The red hat is peculiar feature of
the wardrobe of a cardinal. 1t is oddly
shaped, the brim being six feet across.
The material is cardinal beaver. 1t
is round, and in striking contrast TO
the immense fat brim is a small, con-
ical-shaped crown, quite too small, ap-
parently, to fit anybody's head; but
that is another queer feature of the red
hat; it is not intended to fit any body's
head. The sole use to which it is put,
other than ymbolizing the distinction
of its recipient at the time it is be-
slowed, is to be hung in the cardinal 8
church after his death.

For years a curious phenomenon has
been noticed on Lake Winneb bago, in
Wisconsin, where, as soon as the ice
forms solidly, an immense crack opens
almost exactly in the center of the
lake, extending lengthwise from one
end of the lake to the other The
crack is now three to six feet wide and
about thirty miles long. 1t is supposed
to be caused by the expansion of the
ice, and the pressure against each
shore being equal, the upheaval and
fssure appear in the middle.
