The statement of Prof Lorenzo Matteucci
OF the royal observatory on Mount Vesu-
vIus TO the effect that toward the end of
March the substance of the new comet dis
covered by S:gnor Marchetti will come into
contact with the atmosphere of the earth
ana the consequences may be dangerous to
the earth. has not only attracted a great
bedi OF attention the world over, but the in
haoltants Of this part of the world are
alarmed lest eruptions of Vesuvius and
earthquakes may follow In consequence. The
brother of Prof. Matteucci is of the same
opinion as to the danger that threatens the
earth Both astronomers hold that If the
actual nucleus of the comet Is merely
crossed by the earth the danger will be
orlel, though necessarily acute If, how
yer. the earth collides with not the nu-
cieus, put the tail of the comet it is argued
tnat the atmosphere of the world will be

fror Matteucci says that other important
Phenomena are to be expected as the result
of the recent appearance of spots on the
sun. " 'o
Local authorities are. however. endeavor-
ing 10 reassure the public by calling atten-
ton to the fact that there have been MANY
similar predictions of disaster from comets
and other causes in the past. Again and
again the end of the earth has been foretoId
as as imminent. but the earth still survives.
The late Miss Agnes Clerke one of the
most distinguished British authorities m
such cosmic problems, takes a reassurfng
view. and this view has been produced by
the local papers with the idea of allaying
any panic among the people. She points out
that the solar system Is stable and orderly

FROM ITALY'S CAPITAL
END OF FAMOUS CASE-HONEY-
MOON AMONG PIGMIEs.


Epecial Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, March 22.-After a hearing last
Ing for several weeks the famous case Of
Eilomena Stoppato, who posed as niece OF
Cardinal Rampolla and defrauded various
people out of large sums of money, has
reached an end at last Although the little
6rmy of lawyers tried to give the affair the
Importance of Humbert case, the crowds
which thronged the courts every day were
disappointed, as the judges were inclined to
Boften down any and all attempts to at
tack the Vatican and the church.
Nevertheless the pope has ordered a strin-
gent inquiry to be made, during the trial
il appeared that Filomena Stoppato, alias
the MarChioness Venizia. had acted as
kind of go-between for the proprietor of the
well-known church at Vale de Pompeii,
where miracles are supposed to have taken
place. and certain friarS who were repre-
scented as being anxious to obtain the adj
ministration of this valuable property. His
holiness sent to Vale de Pompeii his al
mOner, MOnSignOr Sill, whose brother is an
Italian deputy.
The people who were present at the trial
were also disappointed because the judges
refused to order Cardinal Rampolla to ap-
pear as a witness.
FiOmena was sentenced to twenty-five
months Imprisonment, the priest Ferretti,
her partner. to nine months, and the DOM
inlcan friar Ciarach. her lover, to eight
months. The latter was liberated as he had
blready been in prison for eight months be-
fore the trial
Maj. Powell-Cotton, who has spent his
honeymoon among the pigmieS of the Ituri
Forest and has been exploring Africa for
twenty-seven months, has just arrived in
Rome on his way home The explorer and
his wife are both in good health although
he shows traces of the hardships he has
endured and has no fewer than seventeen
wounds. the result of a terrible attack on
him by Il lion near the Albert Edward lake.
Species of forest animals hitherto I'M
known to science were shot. These include
the dusky African tiger cat. about the size
of leopard; the honey badger or black
Ituri ratel. the elephant shrew, an antelope
armed with tusks which dives under water
a new and white monkey. and an immense
red buffalo. Five of these animals have been
named after the explorer by representatives
OF the different governments and scientific
Institutions of Europe.
Dealing with some of the incidents of his
travels. Maj. Powell-Cotton said: zone of
the officials at Wadolai told me a curious
story of how the natives in the vicinity dis
pose of the old folk when they become
burden. As soon the infirmities of age
manifest themselves the old people are
given a soothing draught and wrapped in
fresh antelope skin. Thus attred they are
carried by members of their family to
spot some distance from the village and
are abandoned in the grass close to native
track. The first native coming by sees what

Wages Good "SmeIlers" Earn.

From the London World.
There are several trades which provide
men and women with good livings simply
because they enjoy an exceptionally keen
sense of smell. Scentmakers, for example,
need some one with very delicate sense
OF smell to aid them In mixing the ingredi-
ents of perfumes in proper proportions
Queen Alexandra's favorite perfume-vlolet
costs $40 per ounce bottle. and it has to
run the gauntlet of five professional smell
ers' before it is passed as being correctly
blended and ready, for her majesty's use.
Some of the leading firms of perfume
makers pay their ''smellers'' from "a to ct
week. Contractors for the lighting of
streets. large public buildings and pleasure
grounds very often engage "smellers" to
find escapes of gas, one shilling being gen.
orally paid for each escape reported. Some
of these men frequently make over f3 In a
single week. the result being that In many
cases the fee has been reduced to Cd per
escape reported
