HOW THE CONCLAHE
VOTES FOR A POPE

The next papal conclaye at Rome
has become subject Of pregnant in
terest to the entire Catholic world.
not only from spiritual but also from
political point of view The follow
ing is an outline OF the many peculiar
and ancient details Of the great cere.
mony by which the new head of the
Church is selected.
I'm the first place the occupant Of the
holy see is subjected, at the trying
moment when his soul is about to be
required of him, to formalities that
are deliberately laid down and which
seem very much at variance with the
closing scene of human life In the
presence of the members Of the sacred
college the sacristan bishop admin
listers the viaticum and extreme unc-
ton The grand penitentiary gives
the absoution. The penitential psalms
are then intoned. The expiring pom.
tiff if he have the strength to do so,
gives his benediction TO the assembly,
and the dirge of the mortuary hymns
continues to the end The Camerlingo
of the Vatican, in order to make the
official record of the death, takes up
small silver hammer, with which he
strikes three light blows on the dead
mans head, and calls on him by his
Christian name.
Nine days after the death of the
Pope the conclaye meets to choose
his successor. The gathering takes
its name from the fact that the car.
dlnals are locked up in conclaye ana
shut off from all communication with
the outer world, The next conclave
will be the first to meet in the huge
building constructed several years

must be submitted to Mr. Page be.

gained from books or other sources,
but no quotations should be made
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation.
of the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that igno2nee on the subject Of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condi-
ton as any other one factor 1t is
expected that the competition will
bring about a better understanding OF
the subject of repair and maintenance
in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages Of roads made impossible
| through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents. BAD
roads have prevented many children
from obtaining proper education ana
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mem
toned attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age,
and address of the writer, and the
name and location Of the school which
he or she is attending must be plainly
written at the top of the first page,
The announcement of the competition
has been sent to the superintendent
of schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtained
from the Office of public roads. This
announcement should be plain to ev-
eryone and all children will thus start
on a basis of equality. f8s

that he is about TO elect him, whom,
according to God, he thinks ought to
be elected. He then puts the ticket
on the paten and slips it from thence
into the chalice, which he covers up
again Then he makes anew rev
erence before the altar and returns
to his place.
When all have voted in like manner

and proclaim the result If no cardi-
nal has obtained the required mum
Der of votes-two thirds of the mum
Der Of cardinals present-the result
IS declared void, and the voting pa
pers, collected together, are burned
in brazier with damp straw, the
dense smoke from which issues
through a particular chimney, visible
from outside and proclaims to the
outer world that no election has TAX
en- place.
Heretofore the burning of the bal
lots has closed the session of the day,
and the conclave has adjourned until
the evening Four years ago how
ever, Pope Plus X, introduced an i'm,
portant change in the method of cleo
ting his successor Instead of having
but two ballots each day the new rul-
ing provides for four ballots, two in
the morning and two in the evening.
Thus the conclayes in future are ex-
pected to take just half the time oc-
cupied during the last seven centur-
les.
Proceeding with the election by bal
lot, voting is continued on the lines
indicated until choice is reached.
The result is then announced by the
