POPE RECEIVES THE CARDINALS
Pontiff Ignored Physicians Rcmon.
STRANGE to Rest.

STRANGE 10 neSt.
Rome, March DIR. Lapponi, the
Pope's physician, made yesterday
morning last effort to induce his
holiness to renounce his reception of
the cardinals. He demonstrated with
him, saying: Your holiness, my duty
is 10 point out that-yesr health would
greatly benefit by your resting to-
day" The Pope replied: "My dear
doctor, before your valuable advice
comes my duty, which | shall perform
to the end
The audience was held in the Popes
private library, and Leo NH. spoke
continuously for half an hour with the
42 cardinals present. No address was
delivered, and the most important
words were when the pontiff referred
with emphasis to his advanced age
and approaching end. He was led to
speak thereof in reminding the car
dinals that the room in which he was
receiving them was the same in which
Plus TX held his last consistory, he
Ueo XIll) being present, but in bed.
The cardinals greeted this reference
to the possible approach of death with
n chorus of noes and with eXclamations
of I'VE have all come to wish you a
long life"
BY this time the excitement Of the
reception had improved Pope Leos
appearance. When he entered the Ii
brary his form was bowed and trem-
bling. but he now seemed to have ac-
quired strength and animation. He
showed the cardinals a magnificent
antique clock which had just been pre-.
sented to him by the Count Of Caserta,
the head of the Naples branch Of the
Bourbon family. Before retiring he
presented to each cardinal a richly
embellished pamphlet, reviewing the
chief events in his pontificate, in.
Guiding a Latin poem of his own COM
position, and five of his most import.
ant encyclicals. His holiness said: 81
will order that the few cardinals alb.
sent. like Cardinal Gibbons, shall also
have It,"

FoCHT EXPLAINS NEW BALLOT PLAN.

Senator Focht in discussing the new ballot bill
which he will present, said
"The bill which | will present is the result of
careful investigation and believe will meet the
demands of all reasonable people. While straight
party voting is permissible the independent
voter is offered every facility for cutting the
ticket. The ballot will be one-third the size of

secure this compactness this Till will provide for

BEAUTIES OF OXIDATION.
Changes Wrought i'm the Appearances
of Certain Articles by the
Peculiar Process.

Many COLOR changes are due merely
to oxidation, and degrees of color are
oftenumeS measure of the extent of
this oxidation. The metal copper, for
example, goes through beautiful play
OF eolors as oxidation proceeds, until
finally it is black. 1t may be pointed
out, however, says the London Lam
Get, that the intermediate stages of col
or, like the cOlors Of the soap bubble
are due to the mutual interference Of
the light reflected from the two sur
faces of the thin film of oxide formed
over the metal. Iron, again, in moist
air, Will first present a blackish-greeF
film and finally it becomes bright res
as in the familiar rust. Zinc rust Il
white, mercury rust is red, silver rus
is brownish black, and all are simple
examples of oxidation. AS a rule this
higher the degree of oxidation thf
more intense is the color The ordinary
oxide of manganese and potassium are
respectively light brown and white;
when they are still further oxidized iT
company an intense green product IL
obtained, while a still further degree Of
oxidation produces a brilliant purple
as is seen in permanganate of potas-
SUM.
The change produced in the color of
certain shell fish by boiling is probably
also the result of oxidation being pro-
NOTED. The question Is often asked.
without satisfactory answer being
supplied, why do Holsters and certain
shrimps and prawns turn red on boil
ing One reason, it may be, is that
the black pigment of the lobster or
tho hrnyrvT7 MI ont nf ho &c
iron compound in the lower state of
oxidation. On boiling, the black pig
ment turns to red perhaps because the
iron in 1T has in the process of boiling
been oxidized to the higher state, much
in the same way as metallic iron turns
to rust or proto-salt of iron to per-
salt on boiling. 1t is easy to understand
that continuous immersion in sea water
would keep the black iron pigment per-
manent. On the other hand, the change
in the iron compound may be one OF
hydration. Hydrated oxide OF copper Is,
for example, green. while the dry oxide
is black, and on simply boiling with
water the hydrated green oxide of cop
per turns black.
Red human hair Is said to owe its
brilliance to iron existing in the higher
oxidized state, and by means of reduc-
ing agents such as pyrogallic acid or
nut-galls, which are often ingredients
OF hair dyes. the color may be modified
so long as the use of the dyes is con-
tinued- In short, oxygen is a great
painter. so to speak. though, of course,
it is not the only element which fulfills
that role. Oxidation. at any rate, prob
ably accounts for the beautiful au-
tum Sll tints of plant life, which are lost
soon after the leaf reaches the ground.

its and moods. He is young man
still, considerably under 40, and when
Reed picked him up he was barely
more than boy; but he hadn't been
in the harness a single session before
he was looked upon by the older MEM
bers as an authority on parliamentary
law. and before two congresses had
passed there was nobody else about the
capitol who could compare with him.
Reed himself depended on Kinds alb
solutely. The great speaker was not
much of an adept in the fntricacies of
parliamentary law and didp pretend to
be. He was concerned in reaching re-
suits and having made up his mind
what he wanted to do he had a way of
turning to the experts about him for
information as to how he might do it.
Kinds was always able to find a way
and the speaker never hesitated in fol-
lowing out Kinds suggestions no mat
ter where they might lead.
There has not been q republican
speaker since who has not been even
more dependent on Kinds than Reed
was. When Reed was in the chair he
noticed that whenever the house got
into a parliamentary tangle Kinds
would HE himself to the speakers
room and hurry back with some loose
sheets OF paper, upon consulting which
a way out was sure to be found This
had happened several times when it.
aroused Reeds curiosity. He inquired
about it and discovered that his clerk
had spent his spare hours collecting all
the precedents and decisions of speak
ers from the beginning Of the govern
ment-work which nobody had ever
had the intelligent industry to under
take before.
Kinds had drawer full of these pa
perS and as soon as the house leaders
found out about them they passed
resolution to print them and put then,
in permanent form. Kinds beck is
now the standard work on parliament
tary presidents.

Rick.haw Going Out i'm Japan.

Japan is finding that electric trac-
ton and the "rickshaw' are incom-
patible, and the result is that over 2 1000
human horses in Toxic have given I'D
the unequal struggle with the electric
car, and have decided to emisrate in
body to the Hokkaido, there TO engage
in the fisheries and other callinss. 1t
seems a pity, for there are few pleas
anter ways of travelling on a coed road
than behind couple of stalwart
kuruma-ya who do their eight miles an
hour with ease. From the national
point of view the disappearance Of the
kuruma-ya may have important con-
sequences. In physique they form al
most class apart, and though their
calling does not conduce to longevity
they were valuable asset in Japan's
military system, as they proved in the
war with China In a country where
horses are poor and scarce, man power
traction was formerly a necessity. The
motor car will now probably take its
place.-Ioudon Chronicle

He'd like to have you tread,
II one were picking out the skies
To arch above your head,
No doubt he'd pick the same old ways.
And skies the same bright blue,
AS those old ways and those blue skies
That his own boyhood knew.
And so wish for you the things -

That you may be a harum- scarum,
Good old-fashioned boy;
Thatsyou may, where the placid branch
Lies whipping in the sun,
Shuck off your 'duds and swim and have
Some good oid-fashioned fun.
That you may climb the wooded hills,
And find a grapevine swing;
That you may know and mock the tunes
OF all the birds that sing;
That you may find a sweetheart wee,
And take your knife and mark
Her name and yours, heart-bordered, IN
Some craggy oak trees bark
For If you know not things like these,
These good old-fasnioned joys,
sThe good cd ways and things we loved
When We were little boys
Manhood WON'T mean so much to you,
Nor be so full of joy;
And SO just wish you may be

Indiana faculty for close calculation.
He is not ehummy fellow and for. that
reason he may never gain a popular
hold on his party, but he is bound to
grow as long as hesremains member
of the house and he VII become more
and more a factor in legislation.
Hemenway will hardly develop into
floor leader. for he lacks the snap and
pugnaoity of a born debater, but he
will always be looked upon as safe.
He, too, is young enough to look for
ward to career, but his ambition lies
in the direction of the senate or the
governorship of his state. Hemenway
and Overstreet come from adjoining

bleS up Pennsyl-
vania avenue one might well imagine
himself watching the resurrected
speakers rolling gait. Kinds has the
same easy drawl supplemented by the
same hard sense and delicious humor.
His face is of the keen Yankee type, so
that here the resemblance ceases. No
body who remembers Reed can ever
forget the vacant noon-like expression
which used to characterize him in his
moments of repose.
At home during the recess of cou-
gress Kinds not only writes the editO-
rails for his paper. but he occasionally
hustles ont on an important local as
signment. Last summer he thought he
would look after the army and navy
maneuvers, which centered about Cush-
