One of the dailies of the Eternal City

quent occasions for betting than the
fleetness of horses. Nine new cardi-
nails were nominated by the pope, and
last week were invested in the robes of
their office and covered with the broad
brimmed, ugly cardinal hats, and the
Journal in question tells us that in old
days bets were as freely INDUCED in as
to who would be cardinal as they arc
now made in regard to what favorite
horse will win. They even betted on
the election of the pope, and the pom
tifical government in vain tried to put
down this gambling propensity in the
Romans. They might bet on cock
fights, gamble in lotteries, ard fool
ishly spend their money in a thousand
d~emoralizing wagering ways. but it
was a scandal to bet as to who would
wear the triple crown or the ugly red
hat. But when Sixtus v. assembled
the papal throne, he took heroic meas
ures. He was q pope of infinite cum
ming and daring-two things that
rarely go together; for the cunning
man is generally a weak man phys
ically, and hence lying, regeneration,
and secrecy are his weapons. Sixtus
", you will remember, was, when a
boy, a swineherd-though ONE deny
lt-and having risen through his own
ability, by various grades, to the ar
dinalship, he was finally elected pope
on the death of Gregory XIII. C5S5),
because it "a thought by his fellow
cardinals that a man so infirm that he
could not walk without crutches was
already more ethan on his last legs
and would loon have to give way for
another pope. But no sooner was he
elected to the highest office in the
church than he threw away his crutch-
es, sang a tedeum in a loud voice, and
was as apparently renewed in youth as
the poetic inauguration of Goethe
made Faust to be after his first inter
view with the devil. He displayed
great talent for government; he puri-
fled the Roman states of vagabonds
and brigands who swarmcd in them;
he organized the administration, and
fixed the number of cardinals at seven

Expensiya Dresses.

Do you know what actresses own
the most expensive dressesP asks q
writer in The Washington Post. MOP
| will tell you. They are Mrs. Florence,
Nine. Theo, Mile. and Rhea. The lew
dresses worn last week in the s.Mighty
Dollar by Mrs. Florence were mar
vels of taste and beauty, but thew were
no more costly or elaborate than many
others she possesses. Last year she
valued her various dresses at 1920, 900,
and | dare say they were worth it. I
looked up the matter of actresses
apparel once for q New York news
paper. / took copious notes on the
subject, struggled manfully with the
utterly unknown (to meg i%ntricacies
of dressmaking t~echnicalities, and at
last evolved the article. 1t never was
published. l read it to the fashion
editress OF the newspaper, and she,
with whitening scorn, told me that n
man who didn't know the difference
between a corsage anu a corset ought
never to attempt anything above po-
~lice-court reporting. l didn't agree
with her, but | cremated the article,
and have since left dressmaking and
dress-wearing lore to the writer's who
can't write about anything else.
I discover that Mrs. Florence's most
gorgeous dresses were one of mandar.

broidery; another of red brocade dam
asque sat in made in princess"
style (whatever that may beg, with a
design on the front of the skirt of a
vine running from tho top down Gin
strange contradiction to the laws of
nature), composed of different colored
stuff in green, pink, garnet, etc., one
of blue brocade and Magenta satin,
adorned with an artistic arrangement
of palms, bugles and blue amber, and
another of light-blue satin brocade,
with q design in feathers, and embroi-
derry of amber, garnet, and ruby
beads.
Nine. Theo went into raptures in
displaying to me her costumes, and
her two French maids said some very
funny things about me, in blissful ig-
norance that l understood their every
word. Theo declares that there are
many better dress makers IN France
than M. Worth, andher finest suits are
made by Felin and Virnt, of Paris. I
remember that she showed me a pink
lace dress with a pink satin underskirt,
and marveled greatly that | was ig-
norantthat pink lace had never be-
fore been worn. I remember, too,
that I blushed when she showed me q
"a corsage I think it was;at any rate,
it had lace strings at the back-which
she wear in the scene in "La Jolie

The Surplus Mines of Sicily.

In Sicily, at the end of the Middle
Miocene period, the sulphur-bearing
area was raised, and lakes were form.
ed in which occurred the deposition of
sulphur and its accompanying gypsum,
tripoli, and silicious limestone. The
sulphur rock is composed of sulphur
and marty limestone, the sulphur be.
ing sometimes disseminated through
the limestone, and at others forming
thin alternate layers with it. These
notwithstanding seams are often sep
arated by layers of black mari, twenty
inches to Elk feet thick. some seams
attaining a thickness of twentv-eight
feet. The total aggregate thickness
OF the sulphur seams reaches one hun
dred feet in n case, but the average
total is to twelve only All the
seams are decomposed at their out
crop, and show only an accumulation
of whitish friable earth, called briscalc
by the miners. and mainly composed
of gypsum.
Almost all the Sicilian is carried to
the surface on boys backs, consequent
ly it does not pay to work below
about four hundred feet, as it then be-
comes necessary to employ hauling
machinery. Hence the deposits living
below that horizon are hardly touch.
ed, and as many of the beds are near.

yield as they descend, the still un-
touched must be very great.
