pleased that my career in Washington
should be crowned by the part which
have had in the establishment of the Cath
Ollie University of America here in our ma
tional capital. Reflection and experience
had made it clear both to our holy father
and to the bishops of the United States
that an essential need of our age is an eff
cient antidote for the erroneous phioso-
phies, the mistaken science, and the merely
secular instruction, which are leading men
astray from the truth of Christ. They
were persuaded that this antidote is to be
found in Christian knowledge-that is, in
the totality of knowledge with God and
Christ for its very heart and animating
principle. and therefore in Christian edu-
cation, from its lowest grades to its high
est and most scientific advances. They
were convinced that the crown of the
Christian educational system must be a
university, distinct from and superior to
all the schools and all the colleges, yet
allied to them all, linked with them ALL
locked up to and co-operated with by them
all, the center and summit of them all.

ELECTRIC CABS.

The Commercial Advertiser of New York
gives very interesting account OF the
success of electric cabs in that city. The
improvement. it seems, has passed far
beyond the stage of experiment, for these
novel vehicles have been doing a regular
twenty mile-per-day service in conveying
people through the crowded streets of the
metropolis.
There are a dozen of these cabs and
few carriages offered for hire in New
York, and they are in constant use.
They are maintained, it is said, at about
half the expense of horse for the same
amodnt of work. They cost $500, but
they are 30 strongly built at this price
that the expense of repairs is very slight.
They are operated by q storage-battery
system, which will propel a vehicle
twenty miles with one charge, and the
expectation is to soon perfect them so
they will carry thirty-five miles with one
supply. They run at any speed from four
miles to fifteen per hour, and they can be
geared to run at even higher speed if de-
sired. They have the advantage that
they can be stopped in one and half
their length, and can be more accurately
.
streets than the most reliable horse.
1t Is stated that physicians are among
the best patrons OF this Electric Carriage
Company. They find them quick and
easy riding and they recommend them,
especially to invalids, because the motion
is less ierky than in horse-drawn vehicles.
Tho city government has officially recog-
nized the advent OF the horseless carriage
by passing special ordinances for their
regulation.
The Electric Carriage Company expects
to enlarge its business until the whole
city is supplied with the cabs. They are
rented, but never sold, because the CON-
pany is afraid of dissatisfaction among
customers from not fully understanding
their mechanism. The company, it is re-
ported, makes continuous study of i'm
provements and expects soon to have
practically perfect vehicle. There seems
to be no question of their safety, and in
the four months in which they have been
in use in New York no accidents of i'm
portancs have resulted from their employ
ment.

WAR AND EXPLOSIVES

Hudson Maxim, a brother of the in
ventor of the famous Maxim guns, and
noted manufacturer Of powerful e1plo-
sives, recently announced before the
United Service Institution in London that
he believed 1t is feasible to make
gun capable of shooting a torpedo
containing 1920 pounds of picric acid,
species of dynamite, distance of nearly
nine miles, and that such shell would
destroy any vessel in the British navy if
exploded either on or in the close neigh
borhood of her.
Mr.. Maxim was formerly engaged with
Lieutenant Zalinski in the attempt to In
vent pneumatic dynamite gun. This in
vention was tested by the United States
Government and was found partially sue
cessful. Maxim is thus thoroughly ia
miliar with the accomplishments and the
failures on this line, and he has taken up
the work where Zalinski left off.
His new plan does not depend upon
compressed air to fire the torpedo, but
upon an explosive compound said to be
much safer. There is device 10 prevent
premature explosions by interposing an
interior air space between the charge of
the fuse and the bursting charge of tho
shell. The inventor calculates that if the
torpedo exploded so small charge as 500
pounds of an explosive called Maxim
lite" comb ined with picric acid within
fifty feet of the strongest of modern war
vessels the ship would be destroyed, and
that if the charge was as much as ton it
would be effectual anywhere within $50
feet.
The cost of cruiser sufficiently armed
with these guns and torpedoes to destroy
200 battle-ships he estimates would be
only half million dollars For the price
of single one of our great modern war
vessels a feet of ten of these dynamite
shooters could be constructed with an
ability to wipe navy of 1000 ships off the
seas.
The idea hitherto has been that such ex-
plosives would have to wait for practical
use in war until the invention of airships
was perfected. The scheme was to get up
above the vessel and drop the torpedoes
with safety to the airship and death to
the water-ship. This thought of course
postponed the revolution in methods of
warfare to very indefinite future, but
now the possibility seems close upon u.s.
1t will be glorious contamination If in
some way this invention will put out of
date the spending of vast sums in national
armament, and turn them to use in the
arts and peaceful industries.

PROFITABLE DEALING IN FLOUR.

year J. B. Montgomery said:

United States Consul at Valparaiso in Chile,
His consulate, previous to the rush of the
gold-seekers for California, was worth less tha n

Cape Horn all stopped at Valparaiso to take in
provisions and water. The fees increased his
income so that 1t reached SOS, 900 per annum

ENGLAND'S DANGERS.

Calculations made for the purpose of
showing how absolutely England is de-
pendent upon the outside world for the
necessaries of life continue to excite dis
cussion in that country. 1t appears that
the mount spent for the wheat and wheat
flour used in year is S17s, 900, 600, and the
portion OF this paid foz homegrown wheat
is only S27, 100000. This i'm mense GUAM
t1ty OF wheat and wheat -four imported is
only about one-ffth of the food stuffs
which must be brought in from abroad.
In 1895 the amount imported was worth
1888, 000,0 O0
II will be seen from this that if the sup.
ply of imported food were cut off for as
much as two months the poorer classes of
England would be starving. Not only
would the food supply run short, but the
mass of the people could get no money to
buy with, for the great bulk of the indus
tries of England depend upon imported
raw materials.

A STATE THAT DESERVES LUCK.
Cleveland Leader.


California has good wheat crop, like many
other States In which that grain is one Of the
most important products. The Californians
are wise enough, in the hour Of their album
dance, to get their wheat to market as fast as
possible, and in the great gratn-growtng sec
ton of the State there is Veritable blockade
which the transportation lines are unable to
break
This means much money and general pros
perity for the State which proved true to the
Republican party and to common honesty in
the crucial campaign of 1896, regardless ofthe
fact that its sympathies were all with the min
ing regions of the West and that all its polit-
icRl parties had been more or less committed
TO the silver heresy In this case fate is just,
for there was no commonwealth in all the
land that made Drawer or better fight for the
honor of the Nation and the safety of society
than California did, and no State more thor
oughly earned all kinds of good fortune
May the hills and valleys of California con-
hnue to pour out gold and golden grain, fruit
and oil and all that its people desire in un-
stinted abundance, and may it wax great ana
flourish exceedingly
