POPE LEO.

Perhaps one Of the most remarkable
features Of the pontidcal jubilee, IS
The fact that all the world including
the Protestant portion OF It, Is bringing
tributes of honor and respect to the
papal throne at this time. The praise
of Leo Is sung In every language, and
every key, His "saintllness," his
righteousness, his genius are the
themes OF praise in prose and verse.
What change is this from the time
when nearly all Professionals regarded
papacy as the false prophet and Ro-
mansm as the beast OF the apocalypse
There may not be any formal APP
proach between Professionalism and Ro-
mansm; but It Is quite certain that In
sentiment the gulf between the two Is
growing perceptibly narrower, The
wound is healing.
The present incumbent Of the papal
throne certainly Is most remarkable
man. II will be remembered that he
had lived mans allotted time OF three
score and ten, or almost so, in 1873,
when he was elected pope. He was
frail then, and no one thought he would
live long. And yet he has now ruled
the greatest religious body on earth for
d quarter Of a century beyond the time
by the Psalmist assigned TO mortals.
And now at 80, he is still said to be men
tally strong His career is unique. No
pope, except his predecessor has reign
ed so long, leaving out Of question the
myth about st. Peter.
Life is worth living II you have a
mission to perform, and Leo certainly
has had an important mission. He has
tried TO stem the tide OF lnhdelity in
the world and to regain FOR his church
the power that was lost by his predeces.
sor. His success has not been In pro-
portion to the intellectual strength he
has applied TO the problem. but he has
won for himself personally the esteem
Of the world and that viii not be with
out profit for the church Of which he
is the head on earth.

ARK OF THE COVENANT.

One OF the unsolved problems of the
past Is the whereabouts OF the ark OF
the covenant and other sacred pieces Of
furniture OF the ancient temple. The
ark was a box overlald with gold. In
1t were Kept the law, and some sacred
relics Of the wanderings Of the people
In the desert. The ark, together With
COME sacred vessels were supposed to
have been hidden by the Prophet Jere-
miah, when the temple was threatened
with destruction, and since then they
, have been lost sight Of The question
Is now asked whether the ark may
not be found in Ireland, In the Hill of
Tara In fact excavators are at work
looking for It there.
A correspondent OF the London Ex-
press undertakes TO show, how the
famous box may have reached the
Emerald Isle, He points out that Jere-
miah, when fleeing to Egypt, no doubt
took with him such objects as the pot
OF mamma, Aaron's rod, and the two
tables Of stone upon which the CONF
mandments were engraved, which were
stored In the ark, But in Egypt some
Of the refugees fell into dolatry. This
80 annoyed the prophet that he quilted
the country and left 1t for one of the
colonies OF the tribe OF Dan. (sup-
posed by some TO be the present Dem
mark) The prophet still carried the
sacred objects with him, and among
bis companions was a daughter Of the
king Of judah. Irish tradition has It
that the vessel carrying the refugees
was wrecked on the coast OF Ireland,
and the youthful king Of that part fell
in love with the kings daughter who
was given him in marriage by jeremiah
upon his promising to establish coll
lege at Tara and promote learning and
religion, This the king promised to do,
and tradition says that upon the death
of his wife he raised a cairn (the fam
