A prcpo* of the meteoric season, the Fi'jaro remarks that the French peasant women believe these falling stars to be the wandering spirits of children who died unbaptised. “ Every year at this time,” say they, “the spirits apply to be admitted into Paradise. St Peter admits a few—those for whom plenty of masses have been said—hut puts off the others for another twelve months.” Among the many artistic objects that will figure at the forthcoming International Exhibition at Vienna, one of the most interesting will be the model of Solomon's r |'emple, carved in lime-tree wood, from the description of Flavius .}os< pluis. Some idea may be formed of the size of the model when it is stated that it occupies a space of 225 snip re feet, and that 23 crises will be required to transport it to its destination, the Vienna Exhibition bhilding. fFor coniinuaiivn of flaw see Jvurlli puye.)
