A hippopotamus hunt pictured many

pens when a brown man tries to ride
an elephant bareback in deep water.
New nature studies revealed the
growth of plants from root to foliage,
the unfolding Of each leaf and blossom
eliciting applause. Fresh marine views
and several comic subjects closed the
excellent program wh;ch Mr.. Howe re-
served for the Anal number OF his pres

If Pins Dies.

Cardinal Gibbons may be brought for
ward as a candidate for the papacy in

In the event of the death of Plus X, while
