ENTER, THE POPE!

ROME, March 5.-An amusing Incl
dent has started a rumor that the octo-
genarian Cardinal Mocenni has been
ordered to quit his apartments in the
Vatican. The Cardinal has been con-
fined to his rooms for several weeks
with rheumatic govt and is subject to
violent fits of irritation
One morning about midday the Car
dinal lay on a divan in his study
putting a pipe and absorbed in a
French novel. Presently there was a
gentle knock on the door which the
Cardinal disregarded. A still louder
knock failed to make the old gentleman
bulge. but, this being followed by a
third knock, which was loud and pro-
longed, the Cardinal raised himself in
wrath and flung the yellow backed
novel to the floor, calculating in stem
torian tones:
Who the deuce is this bothersome
rascal? Come in"
Half laughing, and half shocked, his
Holiness the Pope, entered.

SYSTEM AT MONTE CARLO.

MONTE CARLO, March 5-A new
bank breaking syndicate, which has been
working unobtrusively for several weeks,
is credited with wonderful success,
causing the popular belief that the
Casino directors are for the first time
distinctly uncomfortable The syndicate
consists OF three Americans and two
Englishmen with capital OF SI25, 5000.
Two of the syndicate play stimuli
taneously at different tables Each backs
even chances to win S25 every time I'M
til they have been successful in a fixed
number OF coups. Then they play to
win $50, periodically increasing the
amounts while fortune is favorable and
returning to the original IS basis when
their luck turns
The public partly attributes the recent
serious fall in the Casino shares to the
success of the syndicate and partly to
the increased anti-gambling agitation.
The French authorities are seriously
considering placing a tax of so per cent
on profits of all public gambling and
so-calIed visitors clubs.

ing to do all in their power to
bring these operators to time.
The suits to be filed will be
based on a claim of fraud prac-
ticed in feigned attempt at
baling the well. They are posi-
tive in their assertion that if the
well was properly baled a big oil
proposition would be the result.
These gentlemen claim that the
options they held were turned
over to the drillers, and that they
have but small personal interest
in lands near the well, and that
the suit they propose to institute
is in the interest of others and the
county in general.
Mr.. Morris said to the Herald
man: If / can make money
honestly | am always anxious to
do it, but at the same time | want
my friends and neighbors to get a
square deal"
This matter will be watched
with a great deal of interest, hun

Messrs. Cone and Morris that
good flow of oil is there.

A Paying Well is Result of Drilling, But

Bring Suit.

Messrs. Adam Cone and Frank
Morris are preparing to bring suit
against the driIlers who sunk the
Anderson county oil well to can
eel contracts and annul options.
so these gentlemen told a Herald
man today. These gentlemen
transferred options they held on
these lands to these drillers on a
contract which they claim has
not been complied with, and they
wish the options transferred on
the contract annulled, so the lands
can be released to the original
owners.
These gentlemen both assert
that oil in paying quantities was
struck-in fact a big proposition
but for some reason the drillers
have attempted to cover up this
fact, and have absolutely refused
to bail the well rs contract calls
for. They further state that they
want the people to know that they
are not mixed up in questionable
operations, and that they are 60

WATER CLOCKS.
Curious Little Instruments That Are

Curious Little Instruments That Are
Used I'm Sahara Desert.
A mans wealth in the Sahara is cal
culated almost entirely by the number
Of camels or palm trees which he owns
and by the amount of water to which
he is entitled Water in the desert Is
so scarce that the ownership of 1t is
most jealousy guarded. In "A Search
For the Masked Tawareks" the author
says that in buying palm grove 1t is
always necessary to stipulate for so
many sa'as per day or week. A sa'a,
literally IAN hour" is the amount of
water which will flow in an hour
through an opening the width OF a
mans fist in the side of a segia.
The main segias, or channels, as a
rule follow the roads Of the oasis,
forming a sort of ditch at the side. A
regular time table is kept, showing the
hours at which the owners of the diff
ferent plantations are entitled to draw
water.
The time is measured by very curl
GUS little water clock, consisting of a
metal cup, made usually of brass or
copper, with a small hole pierced in
the bottom. At the commencement Of
each hour this is placed in basin Of
water. The water gradually runs
through the hole until at the expiration
Of the hour the cup sinks to the bottom
of the basin. 1t is then taken out,
emptied and set again to measure off
the next sa'a, and 80 the process Is
continued throughout the twenty four
hours.
This instrument Is usually kept In
the village mosque. In order to pre-
vent all interference with it watch
. man Is set over it, who notifies the ex-
piration of each hour from the minaret
of the mosque.
At the end of the sa'a the opening in
the side of the segia through which the
water flows is closed with clay, and the
water is cut off and allowed to flow
down the main channel to the next
plantation.

1t has been observed that immediate
" preceding storms an unusual amount
Of scum appears on the surface of
ponds, and in London Nature a plausi-
BILE explanation Of this phenomenon
attributes it to change in barometric
pressure. 1t is suggested that the
scum formation is due to the rise of
marsh grass from the ooze at the bot
tom of ponds following a sudden fall
in the barometer, presaging weather
change. the gas carrying along with
it some Of the solid matter OF the ooze,

THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Sradison's Part I'm Thus
Naming the Executive Mansion


Just how the White House came to
be so designated is question on which
historians differ. a local historian In
Washington thinks that the burden of
proof tends to give credit for the name
to President Madison.
The structure was made of Potomac
river freestone, and the capitol proper
was built of the same stone At the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did a lot of other dam
age, and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged, other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce, and con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside of the house painted. White
was selected as the best color. Madison
In letter to q personal friend wrote.
"Come In and see me at any time. You
will always find me in at the White
House"
The executive mansion may have
been called the White House before
that time but this investigator says
that he has never been able to find any
record of it. If Madison did not Off
ciate at the christening 1t has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took prominent part in pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name of the mansion.
Up TO the time of President Madison
the executive mansion, which is the
legal name for it, was generally spo-
ken of as the presidents house, but
since then 1t has been known by Its
permanent name of White House.
