TIE PAPAL FANo.

D-excI From the Vatican.
After years OF diplomatic effort Mrs.
Joseph Drcxel. widow Of the former
PARTNER Of J. Pierpont Morgan, has at
Inst succeeded IN securing from the
none the famous eight foot fans Of the
Vatican and has brought these trophies
in triumph to America. They Will be
presented to the American people and
placed on exhibition in the museum OF
Pennsylvania university.
Visitors to the Vatican will remember
these gorgeous emblems Of imperial au-
thority. No papal procession was COM
Dlete without them. When the pope
WAS carried into the audience chamber
or took part in any OF the festivities OF
the church. the fans were always In
evidence. either carried alOft by a IA
yored pair Of noble guardsmen or al
lowed to rest against the papal throne
Years ago Mrs. Drexel saw these rams
and coveted them. Almost any favor
asked by this charitable woman would
have been readily granted by the pope
but the fans were regarded as too close
" associated with the history Of the
church TO be allowed to leave the Vat
lean. They had been familiar features
OF Roman Catholic celebrations since
the days Of Plus TX. and were mai
lowed by too many memories lightly tc
he relinqushed, even at the request OF
SO good friend Of the church as Mrs
DreXel.
Mrs Drexel was disappointed, but
not beaten. Year after year, when vls
iting Europe, she had audience OF the
none and renewed her plea for the
fans. and at last Leo XIII. gave re
luctant consent to the splendid sym
bols being carried or by Mrs Dre1el
In return the Vatican was presented
with another pair Of fans, even more
gorgeous than the old ones, although
lacking the historical interest OF those
secured by Mrs. DreXel.
The fans are splendid creations. INT

carried aloft are Of crimson velvet. y

Fish, Fisl. .siE md Fishermen.
There Is one corner Of the Harvard
college library that is SIRE to attract
all lovers OF angling. Ter It contains one
of the most interesting collections of
books on fish. fishing and fishermen to
be found IN the country There are
books in Latin in German and in
French: books that date back to the
early days OF the printing press and
books that were brought out couple
of months ago In London or New York.
The greater part OF the collection Is the
gift Of John Bartlett, an enthusiastic
fisherman who is known to multitude
OF readers as the compiler Of Bart
let's Familiar Quotations" but valu-
able additions are being made to II
constantly from other sources.
Outside OF better known books like
Izaak Walton's "Compleat Angler" OF
which there are nearly sixty separate
editions. the collection abounds In
quaint treatises Of fishing lore that bear
witness to our forefathers' devotion to
the gentle art" and often contain sug-
gestlons and hints that would not come
amiss i'm the hnndbooks Of the more up
TO date angler John Dennys, who
wrote the Secrets Of Angling" put his
advice into verse. The first edition Of
his poem, which is divided into three
books. appeared in 1913 and is one Of
the rarest volumes in English litera-
turc. Then there is old Geryase Mark
ham, who contended that "a skilful an
gler ought 10 be n general scholar" SO
that he might know how to write or
discourse on his art in true and fitting
terms. either without affectatiOn or
rudeness." Another yersifler exhibited
his knowledge in lines like the follow
