 tellectual promise that he was educated tor the Church, 

 Ktudyin.' in Rome, where he became a naturalized 

 citi/en. and entered the Dominican order. He be- 

 came a distinguished professor of theology, combat- 

 ing traditionalism anu ontologism, \va.s consecrated

Zorilla, Joad, Spanish noet, born in Valladolid, Feb. 

 21, 1818 ; died in Madrid^ Jan. 23, 1893. Ho was in- 

 tended by his family for a lawyer, and for two years 

 he tormented himself with the ungrateful study ; 

 then he quarreled with his father, and went to Mad- 

 rid in 1837, starved, and wrote verses, gained some 

 reputation by an elegy on the tragic death of the poet 

 I.arra, and in 1840 won success and fame with his 

 admirable " Cantos del T rovador." In 1844, after 

 producing several heroic poems and legends, he 

 brought out his tragedy of " Don Juan Tenorio," the 

 greatest dramatic success of modern times. Another 

 drama, " El Zabatero y el Re," has also been extreme- 

 ly popular in Spanish-speaking countries. In hia 

 lyric poetry his extravagance of metaphor and senti- 

 ment, which mark him as a genuine Spanish poet of 

 the old line, appeals less to the modern reader than 

 the imagination and romantic passion, equally char- 

 acteristic of the great age of Spanish literature, in 

 his amatory and religious legends and national 

 epics.

Area. There is a discrepancy in the official 

 reports of the area of the State. According to 

 the latest report of the United States Geological 

 Survey, the gross area is 41,060 square miles, of 

 which 40,760 is land surface and 300 water sur- 

 face. The annual report of the United States 

 1 jand Office for 1892 gives the area as 39,972 square 

 miles. The report of the Secretary of State of 

 Ohio gives the surface, including Lake Erie to 

 the boundary line, as 42,500 square miles. The 

 chief topographer of the United States Geological 

 Survey says the exact facts can not be obtained, 

 since the position of the State boundaries on the 

 east, west, and south is not known accurately, 

 but the figures given in the Geological Survey's 

 bulletin were determined wich considerable care
