CoNsIsToRY IN DECEMBER.

No American Cardinal is Expected
 from the Pope.
 Rome June 20.---It was semi ofiiciai- ly declared at the Vatican today that the date of the next consistory had not been definitely decided. Tn some au- thoritaive quarters, however, 1t is be- iieved that 1t will be held in December, bi1ee.
 Nothing Is known regarding the re- port that two American and one Eng fish cardinal are to be created. The creation of cardinals is entirely in the hands of the Pope. who often acts without even the advice of his secre- tary of state. Merry Del Val, or any other cardinal.
 It is improbable that there will be any new American cardinals.

CHICAGO PARTY MAKES
 HEADQUARTERS AT HOTE


 With the exception of Representative Sherman. former Governor Herrick. Charles F. Taft and Robert Taft. who drove directly to the Taft residence, the Chicago party went to the hotel Sim ton. which has been selected as head quarters for Secretary Taft during the approaching campaign.
 At 10 o'clock 1t was announced that Secretary Taft would begin his confer ence with the National Committees sub Committee at the residence Of Charles P. Taft at II o'clock.
 At the conference it probably will be determined definitely who Is to be the National Chairman of the Republican party in the campaign. It is evident from the tenor of the early morning among the members of the sub-com- mittee that they are nearly equally divided on the question. Both Frank H. Hitchcock. who managed the Secretaries preliminary campaign from Washing ton, and Arthur I. Vorys. the Ohio manager, have staunch adherents, but this morning a sentiment developed among those interested in the ap- preaching contest in favor of the selec- l tion of some man who had not been directly connected with the preliminary campaign management It is pretty certain at this time, however, that the committee will accept the Judgment of Secretary Taft, If he chooses to an- nOunce a personal choice. It is expect ed that he will express such a choice, although he has given no public intima- ton as to whom his choice may fall upon. He remarked last night that he had an open mind on the question and would indicate no selection until he had discussed the situation thoroughly with his friends on the committee

visible. He was very much fatigued from his work of the last few days and did not emerge from his state room until the train reached the city limits of Cincinnati.
 Prior to the arrival of the train from Washington, the regular Big Four night train from Chicago pulled into the de- pot with the candidate for vice presi- dency, James S. Sherman of New York. the subcommittee to confer with Mr. Taft, and the family of Charles F. Taft, one of the proudest members Of the latter party being Robert Taft. the collegian son of the Secretary. who had witnessed the nomination of his father at Chicago.
 The crowd set up a hearty cheer when the train arrived and repeated it again and again as they caught sight of Mir. Sherman, who was recognized from the published pictures. being a stranger personally to the crowds.
 The subcommittee was headed by the veteran Powell Clayton, of Arkansas and Included former Governor Myron T. Herrick. of Ohio. Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, Charles NageI of Mis- souri, D. E. Hart of Iowa, Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho, E. c. Duncan of North Carolina and Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. A large number of Ohio and Kentucky delegates and visitors to the convention were also on the Chicago train and nearly awaited the arrival of the train from Washington. The Queen and Crescent train pulled out just before the arrival of the Secretary and the Kentuckians missed the welcome in the depot but shouted their greetings as the trains passed in the railroad yards.

McClure's New Cover.

The June number of McClure's Maya
zine appears in new cover OF formal de'
sign which it is proposed to use as
permanent standard.
The function of magazine cover Is
presumably to hold together and facilitate
the handling Of the pages; but this fact
seems to have been very largely lost slght
of in the over-development OF cover dec
Grafton which has taken place during the
mast ten wears. The use OF color and OF
nictorial effects has become increasingly
extravagant with view to, attracting at.
tention ON the news-stands; until in the
midst of the riot thus created, nobody
can be heard.
For many years Mr.. Mcclure has sought
n design for a cover of his magazine which
would have the dignity and distinction
requisite to permanent use, and atter IRE
ouent disappointments, has met with
what he believes to be successful cover
in the design of T. M. Cleland OF New
York. who has made an exhaustive study
of this particular problem. 1t was nee
essary that the design should have some,
thing of the classical distinction and
formality of fine architecture, that 1t
might be said of this cover that it is the
house in which McClure's Magazine
dwells. -.
The reproduction of pictures in color
will continue to be regular feature; put
it is hoped that by combining this work TO
the inside of the magazine upon paper OF
a more suitable texture, finer results VIII
be obtained.

A NATURAL "FIGURER.'
Zerah Colburn of Cabot, Vermont s
Marvellous Lightning Calculator.

One of the most remarkable lightning
calculators' who ever lived was Zerah
Coburn, who was born in Cabot Septem-
Der |, 1904, and who became an eminent
teacher of mathematics in several lnsn-
buttons of learning. His father was much
surprised one day to hear him repeating
the product of several numbers, although
he had at the time in question received no
other instruction than such as could be
obtained in a small country school, the
curriculum of which did not include
either writing or ciphering. The father
thereupon proposed variety of arth-
metical questions to his son, all of which
the child answered with remarkable IA
cility and accuracy. At the age OF eight
young Coburn was able to solve the most
difficult questions by the mere operation
Of his mind. Many persons eminent, Tor
their knowledge In mathematics made a
point of seeing and conversing with HIM
and they proposed to him great variety
of questions in order to test his marvel
GUS powers. Among these questions were
the following
Give the square of $4,000" !,
After hesitating a moment the boy SAID
it was 800, 99S, 0O0, O0l, and observed that
the square of 81 ,037 by the square OF q.
He was then asked to multiply his given
result twice by 40 and once by %, a task
which he accomplished successfully
though the answer consists of II figures
Name the cube root of 413,993,3 4S,
81" was the next trial given little 20
burn.
To this he gave the correct answer in
five seconds.
'.How many times will coach wheel,
II feet in circumference, turn round IN
256 miles; and how many minutes In AZ
years
To the first he replied in two seconds,
1880; and the second before the whole
and added that the number of seconds IN
given period was l,5l3, 72S0OO.
What are the factors of 247 ,4S3?
The boy almost Immediately replied
that they were 94I and 262, and that these
were the only factors.
Various other questions of a similar ma
ture respecting the roots and powers OF
very high numbers were Unfortunately
proposed to young Coburn, and he always
succeeded in giving the correct answers.
He could tell the exact product arising
from the multiplication OF any numbers
by any other number consisting OF an
equal number of figures; or, if any mum.
Der consisting of six or seven places OF
figures was proposed, he would determine
with equal ease and expedition all the
factors of which it was composed. This
singular faculty, therefore, extended not
only to the raising of powers, but also to
the extraction of the square and cube
roots of certain numbers proposed, and
this without the assistance or any aid In
the form of pencil or paper.
Many persons tried to obtain knowl-
edge Of the method by which the boy was
enabled to answer with so much facility

critics pronounce the play as one OF
the most interesting and thrilline
ever presented upon the American
