A SALONIKA CHURCH.

[To ran EDITOR or THE SPECTATOR.")

Sm,—The most interesting church in Salonika was that of St. Demetrius, which, unfortunately, suffered considerably from the recent fire. The scorching heat also destroyed the surface of the west wall, and exposed a painted representation of the figure of St. Demetrius preventing the ravages of a fire in Salonika. The representation is apparently of the seventh century. As a phenomenon of archaeological interest this is surely unique.—I
