TIE CHAPEL OF "QUO VADB"9
SITE OF CHRESTS APPARTTTON
TO PETER IN ROME.

DR.. CrOke Discusses Origin Of the
Second Century -Shrines Marking Two
Spots as Probable Scene OF the Story
RoME, May DIR. William J. d. Croke,
a member of the British and American
Archaeological Society OF Rome, delivered
a lecture recently N the chapel known Al
the "Dcmine Quo Vadis," supposed to
mark the traditional spot where the Saviour
appeared to 81. Peter as he fed from Rome
along the Appian Way "a. d. 65l.
Vast as has been the work OF illustrating
the sites OF tho Eternal City little or nothing
seems to have been done in the case Of
this chape, and the legend from which it
originated. The ground bearing the name
OF Quo Vadis has hardly a written history;
scarcely more than a legend.
When the literary fiotsam Inc jetsam
which oomposes the history Of b Quo
Vadis site is gathered one is moved by a
regret and a surprise. The regret is that,
contrary to the laws governing the life OF
legend, this Of the Quo Vadis plunges into
an obscurity of literary reminiscence. 1t

OF a literary kind after that which the age
Of the Fathers gave it, though there is
sufficient evidence Of its intense popularity
among the pilgrims who from all parts Of
the world thronged Rome during the
medieval era. On the other hand, and

FHIsTLER's COCK FIGHT YARN.

Whistler used to take delight In telling a
story OF some American sailors who were

WATER DOESN'T CAUSEVoLcANoEs
Opinion Formed by Geneva Scientist From
Study Of VeSuytus Crater.

Albert Brun. a chemist and geologlst Of
Geneva. Switzerland, has been making
an exhaustive study Of the causes Of VOL
canoes, and he reaches the conolusicl that,
at least in the case Of Vesuvius and probably
in all cases, the water theory may be re-
jected. The theory that water reaching
the subterranean fires and exploding as
steam ia the cause Of eruptions he regards
as disproved by conditions found In the
oraters when they become quiescent.
For instance. he found In the crater Of
Vesuvius great deposits OF chlorine salts
which deliquesce under the influence OF
the vapor OF cold water. They melt away
instantaneously. Their presence IL ~irrecon-
oilable, NJ. Brun thinks, with the notion
that steam had been at work in the crater.
Further he ands that the oinder or eoorim
from the volcano have the power OF alb
sorbing great quantities Of water, and he
thinks would certainly have done 80, with
characteristic chemical changes, II water
had been present when the eruption took
place.
NJ. Brun considers that the yaporols
clouds which hoat, owe the volcano during
eruption need not necessarily be steam

North Wisconsin Farmers AssOcia-
tiOn Re- Organization.
Meeting of the Counties in
the Association to be held
at Hayward Nov. Z.

The movement to organize the
northern Wisconsin counties for
the purpose of cooperating in
promoting immigration seems
about to be crowned with sue.
cess. The preliminary work Of
organizing county development
associations in the various north
ern counties is nearly complete.
Local organizations have been
perfected in twelve or more
counties, and delegates chosen
to represent those local organi-
cations in the convention which
will be- held in Hayward, Novem-
ber Z. Four Or five other coun-
ties have TAX en- the first steps
toward organizing, and it appears
that at least sixteen connties
will be represented in the Hay
ward convention.
This convention made up of
two delegates from each county
Development association, will
perfect the organization of a fe-
deration along the lines recon
mended by the North Wiscon-
sin Farmers association, the or
ganization which has for several
years maintained the famous
Grassland advertising car. While
details of methods to be used re-
main to be determined by the
convention the general purpose
will be to cooperate with the
state board of immigration, and
with the Wisconsin Immigration
and Development association in
boosting northern Wisconsin.
That cooperation in this manner
will result in more systematic
and effective work in advertising
to the homeseeker the unequal
ed opportunities offered by
northern Wisconsin cannot be
doubted.
The work of organization has
been taken up in the various
counties with an enthusiasm
that presages success. 1t
should receive the hearty ap-
proval and support of all who
have the best interests of North
ern Wisconsin at heart. Ash.

Washburn Defeated bv Ironwood in
Game Last Saturday.
Was one of the Best Games
That has Been Witnessed
in the City.

In the game of foot ball last
Saturday afternoon on the local
grounds between the Ironwood
school and the Washburn High
school team, the latter were de-
feated the score at the close of
the game being Is to 0 in favor.
of Ironwood.
The game throughout was one
of the best that has ever been
played in the city but when the
two teams had lined up for the
beginning Of the game it could
plainly be seen that the IRON
wood boys outweighed Washburn
from ten to fifteen pounds to the
man, and considering the weight
the score was considered a very
poor showing for the miners as
they are considered to be one of
the fastest teams in the northern
peninsula Of Michigan. The
Washburn boys played for all
that was in them and succeeded
in holding the Ironwood team
down to the small score. in the
first half Ironwood made two
touchdowns but failed to kick
goal each time. In the second
half they were unable to score
on straight foot ball and the
third touchdown was made on a
punt in which an IrOnwood play
er got the ball and carried it
over the line.
This was the second game that
the boys have played Ironwood
this year, the first game the
score being q to O, which shows
that the local boys have inn
proved wonderfully since that
time.
