pope on his pontifcal jubilee was an an
cient clock, in the form Of planisphere.
dating from 1925. 1t was constructed at
Plaisance by the mathematician Bernardo
Facini, who presented it to the wife OF
Philip II Of Spain. The planisphere gives
the hours and the minutes. according to
the Italian and Spanish style. the length
of days and nights according to the sea-
sons, the daily position of the sun accord
ing to the signs of the zodiac, solar and
lunar eclipses the real seasons and the
seasons according to astronomy. Notwith-
standing the enormous progress made in
mechanics since its construction. the move

When once 1t broke down. no one was
found able to repair 1t.

Clerical Life in Fiction.

From the Treasury.
Bishops do not often figure in the modern
novel When they do appear. 1t is for the

II IL Like a Hickey Except That
Ginger Ale Is Used.
Nearly every summer some new drink
is invented and becomes popular in the
bars over the country. but SO far this
season none of several new decOctiOns
that were started out as the summers
fad in the drinking line has obtained a
lasting popularity, says the Kansas
City Star. In Virginia. the home Of the
mint julep, an effort was made to super
sede this fayorite drink. The new bev-
erage was practically the same as the
mint juiep. except that it contained GU
racoa, a cordial. But the new drink
didn't prove popular. Curacao, howev-
er, is largely used this summer to favor
drinks.
About the only new drink called for
at the leading hotels in Kansas City is
the 'gin buck" This Is quite popular.
1t is composed of the juice of half a
lime, a jigger of dry gin. and then the
glass is filled up with ginger ale. The
gin buck differs from the rickey only
in the use of ginger ale instead of wa

Abyssinian Monarch to Make His
Own Coin. ,7
King Menelek Of Abyssinia is getting
along in the world. First he thrashed
the Mahdists. Then he drove the Ital-
ians out Of his kingdom. Then he vel
coined the diplomats Of European Ia
tons, playing against another.
Now he Is to have a mint. says the
New York World. What an advance
this means may be- realized from the
fact that Abyssinia until recently has
been getting along with cubes of rock
salt for cash. A small amount Of coin
minted in France has of late been in
circulation. Now the king will make
his own. Consul Masterson Of Alden
reports that he has saved up 11O,23O
pounds Of gold for the purpose.
There are 400 ions Of mint machin-
cry. 1t was sold by a Stettin concern
and was landed at Djibouti, East AZ

it up. The machinery will be transport

will be transported by caravan to the

ney occupying more than a month.

The Cup Defender.
Our gallant yacht Reliance

Our gallant yaCnt NellanCe
Has nobly borne the test:
OF all the Yankee racers
She's speediest and best.
In breezes strong and tickle.
In smooth and choppy seas.
She met her friendly rivals
And vanquished them with ease.
She met the old Columbia.
The yacht with twice won fame,
But that once stanch defender
Was never in the game.
The speedy Constitution
Was also left behind
In rushing and in drifting
On seas Of every kind.
And now the swift Reliance
Is chosen to defend
The trophy that bold Upton
From us desires to rend.
Against the latest Shamrock
Our newest yacht will race.
And both. as we're believing.
Will set a lively pace.
We've heard a lot of boasting
About the Upton boat;
We know Sir Tom regards her
The fastest yacht aloat.
But Just the same the spirits
OF Yanks go soaring up.
And all are sure that Shamrock
Will fail to lift the cup.
The time 10 fast approaching
For test of every claim,
And soon the rival racers
Will make their bid for fame.
We on the swift Reliance
Our hopes of triumph pin.
But let there be no favors,
And may the best boat win.
