Rohault de Fleury calculates that the
total volume of the wood of the Cross
was somewhere about 17s. 600, 600 cubic
millimeters. He has made a careful
list of all the. relics of the true Cross
known to exist in Christendom at the
present day, with their measurements.
and finds the volume to be about 3,942,
900 cubic millimetcrs, SO that, as might
have been expected, the greater part Of
the Holy 2tod: has disappeared. He also
nad the opportunity of making q micro
scopic examination of different relics.
and comes to the conclusion that the
wood was either pine or something
closely allied to it. as5

THE SPECULATORS HOWL.
RAISING The VALUATION or CHICAGO
UNIMPRoVED LAND.

Some of the Towns Recently Taken Into
the City Find They Have TO Pay Dearly
Tor Their Glory-OId Taxpayers Pleased.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
CHICAGO, July 19.-The assessors Of the
West and South towns of Chicago are not
alone in the work of increasing the assess
ments on unimproved property in Chicago
and vicinity, and making it pay taxes at
about the same rate it would pay if built
upon. Assessor A. j. Mayer, of HYDE
Park. big suburban community which
has just been taken into the Chicago city
limits, has just completed his assessment,
and his figures have caused q series of deep
and prolonged howls from numerous
spectators who are holding "acres" there
for rise. A lot which last year was as
sessed at 5000 is this year assessed by Mr..
Mayer $4,000. A 40-acre tract which last
year was assessed at S18, 800 is assessed this
year at S61, 900.
The vacant land lying along the beauti-
full Drexel boulevard, upon which nom-
inal price has been put heretofore, has been
assessed at figures closely approximating
its real value. But there has been
no corresponding increase in the
assessed valuation OF land with houses built
upon it. The result of changes is an in
crease in the total valuation from IS, oil, 100
last year to S13, ,5S7, $50 this year, which
means that the owners of unimproyed land
will have to pay so much greater a proper
tion of the taxes.
The new policy adopted by the three as
SCISSORS is the result in part of numerous
petitions which were presented to them last
year for higher valuation of unimproved
realty. As far as appears, the changes
which they have made have been approved
by public sentiment and by the press.

TONY HART CONFIDENT,
Yet Physicians Say He is Incurable and
Will Never Again Appear in Public.

VIII never again Appear IN PuDnc.
BOSTON, July 19.-'T called on poor
Tony Hart at the Worcester Insane Asylum
the other day." said Virginia Richmond,
the actress, to-day, "and I was very much
surprised and delighted to find him looking
splendid. He's as fat as butter, his cheeks
are rosy and his eyes are bright. Yet the
physicians declare that he is incurable, and
that he will never again appear in public.
It's very hard to believe it in the face of
Tony's excellent appearance, but 1 suppose
it's true. Several other actresses accom-
panied me. All had known Mr.. Hart in
his palmy days, and they were delighted to
find that he recognized them at once, calling
them all by name. He is one of the best pa
tients, always kind and considerate, fond of
outdoor exercise, and often acts as umpire
at the base ball games played by the in
mates.
''He spoke without reserve of his sur.
roundings, saying he was treated very well,
and seemed particularly pleased because so
many of his old professional friends had
visited him this summer. Mr.. Harrigan
was among the number, he said. There was
only one theme that visibly affected him,
and that was mention of his wife's death.
Occasionally we noticed a difficulty in his
utterance that is one feature of his disease,
and now and then his memory was defective;
but stranger would have called Tony Hart
well man. He is still quite confident of
recovery, and even spoke about going on the
road again in a new play"
