Language Spoken by Christ.

1t is said that there is one, and only
one, work extant written in the Ian
guage which the Saviour commonly
spoke. The authority for this state
ment is DR.. Meyer, of the University OF
Eonn, who has made a special study of
the question. The work is known as
the Jerusalem Ialmud," and it was
written in Tiberias in the third CEN
fury after Christ According to this au-
thority Jesus spoke Galilean dialect
of the Aramaic tongue. The Aramaic
is one of the Semitic family Of Ian
gucgcs, a sister tongue of the Hebrew.
Aramaic was at one period the language
OF business intercourse between Syria
and the countries further east.-Cincin-

Europe Will Probably Side with spain In
Case Of Trouble.

Caso OF Trouble.
London, Dec. 26.-The Times pub
fishes dispatch from Paris saying that
the United States has been confidential
ly informed in the most friendly terms
that the European powers could not re-
main impressive in the event Of the
United States abandoning the attitude
of President Cleveland and his cabinet.
Should the United States presume to ex-
ercise pressure on Spain by recognizing
the Cuban insurgents or encouraging
them in their resistance, it has been in
formed that Europe generally might
become uneasy at the idea of such IN
extension of international action by the
United States, inas1nuch as it might at
given moment threaten almost all
the powers whose possessions are in
proximity to the United States and
might tempt the spirit of enterprise
and encroachme mt that is inspiring the
senate committee on foreign relations.
"If," continues the writer. II am corr
-ectly informed, the United States has
been concurrently Informed that Ger
many is already quite prepared to side
with Spain in the event of the United
States showing that she is disposed Of
ficially to side with the rebels. More
over academic conversations are pro-
ceeding in certain foreign Offices anent
the measucrs the powers should take to
form syndicate against the invasion
of socialism which is now menacing all
political organizations. 1t was during
these pour parlers thst the friendly
warning to the United States orig
mated, Senator Cameron's resolutions
for the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents being regarded in some quar-
| tiers as revolutionary"

HIS TERM REDUCED.


Given Eight Years In Prison.
Havana, Dec. 2S.-The reunited tr,-
bunal which judged the proceedings
against Julio Sanguily, naturalized
American citizen charged with conspir-
acy against the Spanish government,
met Saturday for the first time after
on adjournment for the Christmas holi-
days. The judges decided that San
gully was guilty of modified quail
fication of the crime of which he was
accused and sentenced him to eight
years and one day Imprisonment.
Sanguily was arrested with 80 Others.
including many members Of well-known
families of Havana, and confined in
Moro castle. An attempt was made to
try him by court-martial, but through
the efforts of Consul Ramon O. Will
liams Sanguily's American citizenship
was established and he was given q
civil trial, which resulted in his sen-
tence TO life Imprisonment at hard la
Dor in the mines of Ceuta, Africa. The
case was appealed to the supreme court
at Madrid. The grounds upon which
the United States government inter-
vened in his behalf were that his trial
by a military tribunal did not accord
with the terms of the Spanish-Amercar
treaty. and he was granted new trial
by the supreme court, resulting as
above announced. It is extremely prob
able that another appeal will be made
to the higher courts, the defense dur
ing the proceedings having vainly urged
that the tribunal was illegally consti-
tuted, since six judges should have pre-
sided. and not five.

WONDERFUL NEW LIGHT.
Tho French Admiralty Attaches Great
Importance to It.

Tho French Admiralty Attaches Greos
Importance to It.
Quite recently there has been brought
out by the French navy a mysterious
device known as ''la ratiere," or the
rat trap light" 1t is thing of small
dimensions and is placed on the deck OF
the vessel. 1t throws out an electric
light that can only be discovered dead
ahead. La ratiere is constructed as
follows: a square box has within it at
one end a concave mirror, in front OF
which is adjusted an arc light. The
light is focused upon q piano-convex
lens placed midway of the length of the
box, so that the rays of light are pro-
jccted through silyered tube as
bundle of parallel rays.
BY the sides OF the outer end of the
silvcred tube are placed two prisms, one
of red and the other of green glass,
through which portion of the light
passes in divergent rays. At distance
of several miles the light of q ratiere
appears as small point, and conse-
auently difficult of detection to those
not knowing the quarter in which to
look for it. Its detection is thus re-
duced to q minimum, as it can be seen
only within a radius of few feet at
such distance.
The use of the red and green rays Is
for the purpose of enabling the vesse'
for whom the signal is intended to
know in which direction to steer so as
to come within the zone of white light
should the white ray disappear. ~
means of this invention night signals
can be made when flashlights and rock

be seen either to the right or left, but
only dead ahead or dead astern. The
French admiralty attaches great i'm
portance to this light and has taken ex.
traordinary precautions to guard IT
