RING OF THE FISHERMAN.

Used by the Popes to Seal Documents
of the Holy See.
The ring of the fisherman used by
the pope exclusively to seal documents
of the holy see shows an engraved
figure of St Peter, the first bishop of
Rome, standing in boat and flinging
with two hands Il net into the sea.
In 1909, when the French occupied
the city of Rome, Plus VII, then pope,
was ordered by General Radet to sur
render the fisherman's ring. The pom
tiff refused. He feared that by means
of the sanction of the ring the French
government would be enabled to issue
dangerous documents.
When finally forced to surrender it
the pope altered the engraving or
stamp with the view of making it use
less to his enemies. This seal thus
defaced was forwarded to Paris by
the French general in command at
Rome. Plus VII. in the absence of the
fisherman's ring, made use of an iron
seal engraved with the figures of SITS.
Peter and Paul and inscribed with the
words, PRO Annulo Piscatoris" lin lieu
of the fisherman's ring.
The fisherman's ring was kept in
Paris until Napoleon l. was over
thrown, when it was returned to the
sovereign pontiff. The ring is used only
TO seal briefs. The bulls. more impor-
tant documents, are stamped with the
leaden seal of the ancient parchments.

Why the Earth Cannot Explode.

The theory is frequently advanced
that planets and even suns sometimes
explode and that the earth may some
day blow up like a bombshell. No
celestial body the size of the earth
could possibly explode. If the entire
molten interior of our globe could be
replaced with nitroglycerin and deto-
mated the explosion would not lift the
earth's crust. In other words, If we
assume that the crust Of the earth is
from fifty to hundred miles in thick
ness 1t would require something much
more powerful than even nitroglycerin
to burst the she'll It is necessary only
to do little figuring to see that the
pressure Of the earth's crust at depth
of from fifty to a hundred miles far
exceeds the pressure exerted by the
most powerful high explOsive.-Hudson

and King Peter the Reward.

The Tradesman Got the Grand Cross
and King Peter the Reward.
An excellent story is going the
rounds about King Peter Of Servia.
A French tradesman who had amass-
ed great fortune wanted very badly
to get hold of some decoration to wear
on his breast, and after some financial
maneuvering he managed to secure
Servian cross of something or other.
He was immensely proud of this cross.
and instead of having it set with the
usual inferior quality of brilliants he
had it set with diamonds of the first
water
Soon afterward he visited Servia.
and. as in duty bound. he called on
King Peter to thank him for the order.
He wore, of course. his magnificent
cross, and King Peter, who knows
something about jewels, Immediately
fixed his eyes on it. He himself was
wearing the grand cross of the order
set with rather poor brilliants. and
the moment his visitor came within
reach he exclaimed: But what is
this? | gave orders that you should
have the grand cross. The cross alone
is not worthy Of you. Here. you shall
wear mine."
Before the other could protest Peter
had changed the cross for the grand
cross, substituting the inferior jewels
for the splendid diamonds on the
breast Of the other! AS a matter of
fact, of course, he had never heard of
bis visitor before. the decoration hav-
ing been arranged by his Minister'S

SQUARE OF THE CIRCLE.

ror All ordinary Mechanical Work the
Formula 3.1416 Is Used.
The ratio of the length of the cir
conference of circle to its diameter
sought during many thousands of
years, has never been discovered. Ii
has been known for decades of centu.
ries, away back to the Aryans and to
the Egyptians-or rather to the nom
Egyptian pyramid of Suphis buildeps-
that the circumference of a circle is
three and fraction times longer than
its diameter.
This fraction has been sought by
computers in every great nation from
prehistoric times. Within modern
times it has been computed with accu.
racy and by enormous labor in Germa-
ny out to 635 decimal places with no
end-there is always remainder to
be reckoned s
But all of this work was useless, be-
cause high mathematics has shown
that the string of figures will never
come to an end in any finite number Of
figures. And as these men cannot
think Of infinity they made the sym

The chief reason given by the A. \. L.
for cancelling the alliance was that the
c. a. \. l.. had lost its power and that
the registrations of athletes had dropped
from the thousands t. the paltry num-
Der OF 1872. This was explained by the

letes had been forced to take out cards
