Will INTEREST ART L0VLRS
(Svrlppe News Association)
Rome, July 6 Art lovers throughout
the world ill be pleased to learn that in
the' near future they will be able to in
spect one of the finest art collections ever
formed. This collection has never seen
the light of day since Pope Lea X.. that
mighty patron of art and learning, got it
together. That was some four hundred
3 ears ago. Since then the collection,
known as the Sancta Sanctorum, has
been shut away in the Chapel of the
Scala Sancta. It contains specimens of
eccesiastical vestments that go right back
to the very beginnings of the Christian
church. There is goldsmith's work
wrought by the greatest mediaeval mast
ers of the craft. Illuminated manusc ipts
ancient enamels, pictures by artists un-i
known to moderns, glorious things- that
were f rrr; tnwwrM of the old
Emperors; all are there. Prof. Grisar, .a
Jesuit and a great archaeologist, has ob
tained permission to overh aul the collec
tion, photigrapi it. and write a bjok on
it. Later.probably.it will de arranged
for the public to view it. Then Rome
will hava added yet another attraction to
the many she already possesses for the
world at large.

many inquiries from this country as to
the possibility of building up a trade in
American leaf tobacco in China, Consul

which he says: "Already there is consid
erable business done In foreign leaf.
Shanghai alone importing $160,000
wort last year; but this was mostly for
use of foi signers. The real Chinese
traoe is not reached. When it is consid
ered that the same port imported through
the cus'.oms alone $1,250,000 worth of
prepared native-leaf and $333,000 worth
ot native leaf, with probably a similar or
even a greater amount of each imported
through the Likin routes, it can be seen
that the real tobacco trade of China is
enormous. But the greater portion of the
fahunn ennsumntion arete into no trade
reports for the leaf is produced, largely
among theTnulberry trees, cured, and
consumed on the farms or in th villnges.
