Need for a C. T. Society.


For whole week the notorious Cana
dian ex-priest Chiniquy was able to paint
the town Of Minneapolis red" with anti
Catholic filth and falsehood Could any
thing demonstrate more clearly the need
of thoroughly organized Catholic Truth
Society IN this city for the dissemination
and defense of Catholic truth? How
much better it would be, for instance, if +.
instead of idle threats to boycott promin-
eat business men who innocently or ig '
norantly allowed anti Catholic plscards ,
to be displayed in their windows (Which
would only be shutting the stable door
after the horse had escapedl, Catholics
themselves would unite for the defense
of their faith. If they do not care enough
about it to do so themselves, how can
they expect nom Catholics to protect
them from SANDER and calumny? If in
stead of 100 members the @. Z. s. had
1000 or 5000 members what a powerful
element for good it might be in Mime
apolis. Suppose committee appointed
for the purpose should wait upon the
daily papers and inf ,rm thom that they
represented an organization 5000 strong,
most of whom were subscribers, and that
If the editor thought proper to report the
shameful calumnies of an anti Catholic
lecturer they would like him to be fair
enough to give the other side of the
question at the same time. Would not
such request be readily granted?
Thus by publishing short timely ar
ticles in the secular press Oh the funda-
mental doctrines of Catholicity," AS pro-
vided by the constitution Of the c. z. S.,
the publac would be- sufficiently instr ucted
to detect the falseness of anti Catholic
calumniee By ''the prompt and system
attic correction Of mlsstatements, ISLANDERS
and libels against Catholic truth" the
mischief done by such lecturers would
be grsatly lessened. BY publishing ''rs-
liable and edltying Catholic news a
powerful antidote TO the poison might be
administered. How striking, for inet-
ance, and how edifying, the contrast be-
tween the vapid mouthings OF the fallen
Father Chiaiquy aud the crushing logic
of the faithful Father Lambert defending
Christianity both in the same newspa~ I.
per. Anti Catholic lectures always af-
ford all excellent opportunity for the dis
senination of Catholic truth, because
public attention is attracted to the sub
ject and there is general enquiring For
information. Probably there is not 3
Catholic in Minneapolis who has not
been questioned during the past week in
regard to some article Of his faith by g
mont Cath Ollie friend. How easy it would
be on such occasions to hand or mail to
the honest enquirer al appropriate PAIN
phlet, tract, or leahet published for that
very purpose by the Catholic Truth So
ciety. We ought to have at least 1000
members Of this society in Minneapolis.
Let all those who agree with me send
their name and address, with the paltry
sum OF 81. 20 per year, to MIR. c. Il. Lar
penteur, 220l Hennepin avenue.

Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water possesses property
which causes 1t to resist the passage OF
bodies either from above or below. This
is true not only of soapy water. but of
the clearest and purest water as well. A
sheet of fine gauze tends to float, because
its weight being widely distributed each
of the numerous separate wires is re-
sisted by the surface film SO that the
water cannot readily pass through the
meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants, whose leaves float on the water,
have very simple continuance to keep
the upper surfaces of the leaves dry.
This consists of great number of mi
mute hairs covering the tops of the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats set
afoat on the water are kept from sink
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs have
their points all upward, and they are
glued together SO closely that, while
there is open space all around the point
of each egg, yet the width of these
spaces is so slight that water cannot
readily pass through. You may again
and again upset such an egg raft, but il
will right itself every time and the
upper surface will remain dry.-Youth'E
Companion.

One must be careful about using the
English language in this day of literal
meaning, when the veriest neophyte Of
society writer dare not use the phrases,
"The bride entered the church on the
arm of her father" or "His eyes fol.
lowed her Ground the ROOM" because
some humorist has illustrated them real
istically. ... -..... .....
This was recalled to my mind yester.
day when entered Woodward avenue
book store, where grave gentleman pre-
sides, and asked him if he had a ''pretty
child's book"
"Blond or brunetteI" he inquired.
"Oh-hr l stammered. "Why do You
ask that" .-.
81 suppose you want the book to har-
monte, or you would not have told me
the child was pretty"
l saw wherein l had erred, but had
my revenge, for the first thing read in
the book he handed me was this phrase,
ELLEN burst into tears
Here" l said, ~ don't want my her
oine in pieces-please give me whole
one" and / called his attention to the
remarkable physiological fact.-Detroit

The Hindooe distinguish diamonds &C.
cording to their color. The white rank
first and are called Brahmins, the yell
low are known as Kshatris, the duslKy
as Vaiahyas and the fawed stones as
Sudras. The diamond dealers are chiefly
Marwarees-a race who are the chief
bankers and money lenders In India.
These men are perfectly acquainted
with the phosphorescent and electric
qualities OF the diamond, and they are
also aware of the extreme uniformity OF
Its specific gravity.
A boiling solution of some salt Of zinc
called by the natives "Tutenagum bas-
PAM" which solution has a specific
gravity of 8.5, is used for the weight
test Into Shis solution the stones sub
mitted for examination are thrown
Those that float are rejected as not be
ing diamonds, the Marwarees knowing
that the diamond has specific gravity
of t.52.
The stones that sink are then exam
ined. The larger pieces are rubbed witt
silk handkerchief to excite their cleo
trio properties and held near light sub
stances, as small pieces of tissue paper
Diamonds thus rubbed readily attrac
light substances. The phosphorescen
qualities arc brought out by exposure o.
the stones TO sunlight, and then taking
them into @ dark room, where the dia
monds give Of cleaning light.
Cut stones which have been tested o.
above are then examined by boys es
pecially trained, who sort them accord

very seldom that these youngsters max,
a mistake, so sharp are their eyes in de
tecting flaws and shades of color. Thu
appraisement according to size is finally
made by the senio~s.-Mining and En-
