Audacious and repe3ted thefts Of pro-

library have been detected In the fol-
lowing manner: Quite recently per-

some exquieite miniatures which he
said were copies Of those in certain
works n the vatican library. Il hap
pened that the professor had examined
the originals in their places in the vat
lean library. and was at once convinced
ehat'ths originals, and not copies, were
before him. He It once informed Mgr.
Caffni, the vatican librarian, who verb
ned the fact that many precious minia-
tures were missing from ancient books
and parchments.
The police were communicated with,
and after some research two persons
have been arrested who, II not the
thieves, were undoubtedly in league
with them. One II person who called
himself Prof. Sardi, Of Palermo, but Is
identified a. Giovanni Rapisardi, Of BIZ
ancavilla, in the province Of 'Paterno.
The other il IN antiquary namcd Ta-

Among the stolen articles were forty
one miniatures from parchment vol
ume Of the year lfOo, entitled
"LOmeliA di Frate Giacomo." Seven
teen miniatures were also taken from
another parchment, entitled II Trionfi
di Petrarca." OF the former thirty-nine
have been recovered. All the sales
were made - 1ofcignelh A beautiful
portrait Of Donna Laura, cut from the
Petrarca m1nuscffpt, was sold at Flor
cnce.
From another source it Il learned
that these thefts were known 1t the
vatican to have been going on for some
time, bat that silence had bean kept
from disinclination to appeal to the
Italian police authorities.

Emersons law Of compensation works
IN every department. Of human lite.
Every evil has its compromising good,
tho snge of Concord maintained, and
for syerv good thiAR eompensating
prlce must b paid Ii labor q suffer
ing. Just now, says the Northwest
Magazine, the wheat farmers Of the
northwest aro discouraged ct the long
continuance Of low prices Tor their
grain and tho discouraging outlook
ahead. Yet from this period Of low
prices there win undoubtedly come In
time mach benefit to the community at
large and to the farmera themselves In
the diversifying Of agricultural prod
ucts. The whole country west Of the
Allegheniea was settled originally ON
the basis Of wheat farming . the chief.
and almost only money-producing In
dustry. Beginning with the Genesee
valley In western New York, the
wheat growers pushed westward into
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Tho tide Of settlement which later
turned northward into Wisconsin and
crossed the Mississippi into lows and
Missouri gave all its energies at frst
to the production Of wheat. Still
later Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and
the Dakotas were occupied by the
wheat farmers, and they made their
way across the plains and around by
the ISthmus Of Panama to the valleys
Of California, Oregon and Washington.
But as the wheat ficlds advanced west
ward the older wheat regions constant
" reduced their acreage Of this grain
and their farmers turned to other crops.
In later years southern Wisconsin and
southern. Minnesota and Ill Iowa,
where formerly wheat was the great
staple crop, have gone into daiying
and stock raising with very satisfActory
results in the increase OF population
and wealth and In the elevation of the
condition Of the tillers Of the soil. The
same change will come shout in north
ern Minnesota, in the two Dalotas, IN
Manitobs and in the valleys Of Oregon
and Warrington. Less wheat viii be
raised and the soil will yield much
greater money return per acre when
more labor il applied to It and products
are more diversified. We do not mean to
say that wheat growing Il to b sham
doned- II has not been given up IN
Ohio, or In Pennsylvania, or IN New
York, but it win become only ono farm
industry among many. After tho
change has come about our vast prairie

There have been placed on exhibition
in the Babylonian room Of the British
museum some very fine specimens Of
Babylonian bronze castings, says the
London Graphic. These interesting
specimens Of the early metal work come
from = place known to the ancicnts ~
6ir-pur-ra, or Lagash, the modern
name of which h Tell-lo. . large mound
or site in southern Chaldea. One of
the bronzes shows the king of
Babylonia, who appears clean-shaven,
in the drese Of the high priest. The
garment reaches down to the feet, and
is crossed over the left shoulder, leav-
ing the right arm, which l. ruised,
bare. The statuette Is full length
one, standing on its own double plinth,
and IL some twelve inches high. This
bronze comes from Abu Habbab, and
dates about B. c. $500. A second
statuette represents . king in the at
titude Of alteration or contemplation,
having his hands raised and clasped to-
Rether in . similar manner "a the god
Nebo is represented. The king wears
= long, flowing beard, but no costume
can be traced. This figure IL not full
length, being cut of shout the calves,
and represents probably the Chaldean
king, Gudea, B. c. $500. The third
figure, which stands seven inches high,
represents Camil-Sin, king Of Baby
lonia, In the character of . basket
bearer, both arms being uplifted and
supporting . basket borne on the head.
The tlate of the figure Is about b. C.
$3.50. It Is supposed that these
statuettes may have been d6dicati6ns to
Ningirsu, the fire god, whose woeship
was particular cult 1t Tell-lo.
The art Of making bronze casts was

NOW A STRANGE STEAMER
Captain Clarke Saw One While Cross
ing Maui Channel.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock Is Investi-
gatinG-Some Excitement Caused
by the News.

Instead OF small schooners tc
chase in quest OF opium smugglers
the tug Eleu will probably have tC
test her speed with steam vessel.
Captain Clarke OF the steamer XII
nau has given the authorities in
formation that has caused a great
deal OF excitement.
The captain reports having seen
a strange steamer to the windward
as he was coming through the Maui
channel Tuesday. The light APP
peared between Miller's Hill and
Kinau light, and the captain at
first thought it was the Iwalani or
some other island steamer. On his
return to port, however, he found
that no vessel from here could have
possibly been in that vicinity.
II was about 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning when the strange vessel
was seen, and both Captain Clarke
and Purser Beckley are positive
that it was a steamer. The vessel
was steaming to windward, and
owing to the dim light they were
unable to make out her size or
appearance. The matter was re-
ported to Marshal Brown and Dep
uty Marshal Hitchcock was de-
tailed to make an Investigation.
