GREATER SAFEGUARDS
PLACED AROUND POPE.
No One Hereafter Is to Be Received by
Him Informally.

The Vatican authorities realize that
mad the man Desanti, who shot at a
priest In st. Peters recently and who
confessed that he intended to make
an attempt on the pope's life, been a
more intelligent and more determined
man he could easily have reached the
papal apartments. They have conse-
quently decided to increase the sur
Velllance over the apostolic palaces
and take special precautions to guard
the pope. Cardinal Merry del Val, the
papal secretary of state. has had con-
ferences on the subject with the papal
major domo, the prefect of the apos-
tolic palaces and the commanders of
the gendarmes and the Swiss guards.
1t was suggested by these gentlemen
that gendarmes and Swiss guards in
plain clothes should be stationed at the
papal antechambers with orders to al
low no one under any pretext to en-
ter the audience chamber unless able
to show ticket from the major domo.
1t was also suggested that, if possible,
visitors to the Vatican gardens should
be escorted by gendarmes, that tickets
for collective audiences or religious
functions should not be given to any
body not personally acquainted with
the major domo or who is not provid-
ed with a letter of introduction from
a responsible person and that when
the pope takes his daily walk in the
gardens he should be accompanied by
four of the noble guards.
The pope was at first unwilling to
submit to these measures, which, he
said, restricted his personal liberty,
and he considers it unnecessary, as he
felt sufficiently protected by Provi-
dence, but Cardinal Merry del Val con-
vinced him that the anticlericals were
as dangerous as anarchists and per-
suaded the pontif that the precautions
were fully justified. The pope then
unwillingly promised to discontinue
the practice of receiving his fellow
countrymen from Venice informally
as it was pointed out to him that had
Desanti, who is a native of Istria and
consequently speaks the Venetian dia-
lect, pretended that he was a Vene-
tian and asked to see the pontiff he
could easily have obtained access to
the audience chambS even without
applying for a ticket to the major
domo.

STOPPING A NOSEBLEED.
BY This Method It Is Simply a Matter
Of Imagination.

In many experiments carried on dur
ing the last few years it has been as
certained that the mind controls TO
wonderful extent the flow of blood to
any particular part of the body. The
following experiment has been tried
as many as ten times by me and has
not failed once.
When the nose starts TO bleed. i'm
mediately persuade yourself to believe
that you are running with all your
might up the steepest fight of steps
you can think of or up a high hill;
that is, just think of doing either of
these things and doing it fast. Think
at the same time that you are carry
ing a heavy piece of baggage with
both hands and add thoughts of any
other bodily exertion. You will be sur
prised at the quickness with which
your trouble ends.
The explanation is that when we
really start TO run more blood is given
to the arteries supplying the muscles
of the legs than they were receiving
while at rest. This has been proved.
AS the same thoughts in the mind pro-
duce approximately the same bodily
effects. If one merely thinks to run,
but does not run, the blood will go to
the legs anyhow and away from the
head, as desired.
There are many common experiences
of secretions started by thoughts. If
one looks at lemon and thinks of
sucking it his mouth Immediately
waters, and have no doubt that many
people who read this will have their
mouths watering from the simple
reading.-Lawrence Hodges in Chicago

Bendinq of Great Guns.

Among the problems with which ar.
my and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that of the dropping of
the muzzles of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight.
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns of twelve inch caliber and
fifty feet length droop at the muzzle
about four and half minutes of arc,
while built up solid guns of the same
size droop about two and a half min
utes. Differences of temperature in
the body of the gun also cause bend
1ngs. which may either increase the
droop at the muzzle or counteract it,
according as it is the upper or under
part of the gun that has the higher
temperature. In consequence of these
distortions projectiles on leaving gun
have wabbly motion. continuing up
to 800 yards, and probably more.

The Torpedo Fish.

The torpedo fish, known to scientists
as the Torpedo electricus, are the cleo
trio catfish of the Nile. They can give
an electric shock similar to that of an
electric Leyden jar. This is useful to
the fish in stunning prey and in con-
founding their enemies. This shock.
like any other electricity, may be con
Quoted through a metallic substance
and is often unpleasant, though not
dangerous. 1t is conveyed through an
iron spear or knife, so that the person
holding either of these implements
may receive a shock when it comes in
contact with the fish.-St. Nicholas.

When Empress Eugenie Was Young

1 was so lost in admiration of this
wonderful Empress Eugene that in
dancing in the royal quadrille with the
Russian consul 1 forgot to make the
usual steps. Everything was symmet-

graceful figure with the beautifully
modelled shoulders, which were en-
HANGED by the white dress she wore.
profusely embroidered with pearls and
silver. Her exquisite shape attracted
me perhaps even more than did the
classically beautiful head. with the
noble regular features and the auburn
hair, upon which sparkled royal
diadem. Her charming smile bewitch-
ed me as much as did the few friendly
words she addressed to me in her me-
lodious voice.-Princess Won Racowit's

PREHISTORIC ANIMALS.
Rocks In Which They Are Preserved
Denote Their AGE.


Denote Their Age.
Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and
handed down to US through all the ages
had these remains been exposed to the
air.
Fortunately for the scientists of to.
day, when these animals perished the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. 1t
encompassed the carcass of the animal,
held it tight from air and water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until it
became solid rock.
Some of these remains, even those
of the oldest animals, have been dis
covered quite close to the surface. This
Is because the crust of the earth is
like a paper wrapping, folding and
crumbling under the pressure of the
gases and fire Of the interior, with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down, so that the
lower strata of rock are on top.
And it is the particular stratum of
rock that reveals the approximate age
OF the animal. Biologists on examina.
ton, can tell the age of the rock, which
gives them the date at which the ami

BUFFALO TONGUES.
The Blackfoot Indians Used to Turn
Them Into Hairbrushes.

"Walrus whisker toothpicks and buff
falo tongue hairbrushesr' the explorer
cried.
And he displayed a packet of black
toothpicks tied with a strip of red raw
hide and fiat black hairbrush that
seemed nodded out of rubber.
'"These two articles" said the ex-
plorer, "are of strictly native man.
ufacture-native American manufac-
ture. Take the toothpicks first. They

The Indians, whenever they kill wal

them to the Chinese. At every fash
ionable Chinese dinner you will see
the stately mandarins between each
course picking their teeth with these
walrus whisker toothpicks.
"It's the Blackfoot Indians who use
buffalo tongue hairbrushes. A buf-
falo's tongue is rough. The spines on
it make very good hairbrush bristles.
And these bristles in Blackfoot brush
don't come out, for the Blackfoot sim
ply skins his buffalo tongue, cuts it in
hairbrush shape, cures it, and there
you are.
Every Blackfoot in the past had his
buffalo hairbrush. But those days are
