RELIGIOUS EVENT.

Pope Leo Wants to Commemorate the
Closing Of the Nineteenth Century.
New YORK, Aug, 2,-The Rome cor
respondent of the New York Freed
mems journal has cabled letter writ
ten by Cardinal Jacobini and addressed
to all Catholic bishops throughout the
world, proposing one Of the most wide
spread series of religious events prob
ably ever held. These extraordinary
religious services it is intended shall
commemorate the close of the 18th and
the beginning of the goth century.
The project put forth by Cardinal Jaeo-
bini is the result of the desire to re-
spond to the wish of Pope Leo XII. to
consecrate the transition from one
century to the other by ian extraor-
binary invocation of the divine assist
ance Of Jesus Christ, as a happy presage
Of peace and concord"

Mr.. William II. Dali, of the Smith
sonian institution, says that during the
early days of the whale fishery several
well-attested instances occurred Of
whales struck in one ocean, as the At
Iantic, being afterward killed in the
North Pacific, and vice versa. This
would indicate that some whales are
great travellers, for to get from the
Atlantic to the North Pacific they would
have TO go many thousands Of miles,
passing either around Cape Horn, or
around the northern end of North
America and through Behring strait

RanIa OEIaation Of WOOD.

The fact that wood rapidly oxidizes
at certain high temperatures and be
comes infamed is well attested. The
wood tagging which encireles locOmo-
tive boilers has frequently been found
to have been burnt to coke, and in some
instances has actually taken fire on re-
moving the outer casing. Here the tenn
perature would not be over 800 degrees
Fahrenheit, and though the heat would
not of itself be sufficient to ignite wood,
rapid oxidation at such a temperature
must soon bring about sufficient heat to
cause ignition. The temperature at
which wood takes fire is computed at
800 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The
more oleaginous or resinous matter the
wood contains the greater its suscepti-
bility to inflammation, and this fact is
to be made account of in all caleula-
tions.-Philadelphia Press.
