possible for every member of Congress
to inspect the navy yards. and the great

THE HEAVIEST ELEMENT.

Osmium is one OF the rare elements.
and during the last few years it has
come into prominence owing to its use
in the manufacture of hlaments for the
Nernst incandescent lamp. The name
Osmium-Greek. osme. smell-was given
TO the element because OF the disagree
able characteristic odor Of its volatile
peroxide, which somewhat resembles
chloride. 1t was discovered in 1903 by
Tenant. Metallic osmium is blush
white in color. hard, brittle. almost in
fusible, and the heaviest substance
known. When finely divided IL is
readily Oxidized by air, or by the action
of nitric acid. In nature. it is found in
timately associated with platinum and
the platinum group of metals, especially
as an alloy of iridium. forming the min
eral iridosimine: il is alloyed also with
platinum. X has been found In the forms
OF grains and scales in the sand and

Leo XIII.
The Dead Pope's Place in History q
Notable One.

'NtabAC OAS-
The death of Pope Leo XIII.
though long foreshadowed, comes with
certain melancholy shock. He has
filled for so exceptional term and
with so vigorous mastery one of the
worlds greatest posts of leadership
that his departure weighs upon us
with a sense of blankness. His exit
robs the world stage of a figure
whose influence, so far-reaehing and
so long continued, we are for the time
being at loss to estimate.
Born in the dark days for the
Papacy which preceded Napoleon's
fall, Joachim Vincent Raphael Lodo-
vlco Peeci lived through all the vicis-
situdes of fortune which during the
rest of the nineteenth century the
Papal power was destined to undergo.
He saw the temporal sword restored
TO the hands of the Roman Pontiff.
He helped to administer government
IN the Papal states. He saw revolu-
tons sweep away that government
and foreign Intervention restore it.
And, finally, when the withdrawal of
French support had made the head of
the church prisoner in the Vatican,
he rose to be himself that dispossessed
but still mighty potentate. Elected
Pope at sixty-eight, but two years be-
fore the completion of the Psalmist's
span of life-he has outreigned the
'years of Peter serving in all in the
Pontifcate twenty-five years and
nearly five months.
The labors with which this long
reign was filed cannot be adequately
discussed or passed in judgment here.
But when the history Of Leo
NllPs life is written by the historian
of the future we think his fame will
be securely established as one Of the
greatest rulers who ever mounted St.
Peters chair. In It's relations with
the great temporal powers the Papacy
has had to face embarrassments of
the most trying nature. in asserting
Its claims to purely political recogni-
ton it has been hedged with insur-
mountable difficulties. In maintain
ing its hold on the thought and affec-
tIons of the Catholic world il has had
To meet new problems and new exigen-
cies born Of the spirit of modern de-
moeracy and modern progress.
But no one can deny that under
Leo XIII the Papacy has strength
ened and broadened in influence. 1t
has been brought everywhere in closer
touch with modern life and modern
ideals 1t has sought-and sought
Tightly-nOt 50 much 10 recover It's
temporal dignity and renew the links
which bound it to other temporal
powers as to fortify its spiritual au-
thority and to win the cooperation
and assent Of those forces in every
nation which make for enlightenment.
for social elevation, and for social
progress.
This Will certainly be counted as
the dead Pope's greatest work-that
he revitalized the Papacy as an agency
Of civilization, and that he utilized It's
enormous potencies in forwarding the
religious and social ideals not of the
eighteenth or even the nineteenth
century, but Of our own still more en-
hghtened day.
