CARDZuAL 7xZRPY DEL VAL

was not he was Influenced Dy the last
conner. so that the secretary Of state
would have to make some immense
mistake, or mistakes would have to
accumulate to such an extent that
there would be universal protest,
before he would replace him.
But now, 1t is said, the pope has
reached a decision, and the usually
well-informed Rome correspondent Of
La Petite RepubliQue of Paris formal
ly declares that Cardinal Del Val viii
shortly be replaced by "a prelate who
win be more conciliatory In his atti-
tude toward France"
And If Merry Del Val does quit the
question is being asked: Who win be
his successor? Some say Rampolla,
who, although SO years OF age, Is still
vigorous. Others say that Monsignor
Kennedy. rector Of the American col
lege at Rome, may get this high Of
fee.
Monsignor Kennedy has been rector
Of the American college for years, and
in way has been the intermediary
between the pope and the bulk Of the
English speaking countries. He IL
thoroughly conversans with the inter
nal affairs Of the Vatissga Should he
be called to this ONCE Monsignor Ken
nedy would undoubtedly be created a
cardinal in private consistory, as was
Cardinal Merry Del Val.
Monsignor Kennedy Is a PennsyI-
vanian by birth. He is in his fiftieth
year and at the the Of his appoint
ment to Rome was stationed at Over
brook seminary.

TIE First Steel Car.

in a recent issue Of a Chicago pa

car ever constructed was run between
Jersey City and Washington, March 6,

In the Cape of Good Hope colony
many Of the short railroad branches
and extensions do not pay, on account
OF OK wagon competition. says the
Rhodesia Herald.
IN the report Cor the year 1905. re-
o-utly issued, the traitic manager Of
ohe OF the lines reports in regard to a
new ls-mile branch that as there was
very plentiful supply OF wagons and
an abundant supply Of grass during
the season OK wagon rates ruled low
and the railroad secured little general
traffic.

lowing he places pair of trucks, upon
which are mounted pair of inclined
tracks. The front truck supports the
rails close to the wheels of the tend
er the opposite end of the rails end
ing close to the top of the coach in the

is that the engine and tender will be
derailed by being forced upon the in
clined tracks and the terrible effects
Of telescoping. the worst feature Of
railroad accidents, eliminated.

say. as high up as the architrayes,
were covered with inscriptions, most
ly Attic or relating to Athenians. BY
comparing the inscriptions Il has been
found possible to determine the order
Of the courses Of masonry; in this way
the antae have been restored from top
to bottom, and give the height OF tie
edifice.
A frieze Of triglyphs and sculptured
metopes extended round all four sides
Of the building. The metopes, 80 In
number, have been found almost en-.

the battles Of the gods and the giants.
and the deeds Of Hercules and Theseus.
