and easily eats its way not merely
through the closed leaves of a book, but
through the cover, be it paper cloth or
leather. It is a curious fact that while
bookworms abound in certain localities,
yet the discovery of any in book IS
matter of great rarity.
Mr.. Arnold says that while there is no
specific insect known as the bookworm,"
yet some of the many species of insects
which sporadically feed on books may
properly be termed "bookWorms' One
species of moth-possibly more rhan one
and several species of tiny beetles in the
larval stage of their existence, bore their
way into books leaving smooth-cut, round
holes which, externally, look like shot
holes
Usually the holes penetrate only part
way into a volume" he says, "but some
times they extend quite through from
cover 10 cover 1t should be particularly
noted that only larvae, and never images,
bore round holes into books, and, more
over that the possession of this boring
power and the exercise of it in books class
certain species of insects as bookworms
and distinguish them as such from various
other insect species that infest books. AS
bookworm larvae are not capable of quick
progression they must begin life near the
food that is to sustain them. In fact, ow-
ing to the rotundity of their bodies and the
weakness of their legs, they can scarcely
walk on a smooth fiat surface. Il is most
probable, therefore, thai the larva which
bores its way into book has emerged
from an egg deposited by the mother on
or near the book"
A brown grub was lately found alive in
a book taken from the Flushing q. -
public library The leaves of the volume
looked as if they had been nibbled end the
finder gave the grub to r. ID. North. well
known bookman. who kept it in box on
his desk to show to persons interested
Some time afterward he gave 1t to Francls
Wilson, book collector and actor, who went
from Mr. North to the De Winnie Press, in
Lafayette place. where he saw Mr.. Hop
klns. who happened to remark that he
wished he could get a -boOkworm for his
friend MIR. Arnold.
We'll" said Wilson, II sometimes have
a worm myself" and pulled from his
pocket the Flushing grub. The insect
was sent to Mr.. Arnold, who to satisfy
lingering doubt, submitted il to Prof. VIII
liam Bentenmuller of the New York
Museum of Natural History. The pro-
fessor looked at it through a magnifying
glass and pronounced ii to be not book
worm at all, but the larva of species of
dermestd beetles.

Gotti that The pope turned. Padre Gotu
was taken from his cell and sent to Rio
Janeiro as internuncio. Here his action was
not limited TO diplomatic concerns. He went
about among the people, performing HUI
name and philanthropic works of every
kind, and, il was owing to his eXertions
that many an incipent sedition was quell-
ed. His return 10 Italy was almost a
triumph, the government no less than the
ecclesiastical authorities desiring to re-
compense him for the great services he
had rendered his country abroad.
Cardinal Gotu himself VIII not speak of
his position relatively to the papal throne.

Gibbons Seeks TO Attend COncIaVe.
1t is a rule that the election of the new
pontih shall not take place until the cardi-
mails throughout the world shah have time
10 repair to Rome. This was not observed
at the last election, owing to the preca-
rious condition in which the papacy then
found itself in presence of the Italian gov
eminent. The election of the successor Of
Plus TX was hurried through before most
of the European cardinals had time even
10 set out.
But Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Bal
timore, has interposed a formal objection
TO the hurried gathering of the coming con-
clave If alive he desires TO have an oppor-
tunlty of being present. This, too, is the
formal desire of Cardinal Moran, archbish-
op of Sydney, although in his case it is
probable that the request viii not be grant

Conclaves previous TO the death of Plus
TX. were always held in the Quirinal. but

Cardinals Are walled in.
When the day of opening the conclave
arrives, the cardinals, with a secretary and
a body servant for each, and with two
doctors and four cooks proceed TO a Sc

are walled up by masons, all communica'

A Struggle Involving All Europe.
All of Europe as well as America wall
be drawn into the coming papal contest
The Powers are already arraying them
selves and preparing to use to the utmost
all the wilcs Of the marvelously hne-pOnt-
ed diplomacy which is observed among
the cardinals. Unquestionably Cardinal
Gibbons will be a candidate. although il
Is thought that he has no chance of cleo
ton. OF the other men who are promi-
nently named-oue of whom is almost GER
tain to be Pope-there are Cardinal Pa
rocchi, Cardinal Vannutelli and Cardinal
Gotti, all men of fame and power in the
Church of Rome. And of these three Car
dinal Gotti is now the favored candidate.
Two great factions will develop imme-
diately at the opening of the conclave The
line of division will be formed by the
question of attitude toward the Italian

Two Chief Candidates.
The chief candidate Of the former party
is Cardinal Parocohi. the present vicar
general of Leo XIII. The candidate OF the
other side is Cardinal Nincenzo Vannu-
Ielli. a former nuncio Cardinal Parocchi
has for years past been conspIcuousy
prominent IN papal politics. He Is Sc
years old and a native of Mantua and
was made cardinal by Plus TX. He has
always been a marked friend of France
and an enemy of the Italian government.
Accordingly. he has with him the support
Of the governments of France, Russia,
Spain and Belgium.
Cardinal Serafno Nannutelh, whose
brother, Vlncenzo is likewise a member
Of the sacred college. was born at Gem
zano, near Rome, in 1888. He is a man of
high personal character ana courtly bear
ing and he has fulfilled diplomatic mis-
sions in various lands. As it Is known
that he advocates reconciliation between
vatican and quirinal the party which is
putting him forward as candidate has al
ready been assured of the favor of the
triple alliance and Of England.

Pope. They maintain that a similar cleo
ton would end the sterile and disastrous
conflict between church and state in Italy,
and would further be the means Of infus-
ms The needed sap of more modern and lib
eral-minded ideas into the government of
the Catholic universe. Singuarly enough,
of the foreign cardinals, il is Cardinal
Gibbons alone who is regarded as a posi-
bic candidate. He speaks French and
Italian, was educated IN Rome, is thor
oughly acquainted with the workings of
the sacred Roman congrega tions, and has
given proof of large administrative ability.
Cardinal Serafino Naunuteli himself
makes no secret Of his intention Of record
ing his vote for Cardinal Gibbons.
However. in reality there is but small
prospect of foreign Pope being elected.
At present twenty-eight out of the entire
ifty-eight cardinals are non-Italian, but it
happens that The person elected Pope must
have at least a two-thirds majority of the
voters, and as over twenty of the present
Italian cardinals viii set their heads
against the foreigner, all further discus
sion Of the matter is futile.
Owing to the requirement of the two
thirds majority and to the fact that
parties are unusually well-balaneed to be-
is almost necessarily unproductive.

AS matter of fact. there is a profound
conviction in ecclesiastical circles al the
vatican that the cOnclave, or assembly
of cardinals to elect new Pope, is not
now far distant The rapidly waning
health of Leo XIII can allow no disn-
fusion on the subject And, even as on
the approach of political election in the
United States. the minds Of the parties
chiefly interested in Rome are for the mo-
meut turned solely 30 this eventually. And
singularly enough, the name of an Amer
lean cardinal, Gibbons of Baltimore, is
being constantly mentioned as factor
IN the conclave.
Hammer of Death.
When the papal physician announces
that a Pope has died, the doors of the
vatican are closed and entrance or exit
is refused to all persons until the cardi-
nal camerlingo has performed the tradi-
tional ceremony of thrice rapping with a
silver hammer the cold brow of the de-
ceased. and then exclaiming. in Latin:
THE Pope is dead; the chair of Peter
is vacant"
The news is then given to the world, and
cardinals from all regions hasten in the
direction of Rome. To the cardinals be-
long the right of electing the new Pope,
who. however, is himself not necessarily
a cardinal or even an ecclesiastc. Any
Catholic layman may be elected Pope, on

DAM ACROSS IRE MISSISSIPPI.
Great Cheering in the House Over the Teller
 Resolutions

Washington, Jan. 29.-At the opening of the session of the house today a bill to per- init the building of a dam across the Mis- sissippi river at Coon Rapids, at the north ern limits of the city of Minneapolis, was passed.
 Immediately afterward the clerk of the senate appeared and transmitted the Teller resolution, which passed the senate last night The announcement was greeted by a terrific outburst of applause from the democratic side of the house.
 No motion was made at the time and the resolution remained on the table.
 The fertilization appropriation bill was reported, and then on motion of MT. Grout (rep) of Vermont the house went into committee of the whole and resumed con- sideration of the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill.
 The general debate was not confined to the general subjects dealt with by the bill. It covered wide range. The Teller resolution, the Cuban question, Hawaiian annexation, the tariff and other political topics were discussed.
 At the conclusion of the general debate the bill was taken up for amendment un- der the five-minute rule.
 Mir King, (dem.) of Utah, raised laugh by offering an amendment to appropriate s50,OOO for the improvement of the White House, ito make it a suitable abode for Hon. Mark A. Hanna" The amendment was ruled out on point of order.
 Mr. Simpson, (pop) of Kansas, com mented upon President McKinley's dec laration at the manufacturers dinner in New York, declaring that the attempt to make all the obligations of the United States payable in the dearest money in. the world was "dress coat anarchy" He said it was now the fashion for republicans to sheer at backwoods statesmen, and he re- minded the majority that all the repub- lican heroes of the past had come from the rural districts. The republican party, he declared, had at last become the open defender of plutocracy.
 Mr. Tongue, (rep.) of Oregon, in spir- ited reply, denounced tine populists and the democrats for being responsible, through the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, for the depression and poverty of the farming classes
 After some further debate, at p. m., after completing seventeen pages of the bill, the house adjourned.
