To-Morrow the Interesting Ceremony
VIII BE Ob,evsd.
Candlemas day is next aturday, cele-
bration very importantln all Catholic
communities, as it is on tis day that the
candles to be used on holy occasions
throughout the year are lessed. On this
day each Catholic famil!presents to the
church pure wax candlesand after these
have been blessed a smil proportion of
the lights are retained for use in the
household in case of Illness, death or
threatened calamity. he larger part
are given to the hurch and are
used as altar lights unde the rules OF the
church. Two wax candls are burned at
low mass usually and for on feast days.
At high mass six candles are used unless
the bishop celebrates ue service, when
seven candles are requIed. From to II
are burned at benedlcton oil the blessed
sacrament. so it will b6seen that to sup
ply sufficient for the var there must be
generous donations fran the worshipers.
These candles must e of pure wax. The
idea originated in tie purpose of the
early Christians to bun no material on
the sacred altar that nd been created by
the death of any lIvlnecreature. Nothing
that causes pain or re,ret 10 the source
which affords ii is to De used. This GUS
tom, which was established before coal
oil or cotton seed oil vas known, has pre-
vailed to the present FAY.
The difficulty in ,bta ming pure wax
candles has been n s,rious obstacle to the
celebration in the Vest, but Rev. Father
Allaeys has taken the trouble to send east
and has secured a supply that are war
ranted not to contain spermaceti or para
fine. They are made by the Sisters of
Charity of the Blessed Virgin at Syracuse,
where the bees an kept which store the
f,s,Y aAt tor
alton about these scred symbolic lights.
Candlemas is Uncommon name for the
4 festival of Saturday, but accurately
speaking it is the Feast of the Purifica-
ton of the Blessed Virgin. The conse-
Grafton of the candles is said by author-
ties TO have embleuatical reference TO
the prophecy of Simon, who sail when
he took the child JESUS in his arms that
He should become flight to tighten the
gentiles." The fest is said to have
been instituted under the reign OF
Justinian, and perhaps is the
source of the name given to the month IN
which it occurs which is taken from
februare, meaning publication. The
method of blessing the candles is not
elaborate and is generally observed as il
dies received are placed in receptacles
outside the altar rail, and during the
masses will be blessed by Rev. Father
Allaeys and afte,ward distributed at the
ratio of two for the church and one fol
the giver. 1t is an interesting survival oi
an ancient and IGNORED custom.

THE DIVERS LIGHT.
zen sea Monsters Are Greatly Inter-
-, .-----.---L - E-.nh. annd-

eep sea Monsters Are Greatly Inter
ested, Surprised and Frightened.
The denizens of the deep dwell either in
twilight or darkness, according TO the us
lance beneath the surface at which they
are accustomed TO live, and TO them
light is an object of intense curiosity. Be-
fore the days of the electric light, spear
ing fish by the light of a torch was a raw
orite amusement on many rivers, and Is
even now practiced, rather for fun than
for profit, ON the Columbia and elsewhere.
Since the magical bulb with its feathery
carbons enabled man to light up the bot
tom of the sea as brightly as the land,
much amusement, says the 81. Louis Gtooe-
Democrat, has been obtained by scientihc
men and divers in watching the antics OF
various fish when the light was lowered
close to the bottom of the water. Owing
to the density of the medium. the light is
in more than Egyptian darkness. As the
diver moves to and fro about his ousl-
ness, with his electric light in his hand,
there will suddenly fash out OF the black
ness half a dozen bright colored fishs,
pause an instant. in apparent astonlsh-
ment at the spectacle OF the man in his
helmet and diving dress, then scurry
away in all directions as though panic
stricken.
Then a large, open-eyed, open-mouthed
monster will poke his head in the charmed
circle of light while the remainder of his
body is shrouded in gloom, and look SOL
EMMY on as though surviving to fathom the
mystery. Sometimes, if the man remains
perfectly quiet. the fish will imperceptibly
draw nearer until almost within reach
sometimes. after careful inspection
from a safe distance, he will slowly back
away and disappear. The light thrust
| in his face always seems to cause
the utmost astonishment and dis
may. He can not yell with fright,
because yelling is entirely out
of his line, but he will come very near 1t
by opening his mouth and emitting vol
ume of water from it as he fies in terror
from so unusual and horrlfying a spec
taclc. When the light is let down TO the
bottom at the end of a wire, the fish play
about it with the utmost curiosity. A few
months ago the light by which a govern
ment party was inspecting the bottom OF
the sea of Cape Hatteras was swa flowed
by a mackerel who was drawn to the sur
face with his interior brilliantly illumin-
ated by the still burning lamp.
