When He Suppressed the Order of Jesuits.

Pope Clement XIV bears the so- briquet of ''the Protestant Pope" al- though he was by no means a mem Der of the Protestant faith. He earned this title by a bull which he issued in 1773, ordering the suppression of the Order of the Jesuits. This seemed to the devout Catholic a concession to Professionalism, and thus Clement was given his title.
 The Jesuit order was established in 1537 by Ignatius Loyola, and its chief aim was tc establish the power of the pope and to preserve it against the attacks of the ProteStants. It grew to be the most powerful society of the Roman Catholic church, gain ing its influence principally through the excellent schools which its mem- bers founded and maintained. Its potency grew to such an extent that the temporal authorities took alarm and, in 1773, France, Spain, Portugal, Parma, Naples and Austria prevailed upon Pope Clement to issue his bull abOlishing the order. It was re-es- tablished by Pope Plus VII immediate ly after the fall of Napoleon in 1915, and is now in thriving condition in

ORGANIC MATTER IN SANDS
Be Investigated by Bureau of Public Roads.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 Sands unsuitable for concrete on account of the presence of loam or other organic matter are to be inves- tigated by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture and methods of treatment devised to make them safe for use.
 Until recent years it often happened that concrete made of good cement and well-graded and apparently good sand, would disintegrate and become worthless. In such cases the poor quality has been attributed to all the different things which go to make a poor concrete.
 A few years ago laboratory work CTS discovered the effect of organic matter in sand and devised a simple test to determine it's presence in harm full quantities. The bureau now hopes to find methods of treatment so that such sands can be used. Samples of sand from all parts of the country are desired and anyone is invited to send In a sample in which the presence of organic matter is suspected, addressed to the Bureau of Public Roads, Wash ington, D. c.

In an effort to overcome the faults common to the standard types of link-motion valve gears used on To- comotives, an Italian engineer has designed a new gear that, in trials, has shown marked economy of coal and water for the power developed, says an illustrated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. In the new system poppet valves are used to avoid the faults of both tte fiat slide valve and the piston valve. Advan- tages claimed are that 40 strangula- tion of the steam occurs and more ef- fective use of the power of expansion of the steam is possible.

So much had the letter told and yet so littlel Dark had been the hints of some mysterious, intangible thing, great enough in its horror and its far-reaching consequences to cause death for one who had known of 1t and a living panic for him who had perpetrated 1t.

Under the average regulatory law thus far made effec- tive, the greatest service has not been secured from the best roads, nor the safety of the lesser capacity road ways assured The influence of sub grade soils. tire equipment, distribu- ton of load to the wheels, speed, and many other variables is too complex to be written into law.
 The seasonal variation alone in the carrying capacity of the roadbeds, due to moisture conditions, Is one of the most serious of all the causes of road damage. Highway authorities there fore must be given wide discretion in traffic regulation. The bureau urges that as a solution of the problem the state highway officials of each state be given broad powers, so that traffic can be regulated to suit conditions as they exist at any particular time.
