wore on, the noises increased In intensity
and frequency. The explosions succeeded
each other so rapidly that continuous
roar seemed to issue from the island. The
critical moment was now approaching and
the people OF Batavia did not sleep that
night. Their windows ouivered with the
thunders from Krakatoa, which resounded
like thu discharge Of artillery in their
streets.

drawn tightly over these ribs is a piece Of
thick silk. When the wheel Is turned the

very good imitation OF the soughing or the

a number OF cannon-bals held in trough

Rampolla, Leo's Probable Successor

In spite of the present good health OF
Leo Kill, speculation Is rife as to who
win be chosen to succeed the present pope.
As the Post has already intimated, Mon
seigneur Satolli. papal ALLOCATE to America,
stands an excellent chance: but it is be-
lieved that Leo himself will recommend
Cardinal Rampolla, his secretary OF state,
as his successor
Cardinal Mariana Rampolla Is remark
able for his lack Of strong personality. AS
secretary Of state to the pope he has had
little opportunity TO exercise his individ-
ualty. and he has devoted himself entire
ly to affectionate submission to the pope.
Although he understands thoroughly the
duties and responsibilities which devolve
upon the head OF the Catholic church, II
Is doubtful II he would All the pontifical
chair as ably as the present pope.
He is thoroughly conversant with mat
tiers OF current interest, and is fully aware
OF the trend Of public sentiment regarding
the Vatican rule. But all speculation as
to the next pope must be matter Of mere
conjecture. 1t can never be foretold IA to
what choice the college of cardinals will
reach. 1t Is not always the most popular
or most promising candidate who is chosen
as some one has said, who enters the
college pope comes out a cardinal"

Many people all over the country have
been disappointed recently by the receipt
OF note from the presidents secretary
saying that 1t was impossible for the
president TO comply with requests for auto
graphs. Hitherto the answer sent to such
requests was that the president would
comply later, but since the war closed the
letters asking for autographs have been
coming into the White House at such a
rate as 10 almost swamp the clerical force,
and make ii physical impossibility for
the president 10 grant them. This increa Sc
is due to the fact that many people are
getting up war scrapbooks, and, of course,
want the presidents autograph for the
front page. Since the president has start
ed writing his message he has not written
an autograph. and II is doubtful whether
ne viii be able to do so again until after
congress adtourns. The president d!snkes
10 deny so innocent request as one for
an autograph, but It is a matter OF neces-
sity.
