Gov. Aaron Saenz of Nuevo Leon and Gen. J. A. Almazan, commander of the military zone of that part of Mexico, have gone to the town and conferred with Fidencio with regard to the situation, It is declared that an epidemic of contagious diseases of various kinds is threatened among the pilgrims. Several hundred lepers are reported to be among the afflicted persons who have sought relief at the hands of Fidencio. Many smallpox cases have been carried into his pres ence. The death roll among the faith ful believers of the healer’s power has been so great that a cemetery was laid out in the town recently, and it is already filled with the dead burdens and suf poor seek his aid. moving them men sole gt cities Branded as Charlatan, Comparatively little seems to be known about Nino Fidencio. He is thirty years old and first made his appearance in the little ranch village about three months ago, Among the employees of the ranch were several who were afflicted with paralysis, blindness, and other chronic disorders. Fidencio called these sufferers to- gether and informed them that he would cure them of their ailments. At this seance he went through the per- formance of boili various kinds of wild herbs in a great cauldron and then, while he chanted in a mysterious way, he threw a pailful of the brew upon the patients, telling them that they were healed. Strange to say, they were apparently cured of their diseases, The news of his apparently miraculous power spread quickly and he became the center of interest of the people for miles around. The public health department of Mexico has pronounced him a charia tan, but the government authoritics hesitate to prohibit him from carry ing on his healing practices for fear that to do so would cause an uprising on the part of the thousands who be lieve in him. To keep order in the town a large force of federal troops | 1s now located there.

Washington,—The channel swim- ming fad has struck a snag—at Gib- raltar, The English channel and the Cat- alina channel, off California, have been traversed, and Manhattan island has been “circamnavigated.” Yet the Strait of Gibraltar, less than a dozen miles across, has defied swimmers, Gibraltar, contrary to popular be- lief, is not Europe's nearest point to Africa, the National Geographic so- ciety points out. It is eight miles north of the nearest crossing. The fortified rock and town occupy a pen- insuta about six miles across the Bay of Algeciras from the neck of land on whese tip nestles the sleepy town of Tarifa. Tunnel Is Proposed. Frequent ferries ply between Gib- raltar and Tangier, diagonally across the strait. They will continue to link the continents until a tunnel is bored under the strait. One has been pro- posed and the estimated cost of such a project is some $60,000,000. Such a tunnel would afford Spanish rail- road connections with the new line from Fez to Tangier, One then might, in sleeping cars, reverse the crossing that Hannjbal made with ele- phants, Travelers who complain of the Eng- lish channel crossing would have even rougher going on the French steam southern [France and An entering surface current ers between Tangier, from the Atlan churns against a strong undercurrent flowing out from Mediter to the discom fiture of ngers and defeat, so far, of swi From Gibraltar, on_clear days, one mers. can see Sierra Bullones, the “Gibral- tar” of the African side.

Hazleton, Pa,—The congregation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which holds the distinction of being the first Tyrolese organization of its kind to be formed in America and which, with intense national pride, styles itself Tyrolese even though the Trentino now is part of Italy, has just dedicat- ed a handsome chapel at its parish cemetery, Made of marble and perched on the slope that commands the burial grounds, the building makes an impressive appearanee when viewed from the Hazleton-Allentown-Phila- delphia State highway. The celebration of All Souls’ day at the cemetery also is a possibility now that this consecrated structure. has been put into use and this arrange- ment is considered quite desirable. The building also will be used for services at times that this stormy sec- tion of the state makes outdoor condi- tions intolerable and grave digging sometimes out of the question. Serv- | ices can be held at the chapel and the | burial can be effected later, | Rev.

Amalcare also is to be found, and the name of the fa- vorite general of Hannibal, Hamilecar, | is recalled.” Alacare is encountered, and Alaric’s name thus is found pre- served in a people's traditicns, after the expiration of many centuries.

Find Ancient Tracks Across Grand Canyon Washington.—New finds of fossil footprints in the rocks of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, but this time on the north rim, 14 miles from the site of previous discoveries on the south rim, are reported by Dr. Charles W. Gilmore of the United States National museum and Glenn F. Sturdevant, government naturalist of Grand Can- yon National park, Slabs beuring the foot imprints of small reptiles or salamanderlike am- phibians were found at two levels, ene in the Coconino and one in the Supai formation. These correspond with two of the three formations on the other side of the canyon in which tracks have been found during the last few years, but further exploration and ex- amination of specimens will have to be carried on before it can be deter- mined whether the levels match up exactly and whether the tracks rep- resent the same kinds of feet. The fossil footprints from the south side of the canyon thus far discov- ered represent 36 species, distributed among 28 genera.
