a Coin In fhe San

A coin dropped into the sea will sink
TO the bottom, however deep It Is. ow-
ing to the fact that the metal is heavier
than the volume OF water IL displaces.
lt Is common but mistaken notion
that the density OF the sea increases
with Its depth and consequent pres.
sure, rs does the density OF the atmos-
phere, which we all know is greatest
ut the earth's surface. The air. how
ever. like all gases. Is elastic and when
under pressure las with its own
weighO shrinks in volume and gains In
density. Water. on the other hand. Is alb
solutely incompressible, and. although
the pressure in the sea increases Mt the
rate OF one pound for every two feet
we descend, the density Of the water re-
mains the same; consequently the pen
ny continues to outweigh the water It
displaces, and the coin sinks until it
finds n solid resting place. The pres
sure Of the water has no influence at
all on the coin, acting as 1t does on all
sides equally.

Yuma RELIGIOUS Rites.

The government will endeavor to
break up some Of the religious ritea
or the Yuma Indians which are re-
garded as detrimental to the civiliza-
ton Of the red men.
One Of the particularly weird rites to
which the government strongly objects
Is that observed at midnight after the
death Of member of the tribe. This
rite is considered most essential by
the Indians, and 1t is believed that IL
Will be abolished only after struggle.
1t consists Of the burning OF the de-
ceaseds hut, his barn and all personal
property. The belief Of the tribe is
that the property so destroyed by FIRE
again takes shape In the happy hunt
ing grounds. to be enjoyed there by the
departed while he awaits the coming
Of loved ones. The Indians believe
also that such fire insures the speedy
progress Of the deceased's attainment
Of peace OF soul.-NationaI Monthly.

of expediency there win be no oleo'

winter it is expected that the commit

port bill reducing the 10 cent tax on
cleo and providing for its sale in orig

Various explanations are given for
the decision to take no action at this
time. One story is that the republican
majority in the committee is 10th to
take any step that will injure Repre-
sentative James Tawney Of Minnesota
in his campaign for reelection. The
passage of bill reducing the oleo tax
would be a blow to Tawney, who is di-
recting the campaign of the dairy in
terests to maintain the tax at 10 cents
a pound on colored oleo.

Final Burial Place of King Edward VII

The Albert Memorial chapel at Wind
sor castle, England, where the body of
the late King Edward VII. of Great
Britain will eventually be buried, was
so named by Queen Victoria as a me-
mortal to the prince consort. 1t was
built by Henry III, who dedicated 1t
to his favorite saint, Edward the Con.
fessor. The building is remarkable for
its beauty and grace, and a great deal
OF Henry Ills work still exists in the
lower section Of the walls, but the
upper part was rebuilt In 1903 by
Henry VII.
Henry VIII. gave the chapel, still I'M
finished, to Cardinal wolsey, and it
was known as "Wolsey's tomb house"
for many years. The great cardinal
engaged the Florentine sculptor Bene-
dettO to construct for him a magnifi-
cent tomb of marble and gilt bronze,
with a recumbent effigy at the top.
The rich bronze work of Wolsey's
tomb was ripped of and melted by
order of the commonwealth in 1912,
the metal being sold. In 1905 the black
marble sarcophagus, shorn of its
bronze ornaments, was moved from
Windsor and placed as a monument
over Admiral Nelson's grave in st.
Paul's cathedral.
MausoIeum For Royalty.
Although "Wolsey's tomb house"
was rooted in and used for holding
mass by James H., the stone vaulting
was not completed until recent times,
when the entire chapel was refitted by
Sir Gilbert Scott, under command of
Queen Victoria. and renamed. Its in
terror walls were then lined with cost
~ marbles and the whole magnificent
" decorated In this chapel are the
tombs of Prince Leopold, the Duke of
Albany and the Duke of Clarence, the
elder brother Of the present king of
Great Britain, while also in the chapel
is cenotaph to the prince consort.

the kings body will be placed tempo
rarily, ranks next to Westminster abb

there. He it was who built the pres
ent chapel in 1873 after razing almost
to the ground the earlier chapel on the
same spot. which had been completed
and filed with stained glass by Ed
ward III. IN 1868.
Edward ~ left directions on his
deathbed that magnificent tomb
should be erected over his body. with
an efigy of himself in silver All that
now remains of this once costly monu-
ment is a part OF the wrought iron
grille which formerly surrounded the
tomb, said to be one OF the most elab-
crate and skillfully wrought pieces Of
ironwork in the world This grille was
afterward removed from the north
aisle to the north side OF the sanctu-
airy.
Fine Example of Architecture.
The next king to follow Edward ".
into the mausoleum in st. Georges
chapel was Henry VIII, who ordered
that his body should be laid beside
that Of Jane Seymour in a wonderful
bronze and marble tomb. That tomb
was never completed, and what exist
ed of its metal work was probably
melted down by the commonwealth,
for no trace of it now remains. In
the same vault which contains the
bodies of Edward ~. Jane Seymour
and Henry VIII. lie the bodies Of Hen
ry VI, Charles l., George III. and his
queen, George ", the queen of Ed
ward ", the Princess Charlotte, VII
liam ~ and his queen, the Duke Of
Kent and other members of the royal
family.
The Chapel of st. George is one OF
the finest examples of perpendicular
architecture in England and is consid-
cred finer in design than the other roy
al chapels, notably Kings college, at
Cambridge, and that OF Henry VII at
Westminster. The nave of st. George
was vaulted about the year 1890, but
the choir groining was not completed
until 1907. The hanging pendants
from the fan vaulting of the choir
mark later development OF style,
which forms a strong contrast with
the severer lines of the earlier nave
vault
