TOMB.S OK SPANISH nOYALTY. Most (ior(|eons Rurinl Vaults â€" Marble l^fliyies of Children. The aicuiial in which for nearly three Ct'iiliiries the King.s and Queens of Spain have been biirii'd is .said lo be the moit gcrgcoiis burial vault in the world, says 1,< iidoii Til-nits. It is an octagonal chamber, thirty-six feel across, with ils walls, save where Ihc coinns stand, entirely overlaid with precious marbles. The slairca.sc which leads to It Is of marble with jasper walls. The general effect Is unspeakably splen- did In the midst of this magnificence a;e Ihe massive black marble caskets let into the walls, containing the bodies themselves. Thi^y are all exactly alike, inscribed simply with the names of the diflcrent kings and queens. There is ro<iin for just si.x more nionarclis and llieir con.sorls. Of another character altogether is the vault devoted to .'^pain's royal childrenâ€" prin'-cs and princes.ses. Hero white mar- ble rules, and very charming arc some of Ihc elligies over llie tombs. Tho local nnrne for Ihe vault is "the place of the little angels," and though many of Ihc princes who lie hero were not at all an- gelic In their lives llie impression loft by the while marble wings of the slalucs !3 one of spotless purity.

Canadian Gas Power & Laonche, Limited, Toronto ^ POLICE METHODS IN >VAnSAW. Arrested All (he IXIen of a Cerluin Name and Imprisoned Thcni. Sherlock Holmes would not find much to praise In the methods employed by th( Warsaw police when trying to trace criminols. An instance of their brilliance is now making all those not inimedialely concerned tlierein laugh. Some lime ogo .Mr Hautke, a manufacturer, was shot \rlule leaving his works, and Ihe mur- derers could not be found, writes a War- saw correspondent of the Pall Mali Ga- zelle. Tho other day rumors ran through the town thai one of the criminals was named Maliciki. 'I'be police heard this rumor, obtained the addresses of all moles in Warsaw bearing this name from Iht municipal address bureau, and ar- rested them without delay. Then they sent for the murdered man's relatives, confronted them with some liundrcd Malickis in turn, and asked, "l.s this tho man who murdered Mr. Hautke?" As none of Mr. Hautke's relatives was with him at tho time of the murder, Iheir afiswers were, wilhoul exception, "1 can- not say," and they were finally dis- missed. But the Malickis were not so fortunate, and ore still under arrest pending fur- ther inquiries. Some of them begged tho relatives to say they were iniplicaled in the murder, so Ihal they could ot least be let out on bail. As il is, though ttiey declare Ihcy know nothing of the crime, tliey aro packed in cells like herrings in a barrel, and are likely to remain there ti ! the real culprits appear. The incident sounds more like one of Gogol's satires on Russian bureaucratic methods than of plain facts. All Ihe Malickis vow they will employ their first hours of liberty in tracing and lynching those who floated the story of their im- plication in the murder. AVIIEIIF BIRDS DBINK ^VINK.
