gtiry who would put thin crown on tin*
Job again should not materialize ac
cording to schedule, that the people
would ?*ver permit this crown to go
out of possession of the state, as din
ing the course of centuries a veritable
legal and sentimental Idolatry, un
?M|u111? <I In any other country, has de
veloped In Hungary for the crown of
St. StOphOU.
With the sole exception of Hie
tailed Ir<ni crown of I.ombardy. this
itu'iigurUiii crown Is by far the oldest
of all existing regalia In Europe. I/eg
end truces back Its origin to about
the year f0<>0. It Is certain that It ex
isted In ihe first v?*ar of the thir
teenth century, and a section of It
Im probably much older *?luin that.
According to the Hungarian concep
tion, an uncrowned king was no king
at all; his decrees had no legal force
and fk'.slstance to them was constitu
tional. And, In fact, during the last
rtOO years there was only one ruler
who defied the ancient Magyar tradi
tions centering aro.und the crown of
St. Stephen?Joseph II, the enlight
ened ln.it arbitrary son of Maria
Theresa.
The career of the crown of St. Ste
phen has heen distinguished by more
romance than any other crown ifi l'#U
rope.
Ah the story goes. In the year 1000
Tope Sylvester II finished the good
sized task of converting the fierce
"Magyar hijrsemen to Christianity.
The crown. It I* said, was not orlg
Inally Intended for Stephen, but was
made on. the pope's order for the
l'ollsh prince Ilolesvnr, and his holi
ness was Just ahnnt dispatching It to
him by courier, when one night an
angel appeared to the pope In a dream
and enjoined him to give the crown to
Stephen. Awakening, the holy father
gavtt tin* crown to the Abbot As/trik
with the words:
"Tell the duke of the Hungarians
that while I am merely a successor of
the apostles, he Is a real apostle him
self.
Thereupon As/.trlk delivered die
crown to Stephen, who soon afterward
was crowned llrst k'ng of Hungary at
Alba, Itegia. Kver after the rulers of
Hungary bore the title "Apostolic
King," Just as the epithet "Most Chris
tian" was bestowed hy the popes on
the kings of France and the attribute
"Most Catholic" on the kings of Spain.
After the death of Stephen, the
crown was used at the successive cor
onation of 'JO kings of the .\spad
dynasty, and altogether if has heen
employed at the coronation of.cokings |

11flea a Creative Genius.
I.ulgi llllca, (In- famous poet and li
brettist who recently died at his villa,
Onstel Aquutto, at Milan, created the
plots for more operas than any other
writer for the last quarter century ill
Italy. His most famous operas were
written in collaboration with Oulseppe
(JIhcosh, and are "Rohenie," "Fedora,"
"Million" and "Adrhltia." Ho wrote
"IrU" and "Maschere" with collabora
tion, and has at least forty less famous
operas to his credit. -Many composers
drew upon him for plot mid lines, says
the i>etrolt News.
Although be was fifty-eight years
old when Italy entered tbe world >var?
llllca volunteered for service and was
with the artillery for one ye^r. He
suffered a? fall from which be did not
fully recover, sod was forced to give
up mlllTHry duty.
His latest important opera score
was that of "Isabeau," for which Mas
eagnl supplied the music. The opera ?
was received with indifference, which
discouraged 11 Ilea. There was consid
erable discussion about alterations
made to the libretto by the composer
and director, and llllca said the pro
duction gave an entirely wrong Inter
pret at ion of bis work.

Better Postage Stamps. ^
Whether or not ?me Is Interested Id
postage stamps, except us a very tem
porary possession, a lick and a prom
ise, one might say, that the post of- -
flee will deliver the letter, It is pleas
ant to know, on tbe word of a writer
on philately, that the new stamps that
come after the war are much finer
artistically than those which formerly
circulated. The subject offers Itself
to an essayist; and bis study would
perhaps show a steady Improvement
during the last few decades In the ar
tistic qunlfty of many everyday things,
coins, banknotes and advertisements,
for example, that prepared the wny
for the artistry ? ?f tbe posters that
played so large a part In the war,
and now expresses itself In the design '
of the new postage stamps. Artists
of distinction, in fact, have been called
upon to design many of tbe new
stamps, as during tlie war they de
signed many of tin* posters.?-Christian

Made Study of Ocean Current*.
Admiral IMIIsbury, who bus Just died
at tbe aged <>f seventy-three, never
shirked a fight, yet In the' develop
ment of his career he came to b?
known more as a scientist than as a
fighter. He had made a more careful !
study of the Gulf stream and of ocean
currents generally than any other na
val officer; and In this field of research I
be had few rivals. Among those rival*
was the prince of Monaco, who has
also made a specialty of currents. Ad
miral I'illsbury's monographs contrib
ute very largely to the world's stock of i
Information. The ultimate destination
of drifting mines gave particular J
value to this phase of oceanography,
after tbe armistice.
