ANGRY WAVE GIANTS.

When I hear the word ocean"
think of a vast stretch Of water ex-
4ending from land to land, with it's
angry waves dashing against the
coasts of some countries. I also
think of the icebergs, which float in
the ocean. think Of the great ships
that sail from place to place. In; the
winter, when hear Of a storm on the
ocean, I think of the people on board
the vessels, and I wonder if they will
reach shore safely. also think Of the
sea plants and sea animals. .,--..

THE EvER-HuNeRY OCEAN,

When I think of the word ocean"
it brings to mind pictures of large
whales and men with their harpoons
and spears with which they capture
the whales. I think the ocean must
be hungry because it sends its large
waves over the ships and capsizes
them when it gets a chance. It seems
to pick out the ship with the largest
cargo. The ocean must have thought
that Columbus and his men had a
poor cargo, or it would have tried to
sink them; but we will believe the
waters knew of the large continent
which he was about to discover, and
SO helped him along.

strong constitution was unable to bear
the strain put upon it by the corona
ton ceremonies. Such has been the
effect upon his nerves that he has
been unable to sleep for whole nights.
while numerous receptions Monday
made matters worse Monday night
his holiness was very much agitated,
still he insisted on admitting in the
morning to hear his mass all VenetianS
who had journeyed to Rome purpose
ly to attend the coronation. They
numbered about 800 when the mass
began in the Pauline chapel and the
air was vitiated, with the temperature
above 80 degs.
Pope Plus was seen to grow paler
and paler, finally throwing out his
hands as though seeking support. He
would have fallen had not Mgr. Bres-
san, his private chaplain, been quick
to catch him. 1t is Impossible to de-
scribe the confusion ana alarm among
the worshippers while the pope lay
motionless and unconscious. with his
eyes closed.

present was DR.. DavenZia, who for
nine years has been the pope's attend

Dr. Lapponi has recommended the

ordered all audiences postponed. The
pope. however, cannot understand the
necessity OF sparing himself and said
to DR.. Lapponi:
Il am stronger than Pope Leo. Why

1t was explained to him that Leo.

nights perfect rest and thereafter
gradually trained himself to his new
duties. Moreover, Leos splendid con-
stitution did not need exercise in the

man does.
1t is officially stated that the pope's
collapse is due to heart weakness, ag-

The pope. after taking some medi-

was able to lunch, afterwards taking a
sleep which lasted two hours and a
