Of dead pope from the temporary sar. eophagus until three years have elapsed. This was the rule followed for genera tions down to Pope Plus TX, whose body was taken to the permanent tomb at San Lorenzo, outside the walls three years after his death The body of Pope Leo XIII has now lain for nine years in the provisional tomb in St. Peters while the monument in St. John Lat eran is empty.
 The explanation for this state of things is said to be the fear that disorders may arse such as marked the transla- ton of the body of Pope Plus TX from St. Peters to San Lorenzo in 1881. The election once more of Mayor Nathan of Rome, Catholics refraining from voting. does not indicate that there may be such disorders. but it does show that the anti clerical sentiment is no more absent now than fl was nearly % years ago. At that time, as may be recalled by some the openly announced purpose of the an- ti-cIericals who raised the disorder was 10 throw the body of the Pope into the Fiber.
 St John Lateran is two miles from St. Peters, and although tie Italian govern ment has assured the Vatican that it win line the route with troops, Pope Plus X has not yet come 10 the decision to order the translation Recently the Vati can has taken steps to find If the present is a good time. Suggestion has been made, it is known that another sarcopha- gus be prepared, thus breaking the cus- tom of one Pope following another in this identical one. It is argued that con ditions warrant such course, but Plus x has not yet reached d decision on that n'aHer either. Anti-clericalism in Rome is by no means dead, and the latest news is that Vatican authorities have de- oided to allow matters to remain as they are, without risking an anti-eercal out break.

In many ways the president informed
congress, a decrease in the cost OF
government might be assured. There
is need, he said, of reorganization OF
the government departments, consoll-
dation and wedding out OF bureaus
that overlap in their work: scores OF
local Offices throughout the country
should be abolished and hundreds OF
political appointees who do but little
work should be taken off the payroll
and there should be an Improvement
in the personnel of government en-
ployes through the Introduction OF the
civil service in practically every field;
business methods should be employed
by Uncle Sam just as big corporations
use them, a modern system OF ac-
counting and reporting should be
adopted and last of all the economy
, commission should be continued in its
work.
The treasury department, Mr. Taft
showed, looked after the nations in-
ances and the life-saving service The
commission, he said, had recommended
the abolition of the revenue cutter SER
vice, which would mean saving or
$1,0O0,O0O a year.
Oppose Short Tenures Of Office.

crue, from the presidents devoting his

sured only by treating all the distinctly

ment at Washington and in the field
in the same way as inferior officers
have been treated. The time has
come when all these officers should
be placed in the classified service. The
time has also come when those pro-
visions of law which give to those Of
ficers a fixed term of years should be
appealed. So long as fixed term OF
years is provided by law the question
If reappointment of an ohcer. No mat

as appointments to them must be

Abolition OF Local OFFICES.
Perhaps the part of the organization
In which the greatest economy in pub
lie expenditure is possible is to be
found in the numerous local offices OF
the government. In some instances the
establishment and the discontinuance
of these local offices are matters of ad-
ministrative discretion. In other In
stances they are esta bltshed by perma-
nent law In such manner that their
discontinuance is beyond the power Of
the president or that Of any executive
officer. In number of services these
laws were passNd nearly century ago.

GERMANY MAKES STAG BRICK
Account of Strength and Re-
sistance to Heat.

In Germany the granulated Stag
from blast furnaces is being utilized
for the manufacture of brick. The
making of Stag brieSis no new thing.
but heretofore fluid Stag has been
employed for the purpose, and the
brick thus produced has been found
unsuitable for building purposes. be-
cause of its impermeability to air
and steam.
But the Stag bricks made In Ger
many are. it is said, not open to this
objection. On the contrary. while ex-
ceeding the strength of ordinary
bricks and possessing an extraor-
binary resistance to heat, they are
more permeable to air, and conse-
quently are we'll suited for the build
ing of houses. They do not absorb
water as rapidly as ordinary bricks.

Airship Trolley Car.

1t is quite new idea to drive a
suspended trolley car by means of a
propeller like an airshij. The car.
with which experiments are being
made at Burdan, Cal, runs on short
length OF overhead track OF about a
quarter of a mile, and is driven by a
twenty-six horsepower gas engine
The car is made of steel and alumni
mum, and is intended to have light
flexible covering. with celluloid win
dows. 1t is so feet long, and can carry
so passengers. 1t has worked quite
satisfactorily, though the track is too
short to test its speed. The propeller
has two blades, like huge fans, made
of sheet metal nribs of steel tubing.
Another propeller will be fixed in
front. which will double the motive
power and prevent stoppage in case
of breakdown to the rear propeller

SWEDISH RAPID FIRING GUN
Eleven Hundred and Twenty-Five
Shots an Hour Fired From Weap-
on That is Carried in Hand.

Ever since men began to kill each
other. which was very soon after self
ISL interests began to clash, good
share of their leisure time has been
devoted to the elevating of inventing
instruments for that killing.
1t is curious that crudities still APP
pear in the weapons which the
geniuses of centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should
be opened at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfections in our most
cherished killing machine, the rife.
Yet 1t is only few years since the
smoke of black powder was done
away with and comparatively mat
ter of days since Maxim produced
his sound-choking flame-suppressing
device. And now comes news from
Sweden that an inventor there has
found means, at last, to stop the
kick which has made sore shoulders
from the time the first blunderbuss
was discharged, and has constructed
a weapon that win drop men SO fast
that single marksman may dispose
of a regiment in an hour.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from a gun that Is
carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder is high record. II that
gun Is smokeless and kickless, it is
convenient to handle and but little
trouble to operate.
The weapon has already taken rank
with the most approved and will
doubtless become part OF the arma-
ment of many of the worlds armies.

Beavers Attract Attention.

Tourists in the Yellowstone Nation
al Park have shown SO much inter-
est in the beavers that inhabit the
streams that the department of the
interior is considering the advisable
ity of placing colonies of the animals
in some of the other national parks.
The beaver has been one of the
most potent factors in the exploration
of the Rocky Mountain region, be-
cause the early trappers were general
ly searching for beaver when they
first penetrated the Businesses OF the
mountains. The zigzag dams con-
structed by these busy animals are
familiar sights in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. The beaver seems to be
particularly adapted to the Platte, the
Yosemite and Mount Rainier national
parks
