1 Vatican hill or Monte Vaticano. The region was not considered to be a portion of ancient Rome, but was recognized a'e a district apart from It. "Between Vatican hill and the river." a distance of perhaps a half mile, is a level area. It was there that Nero had his circus, In which St Peter is said to have been put to death. The body of the apostle is reputed to have been burled near the foot of Vatican hill, and over the spot now rises the majestic Basilica of<JSt Peter, the world's largest and perhaps Its most famous churdh. "The region of the Vatican?the tomb of St Peter?began to play a part In the Catholic faith about .10 A. D. when a small oratory was built near by. But pagan Influences were still In the ascendency in the general region and remained so even after Oonstantlne built the first Basilica of St P6ter in 819. A little later convents, chapels and chiirches began to spring up In the surrounding district, and it became definitely Christian. "The flno hill behind St. PeterV-dld not come into possession of the church until the Middle ages when popes bought portions of Its slopes, and finally-acquired ttie entire eminence. "After the right bank of the Tiber took on a Christian character, and the tomb of St. Peter gained In Importance, a residence was built near the basilica and was occupied from time to time by the popes. The pontiffs continued to live, owever. in the Lateran palace across the river and the city from Vatican hill. "St Peter's and Its neighboring buildings were tflllaged by the Saracens in 847 and Immediately afterward Pope Leo IV inclosed the church and the* Vatican property by a high, fortified wall. The Vatican then became the fortress citadel of the popes, and on several occasions It was necessary to resist sieges there. * "The Vatican buildings were added to, and by 1300 an extensive palace had arisen. Soon came the temporary removal of the papacy to Af ignon. France. During the 70 years of the exile the Vatican palace fell Into disrepair. Its restoration was begun when the popes again took up their residence In Rome in 137a After ? few yeaif the~ Vatican became the regular papal residence and has remained such ever since. "The territory of the new Olty of the Vatican is to be only a little larger than the present Vatican grounds. It Is slightly more than a half mile across from east to west, and slightly less than a half mile across from north to south. The new state thus covers about a quarter of a square mile, or very roughly. In the neighborhood of 160 acres. 4 v Palace of 1,000 Rooms. "The Vatican palace, which extends northward from St Peter's, contains approximately 1,000 rooms! The outer walls of the buildings Inclose more than 13 acres ground; and the actual buildings, exclusive oi interior courts, cover seven and n half acres. Much of the palace was not Intended to he a residence and has never been so used. Hundreds of the rooms are given over to art Objects and constitute the Vatican museum, housing one of the world's most remarkable collections. The Vatican library, filling numerous other rooms, is also one of the outstanding libraries of the world.. Only about 200 of the* rooms are tosed by the pope, his officials, guards, clerks and servants.. _ "One of the small auditions to the territory of the Vatkfcn will r probably extend the grounds on the southwest a hundred feet or so to an existing railway. Then a station, established Joat outside s gateway, will make It possible for diplomats accredited to the Vatican city and distinguished visitors to step directly onto soil of ~ the new etate^ "Uke of the states of Germany, tbe new Vatican state has 1 scattered fragments of territory under i Its sovereignty.

A bulletin from the National Geographic society deals with the little republic of central Germany. "Tburlngla la well termed the "Green Center of Germany.'" says the bub. let in. it brings a breath of medieval tiroes with Its romantic and legend-encrusted costless. Its wealth of mueical atmosphere, and its great mountains and splendid forests extending for miles.and miles. "Gothic villages drowse within Its boundaries and yreara of the past. Even the cities sfeqtn noiseless, and silence pervades the rural districts, where everything Is quiet exedpt for the little goose girl who drives her flock as she sallies out Into a century too advanced for her surroundings. . Population Mainly Teutonic. ? "The population of well over 1,500.000 Is mainly Teu^pnlc and Includes a smattering of the Wen^lsh and Slavonic element. Largef" cities of the republic are Gora, .Tcna, Gotha, Els*, enach and Uttenberg. "Germany und music festivals are synonymous. Perfection In music U sought In the event of a simple folk jubilee In a hamlet, or In a lavish exhibition In an ultra-modern theater In one of Germany's capitals. The republic of Tlmrlngla mothered such musical artists as Handel, Wagner. Bach and Liszt at different periods of their lives and almost every city of the province -haa Its memorial to music. Wagner glorified Wartburg In bis Tannhauser.' The home of Bach In the town of Eisenach contains an interesting museum. The little residence of the grand duke of Melnlngeu Is famous through the music of Its orchestra. The musical Interest In Kassel has centered about Louis Spoler; and Gottingen. the famous university town, pays homage to Handel by Its festival plays every summer. "Thurjngia claims fame nlso as the home, of the poet, Goethe. It Is rich In Goethe, recollections. The visitor is reminded that the modest place on the opposite side of the street Is the home of Goethe, that the purk he Is passing is the most beautiful monument to the artist's genius and that the openair theater is of interest because of its usqin Goethe's day. -* Where Constitution Was Born. :.the republic's capital city and the birth place of Germany's new constitution following the World war, retains muny of Its medieval characteristics. Surviving are narrow wind ing streets, houses with high-pitched gables and remnants of the grand old palace with Its towers.

And when n speed boat came cutting across the horizon, with no excuse except an apparently too friendly call with the si range fishermen, revenucrs decided to do a little Investigating. They found: ^ A group of "fishermen" bemoaning the "loss" of their pots overboard; and, a group of Ushers which suspiciously refrained from staying to, search for same, although the reve^ nuers spent some little time trawling for the lost pots, while the "fishermen" pulled away.
