STIRRING TIMES IN 1901.
Some of "OId MOOre's" Predictions
For the Coming Year.

Some of "OId MOOre's" Predictions
For the Coming Year.
In his London almanac for 1900 "Old
Moore predicted more than one great
war, the assassination of a monarch
and a terrible famine in India, and as
all these predictions proved true many
persons not only in Europe, but also IN
this country, have been for some time
curious to know what kind Of predic-
tions he would make in his almanac
for 1901. Their curiosity can now be
satisfied, for his almanac for the COM
ing year has just appeared.
Here are the principal predictions in
it:
In January there will be a formids
Bile agitation in France, and a severe
attack will be made upon the republic.
In February and March most notable
events will take place in the extreme
east and India will threaten to rise up
against British domination.
Though there will be trouble in va
rious quarters during the entire year,
April will be a comparatively quiet
month.
In May Ireland will follow the exam
pie of India and will rebel against
England.
In June the anarchists will again
! come to the front and will give the
world much to talk about. During the
same month the young king of Spain
will be in danger from his political en-
! emies, and he is cautioned to guard
| against them.
| July will be a month of catastrophes,
| the whole world being threatened at
| this time with misfortunes of various
kinds. Those who are planning to take
| q journey during this month will do
| we'll to remain at home.
| August will be comparatively quiet.
| During September India will again
| suffer terribly from famine.
During October the dervishes will
start an agitation which may attain
formidable proportions.
| In November the kingdom Of Holland
will attract attention by its dangerous
and novel diplomatic policy, and the
statesmen in the various foreign offices
will have to exercise all their skill II
| they would avoid a conflict.
In December there will be insurrec-
! tions, revolts and strikes in various
quarters of the globe. As rule they
may not be of great Importance, yet
they will occur at this time, and they
will be the striking features Of the
month.
AS will be seen, "Old Moore's" pre-
dictions for 1901 are startling, to say
the least His statement in regard to
Holland is especially curious, and
many persons are puzzling their brains
to discover how this little kingdom
can ever manage to attract attention
by dangerous and novel diplomatic
policy" which will cause European
statesmen to lie awake at night.

VASTNESS OF ST. PETERS.

Great Cathedral.
During q recent ceremony In st. Pc
ter's, Rome, one Of the crystal chande-
liers suspended from the ceiling began
to creak ominously, and the people be-
meath it hastily scattered. In q mo-
ment the mass fell and was dashed in
to thousand pieces on the floor below.

the workmen were suspending these
chandeliers they were taking them out

ner for its different ceremonials.
Cords run over pulleys fastened far
up aloft, and with these the chande-
liers were hoisted to their places. st
Peters is so enormous that the eye
there Is continually deceived. The
chubby cherubs at the holy water font
look to be the size Of ordinary babies,
yet they are nearly seven feet tall, and
a man standing beside them looks like
dwarf. When the workmen were
hosting these chandeliers from the
floor, q traveller noted with amaZement
that the masses of crystal were over
eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to
their places far up in the dim heights
they looked about the size of a mans
head.
Workmen in st. Peters are called
"sanpietrini." They take their name
from the basilica "San Pietro"-"san-
pietrino," plural "sanpietrini." They
have a set of lofty scaffolds mounted
on rollers. These they move from place
TO place about the vast church. They
are not unlike our fire departments
water towers. Ladder after ladder
runs up the scaffolding, and by their
aid they reach places from 100 to $50
feet above the floor. xOther ingenious
scaffoldings are used for work on the
inside of the dome. Seen up there the
'sanpictrin" look like flies crawling
on the ceiling. The top Of the dome Is
about in' feet above the foor-St.
