ornamented with rich and rare gems,
no millionaire could hope to purchase
them, even if value could be placed
on them. The pope's little skull caps
are of the finest silks, while his en-
broidered slippers of velvet are gor-

his gloves, made of white wool, en-
broidered with fine pearls in the shape

Yes, he is the hero of Turin; but, like the
true hero. he bears himself modestly. Only
have intimate friends seen the magnificent

table museum, filled as it is with mementos of
his many tours in tropic and frgd zones: but
it is also treasure house of science, geography,
and natural history, for it contains a collection
invaluable to the student, compiled and ar
ranged as it is by one who is an adept curator.

tune to exploration. While the adventurous
side of it appeals to him as Savoyard, he does
not defy the Arctic seas snow capped sum-

expeditions has added largely to the fund OF IN

The tax upon his fortune may be better ap-
preciated by again referring to the African ex-
ploration The expedition included two hum
dred and fifty native guides and porters. in ad.

him and his friends The expense of the Arctic
voyage was greater than has ever been incurred
by any similar party Fortunately, he is one
of the wealthiest of the Italian nobility.
