A balustrade made of a precious metal, weighing twenty-six tons and imported from China during the Spanish reign, surrounds the choir loft and leads to the main altar. are fourteen chapels and six altars, one of which was furnished by Mrs.

President Diaz. The richness of the interior of this church bears witness to the marked devotion of its subjects and their willing sacrifices, for within the sacristy is considered to be the finest collection of original paintings in the world, containing the works or Van Dyke, Raphael and other masters.

The oarsmen, recumbent in the bottom of the boat, face upward, propelled 'the- gondola with his feet against the low arch. We were occasionally passed by large, flat boats filled with fresh vegetables and hay from the gardens where comes a large portion of the city's supply.
