POPE AND PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew has been to
see the Pope. The railroad magnate re-
ceived the rare honor OF a private audi
ence. and his account of the meeting
with the Pontifr given to 1.-The World"
Is of much interest.
Naturally Mr. Depew was embarrassed
as to the manner In which he ought to
bear himself when ushered into the
Pope's presence. He made inquiry as
to what would be expected Of him, being
seemingly apprehensive that he would
be required to go through some cere-
mony which would not be agreeable to
him. But he was relieved by the infor-
nation that he could greet His Holiness
In the manner In which he would meet
the President of the United States. So

SUMS RADIATING SURFACE.
It Is Protected from Icy Space by
Gases.

NJ Jansen read a paper at the Paris
meeting OF the five academies concerning
the absence OF oxygen in the solar atmos-
phere. lie considered that this revealed
fresh harmony in the constitution OF the
universe According to the Paris CORE
spondent OF the London Times the fol-
lowing is the most striking passage In NJ.
Janssen's paper:
I'VE already knew the chief feature
of the constitution of the sun and the
admirable conditions realized for insur-
ing both the abundance and the dura-
bility of the radiation dinused by II
over the planets surrounding II. We
also knew that his radiating surface Is
protected from contact with the Icy
celestial space by several gaseous en-
Among these envelopes or stmos-
pheres the uppermost and doubtless
most effective as to protection Is the
so-called corona, which in total eclipses
produces the splendid phenomenon OF the
"glories" and of the crown. This atmos-
phere Is mainly composed OF hydrogen,
the lightest and most transparent OF
'The chief function of radiation. the
very purpose of the central orb, Is thus
insured by this transparent and protect
ing atmosphere, But we now see that
by a not less admirable arrangement
the body which nigh some day teopar-
die this function has been carefully eX-
cluded. Thus science as II advances con-
stantly reveals to us new laws and har-
monies In the constitution OF the uni

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The Health Board has resolved to save
New York from the fate Of Chicago and
Pittsburg. II shall not be smoke
dried, sufrocating, unhealthy, dlrt-spread-
ing city II they can prevent II.
President Wilson says that the use of
bituminous coal In the city has been
steadily increasing since 1873. until now
II has become an unbeatable nuisance.
Ye finds that the companies using the
coal. srch as the Steam Heating Com
Iany. the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad and others, profess
willingness TO abate the nuisance, but
ray: "Show us how to do It, and we
will adopt such measures as you pro-
pose" But President Wilson declares
that those who create the nuisance must
find the means OF correcting 1t them
selves. one thing Is certain. that the
evils resulting from the use OF soft
coal must be stopped, or the Health
Department will proceed against those
who cause the nuisance.
The pubic health Is the first and fore
most consideration, and II Is to be hoped
that the health authorities will adhere
firmly to the position they have taken.

A WELCOME IMPROVEMENT.

The Third Avenue Gable line. as far as
1t is In working order, had formal and
a successful opening yesterday. The run
was made uptown. from the depot at
Sixty-fifth street. to One Hundred and
Twenty street. and downtown as
far as Cooper Union. where the passen-
gers were transferred to the horse cars.
There was some delay and confusion at
the Sixth street switch But that was to
be expected and the running OF the linn
tied number of cars. was. on the whole,
quite successful.
or course the convenience and comfort
OF the cable cars were at once apparent,
and were fully appreciated by the pas
sengers. When the line Is open through
out the entire route, and the horse cars
are dispensed with. the full benefit OF
the change will be felt. But the expert
ment Of running on the Bowery remains
to he tried, although the managers of the
road express confidence In its success.
The cable system has evidently come
to stay. and as the broadway line proves
is destined to be a great relief to crowd
ed thoroughfares as well as n comfort
and convenience to passengers.

A SLAVE OF ROYAL BLOOD.
Death OF a Coiorsd Man Who Might
Have Been q King.

A lneal descendant Of the African
kings died yesterday In this city. 1t
was Alexander Rockwell, a centenarian
who was induced scores of years ago to
come to America and was sold at auction
as slave. says the New Orleans Times
Democrat.
Eighty-five years ago Alexander was
looked upon by many of the African war
riors as their next leader. An English
trading vessel came near the place FOR
the purpose of kidnapping natives. The
white men planted glowing pictures OF
American life to the black visitors. and
gave them trinkets that delighted the
hearts OF the savages
Alexander was not difficult to persuade
and he was taken on the ship with other
natives. His real name no one can tell.
He was physical prize, and the traders
expected a good amount for him. Be
sides he was of royal blood.
The vessel reached America and the
natives were taken to Virginia and dis
posed of at public sale.
When 1t came to be known that Alex
was some lively bidding for him, and
finally he was knocked down to a planter
in Virginia named Beckwell. He was
called Alexander by his master, because
of his looks and. lineage.
lie soon mastered the English language,
and on the death of his master he was
sold to n Georgia planter and later TO
Iouisianian in Rapides. Alexander re-
mained there until the outbreak of the
war, and after the battle din quieted
and all was harmony he came TO New
orleans and has lived here for number
of years,

mud. and when lady comes into the car she has
to wipe their shoes with her dress she passes
to her seat-but the men are 30 absorbed, with
newspaper up to their face, that no attention is
paid to other peoples rights. I must say that
have been guilty OF this bad habit myself but now
I take good care that my boot will never soil n

Etiquette and Bald Heads.

To the Editor:
My object in writing you Is to advocate rad
ical change In modern etiquette ] want to DO
away with the custom OF taking on the hat TO
ladies In Winter. Now Mr.. Editor. believe me
when l say have q profound respect for the
ladies. but nothing can make me believe that
raising my hat to a young lady either natters
the young lady or indicates the esteem or love
bear her The custom Ia what Sydney Smith
would call "a folly sanctioned by antiquity" 1t
becomes most obnoxious in Winter I am getting
bald, and when liz my hat to a young lady on
a cold winters night a chill passes over my
scalp that makes me believe l am somewhere
near the North Pole. I might contract fatal
cold by such an operation, and then could not
take on my hat to any more young ladies. That
would be q bad thing for certain people. dis
cusson as to the propriety OF the aforesaid change
would certainly be productive OF romr interest.

Decorated Trash Baskets.

Trash baskets have developed a deco
rative quality which makes them worthy
of especial note. Two seen this past
week are really striking handsome, and,
as they are capacious as we'll, fill def
mite want. One Is tall and slender, but
still firm upon its base. and Is made en-
tirely of heavy leather. The outside
shows an embossed design that is In the
best of taste and color. For an accom-
paniment to library desk nothing bet
ter could be desired, and the many wom-
en- who shortly will be seeking Christ
mas gifts for their husbands and friends
will do we'll to bear 1t in mind The other
is more delicate. both in color and mate
rial, and is singularly appropriate for a
lady's use. 1t Is made Of fine African
grass and celluloid, and is dainty as can
be. while at the same time It provides
ample space.

that that branch OF the stream be made
navigable. The object is to take the
Kilia arm from the control OF the 'DGCrSs
Commission. 1t Is evident that recent
complaints OF the inefficiency OF the
British Mediterranean fleet have not been
made without a keen appreciation of the

Europe knows that Russia wants the
