the Theatre Nazionale. It is very powerfully done,
with its prominent muscles. Its head is hideous, and he has many scars
and a broken nose. In another room is a headless statue of a young man
on one knee. This statue is very pretty, and it is a great pity that it
has lost its head.

In one room is a lovely head of a woman asleep, and lying on a velvet
cushion it looks very natural, although it has lost most of its nose. It
has a very peaceful expression. In one room are some old coins dug up
here not many years ago. Ages ago they were sent from England as
Peterpence by Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and other kings. The Baths of
Diocletian are now used in many ways very different from those they were
meant for; one large vaulted hall is used to store the wood of a
carpenter, another for coal, and a large part of the building is turned
into a blind-asylum. There is also a big church made from part of it
planned by Michaelangelo. It is called Santa Maria degli Angeli. It is a
very handsome church, and has several immense ancient granite columns.
Formerly they had been shamefully plastered over, but now the plaster
has been scraped off. On the floor of the church is a metal line on some
part of which the sun shines at meridian, and on each side of it are the
Signs of the Zodiac set in marble of many colors.

Near the entrance is the tomb of Salvator Rosa with his bust over it. He
was a good painter, but he chose queer subjects. I have seen dark
landscapes, a picture of a witch, and a group of three horrible heads of
fierce-looking brigands of his. He was a poet, too, and we have a book
of his satires. We have also some pretty songs of his, which prove that
he was a good musician. In front of these many buildings, which were
once used for bathing, is a very attractive square with a lovely
fountain which has a splendid flow of water, and in the evening it is
very beautifully illuminated by electricity. Near there is the great
Central Station of Rome.

A Newport member asks what numbers on the head-light of a locomotive
indicate. They are the number of the locomotive repeated on the
head-light, in order that it may be seen at night. A locomotive's number
is its identification on the books of the company from other
locomotives. We would like to print Samuel D. McCoy's exchange notice,
but cannot do so. The Table has no exchange column. Harry A. Light is
