leading to the Nemorensis Lacus, so dear to the Pcets, whose aspect, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, has tempted the brush of so many artists and the surroundings of which are so rich in the remains of Ancient Rome? Not only the sun oundings; for the very waters of the lake and the basin in which it lies have held Caligula's galleys these many centuries, and guarded them jealously from the gaze of the curious and the quest of archeologists right to these latter days. But their secret has now been violated. Premier Mussolini, anxious that this inestimable evidence of the skill of the Romans in ship-building should be made available to students and to the world at large, has caused the lake to be partially drained by means of powerful electric aspirating pumps, and one of these galleys has been actually salved from the water and brought to dry land.
