POPE WOULD SEE AMERICA.

ROME, Dec. THE United States
has held the most conspicuous place o.
all the nations represented in the cere-
monies this week connected with the
creation of the new Cardinals. Not
only did Americans Outnumber any
other nationality at the public con
sistory Thursday, when the red hat
was conferred on three o; their fellow
citizens, but after comforting the red
baretta on Wednesday and in several
audiences Pope Plus paid remarkable
tributes to America, lauding her in
stitutions, her generosity, hospitality
to the oppressed Of all nations and,
above all, the freedom accorded relig
ion. as a result of which Catholicism
had made such a great advance.

DIAMONDS 10 SAW STONE.


LONDON, Nov ga new type of
saw set with diamonds and capable of
cutting stone at the high speed of two
inches a minute, and to a maximum
depth of six feet, has just been per.
pected by London firm. A stimulus
to perfect the invention was the belief
that the blocks forming the pyrimids
were cut by saws set with diamonds.
The old method of cutting, which
used steel blades working on a damp
bed of sharp sand or shot, is generally
.disused by the larger contractors. the
rate which it would achieve being only
about six to eight inches per hour.
Up to the present, however, the dia.
mond saw has been used in the form
Of circular plate of steel, about one
eighth of an inch thick, set with sew
enty to 100 diamonds at its edge 1t
is obvious that the depth of the cut
which it was possible to get with this
kind of saw could only be half the dia.
meter of the circle, for the intervening
shaft would interrupt the cutting. The
new type of diamond saw recently per.
fected consists of an endless band OF
belt of finely tempered steel. 1t is
capable of cutting direct through stone
to a depth of six feet
One of these saws is already at worl
at YOevil. in Somerset. The belt of tn
machine is set with POI diamonds
varying in weight from one-half cara
to one carat These diamonds are
fitted in steel sockets round the Lower
rim of the belt by means of eleCtri,
welding. They Just peep out of the
steel edging, so that if the finger Is
passed over it roughness is felt, bu
the ordinary tooth-like aspect Of a saw
! is no longer retained. They are tiX2C
at intervals of two inches, not in 3
direct line, but alternating from rim
to rim OF the edging. The unsuspect
ing would not suppose them to be dia
monds. hardly any sparkle being giveI
out because they are uncut.

NARROWING LUNATIcs.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5.-About
eighteen months ago the Government
acquired the island of Llyoe, of 1000
acres, and placed Professor Kellers,
the well-known psychological expert,
in charge. There were sent to him for
treatment a number of professional
tramps and lunatics from the State
workhouse and asylums.
Professor Kellers has for some time
been a persistent advocate of the out
of-doOr treatment for lunacy. His chief
contention is that the fresh air tones
up the nervous system, while the vari-
ed natural objects are calculated 20
arrest the attention OF the patients
and dissipate the more distressing
symptoms of monomania ofttimes pre-
valent. The authorities, however, pre-.
ferred to effect a compromise, relegat.
ing to the new sanatorium many of the
criminal lunatics hitherto held in prac,
tically solitary durance. A popularity
of the system is that under the com
!prehensive classification adopted by the
authorities men of the more degener
! ate class, both as regards crime and
| vice, are regarded as mentally unfit
and are removed to Llyoe for treat
ment. The method of cure" of con
| firmed laZiness is somewhat Spartan

Of course, New York will give him d
rousing welcome.
Cardinal O'Connell will not be able
to return to Boston for Christmas, but
will see his flock on New Years Day.
Cardinal Falconio will remain in the

Americans here. Satolli was always
called the American Cardinal" a
title Of which he was proud, but it s
thought that Cardinal Falconio will
conduct such matters with more ia.
cility, as he already is an American
citizen and has a thorough knowledge
of the American point of view.
1t was hoped at first, when it was
proposed to have four American Cardi
nails. that either ardinai Farley II
Cardinal O'Connell would he brought
to Rome as a Cardinal of the Curia

place and that the others would dc

the Church in their own dioceses.

LIGHT ON LEITA MYSTERY.

BELFAST. Dec. At has now de-
yeloped that the real consignee of the
cases of rifles which arrived at Lcita,
Scotland, from Germany several weeks
ago and were seized by the customs
officials there is a dramatic company,
which is obliged to leave its ultimate
address uncertain when the rifles We're
ordered.
The rifles, Anticipated Mausers, there
fore were consigned TO Belfast and
the particulars of their destination
were to be given when they reached
Leith. In the meantime, however the
play in which they We're to be used
had been abandoned, and so the prop
ert man did not think it worth while
to invade the Leith warehouse, where
a police guard had been stationed
to await developments. Why the cases
should have been labeled "speltcr,
which is invariably shipped loose, has
not vet been explained.
The threats of the fire-oaters Of VI
ster to resist home rule, if necessary
by force or arms, lent dramatic inter
est to the seizure of the rifles.

When asked their opinion of the
chances of a return to favor of more
ample attire, the dressmakers all re-
piled skeptiCally that several years
might yet pass before the present
fashion underwent and radical change.
French artists, however. seem to
have grown tired of the models now
worn, for a committee of painters and
sculptors has Just been formed for the
purpose of creating totally new styles
for women's dresses, and this without
the help or advice of the usual fash
ionable dressmakers.
To this end a competition under the
name of La Mode par les Artistes has
just been arranged, and will take place
Immediately after Christmas. The art
lists will not have to submit sketches,
but will be invited TO the headquarters

Great interest is taken in the affair
in the artistic and feminine worlds, the
latter being specially curious to see
what the artists of the brush and
chisel will do when faced by the prac-

manikins in a way that must be both
original and tending to the idealizatioR

HOLLANDS TrADs IN
FLOWER BULBS


The cultivation and expectation of
flower bulbs has been carried on in
Holland since 1850, but the trade did
not begin to attain its present enor-
nous proportions until the last TWEEN
ty or thirty years of the nineteenth
century. About four million dollars
worth OF bulbs are now exported an
nually.
The Dutch bulb growers form a gen.
eral federation, which numbers about
three thousand members. The fedora
ton publishes paper twice a week,
organizes sales during the season, sub
mits new varieties to a committee OF
judges and lays all trade disputes be-
fore council specially named foISthe
purpose. The federation has also or
ganized exhibitions and sent Dutch
produce to foreign shows.
