HISTOR YOFTHE VATiCA
Famous Residence of the Pope
and His Court.
VA8T PALA0E OP MANY BOOMS
Deiigned to Be tbe Greatest Ohrla*
tian Structure of It* Kind, It COT
era an Area ot About Thirteen
Acre* and Ha* Eight Gfraad Stair'
earn Tbe Pope Haa Only Tbree
Room*, Furnished Very Simply.
Four centuries and a half have
passed since it came into the mind of
Pope Nicholas V. to make the Vatican
the largest and most beautiful palace
of the Christian world, says the New
"York Herald. He planned to include
within its walls all the offices of the
papal government Every cardinal was
to be housed within its precincts. But
little was accomplished by this pope
toward the fulfillment of his purpose,
All that he saw finished was the Tower
of Borgia and a private chapel.
Nearly every succeeding pope has
added something to the building of the
Vatican until it has become an im
mense pile of irregular architecture
descriptive of the successive pontifl
cates and telling of the individual
characters and tastes of the various
popes who inhabited the palace long
enough to leave some impression of
their own. After the popes retired from
Avignon they found their former resi
dence on the Lateran hill in ruins
and adopted the Vatican in its stead in
order to obtain the greater security
given by the Castle of St Angelo, close
at hand, a covered gallery connecting
'the palace and the fortress along the
north line of the Leonine wall.
Alexander VI. constructed what is
known as the old palace, called the
Appartamenti Borgia, and to this part
Sixtus IV. added in 1474 the Sixtine
chapel. The Belvedere was erected by
Innocent VIII. in 1490, and Julius II
united the Belvedere to the palace by
the celebrated loggie. To Julius II
the Vatican is indebted for the be
ginning of the museum, and its founda
tions were laid in the gardens of the
Belvedere under his initiation. After
his death Leo X. completed the loggie,
employing Raphael to direct the work.
By 1600 the section of the palace was
completed which includes the ordinary
residence of the pope. It is the most
conspicuous portion of the mass of
buildings rising above the piazza of St.
Peter. The loggie were inclosed in
glass by Piux IX., thus protecting from
the weather the frescoes of Raphael,
and in the course of his long reign he
made many improvements in the pic
ture galleries.
The special work by which Leo XIII.
left his mark on the Vatican was the
decoration of the Gallery of Cande
labra with frescoes by Seitz, with a
pavement of precious marbles and an
tique statuary from recent excavations,
while he built a reading room for stu
dents in the Vatican library and a new
wing for printed books, further con
ferring an immense boon on foreign
students by throwing open the Vatican
archives and providing them with ac
commodation.
The celebrated staircase, the Scala
Regia, was constructed by Bernini un
der Urban VIII. Subsequent popes
built the range of apartments for the
Museo Pio Clementino and the Egyp
tian and Etruscan museums. The fourth
side of the Cortele di San Damaso was
closed by Pius IX., who reconstructed
the great staircase leading from the ar
cades of the piazza into the court
Altogether the Vatican palace covers
an area of about thirteen and one-half
acres, of which about six are occupied
by the twenty courts, and contains per
haps a thousand halls, chapels, saloons
and private apartments, the greater
part of which are occupied by collec
tions and showrooms, a comparatively
Bmall part of the building being set
apart for the papal court.
The length of the palace is 1,151 feet
and its breadth 767. It has eight grand
staircases. The principal entrance to
the Vatican is at the end of the right
colonnade of St. Peter's, where a door
on the right opens upon the staircase
leading to the Cortile di Damaso. The
famous Sixtine chapel, which figures
so prominently in connection with a
pope's death and the election of his
successor, was formerly hung on fes
tivals with the tapestries executed
from the cartoons of Raphael. The up
per portion is decorated in fresco by
the great Florentine masters of the fif
teenth century. On the pillar between
the windows are the figures of twenty
Bight popes by Sandro Botticelli. The
vast fresco of "The Last Judgment"
occupied ML-hael Angelo seven years
and was finished in 1541 under Paul
III.
Only those strangers admitted to a
special audience ever see the small por
tion of the Vatican inhabited by the
pope. The three rooms occupied by the
pontiff are furnished with the utmost
limplicity. They consist of the bare
green saloon, the red saloon, containing
a throne flanked by benches, and the
bedroom, with yellow draperies, a large
writing table and a few pictures by old
masters.
From the windows of the Egyptian
museum one can look down upon the
Inner garden of the Vatican known as
the Giardino della Pigna, from the fa
mous Plgna, a gigantic fur cone, said
Kice to have crowned the summit of
the mausoleum of Hadrian.
The garden was the second great
quadrangle of the Vatican, planted
with shrubs and flowers under Pius
IX., but has been neglected for many
years. From the outer courtyard one
enters the larger garden, but as this
was constantly used by the pope ad
mittance was gained to it only as a
matter of the rarest privilege. Pope
Plus IX. used to ride here on his white

THE MORRIS TRIBUNE. SATURDAY AUGUST 8, 1903
FIELDS FOR JUR TBflDE
Siberia Likes American Ma
chinery, Says Agent Greener.
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT LEEDS AID
AMlat* In the Distribution of Amer*
ean Agricultural Appliances—Poa
alble Commercial Relations With
India—Cuba Making an Effort to
Restoclc Island With Cattle—Our
Flour In China.
There Is such a demand in Siberia for
agricultural machinery and appliances
of American manufacture that the min
ister of agriculture in that country has
decided to lend government aid to its
distribution. Commercial Agent Green
er at Vladivostok informs the state de
partment at Washington that a special
fund has been set aside to establish at
Habarofsk a government warehouse for
the benefit of importing jobbers, says
J. D. Whelpley in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. The pre-Amur man
agement of imperial properties will
have charge and will operate to a large
extent In American goods.
The Siberian officials state that they
are greatly in need of information from
competent sources regarding the pur
chase and importation of such
from the United States, and they ask
for the address of firms dealing in ag
ricultural machinery, price lists and
catalogues, lists of steamships plying
between the United States and Vladi
vostok and the best terms upon which
goods will be sold.
Mr. Greener also finds considerable
complaint to the effect that in quoting
prices American firms do not state their
bottom figures. What is needed is the
lowest quotation for goods, details as
to payments in cash or on time, the
latter being preferred, and several
copies of a brief catalogue in the Rus
sian language.
Consul General Patterson, at Calcut
ta, is confident that a large increase in
the American trade would follow the
establishment of a rapid and reliable
freight line of steamers between New
York and Calcutta. He says that the
only way goods can be shipped at pres
ent from New York to Calcutta is via
Glasgow, Liverpool, London or Naples,
and there is long delay in making these
shipments. Out of the $250,000,000
worth of goods imported annually by
India the United States only had about
1.5 per cent of the trade, while Eng
land had about 67 per cent and Ger
many, France and Belgium, in the or
der named, the larger part of the re
mainder.
About 50 per cent of the imports are
cotton goods, and the next largest are
iron and steel manufactures, and the
American consul sees no reason why
the United States should not compete
in these lines. He says that if a direct
line of steamers was established be
tween New York and Calcutta, sailing
not less than once every month, the
passage not to be more than forty days,
the importers could then rely upon re
ceiving their goods at specified times.
Consul Patterson also recommends
the putting of active, capable men into
the field to exploit the markets of the
country. There are no restrictions on
trade in India, the only obstacle being
the lack of rapid transit and more de
termined effort to secure business.
In line with the suggestion made by
Consul Pattex-son the bureau of statis
tics at Washington has been looking up
the figures on the trade between India
and the United States. India ranks
sixth among the exporting and tenth
among the importing countries. Last
year her exports amounted to over
$400,000,000 and her imports to $264,
000,000. Thirty-six per cent of these
imports were cottons. Next on the list
were iron and steel products. The bu
reau estimates that 50 per cent of In
dia's imports are of a class of goods
which migh* be called indigenous to
the United States and that fully three
fourths of the entire list is made up of
articles successfully produced by and
exported from the United States. Not
withstanding this fact, our exports to
India amount to less than 2 per cent
of the imports of that country.
The popularity of American flour in
China is attracting attention on both
sides of the globe. The British consul
enoral at Canton in a report sent from
China to London and published in that
city states that the demand for flour
among emigrants returned from the
United States is so great that the
quantity of flour imported in 1902 ex
ceeded that of 1901 by 95,831,328
pounds and was also some
78,400,000
pounds in excess of the average for
the past five years. Stated in dollars,
we are now selling to the Chinese $•
607,000 worth of flour annually.
The Cuban republic is making fen ef
fort to encourage the restocking of the
island with cattle, especially those of
good breed. The duty has been
changed so that breeding sheep and
cows come in free of cost, and the
duty has been reduced on blooded
stock. The government has also ex
empted barbed wire and staples used
in building fences from the payment
of the tariff duties, hoping thereby to
encourage the inclosure of large pas
tures.
Living on Peannti.
Four students of Norwich university,
three of whom are working their way
through college, during the last three
months of the college year saved an
even $30 each by deserting the frater
nity "hash house" and living on pea
nuts. says the New Haven Chronicle.
Every one of the quartet is in better
health than when he started ia on tb*
strange diet.
A Hew Plan For Huckleberry Pickers
William Gilbert, near New Paris.
Ind., is running his twenty-five acre
huckleberry marsh on a novel plan,
Bays
the Indianapolis News. Instead
of giving the pickers a share of the ber
ries Mr. Gilbert has Invited the public
to pay 25 cents admission to the marsh
nnd pick as many berries as they can
during their stay. At the opening of
the marsh there were forty-six teams
and 125 people awaiting entrance. Peo
ple are flocking thither from all direc
tions and are taking away immense
I quantities of berries, which are fine
and plentiful.

AN AUTOMOBILE YACHT.
It* Inventor Expects to Explore
Florida Swamp In Novel Craft.
Destined for service both on land and
water, the much discussed "automobile
yacht" will soon be prepared to mak
its journey to the south, says the New
York Herald. As far as both marine
and terrestrial architecture are con
cerned the amphibious craft is not a
thing to delight the eye, for it has lines
which have never been considered
beautiful.
Its inventor, Anton Schmidt, a cabi
net maker of Newark, N. J., who built
It, says that he is sure that it will do
all that is required of it either in the
water or on dry land and that soon he
will make his arrangements to go to
Florida, where he has been invited to
explore a swamp. Near Ocala, he has
been informed, there is a morass which
incloses a more or less active sulphur
volcano. Rank vegetation abounds on
the outskirts of the region, and in the
center there is an unexplored spot be
lieved to abound in sulphurous fames
and salamanders.
The vessel has had a trial trip in the
waters near Newark, and when all the
machinery is placed in it he believes
that within a few weeks he will reach
the region which awaits his Investiga
tion.
This land and water craft, as Mr.
Schmidt calls it, is forty-five feet in
length, eight in beam and has a draught
of three feet. Its total height is only
a trifle more than six feet, just enough
to permit a man to stand up inside. It
has five wheels in all, two large ones
at the side and one at each end and a
small one beneath, which serves as a
support when the craft is on dry land
and as a means of propulsion when it
is immersed. The greater part of the
power will be applied to the side
wheels.
The inventor thinks that the craft
may easily proceed at the rate of six
miles an hour on land and eight in wa
ter.
FAMOUS WOMAN SCOUT."
How "Calamity Jane" Got Her Same.
One of Her Daring Feats.
The late noted female character
••Calamity Jane," who had been known
I
on the western frontier since 1870, was
christened Calamity Jane in 1872 by
Captain Egan, then commander of the
1 army post at Goose Creek, S. D., whose
Hfe she had saved, says the New York
World. Captain Egan was shot from
his horse by an Indian. The woman
scout killed the Indian and, picking up
the wounded officer, she placed him
across her saddle and rode off to the
fort under the fire of other Indians.
When Captain Egan, who was uncon
scious at the time, learned the circum
stances of his rescue, he said to his
preserver:
You are a good person to have
around in time of calamity, and I
christen you Calamity Jane, the heroine
of the plains."
Buffalo Bill (Colonel Cody) tells the
following story of Calamity Jane:
"In 1876 Jane, by a daring feat,
saved the lives of six passengers on a
stagecoach traveling from Deadwood,
S. D., to Wild Birch, in the Black Hills
country.
The stage was surrounded by In
dians, and the driver, Jack McCaul,
was wounded by an arrow. Although
the other six passengers were men, not
one of them had nerve enough to take
the ribbons. Seeing the situation, Jane
mounted the driver's seat without a
moment's hesitation and brought the
stage safely and in good time to Wild
Birch.
Jack McCaul afterward recovered,
and some time later, while in Dead
wood, he assassinated Wild Bill, one of
Calamity Jane's best friends. The mur
der was a cold blooded one, and it was
the general opinion that lynching was
only too mild for him. Calamity Jane
was in the lead of the lynching party,
and it was she that captured the des
perado. She had left her rifle at home,
but with a butcher's cleaver she held
him up, and a very few minutes later
McCaul's body was swinging from the
limb of a Cottonwood tree and his
soul had passed over the great divide.'
Studying Witchcraft Awheel.
George L. Burr, professor of the de
Ipartment of mediaeval history in Cor
nell university, at Ithaca, N. Y., is tak
ing a trip on a bicycle through New
England in search of information on
witchcraft, says the New York Trib
une. For several years Professor Burr
has been deeply Interested in the Salem
persecution of witches and similar
movements in the early settlements.
By visiting the places where witchcraft
is said to have been practiced he ex
pects to gain large additions to the lore
in his possession.
