contents, taking them to a bank in Steu-

SUGGESTED BY ST. LOUIS MAN.
Statue to Lavoisier, French "Foun-
der of Chemistry."

Communications from Paris contain In
teresting details Of the unwilling at the
Paris Exposition of the statue in memory
of Lavoisier, known in France at 1.-The
founder of chemistry This event is of
special local interest, as the movement for
the erection of this monument originated in
St. Louis.
The idea was first mooted by Doctor Gus
tavus Hinrichs of the st. Louis College Of
Pharmacy, on February Il, 1891. Doctor
Hinrichs delivered a lecture upon the work
Of Lavoisier before a local scientific n
literary society. He lamented the fact that
no monument had been erected to the MEM
DRY Of Lavoisier. and urged that the mat
ter should be taken up by the chemists not
only OF France. but Of the entire world.
Copies Of the lecture were forwarded to
several prominent French chemists. and the
French Academy enthusiastically took up the
work, Doctor Hinrichs, being appointed
delegate to the academy from the United
States.
Layo!sier was guillotined on May IA. 1874,
within a few weeks Of 100 years prior to the
suggestion made by Doctor Hinrichs. He
was a martyr to science, and his was the
most distinguished head that France lost
in the Reign Of Terror. Lagrange, the great
mathematician. speaking of the execution.
said; They have in a moment laid low a
head. such as France may not produce in

demonstrate what it can do.
The big airship is propelled by a large
sail propeller. operated BY a pair of pedals,
similar to those used on a bicycle. The
spindle-shaped main body is made Of cot

concentric rings Of steel Is provided for the
operator. From this ring are suspended
bags OF sand. which the operator uses in

ONLY LOW MASS FOR HUMBERT.
Louisville Italians Aroused by
Catholic Prelate's Decision.

Washington, Aug. 25.-A protest has been
sent to the papal legation here by the lead
ing Italians of Louisville, KY, against the
recent action of the Very Reverend Doctor
Bouchet, Vicar General of that diocese. in
refusing to conduct a solemn mortuary serv-
ice in honor of King Tumbert,s memory. 1t
appears that Father Bouchet had consented
to offer a simple low mass for this pur-
pose, but declined to hold any more eiab-
crate service.
The present Bishop OF Louisville. Doctor
William McCloskey. was formerly connected
with the American College in Rome, and.
therefore,, has decided views on the differ
ences existing between the Vatican and
this question have prompted him to support
Father Bouchet's attitude against paying
extreme honors to King Humbert's memory.
Is not known. but the fact that he %sustains
his Vicar Generals contention leads many
Italians to infer so.
Archbishop Martinelli enjoys the right in
this country of disciplining any priest or
prelate for breach Of duty. but since the
present action Of Doctor Bouchet Is no in
fraction. of the moral law, it is evident that
neither himself nor his local superior, Bish-
op McCloskey, will incur any severe penalty.
