La Grande, Oregon, April 9, 1912. . RAY W. LOGAN, City Treasurer. On the Occasion of Its Inauguration Five Thousand Wild Animals and Ten . Thousand Captives Were Slain In sn Orgy That Lasted a Hundred Days. Second only to the Acropolis ut Ath ens In Interest to the nutiiiuiirlun and nlKtori.m in his study of ruins of Eu rope Is the Coliseum at Home. ThLi historic ediflre was erected during the reigns of Vespasian and Titus and in honor of the latter. It is said that 00, OW Jews were engaged in iu erection for ten years.' it was n feudal fortress for u long time and dually a quarry from which were built churches nml palaces until by its cuilsecTutlou ns holy ground on account of the number of martyrs sujv posed to have been Immolated there, further ravages were stopped. It Is said-to have given seats to 67, 000 spectators and was iungurnted A. D. SO. the pame year In which Titus died, on which occasion 8,000 wild au-1 imals and 10,000 captives were slniu. ! The Inauguration lasted 100 days. An ecclesiastical tradition makes the archi tect to have been a , Christian, one Gaudentitis, afterwnrd a martyr.: This structure was originally called the Amphitheatrum Fhnium, but since ; the time of Bebe It has been known as the Colisoum, probably given it because of its enormous size. I The Roman Coliseum' became the spot where prince and people met to-. gether to witness those sanguinary ex hibitions the degrading effect of which , on .the Roman character can hardly be overestimated. The circumference of. the building is 1,(541 feet.Hie height of the outer wall Is 157. the length of the ' arena 278 fcct .and its width 177. , It covers an area of six ncres. r ' It Is only by ascending to the upper terrace that-the enormous size of th Coliseum Is fully seen, and by moon light the effect of size and tnnssiveness Is much Increased. The ruins nouth of the Coliseum are supposed to have been the Vivarium', In which were kept the wild beasts for the combats. As a general description of the build ing the following passage of Gibbon is said to be perfect. "The outside of the edifice was Incrusted with marble and decorated with statues. The slopes of the vast concave which formed the In side were tilled and surrounded with sixty or eighty rows of seats, of mar ble likewise, covered with cushion? and capable of receiving with ease about" SO.OOO spectators. ."Sixty-four 'vomitories' (for by that name the doors were very aptly distinguished! pourc:! forth the Immense multitude, and the entrances, passages and staircases i were - contrived with such exquisite! skill that each person, whether of the , senatorial, the equestrian or the pie-! beta n order, arrived at Ills destined place without trouble or confusion. Nothing was omitted which In nuy re spirt could bo subservient to the t-i venienco and pleasure of the specta tors. They were protected from the sun and rain by . an ample canopy, oc casionally drawn over their heads. The air was continually refreshed by the playing of fountains and profusely Im pregnated by the grateful scent of aro matics. J .. . "In the center of th'o edifice the nrena was strewed with tho fl'vst sand and successively assumed the most differ ent forms. At one moment It seemed to rise out of the earth like tho garden of the Ilcspevldes, and was afterward broken into the rocks nnd caverns of Thrace. Tho subterranean pipes con voyed an Inexhaustible supply of waterj. nndwhatJiadJjjs(LbcXorenjv . , ANSWERS THE CALL.

"In the decoration of these scenes the Roman emperors displayed their wealth and liberality, ond we read on various occasions that the whole; fur niture, of the : amphitheater couslstcJ either of sll.ver'or of gold Or of amber. "The poet who describes the game of Carinus In the character of a sliephcn' altracfcd to the capitol by the fain) ol luelr inaguificeuce affirms that the net designed as a defense against the wild beasts were of gold wire, that the por tlcoes were glldedlind that the 'belt' oi circle which divided the several rnukf of spectators from eacb'other was stud ded with a precious mosaic of beiiutl fill stones."
