A generation ago schoolboys used to
find in the center of the map of Italy a
section entitled Estates of the Church" J"
Since 1870, when the Italian troops
marched into Rome and took posses
sion of it as the national capital, this
title of the Pope's temporal dominion
has disappeared from the atlas; but
the Pope has not renounced his claim
to be the rightful sovereign of the
medieval states Of the church. When
the Italian Kingdoms and principalities
were united by Cavour's diplomacy,
King Victor EmanuePs campaigns and
Garibaldi's valor, Rome was the only
possible national capital. Cavour de-
creed that there should be a free
church in a free state, and the Italian
Parliament has resolutely refused to
recognize the rights of temporal sover.
eighty once exercised by the Popes.
Rome in the course of thirty years has
doubled its population and become one
Of the great capitals of Europe. The
Vatican has been helpless in this con-
flict with the state. It's Swiss guard
could not offer resistance to the nation
al army, but could only perform police
duty at the Vatican and the Lateran-
where the old-time Papa1 privileges are
preserved by law. The Vatican, how
ever has clung tenaciously to the tradi-
tions of it's ancient rights, and refused
to make any compromise with the
state. Plus TX. and Leo XIII. have
taken the same position on this ques-
tion, and charged the state with usurp-
ing what once belonged to the Latin
Church exclusively. This is a brief
statement of what Is known in Italy
as the conflict between church and
state. 1t is bitter quarrel between the
Vatican and the Quirinal, and there is
no immediate prospect of any settle
ment of the questions at issue. If the
Vatican were willing to be reconciled
with the Quirinal, it's position would be
altered in Europe and it's resources of
power would be greatly diminished. If
peace were made, the Pope would be
regarded at the Austrian, German and
other courts as the chaplain Of the
King Of Italy.

The government of the new. common
wealth of Australia will have features
resembling the governments Of Great
Britain, the United States and Canada,
and some features peculiar to itself.
Like that of the mother country and of
every one Of it's self-governing colonies,
it will be administered by a cabinet
responsible to the popular branch of
the Legislature. For the legislature
Australia borrows the American idea:
a Senate, consisting Of an equal num-
Der of members, six for each state, and
a house of representatives based upon
population. Members of both houses
are to be elected by universal suffrage.
Another American idea is adopted in
a federal supreme court, which will de-
eide all questions between two states
or between the commonwealth and any
state, from which there will be no ap-
peal, even to the privy council of Great
Britain. AS in Canada, the nominal
head of the government the represen-
tative of the sovereign, will be COVER
nor general appointed by the British
ministry and not removable by the
Australian government. The finances
Of the commonwealth, too, will be con
Quoted on the Canadian plan, for after
the General expenses are paid the bal
ance is to be distributed in fixed propor-
ton among the states. The greatest
novelty in the new constitution is the
provision for the event of deadlock"
between the two houses. In that case,
both houses are to be dissolved and
new houses elected; and If the deadlock
Is renewed the question at issue Is to
be decided by majority vote in a Joint
convention. The capital of the new
commonwealth-as in the case of both
Canada and the United States-is to be
removed from the controlling influence
of the great commercial cities. 1t Is to

above the level of the river. sufficiently
high to allow Of the passage Of th
highest-masted vessels. This platform
serves simply to carry four courses :.
rails, upon which run sixty smah
wheels in pairs. From these depend
thirty steel cables Of great strength,
upon which is hung large car-in
reality, the actual ferry-,at an exact
level with the quays on each side Of the
river and, of course, some distance
above the water.
Upon this vehicles of all kinds-even
trans and omnibuses, and, of course,
people and merchandise-are embarked
and, by means of electric power, gently
foated over the river to the opposite
quay. The movements of the ferry are
controlled from a small tower at the
top of the car.
The ferry and rolling apparatus
weigh altogether nearly fifty tons, and
to this was added, when the concluding
experiments were carried out a few
days ago, load of over fifty tons
which was safely transported. The
width Of the river at this point is about
$50 yards. The work is triumph OF
engineering skill, and is, besides, mos
elegant construction.

section of the capital city of Peking Is
surrounded by high stone wall, in
side Of which are the royal palaces and
other state buildings. No one but the
highest officials, coming on business Of
imperial Importance, is ever allowed
inside the walls. Even they are OBJ
liged to dismount upon reaching the
gate in the wall and proceed on foot to
the palace. Nor do the members Of
the imperial family stray outside the
same boundary. Only once or twice
has either the Emperor or his mother
appeared beyond the wall. Within the
prohibited city the Dowager Empress,
now over 60 years old, is supreme.

old lady herself directs that the news

In spite of the present boom, there is
going to be a hard fight before the
automobile wins the place predicted for
1t by its devotees. The greatest problem
will be the reform of roads. The bicycle
has done wonders in this direction. but
the bicycle is too meek and unassertive
to accomplish n complete reform. All
It asks is four or five inches of un-
spoiled ground at the edge of the road,
and there, If other carriages and traps
do not botch its work, it will make for
itself a beautiful velvety little path
which answers as well as the broadest
of turnpikes, so long as daylight lasts.
But the automobile, though occa sionally
built in bicyclical form, demands more
for effective use. 1t must have real
carriage road, built with n thorough
ness and excellence not usually to be
found in this country outside of the
great state turnpikes and such pieces
of model road as Massachusetts has
been building. But while n great pre-
liminary investment is thus called for.
an even greater financial return is to
be looked for from the general adoption
OF the automobile for traffic Even at
present there Is no comparison between
the cost of steam and horse power over
good roads. and the saving will be
greater as the mechanism Is improved.

in cutting and shocking the graiT

Every principle of good farming was
observed in cultivating this big field
with the result that the total outpu
will not be less than 100000 bushels oi
as good wheat as can be found in Okla

twenty-five bushels. There are many
acres that will run from forty to fifty
bushels. Buyers have already Offered
60 cents bushel for the entire crop
1t is probable that the owners will ge
from 60 to 20 cents, gross sum Of
$65, 900 or $4,000. The cost of produc

The lynching problem has been
solved. An Eastern editor proposes
that in all regions where mobs and
lynchings are prevalent sheriffs and
deputies should be armed with kodaks.
When the mob attacks the Jail the
deadly instrument is turned upon it..
No would-be lyncher, it is urged could
hold his ground. The only trouble in
connection with this proposed method
is the fact that lynchers usually oper-
ate in the night. However, it might
prove effective to scatter officers among
the mob to make flash lights brilliant
enough to reveal the identity of the
mobbers. The idea is brilliant one.

From an investigation Of new pat

turning largely to the attractive field
of effort found in devices for taking

some of these that enthusiastic pro-

the iceman. Devices for producing
artificial cold are multiplying with
great rapidity and while some of these
are of but limited and costly utility
others give promise of being able to
meet common wants and necessities In
