The Sanctfty Of the Tomb.

Greek and Roman alike paid the
greatest respect to the remains of the
departed, and We're very anxious that
nothing should disturb the ashes or the
bones of the dead or violate the sanctl-
ty of the sepulchre. Everybody will
recall the lines or Shakespeare tomb
at Stratfcrd- on Avon, but for downright
intensity of anathema the following
would be hard to match IN modern
times:
| give to the gods below this tomb to
keep. to Pluto ana TO Dcmeter and PerSe-
phone and the Erinnyes and all the gods
below. If any shall diSfgure this Sepu3-
chre or shall open II, to him let there be no
earth TO walk, no sea To sail, but may he
be rooted out with ali ais race. May he
feel all diseases shuddersng and fever, and
madness. and whatever ills exist for beasts
or men. may these light on him who dareS
move aught from this tomb.
This is from tomb at Athens erected
by sorrowing wife TO her husband,
"most sweet" but similar expressions
are very common. Sometimes in addi-
ton blessings are invoked on the man
Eho leaves the tomb undisturbed, or
who Will make libations 10 the dead.
Sometimes we meet the request that
flowers may be thrown upon this tomb.
In some cases the sanctity of the
tomb is defended, not by supernatural
terrors, but by the prosaic statement of
the fine to which the offending person
made himself liable. Sometimes the
particular form of declaration which
was most to be feared was mentioned
with the simple directness which one
may admire but dare not initiate Corn

THE STATUE OF POPE LEO.

in the United States. it was the nm
yelling of the magnificent marble statue
Of the supreme pontif, Leo MIL. AMI
ii is the gift TO the University Of Count
Joseph de Ioubat, the wealthy NeNYork
society and club man. The exercises at
tending the unwilling of the statue were
simple, but were participated in by
Cardinal Gibbons and a large number
OF prominent members of the priest
hood, as we'll as OF the laity. Bishop
Keane delivered the principal address.
Amongst those present were Archbishop
CorriEan, Mgr. Preston, of New York,
Archbishop Williams, of Boston to-
gether with white-vestured bOminicans,
black-cassocked ,Iesuits, SuIpicians,
Franciscans and Christian Brothers.
Tho statue is the work Of Giuseppe
Luchetti, one of the best known OF the
modern Italian school. Ii occupied
him for over a wear. and It's total cost
has been over $20,000. The model OF
the statue was Submitted TO the Pope
for his approval, and in return for the
gift, the Papacy conferred the title of
count upon Mr.. de Loubat. Tire statue
IS of the size known to sculptors as
semi-colossal, and represents the Pope
seated on the pontitical throne, vested
in cassock, alb, stole and cape. On his
head is the tiara, or triple crown.
The right hand is raised IN the act of
giving the blessing, while the left
hand rests easily on the arm of the
throne. The face is benign. and the
whole figure and attitude majestic. The
statue, Which cost $1,000, is thirteen
feet high, and, except the pedestal and
the back of the throne, is carved from a
single block of white Carrara marble,
weighing IN It's present shape more than
five tons. SO large q block Of marble
without flaws can seldom be found. A
duplicate of this statue is to
be presented to Count Loubat
TO the town of Carpineto, the
Pore's birthplace. Three sides of the
pedestal bear inscriptions. On one are
the papal arms, which are the armorial
bearings of the Pecel family, of which
the Pope is Il member. On the oppo-
site side are the arms of Mr.. Loubat as
Roman count, which dignity was con
'c~red on him several years ago by the
pe. On the front panel Of the pedes-
ii n letters picked out with gilt is this
inscription, which the Pope himself com
posed:

Mode of Informing Farmers Concerning

Before long it is expected to have the

given by locomotive whistles. but for the
present they viii be sounded only by the
whistles OF mills and factories located in
villages and rural districts.
The signal blasts will be of two sorts.
Those referring to temperature will be
short. and those indicating rain. snow or
fair weather will be long. The warning
signal. to attract attention, will be a blast
of from - TO 20 seconds duration. Fol-
lowing is the code:

one S!oi t........-...--. Lower temperature.
Two short ............. Higher temperature

To give more accurate information,
these signals Will be combined. according
to the following arrangement:

Having arrived at this conclusion, the
