If ice forms in the Passaic at this
time, when the turbid stream is swollen
far above its normal high water mark,

damage is looked for.

A dam across the Haekensack river,
near Hackensack, is threatened The
pressure is so unusual that it may go
bodily with the tons of water behind it.
The same danger is impending along
many other streams Dams are

nation of ice will multiply the danger
many times.
The damage done by the historic
flood of ten years ago threatens to be
equaled. While the water is not run

rivers as at that time, the cold snap
that is promised by both the local and
the Washington bureaus viii make the
flood fully as dangerous.

TELLS OF VATICAN
Magnificent Structures in Rome
Covered With Vines.
Palace Lies Apart and Distinct From
Rest Of Rome, Not Removed
by Isolation, but Through
Its Atmosphere.

| Rome, Italy.-Columns have been
written regarding the personal ap-
pearance of the pope. his part in the
ceremony of the consistory and the
pomp and splendcr that surrounds the
papal court, yet relatively little is
known o. his intimate personality.
This, In part, may be explained by
reason of the ceremony that sur
rounds the pontiff and by reason OF
the care that has been taken to guard
him from the approach OF iiI-inten-
toned plebeians.
The Vatican itself is a magnificent
bid pile whose spires, roofs and gables
rise high above an encirclIng grove
Of ancient trees that decorate It's gar

covered masonry, the peaceful majes-
~ lent by the hand OF ages and the
atmosphere that seems to surround
The hallowed spot through its long
association with the ecclesiastical his
tory, mako its imposing architecture
the most prominent in Rome.
This feature is all the more accen-
mated after visit to the ancient Ro-
man amphitheater and the great aque-
ducts and mausoleums Of the Roman
smperors. These, in truth, are i'm
posing. but they contrast sharply with

church. The Roman buildings are in

BIDDLE'S UNIQUE METHODS

1t is far cry from prize fighting
to religion. At first blush 1t seems
most sacrilegious to associate the two
subjects. But it has been done sue
cessfully not only in words but in
deeds. and, as results have proven,
it is the basis Of one Of the most re-
markable religious movements this
country has ever seen.
The man back Of this novel idea
for furthering the cause Of Christian
ity is Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, mil
lionaire, Of Philadelphia, Pa, who but
a few years back became famous as
an amateur boxer and an object Of
criticism and source of disgust to the
ultra-exclusive set of the Quaker City
OF which he is member. But withal,
Tony" Biddle proved himself a prac-
tical pugilist-one who loved the man
ly art only for the manliness which It
brought out; one who stood for hon.

gentleman.
