A QUESTION of interest to Roman


Catholic fathers and mothers all over the
country has just been brought to sharpiy
defined issue In Massachusetts,. number OF
well-to-do Irish born citizens, of Cambridgeport,
one of them an Alderman, have been sehoihg
their children to the public schools, alleging as
a reason that the instruction given there Is
better than the parochial school affords. Ihe
priest of the parish has forbidden these persons
to approach the sacraments SO long as they per

schools and it is now reported that the Arch-
bishop of Boston fully sustains him. AT latest
advice the recalcitrant parishioners were still
holding out.

ALMOST every day at this season of
the wear focks of wild geese can be seen high
in the air flying southwark. These birds
have about completed a long journey from the
shores, perhaps, OF the North Sea, ana con-
have passed the summer, rearing their young in
safety, undisturbed by man or beast, and going
through their dreaded annual crisis of PIN
feather moulting, which deprives them every
year for three weeks or more OF their power to
rise in the air And this leads us to ponder !
upon the use and service which nature makes |
of these vast areas of land and watery waste |
in the circumpolar regions. 1t is certain that |
without some such nursery the countless |
focks of water fowl that now delight man as |
a hunter and as an epicure would cease TO exist |
within the short span of season or two And |
then what shall we say of the action of this i'm
mense expanse of frosty earth and chill water |
upon the atmosphere of the globe? 1t comes |

rugged mountains of the far north may be in |
deed unfit for the settlement of civilized hu-
manity, but they are indirectly perhaps ne
cessary to the life and health of these settle
ments in more favored lands to the southwark.

THE sudden and complete destruc-
ton of large building in Kansas City with
the loss of several lives, is believed to afford
another instance of dust explosion. No other
explanation appears tenable, judging from the
particulars of the disaster as furnished by the
press. There was no boiler explosion, and had
there been, the disaster would have presented
different characteristics from those which actu-
ally marked it. Four brick three-story build
ings suddenly collapsed with a loud report, and
were Immediately enyeloped in flames NO
boiler explosion could have thrown down all
these buildings at once and set them all on fire
in an instant The belief is that the buildings,
which were occupied by an extensive cracker
and candy works, had become filled with flour
dust: that this dust became ignited in some
manner not known, and which probably will
never be satisfactorily explained; and that the
dust-charged air Of all the buildings took
fire simultaneously, leveled the walls by the
explosion, and then set everything combustibie
i'm flames When the disastrous explosion and
destruction of the Minnesota mills occurred, the
theory of dust ignition and explosion was first
broached. and was received with incredulity.
There happened to be other possible way Of
accounting for the disaster, and those concerned
were induced to make thorough investigation
into the possibility Of such ignition and explo-
sion Before the question had been completely
settled another explosion without apparent
cause took place in the East, and the investiga-
ton into this case furnished additional evidence
in support of the dust explosion theory. The
destruction of starch factory left no doubt
remaining, and now it is an established fact
that air charged with fine -four dust is highly
infiammable; that il may even take fire from
the electricity generated by the belts of the
machinery; and that the resulting explosion is
of tcrridcally destructive force. Whilst this
discovery explains many disastrous explosions
and fires that had previously been mysterious,
it warns all those who are engaged in the man-
ufacturc or manipulation of -four, of hitherto
unsuspected perils in their business.
