*Musée des Thermes (mû-say-day-term), and Hôtel de Cluny. Paris, 14 Rue du Sommerard.

Open Sun, and holidays, 11-4; and to strangers with passports daily, except Mon.

The Hôtel de Cluny was erected about 1480, upon the ruins of the ancient Roman Palais des Thermes. The date of this Roman structure is not precisely known, but from the material employed and the style of workmanship and decoration, it is believed to have been erected by Emp. Constantius Chlorus, about A.D. 305. It is known to have existed in the time of Julian, who was here declared Emperor by his troops in 360. Emperors Valentinian I. and Valens also resided here. These ruins are the most ancient structures existing in Paris. The street in front of the Palais des Thermes-Boulevard St. Michel-is identical with the old Roman road.

Upon the withdrawal of the Romans, the Palace became the residence of the French kings, and so continued until the time of Philip Augustus, who erected on the Isle de la Cité a new royal residence, the present Palais de Justice.

In 1515, the Palais de Cluny was occupied by Mary, the widow of Louis XII., whose room is still called La chambre de la Reine Blanche, as it was the custom of the Queens of France to wear white mourning. In 1536, James V., of Scotland, married here Madeleine, daughter of Francis I. During the Revolution, Marat here held his political meetings. In 1842, the Palais was purchased by the government and fitted up as a museum.

The Small Court, through which entrance is made, presents a pleasing specimen of a mediæval turreted château. Office of the concierge to the left; entrance to the right. Umbrellas left under the arch.

The collection comprises over ten thousand miscellaneous ob jects of Roman and Mediæval times, principally relating to the fine and useful arts, and is particularly rich in wood-carvings and faïence. For anything more than a superficial inspection, a catalogue or a guide is necessary. Catalogue, 4 fcs.

Myron, a celebrated Greek sculptor, b. about 430 B.c.; his principal works were in bronze.

Mus., and Lancelotti Pal., this last being the best. His Satyr, in the Lateran Mus., 18 incorrectly restored with castanets. See Discobolus.

Naples. The city lies upon a slope facing the east, upon the crest of which, at the southern extremity near the sea, rises the Castle of St. Elmo; to the north is the Capodimonte, upon which is the Royal Palace.

The station is located on the eastern edge of the city, while the hotels most frequented by strangers are situated along the Chiaia or shore, to the extreme southwest. The principal street extends through the heart of the city, north and south, a distance of about a mile. It was formerly called the Toledo, now the Strada di Roma.

Naples is mentioned in history as early as 1000 B. C. In B. C. 326, it became a part of the Roman territories, and was a favorite residence of the Cæsars. The last Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, died here. In A.D. 536, it was captured by Belisarius; in 543, by the Goths; in 1130, by the Normans, who held it till 1194; under the Hohenstaufens till 1268; the House of Anjou till 1435; the House of Aragon till 1496; the Spanish viceroys till 1707; Austrian viceroys till 1734; the Bourbons till 1860, when Naples became an integral part of the Kingdom of Italy under Victor Emanuel. Pop. about 500,000.

The great charm of Naples to the visitor is its unequalled scenery, and in the peculiar and multifarious phases of life which present themselves. Apart from these, there are few objects of interest. Of the 300 churches in the city, only the Cathedral with

its Chapel of St. Januarius, and perhaps a few others, will repay one who has already seen Rome. The Pompeian Antiquities of the Museum, the Marine collection of the Aquarium, and the views from St. Elmo and Camaldoli are unsurpassed by anything similar elsewhere in the world.

Among the noted names associated with Naples, are those of Virgil, Ribera (Spagnoletto), Salvator Rosa, Giordano, Vanvitelli, Pergolese, Rossini, and Bellini.

At the extreme s. e. point of the city, on the bay, is the Piazza del Mercato; thence passing to the westward along Strada Nuova, on the margin of the bay, nearly a mile, we come to the Castel Nuovo, 1. passing through the Piazza del Municipio, 1., is Palazzo Reale and the theatre San Carlo; on the r., Piazza del Plebiscito; thence through S. Lucia, where one finds a never-ending panorama of the strangest mixture of civilization and low life, good nature and careless enjoyment. Beyond S. Lucia we pass between the precipitous cliffs of Pizzofalcone, r., and Castel dell' Ovo, l.; thence for a mile along the Chiaia, with the spacious grounds of the Villa Nazionale, to the extreme s. w. point of the city.

THE CATHEDRAL, Strada del Duomo; commenced 1272, by Charles I. of Anjou; completed 1316; overthrown by an earthquake, 1446; rebuilt by Alphonso I.

Over the principal entrance are the tombs of Charles I. of Anjou and Charles Martel. Beneath the high altar is the shrine of St. Januarius; in the Chapel de Seripandi, an *Assumption by Perugino.

* The Chapel of St. Januarius, on the r., was erected at a cost of over a million ducats, in obedience to a vow made during the plague of 1527. Its decorations are exceedingly rich, having 8 altars and 42 columns of brocatello, and five paintings by Domenichino.

In the tabernacle of the high altar are the remains of St. Januarius. This saint being thrown to lions by order of Diocletian, and the lions refusing to do him harm, was beheaded and interred at Pozzuoli. In 1497, in the time of the Plague, the remains were brought to Naples and placed in the Cathedral. The liquefaction of the preserved blood of some of the saints occurs in May, September, and December, annually, when thousands crowd to see the miracle.

THE VILLA NAZIONALE (nah'-tzee-o-nah'-le), situated along the Bay at the s. w., is the principal promenade and drive of the city; recently laid out with walks, gardens, fountains, and cafés, somewhat in the style of the Champs Élysées. It is deserted
