CANIPANILE OF VENICE
is NEARING COMPLETION

Venice.-The Campanile is, after
seven years work, now approaching
completion. The shaft is finished and
only lacks the belfry, the separate
pieces Of which are ready to be set
in place.
The more delicate work of the re-
construction Of the Loggla di San
soyino, after the disaster of 1902, IS
proceeding with celebrity. The debris
left Of 1t when it was shattered by the
fan of the Camapile were all care
fully transported to the Doges' Pal
ace. The gilded terra Gotta group of
the Madonna and Child and st. John
by Sansovino has been restored. Some
1000 fragments were found and they
have been put together with great
patience by Signor Pletro Zci Of the
Archaeological Museum Of Florence
The only parts missing are the head.
shoulders, hips and part of one Of the
arms of the figure of st. John, while
the Virgin is quite complete except
Tor one Of the toes Of her left foot.
Now that the last scaffoldlng in the
Piazza of ST. Mark has been removed
the magnificent square has almost re-
sumed the familiar aspect It had be-
fore The disaster.

PRINCESS LOUISE HAS
BURDEN OF DEBTS

Vienna.-Princes Louise OF Bel
gium, daughter of the late King Leo
pold, has debts aggregating $1,000
900. Her share of her fathers estate
amounts to not more than S12OO,OOO.
Some exact figures are given by the
"Neues Wiener Tageblatt" concerning
the princess debts, which now ann
cunt to $1,000, 900 kronen. The prin-
cipal item Of 7,75O,00O kronen is for
the purchase of estates. Among
others she bought Count Paul Sza-
pary's estate in Southern Hungary for
500. 900. undertaking to pay this sum
and enter into possession Of the place
as soon as she came into her inheri-
tance. Count Szarpary intends, it Is
said, to insist on the carrying out OF
this contract. Another estate In
Lower Austria which the princess has
never seen, was purchased for $lOO,-
600. Bills Of exchange were given for
this sum. In the same manner the
purchase of an estate in Amersee, Ba-
varia. for 100000 was effected, and
a second estate in Hungary has lately
been bought for 100000.

waist portion, above which rises a
shallow yoke of black net, embroid-
cred in iridescent beads and next the
face is the inner yoke of delicate
cream lace. The sleeves are short to
the elbow, finished with black bands,
below which fall longer sleeves of the
cream lace.

colors,
The usual model is very simple; IS
cut in four pieces, two back portions
with a seam in the center, and two
front pieces. A velvet standing collar
or rolling collar may be used and
hood is a welcome addition in motor
ing. A most comfortable cape for
steamer wear could be made of one Of
the new double-faced wool materials
which are woven so closely that no
lining is required. The hood should
be lined with soft, bright silk. Hand
opening under finely stitched flaps are
added and the closing of the front
made by buttons and buttonholes over
and under flap or by florgs and loops
The wide-wale diagonal in fifty-inch
width would make a serviceable cape
for which five yards would be re-
qulred for full length. One-eighth
yard of twenty-inch silk will be re-
qured for the hood.

TAIL OF HALLEY'S COMET
WILL SWEEP OFF LIFE

Boston.-scientlsts Of Boston and
Cambridge appear to be divided in
their opinion as to the effect upon
the life of the earth Of the cyanogen
that. is believed to be present in the
tail of Halley's comet. That cyanogen
bands show prominently in the COM
cts spectra was established at Yorkcs
observatory yesterday according to
messages received here. This fact
was made known 20 Camille Flamma-
rlon, the French scientist, who ven
tured the opinion that gas which is
colorloss. poisonous. and has an al
mondiike odor, may possibly destroy
all life on the earth.
The majority Of local scientists are
not inclined to agree with Flamma-
rion. They believe the gas OF the
comets tail is so rarlfIed that i will
be rcpelled by the Garth
