Ancient National Manuscripts of ireland.
THE BOOK OF KELLs, THE BOOK OF BAT.
TIES AND SILVER SHRINE.

From one of our foreign exchanges we
copy the following interesting article
The fret part of the Fac sin,iles of Na-
graphed by Major General Sir Henry
James, r. E. Director of the Ordnance
Survey, is rapidly approaching completion.
and will be shortly issued for sale.
Among the manuscripts selected for this
undertaking are several volumes written
both in Gaelic and Latin, of singular anti
quity and historical value. The first of
them, both in point of age and on account
of the remarkable history attached to it, is
| the volume known as Domhndeh afraid. or
Silcer Shrine. This is @ copy of the Cos
pels-perhaps the oldest in the world-of
the fifth century, and additionally believ-
ed to have been the private book of devo-
been given by him to st. MacCarthainn
when he placed him over the see of Clogher.
1t was once the property of the monastery
of Clones in recent times it was purchas-
ed for $500 of private gentlemen by
Lord Rcssmore, who presented it to the
Royal Irish Academy, where it remains at
present.
Another manuscript to be represented
by ac.eimiles in the forthcoming collec.
ton 10 the famous Book of KelIs, q COPY Of
the Gospels additionally ascribed to st
COLUMBIA, and pronounced by the mos
cOLHp0Veub JUDGES TO De undoubtedly O
that age. It is preserved in the library O
Trinity College, Dublin. The most re
markable features of the Book of Kells ar
its elaborate ornamentation and the quaint
ness Of the grotesque subjects introduce,
into 1t. The gigantic initial letter, whic
is one of the portions selected for photo
graphing, is filled In with an almost incre
dible interlScing of extravagances-ser
pentine figures with human heads rat
sitting on the backs of cats who are hold
ing other rats by the tails human figure
with impossible combinations of their oy
and other creatures limbs strange shape
of birds and fishes geometrical design
and intricate arabesque traceries, all WOW
en- together in the widest dream like way
, and having an effect that charms the ey
and hlls the mind with amusement at tn
fancy that designed and the hand that ex
ecute1 them.
Another manuscript supposed to bav
been written by st. Columbia will also b

OdtAaaA, or "B0ok of Battles,n and Ia
copy Of the PsalmS. For 1900 years tn
book has been preserved as q heirloom b,

The American Volcano and the English Tida
Wave.
IN. Y. Herald. March saI

| in. Y. Herald, March %
The concurrence Of the volcanic disturb
| inundation of the east coast Of England
have raised the question whether the two
phenomena have any connection. Sir
Charles Lyell, the great geologist, has as
serted that the American Coast Of Georgia
and the Carolinas is subject to subsistence !;
and this fact, taken in connection with the
rumblings Of Bald Mountain, suggests an
agitation extending far into the waters of
the Atlantic. The undulation of the ocean
from the great Lisbon earthquake produc-
ed marine wave which crossed the whole
Atlantic three thousand seven hundred and
twenty eight miles, in straight line, and
broke upon the West Indian shores of Bar
bados and Martinique and in 1854 the
Japanese earthquake sent it's wave across
the North Pacific and piled up it's waters
on tho Californian coast. It does not appear
alarming that Bald Mountain should be in
tremor, and yet We can infer nothing from
the apparent hardness of the mountain to
relieve itself from internal pressure. The
subterranean sounds which proceeded the
fiery uprising of the Mexican volcano of
Jorullo, which rose in a single night six
teen hundred and eighty three feet, bad
alarm subsided and tranquility was re-
stored few days before the most tremen-
dous eruption Of modern history took place
| with terrific destruction.
Is 1s, however, more probable that the
great food tide on the English coast was
due to meteorological causes. At this sea-
son the high winter atmospheric pressure
amassed over Northern and Central Eu-
rope and Asia is breaking up, and it rolls
off to the westward in the form of long
continued and high easterly gales on the
English sea front. In 1918 March A. just
such tidal inundatiou occurred in the
Thames and at Hull, Yarmouth anasother
points on the eastern coast, and extended
| to Plymouth, where it washed off many
| enormous stones of the breakwater. So
powerful are the agencies of the sea here
that Aldborough, as it formerly existed,
| lies twenty-four feet under water, almost
every remnant having been enguifed and
the Inhabitants long since forced to retreat
inland and form a new site for their town.
There is an undoubted physical connection
between the Quakfngs and commotions of
the earths crust and the |commotion of
the atmosphere over wide areas Of both sea
and land, but the casual connection is OBJ
scure and mysterious. In the present in
stance it is altogether improbable that the
tide in the Thames can be due to anything
else than the stormy weather and easterly
winds peculiar to the spring equinox. AS
already intimated, we may not have had
the last of the volcanic upheaval in North
Carolina, and it may take many months
for the mountain to finish its labor,
