The QUIRISAL UNDER INTERD1cT.-It is
not generally known that the Palace of the
Quirual in Rome lies under an interdict-
that historic prohibition of religious commu-
nication which shadowcl England in the
reign of John. But Leo Mi does not allow
it TO prevent the priests access to deathbcd.
and twice in the twenty-three years of United
Italys existence has the interdict been lifted
The first time was when the first King of
Italy drew near his end, and the other day
an old servant of the Queens household, by
dying in her attic, caused the excommunica-
ton TO be removed from kings palace.
Thus moder popes, if they use at all the ana
thema quoted by Sternc, are not willing to
enforce it TO cxtremitieS, but are moved to
pity alike for monarch and maid. The pom
tiff S attitude, in effect. is not far different
from that of the lighted Italian, who
simply ignores altogether what the Pope on
occasion recinds. l remember that at the
time when Victor Emmanuel for spoiliation
of the States of the church was first ex-com-
municated the fashionable overcoat that win
ter was Immediately called ia scomunita, y
and little else was heard of the matter.-PdU-

The Tower of Silence.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider a dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves to defile any of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession (white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier to the Tower of Silence. At the
entrance they look their last on the dead
and the corpse bearers-a caste of such
carry it within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower
Meanwhile, and for three days after,
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not to
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums of
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is a series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.
Of superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to the
efficacy of a dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and to
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom
airy to lead dog into the chamber of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the tower.-Nine-
tenth Century.

Eccentricities Palaces.

The King of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and SO live under water whenever
he chooses. is not the only monarch who
has INDUCED in eccentricities of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built By
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to DEATH

Emperor of Russia, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full

man in Russia.

cooled his palace by making stream
fall in cascade over the gateway, and

side his dinner table life size figure of

ABILENE, Kan, Nov. 13.-Kansas has
found way to utilize another of its riches
The great fields of sunfowers that through
the summer are seas of gold, and give the
commonwealth its familiar title, 1.-The Sun
flower State" are to be put to q practical
rather than an aesthetic use. The gigantic
weeds are the bane of the farmer, as they
take possession of every uncultivated nook,
and wave their yellow medallions from the
tops of and 10 foot stalks for six months
OF the year. Sometimes the chief expense
in preparing the fields for spring grain is
to rid them of the old sunflower stalks. It
has often been said that If the weed could
be used for any purpose whatever Kansas
would be wealthy.
The prediction seems about to come true.
The president of a paper mill at Salina had
oifnculty in getting straw with which to
make paper. He looked upon the acres of
sunfiowers that grade the bottom lands OF
the Smoky Hill river and went TO expert
menting, With f1atiron and hammer he
pounded up the stalks and decided that the
pulp would do He arranged for a trial of
the weeds In lieu of strawsat his mill, and
the result surprised not only the spectators
gathered at the trial, but himself as well.
The fiber was better than that Of straw DE-
per. The toughness enables 8 larger
amount Of paper to Of produced from q
given amount Of pulp The gummy sub
stance that destroys SO much straw paper
at the press rolls is absent, and the sheets
run through the driers and finishing cal
enders without sticking or tearing The
entire stock OF the sunflower ia used. and
the small cost of the raw material, being
merely that OF gathering, promises to mako
the new manufacture profitable. The mill
is turning out the unique product steadily,
and others will soon take it up.
Thus far only express and hardware pa-
pers are being manufactured regularly
though sufficient paper of better quality
was made to print The Daily Republican of
Salina on the day of the trial, Oct. 81.
Kansas seems to be only just learning the
extent of its resources. 1t has corner on

ORANGE, N. j., Nov IA most slightly
spot is Eagle rock. which rears its stony
front on the eastern edge Of the Orange
mountain just west of this city. 1t cannot
be said of the view from its summit that it
10 possessed of features of rugged natural
grandeur, but the expanse of land and
water Is very wide, and more beautiful
panorama has rarely been unrolled by
Dame Nature for the inspection of mortals
In. human interest it is doubtful IL this
view Is equaled the world over. From
Eagle rock one may overlook the homes
and places of business of "a larger number of
his fellow men than from any other natural
point Of observation.
AT the mountains foot and climbing up
its sides are the city of Orange, with pop
ulation of 10000; the towns of Montclair,
with 5, 600; South Orange, with 8, 900: Bloom
field, with 5000. The city of Newark, pop
ulation 200. 900, lies to the east of these, and
farther to the south Elizabeth, with 40, 600
Bayonne, with 20, 900, is found east of Eliza
beth, and part OF Jersey City, population
10000, is also visible. Just east of Newark
are Harrison, population 10000, and Kear-
ney, 1000. Hoboken, where dwell $4,000, is
Shut out from sight by the palisades, but
may r,be included because the eysreaches
: beyond, and a dozen smaller New Jersey
places, aggregating 5000, are also in full
View.
Beyond the Hudson lies the city of New
York; with her 1.so0O00 to 1900, 900 inhab-
ttants, plainly visible on clear day, and
still beyond New York tho heights of
Brooklyn. the City of Churches, where
live COG, 600 more. are to be seen. The total
30 far is large enough, but this is not all,
for on some Of these fine autumn days the
tall tower at Coney Island comes into view,
30 that it Is only fair TO include the $4,000
or more who live between Brooklyn and
the island and 5000 who dwell permanent
~ on that bank of sand. The northern por-
ton of Staten Island, bearing population
OF at least 25, 900, may also be seen when the
haze is entirely cleared away, and this
brings the grand total UP to 1895, 900.
To add to the interest Of the scene white
sails and the smoky trails OF steam craft
are visible on the bays Of Newark and New
York, and the hurrying trains Of a net
work of railroads that intersect the land
scape like the threads Of q design Of a car
pet pass constantly across the field. Where
else have nature and humanity combined
to make picture of such varied life and

Triple Pillar Saw Frame.

Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is a triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
q space not much wider than an ordina-
ry vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, Is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means Of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much az
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that lis farthest from
the crank shaft. There is a bell crank
and fywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration. York Sun.
