WHERE WILL RE
 PERM aNENT

The Church of St John Lateran is second in fame among the churches of Rome only to St. Peters itself. St. Johns Is called the mother and head of all churches and its history justi- fies the dignity implied in the phrase. The original basilica was erected by Constantine in the palace of the Lat eran, but was destroyed by an earth quake in S96. It was rebuilt but was twice thereafter destroyed by fire, the first time in 1908 and the second in 1860. pr@ixtensive changes have been made in car le church at various times, particularly TIA the latter half of the sixteenth cen aury. The present classical front be- uongs to the eighteenth century. The

RISE IN KANSAS RIVER
The James Street Bridge at KansSs
 City Carried Away.
The Only Means of Street Car Conn munication Between the Two
 Kansas Citys Cut of.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 1S-The first serious damage to result from the present rise in the Kansas river at this point came Monday morning, when the James Street bridge, the only means of street car communication between the two Kansas Citys, went out The bridge had been weakened during the night water of the past week and gave way when struck by great mass of dirftwood carried in from the west by the swift current.
 The James Street bridge was built upon piles to replace one carried out in the big June food Other structures, including the stock yards and the belt line bridges, are in imminent danger
 Part of the belt line bridge went Sunday
 The river, after becoming stationary Sunday, rose slowly during the night and continues to rise. Much water is coming this way from the west, most of the tributaries of the Kansas river being high from recent rains. After a raise of another foot or two it is be- lieved fall will commence, unless the heavy rains of the past week continue. Men are working hard to protect the railway bridges which are still being used. No other property is in danger

Twenty-One Warships Drawn Up in Four Columns on Long
 Island Sound.
THE WEATHER RIGHTEOUS
 AND THE REVIEW A SUCCESS.
Thunderous Sa1utes Greeted the Chief Magistrate ns He Passed the Lines of Sea Fighters and, Later, Paid Visit to Each Vessel in the Fleet.

Oyster Bay, Long Island, Aug. 1S.- Twenty-one warships drawn up in four parallel columns a mile long and in- cluding some of the best fighting ships of the United States navy, resting on the glassy surface of Long Island sound, composed the picture which lay spread out before President Roosevelt when he stepped out on the veranda of his home at Sagamore Hill early Monday morning. Their brass work shining under the slanting fays of the morning sun, gave evidence that every ship was spick and span for this, the first naval review at the nations sum mer capital, and probably the first ever held for the exclusive purpose of pres idential honors
 UnexceptfonaI Weather.
 Fairer weather for the review could not have been asked. When the pres- ident boarded the Mayf1owers launch at the J. West Roosevelt landing, there was hardly ripple that wrinkled the surface of the water

heavy ornaments of the nave date from 1644. The roof is fiat, of wood and rich ly coffered. The cloisters, which are the product of the thirteenth century, have beautiful round arcades, slender cou- pied columns and elegant mosaics The baptistry, which was founded by Con stantine, remains to this day practically unaltered. It is not known at what time of his life the great Christian emperor built St. Johns, but there is no doubt Of its origin or its antiquity. The name Lateran is derived from the ancient Roman family of the Laterani, who hourished in pre-Christian times and who in the reign of Nero owned the Lateran palace.

In turn, he visited each of the battleships and cruisers, the cer- emony being repeated in each in- stance.

With the presidents flag from her main truck, the Mayfower steamed slowly off to the east end of the right column, made sweeping curve, and moved down through the lane between the first column of battleships and cruisers and the first colmun of de- stroyers. Lines of white-clad sailors manned the rails, superstructure, fight ing tops and yards of the white fleet and dotted the rails of the dark-hulled destroyers.
 12-pound gun in the Kearsarge's secondary battery spurted little flash of flame and smoke, and the succession of presidential salutes began. While the smoke was drifting from the Rear sarge's guns her band struck up "Co lumbia," and her sailors gave the pres ident ringing cheer as the Mayfiower moved by. At a speed of three miles an hour the presidents flagship pro- ceeded down the lane and, as she ap- preached, the guns of each of the ships in turn spoke in salute their bands and the cheers of sailors joining in the trib- ute The guns of the destroyers were silent.
