WORLDS BIGGEST ICE RINK.
Every Indication That, Lake Superior
Will Be Entirely Frozen.

From the New York Times.
Present prospects are that Lake Superior
will before the end of February be the Big
gest skating rink in the world. Old-timers
in that region declare that from present
prospects the mighty inland sea will freeze
entirely over, which would be at least a
very unusual thing, and as far as known,
something that has never happened within
the recol. ection of man. At any rate an ex-
traordinary amount of ice has already
formed. and the great ice making month
on Gitchie Gumme is February. There IS
more ice OH the lake now than at any TINE
during any winter in dozen years past.
and as rule the Duluth ice men. have
never depended on getting more than
partial supply of their domestic Ice from
these waters.
December this winter was a very cold
month, and the winter as a whole thus far
has been more severe than common. In the
great cold snap of January % to 81. during

REMARKABLE RELIC.
Head of John the Baptist Restored to
Original Holders.

Rome Correspondence of the London Telegraph.
The English Catholic colony here is con-
sdered to have been specially favored by
the pope. They received his holiness sea-
sonable compliments under the form of the
restitution to their Church of San Silvestro
of a relic which is claimed to be unique
1t u.s. in fact, quite independently of its
religious value, a most interesting and i'm
portant object, because of its history and
the traditions which cluster around il.
Highly honored and truly fortunate may
that church claim to be which shelters the
authentic head of ST. John the Baptist
That is the gift which the pope has just
bestowed upon the Church of San Silvestro
According to a tradition ten centuries old
the head which was demanded by the
daughter of Herodias as reward for her
dancing was carried from Palestine to
Rome. 1t reached the eternal city thou
sand years ago, being brought by certain
Greek monks, who deposited 1t in the
Church OF San Silvestro in Capite which at
that time was a monastery
Innumerable miracles were wrought nv
the agency of the head of the saint. and in
such estimation was the relic held that
regular pitched battles were fought for Its
possession. In 1411, while the head was
being carried in procession, certain unrulv
Florentnes attacked the cortege, but they
were successfully repulsed by the Romans.
who were led by the Prince Colonna of the
time. After this. fearing that the precious
object might be lost, the popes ordered that

1t is of the utmost Importance that in the
event of war between two great powers
sides. and We therefore regret that the in
discreet course of the American nurses who
anticipating outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Japan and Russia. offered their serv-
ices to the Japanese minister in the United
States has been commended in England
Whatever may be the private opinion of
nurses. 1t is not within the scope of their
professional duties to be partisans of either
Japan or Russia, and only harm can be
done to nursing by any movement that may
tend to render them So As a matter of
fact If unha ppily Japan goes to war 1t has
sufficient nurses of Its own. In our issue of
April % last year we published an account
of the nurses of the Japan Red Cross So
ciety. From this it may be seen that nearly
year ago there were more than go
nurses already trained, and upward of 900
still under training, who would be available
for service in the event of war. Both in the
conflict between Japan and China ten years
ago. and in the north China troubles of
1900 the nurses OF the Japan Red Cross
Society We'd with each other In reporting
themselves ready for work; and as they
join 1t not in order to earn a living but
purely for the purpose of affording suceor

Is no doubt that in any circumstances
there would be an adequate rally. Japan
has. in short. its own army nursing service,
which renders offers of foreign aid quite
