occurred when Mr.. Haskin was sent 10
Rome to secure an interview with tie
Pope. While it is not a difficult matter
to see his holiness, by joining one of the
groups of pilgrims: to gain private audi

statement for publication. is much
more difficult. Day after day went by
and the editors heard nothing from their
correspondent. They waited patiently,
because they knew their man. Finally.
when the press dispatches stated that
Haskin had been received in private audi

the habit Of making good.

But such a condition Is frequently met
with in certain parts Of the Florida pc

are Underiaid with bodies OF water of a

Augustine, under which area is known to
be one of these subterUanean streams,

time ago to Try TO coax 4 flow OF water

machinery with perpetual power which
should always be ready for instant use.

FALL OF SCOT IN CITIES.
Soft Coal smoke sends Down Eigh-
teen Tons Daily In Cincinnati.

From the PitisbCrg Dispatch.
A scientific investigator in Cincinnati
has been trying 20 arrive at a definite
idea of the amount Of SCOT deposited In
the city IN the course OF a year. O1e OF
his tests Was TO place buckets. three
fourths filed with water on eleven roofs
in different parts Of the city. At the end
q three months q careful analysis was
made Of the contents OF the buckets to
ascertain the amount of carbonaceous
matter.
THE finai computation is that in the
downtown area the falling scot amounts
to 81 tons a month or eighteen tons
daily. On square mile OF the city the
SCOT deposit Is III tons month. or 393, ~
pounds. an average CT several pounds to
each inhabiiant In one OF the suburbs
the SCOT IN the bucket was 46+ grams to
the square foot for a period CT thirty
DAYS. For The same time the deposit at
4 central point in the city was % $50
grams TO the square foot
