The Dead Sea Falling.

The dead sea in Palestine was
formerly much larger than at pre-
sent. as,is shown by the old beach
es stretching at various attitudes
around the whole basin.
The phenomenon is not due to
natural causes, but to the steadily
increasing quantity of water that
is taken from the Jordan river for
irrigation purposes. There are
other smaller streams flowing into
the sea and they, too, are being
utilized by the increasing number
of farmers, who are diverting all
the water they can get to the lands
and are relieving the monotonous
aspect Of the former arid and life
less region with many verdant
fields.
Inc latcSt travellers say that
some of the salt deposits covering
the bottom of the lake may now be
seen above the water in the shall
lower places and near the shores.
This is new aspect in addition
to the deposits of salt crystals that
have always been observed on the
shores. But, even though this
desiccation goes steadily Oh, it
will takea long time to dry up the
waters, for it requires a sounding
line oyor 1900 feet long to touch
the bottom in the deep northern
part of the basin. New York Sun.

POPE FOR A DAY.
Leo's Successor VIII Reign for TWEEN
ty-Four Hours, But VIII Not
BE Called Pope.

When Pope Leo XIII. dies his immedi-
ate successor will be Cardinal Luigi
Oreglia, camarlingo of the Roman Cath
Ollie church. He viii not be called pope,
but according to the laws in force he
will be acting pope until the new pope
is elected.
The vatican regulations decree that
the election of the new pope cannot
take place until after the burial of the
late pope, which takes place ten days
after his decease. In many instances
the election is not complete for weeks
or months, so that the camarlingo may
enjoy his papal power for long time.
Leo XIII. held the position of camar-
lingo when he himself was elected to
the pontifcate, but it does not seem
eeed to the papal throne. 1t is the ca
marlingo who formally declares the
pope dead after tapping his forehead
three times with the silver hammer.
He it is who breaks the seals and
ring of the fisherman" and then as
sumes the direction of the apostolic see
until the new pope is chosen.
The camarlingo presides over the sa
cred conclave of the cardinals having
the election in hand, and keeps the key
of the place of meeting, so that none
can enter or go out save with his conf
sent. When the election is concluded
he asks the new pontiff what name he
intends to take. And after he has re-
ceiyed the salutation of the assembled
cardinals it is the Misunderstanding
who places on his finger the ring Of
he fisherman" He is, in fact, the
lctual successor OF the pope, even
though temporarily. Cincinnati En-

Mormon Exploring Party.

Dispatches from Salt Lake City re-
port a very unusual development OF
Mormon enterprise. A Mormon scien-
tific exploring expedition recently set
out for fifteen months exploring
trip to Mexico and Central and. South
America. The company is made up OF
twenty students Of Brigham Young
Academy, in charge of President Cluff
| Of the academy and two members of
the faculty.. The general purpose of
the expedition is to search for ruined
cities, photograph their remains, and
Ito collect botanical, archaeological and
ahthropological specimens. Besides
this 1t has special religious errand.
The Book of Mormon, it seems, claims
to be a record of the ancient inhabi-
tants Of. America, from the time of the
Tower! Of Babel To- e. the fifth century %, d
the Christian era. The Mormon Oh story '
is that;the1Nephites of the tribe Of. Ma
