THE POPES LENTEN SCHEME

| will allow others to go and fish In his
waters, and. as a large supply of fish
will still remain, these will be sold and
the proceeds turned over to the Pope for
, use among his poor.
There are many interesting stories
current this season of the manner in
which the Pope conducts his lagoons,
or fish farms. The method is something
like this: Each lagoon is divided into
sections by the islands that dot these
lovely stretches of water, and each Sec
ton has its laborers. The workmen or
farmhands are placed upon these
islands to live and do their work. They
fish in their own portions of the water
and ship their fish to certain depots,
where the fish are sent to their further
destination.
1t is said that the cells from these la
goons are specially valuable, as they are
brought in from the Adriatic in large
numbers and fattened. In Commachio
there is an enormous kitchen belonging
to the Pope. Here the fish are cooked by
the ton and distributed to the poor, or
sold to those who can buy them. The
best OF chefs handle the finny produce.
ana though it is considered charity to
puy the fish at Commachio, the purchas-
ers thereof are in no way cheated. They
get their full moneys worth. This is
only one of the many practical ways in
"hich Pope Leo benefits his people. 1t

that cars are about to collide. A pat

1t is an undoubted fact, says an emf
nent fire insurance authority, that the
electric current, when properly installed,
affords the safest means known at pres
ent for illumination.
Sixty years ago the first electric car
was run, but the first commercial line
was not built until 1881, when line near
Berlin was opened.
1t has recently been claimed that iron
ships fitted with electric plants suffer
rapid deterioration of their pipes hav-
az direct connection with the sea, due
to electrolytic action.
The corrosive power of pure water on
new or unscaled boilers was well illus
trated in the City of Glasgow, when
new water supply was introduced from
Loeb Katrine, one of the prest waters
in the world which are available for city
consumption. The former supply had
been poor and calcareous, and old boil
ers were much coated with lime scale.
To the dismay of the users, those who
put in new boilers or tubes found them
rapidly corroding, while the old scaled
and coated boilers remained as before;
those, too, who had removed every pos
sible trace of old ncrustation from their
old boilers by mechanical or chemical
means, intending thus to get the full
benefit of pure water, We're also badly
troubled by corfosion, and even the old
boilers, as the scale was gradually re-
moved by the unvaryingly soft and pure
water from the lake, We're more or less
corroded when no means were taken to
prevent it.

AT 1885 a. m. three fine trees were
standing in an Australian forest. In
less than two hours a distinguished as
semblage was reading the columns of
a newspaper printed on paper made
from the pulp of those identical trees.
The experiment was made to show the
perfection the process of paper making
had attained. At 1885 the trees fell to
the ground. The timbers were at once
stripped of their bark, cut into small
pieces and converted into mechanical
pulp This was placed in a vat and
mixed with the chemicals necessary to
form paper, and the first leaf came out
at 9:34 a. m, in one minute less than
two hours. Some of the sheets were
then taken three miles, and the first of
the papers was issued at 10 o'clock. two
hours and thirty-five minutes from the
tree.

Wiedemann and Schmidt attributed it

in preparing similarly colored sub

chemical hypothesis is now invalidated
by the painstaking researches of r.
