[Footnote 87: Several churches in Vienne are used as foundries and
workshops. S. Peter's church was an iron-foundry four or five years ago,
and is in future to be a museum--a considerable improvement upon its
former use. The grand old church of S. John in Dijon has been rescued
from the hands which made it a depot of flour, and is being restored to
its original purposes: but such instances are very rare.]
[Footnote 88: This family took its rise in Dauphine, before the district
had that name: the chief place of the family was the chateau of
Beaumont, near Grenoble.]
[Footnote 89: The final victory was near Aquae Sextiae (Aix).]
[Footnote 90: The cultivation of the silkworm mulberry will probably die
out before very long. The silk crop has lately failed in Dauphine, and a
commission for enquiring into the relative merits of different worms has
determined that the Senegal worm produces 633 millegrammes of silk,
while the worm, fed on the mulberry produces only 290.
