Accounts of the remarkable material
progress made by Poreo Rico under
American rule have come to us from
time to time, indicating that the prom

than fulfilled
Some time ago in the Outlook George
Marvin gave graphic and comprehen-
sive review of this industrial progress
since American Intervention, paying
particular attention to the invasion Of
the American trolley car and the au-
tomobile, the establishment of telephone
systems IN Ponce and San Juan, express
and telegraph service. the building of
ice-making plants, sugar mills and
American cafes, as well as the improved
methods of agriculture. That this prog
ress has been reflected in the export
and import statistics was also shown in
statistics presented by Mr.. Marvin.
From these figures it appeared that our
shipments to the island have multiplied
eight times since 1898, while within the
same period Porto Rico exports to the
United States have increased from ST.
415,O00 to SIP 100000
More gratifying than all this, how
ever, Is the extension of the American
school system in the island and the
work already accomplished in educa-
tional lines. There was public school
on the island when George Wendell
Moore, of Newark, o.. was appointed SUI
perlntendent of education. In an inter-
view in the Chicago Record-Herald Mr.
Moore states that there are 90 graded
school buildings, costing from $4,000
to $4,000 each, four high schools and
% rural schools, costing about $4,000
each. The enrolment for the coming
year, it is thought, will exceed $4,000,
with 1000 native teachers and 200 Amer
lean teachers.
Notwithstanding this extension OF
public school facilities there are 1O0,-
600 children who cannot receive the ben
efits of free education until the insular
fund for this purpose can be increased
The progress already made, however,

The vatican library is the Oldest Ii
Drary extant, having been founded in
the fifth century. Among it's 225, 900
books and $4,000 manuscripts are to be
found some of the rarest treasures of
the literary world. Space would not
even admit of the briefest mention of
the more important Of these, but we do
wish to refer to what may be right
FULLY termed the most priceless of all
The treasures of the vatican library.
It is the ancient manuscript of the
Scriptures, called the Codex Vaticanus.
and in critical authority inferior to no
other manuscript. 1t is beautiful
inical manuscript-that is it is written
IN Greek capitals with no division be-
tween the letters. 1t presents three
narrow columns to the page, except in
the poetical books of the Old Tesla
ment, which. as in the Codex Sinaiti-
cus-an ancient manuscript of the
Scriptures in possession of the Russian
government-are written in verses,
clause by clause, according to the
sense, in two columns. 1t is written
on fine thin vellum and contains the
greater part of the Old Testament, and
the New as far as Heb. 9. IA. AS far as
can be learned, this manuscript has be-
longed to the vatican library since the
fifteenth century. Its earlier history is
unknown, but it undoubtedly dates
back to the fourth century. The late
pope, Leo XIII, was instrumental in
opening several new rooms and ar
chives in the vatican library and thus
permitting the public to have access
to many of the treasures which had
hitherto been withheld from the pub
lie. He was a lover of books and his
rare private collection Of books and
manuscripts in accordance with his
will are being rearranged and added to
the vatican library. This work. which
is in the hands of Father Ehrle, was
being carried out at the time the fire
occurred and it is said that many of

pared to many of the larger picture
galleries of Europe is rather unimpor-
tant, and yet possessing as it does
some of the great masterpieces, as
enumerated above, it adds glory and
value to the vatican palace.
The TRANSPORTATION has been called
the greatest picture in the world. There
has been some question as to whether.
Rafael actually finished the painting
before his death, but Vasari declares
that he did and that it was placed at
the head of the painters bier. 1t is at
all events absolutely sure to the minds
of the best critics that parts of the
picture were the work of Giulio Roma
no. who for long time was Rafael's
right-hand man. The concourse of
people at the base of thte mountain in
the picture are credited to him. The
subject of the picture was given to Ra-
fael by Cardinal de- Medici, for whom
it was painted. He was obliged to
illustrate two distinct incidents, the
TRANSPORTATION on the mountain top.
and the bringing of the lunatic boy to
the disciples at the base of the noun
tain. Critics have found fault with it's
double perspective, but the masterli-
ness with which Rafael has accom-
plished it must be admitted.
The Madonna di Foligno was ordered
by Sigismondo Cont, chamberlain for
julius H., and was intended to COM
memorate the chamberlain's escape
from a meteor during the seige of Fo-
ligno, an escape he credited to the in
tervention Of Heaven itself. The pic

Hawaii.

The power of Hawaii's political boss
Is waning since Princess Theresa Will
cox failed to carry the home-rule con-
vention, says Honolulu special in the
Chicago Inter Ocean. For Hawaii's
political boss is woman, and also a
princess of the royal blood. That is,
she says she is a princess. and no one
who has felt the sting of her tongue
cAres to say her nay.
Princess Theresa is the most prom
inent person before the Hawaiian pub
lie to-day. When Queen Liliuokalani
ruled the islands Mrs. Wilcox did not
count for much in the political life of
the country. 1t was after the American
form of government was instituted that
she came into power.
Mrs. Wilcox wanted the power. and
brought Wilcox into the race for con-
gress. She also organized a home-rule
woman's club. 1t elected her husband
as delegate, and for two years the
princess enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing the social leader of the islands.
Mrs. Wilcox. when she was not in Wash
ington, bossed the home-ruIe party in
the islands
When Wilcox returned few months
ago, having finished his term in con-
gress, he was ill and reported to be dy-
ing. His wife took up the reins of
party control and kept things going in
the committee until Wilcox was able
to be out. and presided at meetings of
the executive committee. One man
who had the temerity to object was
read out of the party.
The princess started a newspaper
for the purpose of electing a good,
Mean ticket to start off the county
government. She told her constitu-
ents just what she wanted. and they
turned her down. The princess left
