Th io*: e xtensive a r; ligements
made in the Sistine chap
el, hov.-eyer. The walls of this chap
el are covered with the world fa
mous frescoes of Michael Angelo,
and othur masters of the Renais
sance. Here th# daily canvas of
votes will be taken. In this chapel
the u«vv Pope will b* notified of his
electicn and receive tlip first ador
ation of the cardinals, \Wio elected
him. Four ballots will be cast dally
until a pope i« elected.
Above the altar In the Sistino
chapel is a tapestry representing tlve
decent of the Holy Spirit, and al>o
u magnificent baldachin® of velvet.
The front of the altar is draped in
red, embroidered in gold, and on the
highest steps of the altar, where,
during each scruntiny of votes, six
candles will burn, is t'je temporary
papal throne, it is there that the
new Pontiff will receive the first
adoration of the cardinals. Along
the walls of the chapel are ranged
the teats of tlio cardinals in the
order of their grade. Attached to
each chair is a back from which
arises a small baldachine or canopy
of velvet. When a new P®pe is
finally elected all these canopies
ilrfta* I. !t,„ flnn. <>.«»
hangs over the «hatr of the cardi
nal who has been chosen as the new
head of the church. At the foot of
the st;irs leading te the altar
stands the table at which the votes
will bo examined. At one side is
the fireplace or stove In which the
ballots are burned aftor being mix
ed with damp straw. It is by
watching the chimney of the Sjstine
chapel thjat the people ot Rom© be
lieve #iey are able to tell when
each ballot is taken by the smoke
which arrises. The votes of the
electiug ballot are not mixed with
straw and by the clear wisp of
smoke the people watching below
know that they have a new Pope.
At the entrance to tho chapel is
placed the cabinet in which repose
the white vestments in which the
new Pope must be clothed the mo
ment he is elected. In order to
meet the physical dimensions of
whatever cardinal may be elected
it is usually customary to keep in
the cabinet vestments of three dif
ferent sizes.
All of these preparations were
made during the nine days of the
funeral ceremonies of Pope Pius X.
When the cardinals and their suites
enter the conclave after the oath
Is taken, pledges of secrecy aT9
taken from the servants, priests
and all others whose presence is
I necessary. The signal is then giv
en for the walling up of the con
