ENGLAND LOOKS
TO VISIT BY
POPE
By j. G. OEsTREICHER

LONDON. March 10 u.N.Sl--A
strong possibility that the Pope may
soon pay his first visit to London
Is being discussed In Catholic circles
here today.
It Is understood that, since the
signing Of the treaty between the
Italian state and the Roman Cath
Ole Church. the pope Is anxious 70
pay a number Of official visits out
side OF the papal precincts. where
he and his predecessors have beer
virtual prisoners for so years, and
that England Is to be one Of the
places first visited.
The reports have penetrated 10
the headquarters Of Cardinal Bourne
in Westminster Cathedral, but no
official confirmation has yet been
received.
at seems quite probable, the
cardinals secretary told Interna'
tional News Service, "that His
Holiness may shortly make . mum.
Der Of visits, now that the ltalo'
Vatican concordat has been signed.
In this casa, It seems possible that
he would 60 to England. but we
have received no official intimation
to that respect"
In spite Of the fact that the re.
ports are somewhat nebulous. the
cardinals household Is more or. less
perplexed as to where to accomnno-
date the Pope should he come here.
Catholics in England are in q
small minority. there being only
2.066, 900 Of this faith in the entire
country. ana the residence OF Car
dinal Bourne itself is ili-suited to
accommodate such distinguished
ana important guest.
In the past. visiting high clergy
Of the Catholic church have been
''put up" at Nazareth House. 4 con-
vent on the outskirts of London.
but II Is hardly sufficient in size
or comfort to care for the Pope and
his encourage.

The natural bt auty Of the DistI 1t
OF Columbia must be developed in
the immediate future or 1t will be
destroyed, was the declaration made
last night by Representative Louis
C. Cramton OF Michigan. He spoke
at the Virginia Night" Of the
washin gton Board of Trade at the
willard Hotel.
Despite the fact that Congress
has appropriated more than $116,'
O0O, 900 for the development and
Improvement Ur the National Cap
ital, the Lake States representative
declared, not cent of the money
has been used to preserve the nat.
ural beauties OF the District.
Cramton said the Capital OF the
future would include nearby Mary
land and Virginia. He asked that
proper planning be made now to
prevent any stip.up in the preserva-
ton of the beauties of the two
counties that touch the District.
Prominent yirginians who at
tended the meeting spoke prior to
CramtOn. They endeavored to put
across their counties and towns to
the members OF the board who are
District business men.

TESTS OF MINE GAS
ARE MADE UPON MICE

Lovers Of birds and men will doubt
less be pleased to learn that an animal
whose response to carbon monoxide is
more rapid than is that of the canary
has been found. In the past mine
workers and others exposed to the dam
gers of poisonous gases have carried
the danger of these gases by their own
death. This value to men depended
upon the greater demand for oxygen in
the case of the bird. as compared with
man. 1t resulted in the bird being first
affected.
The demand for oxygen is also gov
erned bS the degree of activity, which
again made the canary valuable. The
demand for oxygen in the case Of mice
is great, but they tend to become in
active when in the presence of gas.
Thus, their oxygen requirement will be
temporarily cut down, and they will
outliye the human worker under the
same atmospheric conditions. 1t Is
also desirable to have as vide margin
of safety as possible because of the
variation among individuals in response
to the gas.
Recently the Bureau of Mines expert
mented with Japanes waltzing mice,
which constantly run in circles or
whirl on one foot. These have been
found more sensitive to gas than birds.
This find may relieve canaries of very
unpleasant job, and at the same time
save the lives of many men. AS for
the waltzing mice, we have few tears to
shed for them.

COPPER SAW is RELIC
OF 5000 B. C. INDUSTRY
Field Museum Has Evidence of
Hardening of Metal by Process
Not Known Today.

About 5000 B. C. man knew how to
harden copper. A recent item from the
Field Museum of Chicago announces
the acquisition of copper saw of that
period, similar to the carpenters saw
OF today. But we do not have carpen-
ter's saws of copper at present. Copper
would be much too soft to be of any
service as saw. This has led many to
the belief that hardening copper is a
lost art, and many inventors are still
hard at work trying to regain the
secret. But the reason that we do not
use copper saws is that steel is better.
We have known how to harden cop
per for some years. An inventor named
Dawson many years ago made copper
alloy having about 18 per cent tin and
one-half of per cent nickel. This was
sufficiently hard to hold an edge, and
it is said that the inventor shaved
himself with a copper razor In 1905
Erwin A. Sperry made an alloy of cop
per and silicon which was likewise
hard. A recent report from the En-
gtneering Foundation describes two
hardened coppers, or hard copper al
loys, which have been given the names
tempaloy and everdur. Both are alloys
of copper with silicon and other metals
and have the physical properties of
steel. In addition, they are practically
free from all forms of corrosion. It is
difficult matter to point to anything
which the ancients made that we can
not duplicate at will.

hind. Once prosperous ranchers are
reduced to poverty and the problem to-
day is how to get rid of the birds which
once represented great wealth.
The year 1913 represented the be-
ginning of the decline. That was the
last year of prosperity for the ostrich
grower. Birds of pedigree were worth
from $4,000 to $1,000 and the land
suited for their cultivation was worth
81 900 an acre. There is now only a
small demand for the skins of the birds
for leather and the land is largely un-
used. The Feathermarket Hall, at Fort
Elizabeth, has been given over to vari-
Gus other purposes. The small hat
adopted by Dame Fashion has ruined
this once great industry.

BECK APPOINTED
"SIGNING OFFICER"
Secretary Stimson Fills Post Pre-
viously Confined to Undersec-
retary and staff.

William H Beck of Washington,
assistant to the Secretary of State, has
been appointed by Secretary Stimson
as signing officer" a post that had
been confined previously to the under
secretary and four assistant secretaries.
Beck, whose previous duties included
mainly the dealing with callers upon
the Secretary and the arrangement of
his work and files, under the new
orders is authorized to dispose of a
large part of the routine matter which
had demanded the Secretary's personal
attention.
Under these orders Beck will deal
with requests upon Mr.. Stimson for
attendance at public, semi-public and
functions of a diplomatic and inter-
national character: letters and mes
Sages for functions at which the Sec
retary cannot be present and COM
munications demanding a reply directly
from the office of the Secretary.
Beck has served in the post OF
assistant to the Secretary under more
Secretaries of State than any other
incumbent.
