part of the Pope and the bishops will
not fail TO cause considerable confusion,

crowd of Americans, as well as a great
number of French ladies and gentle
men well known in the literay world
hocked 10 hear the lecture. given in
the Sorbonne a few days ago by Prof
Archibald Cary Coolidge OF Harvard.
The subject OF the lecture was America
as d World Power Prof Coolidge be-
gan by stating that he felt very ner-
vous at appearing before an audience
which was largely French. on the sub
Ject or the United States and its rea-
sons for certain attitudes with regard
- various questions.
Explains "WoIld Power"
The lecturer then went on to explain
what he meant by world power" He
said that Austria. Italy. and Japan
could not be called world powers be-
cause they take no active part in the
worlds affairs, but only protect the
interests of their citizens.
The great world powers were England.
Russia, France. Germany. and the
United States. because anything serious
Is affecting them would also be Of i'm
portance TO the rest of the world.
Became Power in 1898.
America first became world power
after the war with spain in IS9S, and
another step i'm that direction was the
position taken by the United States in
the allied transactions with China in
1900.
The lecture was given IN English. and
il was surprising how the French part
of the audience grasped the meaning on
what Prof Coolidge said.

One of the first purchases of the
Smithsonian, directly in line with the
formation Of the art gallery, was the
Marsh collection of prints and engrav-
ings. This was lucky speculation, as
it proved. George P. Marsh was for a
long time United States minister to
Greece and to Italy. His collection of
prints was notable one and was
bought by the Smithsonian in 1849
for three or four thousand dollars. It
was temporarily deposited with the
congressional library, and experts esti-
mate its value now at between $50, 1000
and 100000.
The Smithsonian already has quite

able portraits and other objects, all Of

through a fearful tumble of sea. The
schooner's main topmast is gone, and
all sails are lowered except her stay

she is towing hard on the gale. Why
that hoisted staysail? All hands, T
suppose, are drunk.
"In the second picture continued
Capt. Salthorse, the principal boat, an

be for you to go to dinner party

BRIGHTER SIDE OF RUSSIA.
Decent Amusement Is Provided for tho
Workinqmen.

Decent Amusement Is Provided for tho
Workinqmen.
Aside from its working hours Russia
5ises superior to her neighbors in pro-
viding decent amusement for the inn
,mense laber1ng class whose meager
earnings forbid them the amusements
of the prosperous, says the Craftsman.
Nearly every Russian city has a min
iature Coney Island supported by the
state or municipalities, the prevailing
admission fees being from half cent
upward. st. Petersburg has the finest
and cheapest popular theater in Eu-
rope. Where racial and religious
considerations are not involved, the
Russian laws are superior to those OF
many European countries. For ordi-
nary murders, capital punishment is
never inflicted, while the illegitimacy
statute, amended three years ago, is
the most liberal on earth, completely
'annulling the social stigma and other
obstacles which usually attend this
misfortune, which in the case Of chill
dren is nothing more. Unfortunate is
the word invariably employed to de-
scribe criminals and convicts.
