Archbishop Diomede ,Falconio, apos-

the special representative of the Vati-

powerful members of the Roman Cath

present envoy Of the holy see succeeded
Mgr. Martinelli last year, and although
born in Italy is an American citizen.

no other ALTERNATIVE than to abolish the
position. During the past seven or
eight years, however, .semidiplomatic
relations have been maintained through
the apostolic delegation.
Born in an obscure town in Italy,
Mgr. FalconiO Joined the franciscan
order of F'riars Minor at the age of
sixteen. Five years later, in 1865, he
came to this country and entered st.
Bonaventure's college at Allegany, n.
Y, where he completed his theological
studies. After being ordained priest in
1866 he continued as a teacher at st.
Bonaventure's for several years. 1t
was at this period of his career that he
became Paturalized American.
From St Bonaventure's college Mgr.
FalcOnio went to Newfoundland and in
a few years became vicar general of
that diocese. Early in the seventies he
was recalled to Rome and was rapidly
advanced in the Franciscan order until
he attained the position of pFocurator
general In 1892 he was made arch
bishop of Acrenza and in 1899 was APP
pointed apostolic delegate to Canada.
Mgr. Falconio is an accomplished lin
guist, speaking English, French 'and

Cardinal Oreglia. the present ad in
terim head of the Roman Catholic
church, and a probable successor of
Pope Leo, today fills a very unique
position and for the next ten days the
Catholic world will watch closely his
utterances regarding the condition of
the church.
1t has been rumored that Cardinal
Oreglia, who has frequently expressed
his dissatisfaction with the methods OF
the financial administration at the
vatican, will take advantage of his
brief tenure of power to call to a very
strict account those officials and digni-
taries who are at present intrusted
with the control and management of
the papal treasury. In fact. the demise
of Leo XIII, is likely to be followed
by some very drastic measures at the
vatican on the part of Cardinal Greg
liza, and this eventuality is. according
to the well-known divine at Rome, who
writes for the Independence Beige, a
matter Of grave concern and of much
discussion in pontifical circles in the
Eternal City. While Leo XIII prac-
ticed a far greater amount of economy
than his predecessor on the papal
throne and abolished all sorts of use
less extravagances and sinecures, it is
doubtful whether he was as we'll serv-
ed in the management and administra-
ton of the pontifical treasury as was

expenditures were large. There are
no estimates discussed in council at
the Vatican and no annual statements
of the condition of the papal treasury
are made. The pope is his own treas
ury department. and money matters are
! settled by him with his accountants
under a triple seal of secrecy.
The financial affairs of the pope be-
ing one of those things not particular
ly the business of outsiders, many out
! siders have taken an absorbing inter-
terest in them and the volunteer ex-
perts have been able to account for a
papal expenditure of $1,5OO.OOO a year
They also can account for an income
of $1,000,000 a year. The puzzle is to
find the missing half a million dollars.
This, work as they will, they have not
been able to do so far. 1t comes from
somewhere-but where?

Italy the new government did not in

cuiar clergy, and though friars and

government fund. Since then other
congregations have cropped up under
foreign auspices to such an extent that

the wealthy Jesuits. are said to own
property TO the extent of $50, ,000, 900. So
the lower clergy of Italy. far from be-
ing drain on the papal treasury. help
materially to its replenishment. The
majority of the cardinals are archbish-
ops and draw their revenues from their
sees. Only about twenty-five live in
Rome as associates with the pope in
the government of the church and draw
salaries from the papaI exchequer. !
These "Curia Cardinals" each receive
a salary of $1,000 a year. which can
not be considered large for such an
exalted office and considering the state
which they are expected to maintain. /
The pope never renounced his SOW
ereignty over his lost Italian states and
at foreign courts nuncios
and legates, whose duties in countries
where the state church is the Catholic
church are not confined entirely to ec-
clesiastical affairs. These ambassa-
dors of the Holy See are of course.

Handy went to the Coast some weeks

there are circumstances favoring the
doubt already mentioned.
There is nothing wrong apparent in
Mr.. Handy's relations with his chief

ascertained, of an intention to stay
saway. What has started the talk is

Mr. Handy left all of his office keys
with Marshal Hendry. but all OF his
private effects were removed from the
Office. The family had apartments at

an easy matter on shortest notice. Still
neither Marshal Hendry nor Miss Han

ones just stated why

paid out of the exchequer of the Vati-
can. Then the pope had a numerous
household of prelates and chamber
lains, a small army of servants and
miniature army, of guards, which par
ades on state occasions and furnishes
guards for the great palaces of the
Vatican and Bateran. The chamber
ceived only nominal salaries, but the
common soldiers, the court prelates
and the great staff of subordinate en-
ployes cost ready money, and it is stat

MONUMENT OF MONT PELEE.
UpheavaI Twice as High and Four
Times as Thick as the WASH
ingtOn Monument.

Prof. Angelo Heilprin, whose work
in studying the Martinique eruptions
is doubtless we'll known to our readers,
announces most curious and wonder
full phenomenon which he had the OPP
portunity of studying on Mont Pele.
He states, according to the Scientific
American, that from the crater of the
volcano there has been forced up a
column $40 feet high, having dame
ter Of about 800 feet at the base Prof.
Heilprin asserts that he himself wit
messed part of the upward movement
of this enormous mass. He noted that
in the space of four days there had
been an elevation of II feet. 1t seemed
to him, however, that the upward
movement of the mass had slightly
subsidized, and that it had at one time
been very great.
This natural monument, according to
Prof. Heilprin, must have been twice
as high and at least four times as
thick as the Washington monument.
Just what caused the upward projec-
ton of this material cannot very well
be explained. Prof. Heilprin suggests
that the internal stresses of the earth
have forced out molten lava, which
cooled sufficiently to solidify when it
emerged. The phenomenon was all the
more remarkable because no lava
whatever was elected in 1902. The &C
count then published simply stated
that ashes, rock, steam and gas had
been vomited 1t is not, however, i'm
possible that there may have been a
slight election of lava then, and that
the present manifestation is simply
proof that the disturbances have not
reached low levels OF lava.-Scientific
