HE treasure chest of great cathedral rlvuls that of a royal treasury In the magnlfl cence of the jewels It In closes. These are set not In crowns or necklaces, but In altar utensils and In symtols, or sewed upon the priceless vestments which are used only upon speclul occuxluus. Like the crown Jewels of a nation, these often have a sentimental value as great as their monetary worth, and they must be carefully guarded. The treasures of St. Patrick's, the largest Roman Catholic cathedral In New York city, are kept In a crypt back of and beneath the altar. Few people know of the location of this chamber. Prom a room behind the altur a broad marble stairway with velvet handrails leads downward. A long room used for the cleansing of altar vessels and donning of vest ments Is the first stage of the descent From a door In one end of this room a narrow Sight of stone steps leads Into the silent concrete regions below. They twist and turn steeply Into a narrow, low celled passageway, which leads to the heavy door of the sub crypt The sacristan opens this door and turns on a bluze of electric light which Is reflected from every part of the room. The shelves about the lour sides are laden with bright colored vestments. Some-of these axe of old THE "DICK TO DICK" LETTER. Young Lady Who Disoovarad It Hat 6ti rrad Horneta' Nast.

A single garment Is valued at $0,000. In the corner, locked and bolted. Is the door of the safe, and thither the sacristan leads the way. When the door Is finally opened the whole In terlor seems a mass of Jewels and gold. But there Is a second door of steel bars, and not until this Is unlocked are the contents, placed at a safe distance be hind It, to te ltispected. Among the altar furnishings are a chalice, the gift of Tope Leo XIII., a cup of solid gold. There Is a clborlum, a coffer or case which holds the host. also a gift of the pope. In a long leath er box Is an archbishop's episcopal cross of gold and silver which with Its pedestal stands eight feet high. But by for the most valuable article Is the ostensorlum or monstrance, a bos In which the host Is exposed to re ceive the veneration of the faithful. In order that this might have a senti mental as well as a real value a for mer director of the Sacred Heart called upon the congregation to put Into the contribution box some article of Jew elry which they valued for its associa tions. Lead Pancila 8praad Diphtharla. A recent outbreak of diphtheria at Bacup, a small town in Lancashire, England, has been attributed by the medical authorities to the very bad habit the school children there have of moisten ing their lead pencils with the tongue to make them write more smoothly and legibly. The pen cil in themselves were found to be harmless when clean and new. Hut In many of the rural English school districts pencils, pens, copybooks and slates are distributed to the children during lessons and col lected again when school Is dismissed for the day. Consequently no child Is sure of getting the same pencil twice In two days. Johnny Brown gets a nice new pen cil today and moistens It frequently In his mouth during the writing lesson iecauso he finds It writes easier when jo lead Is wet Tomorrow Mary Ilodgklns gets that same pencil. She, too, moistens the lead In her mouth to mako It write better. And that Is ex actly how tho dread disease was com municated from one child to another after It once got a start In the Vnlted States thi? danger of putting pencil In tho mouth baa long been recognized, and In all the schools every precaution is tnken to prevent the Interchnngn of pencils as well as the moistening of them with the Hps.

Abbott, who unearthed the now famous MLlck to Dick" letter, is something of a mystery, Inasmuch as nobody knows much about her. At first It was said she was tho wife of Willis J. Abbott the well known Washington correspondent, but this is now denied, and it is asserted that she Is related to Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook. The "Dick to Dick" letter, alleged copies of which have been published In many newspapers, was from Rich ard S. Ryan, representing a financial syndicate, to Itlchnrd A. Balllnger, for mer secretary of the Interior. Walter Fisher, Balllnger's successor, denies that any such letter is on tho files. The letter concerned the control of land along Controller bay, Alaska, and proposed to call In Charles P. Taft to Influence his brother, the president Miss Abbott claims to have gained this information as a newspaper wo man and magazine writer, in which capacity she had access to the files. TWO DEEP SEA TREASURES. Head Ploked Up In Ocaan Near Caps Town Elephant Seal. The remarkable, head shown in one of the accompanying photographs wos picked up in 'the ocean near Cape Town and is now in the New York aquarium. It has not been manipu lated in any way. The ragged outline at the back of the head shows where it was severed from the body. The TUB "OLD MAN OF THE BRA." lines on the lower part of the face are natural and are the outlines of the maxlllnry and other bones of the Jaws. The nose has shrunk souiewhut In dry ing. In life the reseuiblauce to the human face was even more striking. The conical front teeth are shown in tho photograph; the lateral teeth are very strong and evidently for the pup- pose of crushing shells. There are two rows In the lower Jaw. The head is a puzzle to fish experts. The New York aquarium also has on exhibition a small herd of elephant seals, which nre rarely seen In captiv ity.

The latest social sensation stirring New York and London has a touch of mystery. It concerns Miss Emllle Orlgsby, who was the protege of the late Charles T. Yerkes, and to whom that gentleman of transportation tube and high finance left 11,000,000 and a beautiful mansion in Park avenoe. New York. The stories have it that Miss Orlgs by now frequents Buckingham palace, that she is a chum of Princess Mary and a friend of Queen Mary, that aha bad a box at the coronation and that MISS KKIltlB OBIOBBT. ahe has had lords and ladles on her string In London, having, In short, scored distinct social successes. On the other hand, it is said that her name has not been mentioned In a single London newspaper, that ahe la not recognized by any of the elite in the British capital and that If she had any entrance into Buckingham palace It was a back stair entrance. The gossip is that she is the friend of a Frenchwoman who talks that i language with Princess Mary and acta j as French secretary to the queen and , that through this friendship she baa j gained the ear of royalty. Much space ; has been devoted to the case (n the New York newspapers, and the cables have sung with the tale. For years Miss Orlgsby baa been un mercifully snubbed In both New York and London, despite the fact that she Is beautiful, accomplished and rich. Now, if these reports are to be cred ited, she has reached the social heights at a bound, to the unspeakable disgust of the would be climbers who have been at such pains to "cut" her la the past TO FLY FROM SEA TO SEA.

"I intend to attempt A flight from coast to coast." he said, "but It shall be from west to east To start from New York would be to buck a wester ly head wind all the way across. When 1 start It will le by the south ern route. I hope to be able to start In about three weeks, after 1 have fin ished my work at Washington, where I have to test out a government ma chine. "I have been making a study of tho air currents, especially In tho moun tains. To negotiate the Rockies will be the most difficult part of tht flight It will also be a problem to pack gaso line and food across some of the stages. It probably will Ihj uecessary to put an additional gasoline tank on the machine. With the present tani I can fly from I2i to 130 miles."
