America will have strong candidate in
Cardinal Gibbona He is only 5S, and in
every sense at the prime of life. Now that
England has lost Cardinal Manning and
Italy Simeoni, it would not be surprising to
hear more of Americas claims to recogni-
tion.
In Europe 1t Is seraphin Vanutelli who
is most spoken of as the coming Pope, and
it is perhaps significant that he it is who
succeeds Cardinal Simeoni as Prefect Cen

of the death of Pope Leo at any moment, so
precarious has his condition been for a long

ADog Rescues q Chicken.


Mrs Frances Strupe, of Kellogg, W. Va,
tells of singular catch made by dog, not
greyhound, but one of remarkable ability
for 1eaping, and formed somewha. after the
mould of that feet-footed dog. The dog
had peculiar propensity for running after
and barking at all birds that flew overhead.
One day hawk swooped down and bore
off fowl; but the load was heavy one, and
in getting to the woods he had to pass over
ascending ground. The dog seeing the
thief, started in full pursuit, and, making
one leap, brought the marauder to the
ground and tore him to pieces. The chicken

The Duke Initiating the Dodo.

The admirer of hereditary lawgivers and
aristocratic institutions will be alarmed to
note the shrinkage in the supply OF English
dukes. During the year 1891 three of Eng
lands wealthiest and most influential dukes
died, and although even peers cannot take
their titles with them to the next world, it
looks very much as if they might just as
well have done so. The Duke Of Cleveland

WHERE PLATINUM COMES PRoN.

1900 Carloads OF Dirt

1900 Carloads OF Dirt.
Very nearly all of the worlds supply Of
platinum comes from the mines at Nisjne-
Tagilsk, on the eastern frontier of Russia
in Europe where it is found in the gravels
which have been washed down during CEN
turies past from the Ural Mountains 1t
is procured by scooping out holes in the
ground to the depth of about Is feet where
'pay dirt" is struck, and then burrowing
rat fashion in all directions.
Twenty-nine hundred cartloads of earth
must be washed to yield Is pounds of
metallic treasure. In summer the gravel is
stacked up in great heaps, and in winter,
when mining cannot be carried on, the stuff
is washed out in primitive mills, women
doing most of the work. To find nugget
of any size is very rare occurrence, the
biggest on record being about the size OF
a tumbler. 1t is now on exhibition at the
Dresden Museum.
