ton provides for a tax on hay
shipped out Of the nation. The
question submitted by Inspector
Wright arises on account Of the
provision in section 16 Of the
Curtis act granting to individuals
the right to use and receive rent
from such amount of agricultural
or grazing lands as would be his
Just and reasonable share Of the
lands of the nation, and that to
which his wife and minor children
are entitled.
"As the office views the matter,
the revenue laws of the nation re-
lating to the tax on hay do not in
any way interfere with the use by
the citizens of the nation of their
Just and reasonable share Of the
lands as provided in section 16 Of
the act. 1t is an export tax i'm
posed by the nation to meet the
necessities of its government and
seems to the Office to be a valid
tax and would apply to all hay
alike, whether taken from lands
in occupancy of citizens and
claimed as their pro rata share or
otherwise. The tax only applies
to hay shipped out of the nation
and it would seem immaterial
whether such hay was cut from
the public domain or taken from
inclosed tracts claimed by citizens
as their pro rata share.
1.-THE matter is submitted, how
ever, to the department for in
structions as to what reply will be
made Inspector Wright on the
subject"
Another important decision has
been rendered by the department
in connection with the matter Of

A MONUMENT ON THE ALPS.
The Statue OF the Madonna OF the
Snow on the Lofty summit
Of RocciameIone,

On the very top of the %eternally snow
covered Rocciamelone, a peak of the
Alps 11,511 feet above the sea level, has
just been raised the highest monument
in the world, 1t is q colossal statue of
the Virgin-the Madonna Of the Snow,
as ii is ~called-cast in bronze, and
Weighing about 1900 pounds. 1t was
cast in eight pieces, and there being no
road On the mountain, only paths and
gullies formed by running water, the
different parts were carried by 40 AL
pine soldiers and 20 sapeurs, who per-
formed miracles of strength. The
funds for the statue were raised by a
collection among the children of Italy,
the first to sign being those Of the duke
of Genoa, brother of the queen, and the
young Count Salemi, stepbrother of the
much talked of duke of the Abruzzi.
The subscribers amounted to over 1907
600, many Of whom gave only a penny.
Leo XIII. composed the Latin inscrip-
tion, which runs literally as follows:
Spirit Mother of God.
Purer than the snow, Mary,
Turn thy benevolent look on thy Susa,
Protect the Italian frontier,
Celestial Patron!
The Rocciamelone, which is also
called the Sentinel of Italy," stands
above the town of Susa, and from its
summit n enjoys one Of the finest
panoramas in the Alps. One sees below
the valley of the River Dora from the
Monginevra to the hills above Turin,
and on the left the Mont Cents and the
confines Of France. The king and queen
have sent two large medallions with
their heads on them in relief, to orna
ment the pedestal, and intended 10 be
present at the unwilling of the really
beautiful statue, but were prevented.
Any way, we have seen once more the
king of Italy, the "usurper," and the
pope, the ~"deposed," uniting in a com
mon cause.-Rome Cor. Pail Mall Ca
