into the air. It is to have a capacity
of 10000 bushels and will be more
than 100 feet high. 1t is to be of hand

fireproof. The largest piece of timber

lighted with electricity to facilitate the
work which must be pushed rapidly as
the contract calls for the elevator to
be ready to receive grain by the first
day of June.

that they, too, are human, and have
contracted the general malady.
According to a dispatch from Rome,
the mutinous Swiss guardsmen at
the Vatican have presented to Car

Of state, a memorial relating their
grievances and The conditions on
which they are disposed to remain in
the service. The conditions are:
1.-The dismissal Of the command
er of the Swiss Guards.
2.-An increase in the Swiss Guards
from 80 to 100.
3.-The commander and all officers
to be chosen from among themselves.
4.--The abolition of the prohibition
against the guards frequent6ng
stores on the right bank Of the Tiber,
and the granting of permission to
frequent wine shops.
5.-A return to the original system
of MILITARY instruction, with the abo-
lition of bayonet drill, target shoot
ing and the climb of roofs to protect
the Vatican from imaginary assaults.
6.-No punishment to be inflicted
in connection with the present agl-

Cardinal Merry del Val afterward
conferred for long time with the
Pope in an endeavor to find a salts

The Swiss Guard at the Vatican has
existed since 1905, when it was form

Because of fears of graver insubor-
