one of the most popular excursions this year Written specially for the Era To the Lions BY A BANKER Probably the most magnificent build ing ever erected upon this- earth was Coliseum at- Rome So vast was the structure that seating accommoda tion wag provided for nearly ninety thousand spectators while the arena was of that extent that on the open ing day it is accorded that amongst the snorts provided for the inaugu ration ceremony no less than five thou sand lions tigers and- other- wild beasts were loose into it with a few hundred devoted Christians who rather than abjure their holy religion were ready to be torn in pieces and devoured by those hungry beasts of prey Although the ravages of time and still more the vandalism of the dark ages when marble erection was utilized as a quarry wherewith to shrines and palaces have marred and disfigured and in part destroyed the wonderful pile yet even after eighteen centuries that which remains still an imposing and colossal struc ture But if the traveller to the extreme summit and stands upon the very tier of those massive galleries his wonder at its immense solidity and prodigious dimensions must soon give way to a long train of reverie as he calls ho mind all the sanguinary horrors which from very first and onwards for centuries were enacted down below in that fate ful arena on that opening day were tier upon tier all the rank and fashion all the brave and all the fair of that old of the seven hills But no not all the brave not all the fair Rome were seated in those tiers of luxurious couches For im mediately after the plaudits have sub sided which greeted the entry of the great Caesar and which drowned even the continuous savage roaring of that vast horde of hungry animals a large number of Christian convertsnobles and their wives centurions soldiers orators fair girls old men even young children of all sorts and conditions- are led unresistingly into the great enclosed space Many of them arc- singing hymns and though natures horror of death has perhaps blanched the face of some yetno one amongst all those hundreds will deny lov ed Master even for dear lifes sake And now at a signal from Em peror the janitors have thrown open the numerous gates and the famished beasts burst forth info the arena with hideous and appalling roars and fero ciously leap upon the devoted martyrs So terrible is now the spectacle that some even of hardened Romans are transfixed with horror Here a fair young maiden attacked by bears and tiger and lions madly fighting each other for possession of the prey J- I H
