THE FATAL BUCKET.

In 1905, some soldiers of Modcna ran a
way with bucket from public we'll be-
longing to the state of Bologna This buck
ct might he worth a shilling, bur it produced
quarrel which was worked up into long
md bloody war. Henry, king of Sardinia,
son of the Emperor Henry the Second, as
sisted the Modencse to keep possession ofthe
bucket, and lie was made prisoner in one OF
the battles. His father, the emperor, offered
a chain of gold that would encirclc Bologna,
which is seven miles iii compass, for his son S
ransom, but in vain After % years OF i'm
prsonment, his father being dead, he p!ncd
away and died. This fatal bucket is stiis
exhibited in the tower Of the Cathedral OF
Modena, incloscd in an iron cage. The offer
of the gold chain seems a prodigious bribc,
but there are many artists in London whc
could make Il very few ounces ofgold answer
the purpose ; as single grain can be ham
mcrcd until it is the thirty -thousandth part
of line i'll thickness, and will cover htt'
| square inches, and each square inch may b,
/ divided into two hundred strips, reaching
! more than one eighth part Of a mile. Tht
