MAKING AN AMERICAN SAINT.
THE PROGRESS OF THE CANONIzATION
OF BISHOP NEUMANN

Loaded down with evidence OF q most con-
vincing sort-testlmony that has been collected
and siftcd-those who hold the memory Of q
certain Roman Catholic Bishop OF North Amer
lea most dear are pushing an interesting cause
through the Vatican. They are asking-and the
matter is already beyond its first stages-for the
canoniZation OF this reverend man-John Nepo-
mucene Neumann. OF the Society Of the Re-
dempiorists. Bishop OF Philadelphia who died
in 1870 This CanOnization will make him the
first North American saint OF the Roman Cath
olc Church. the first American. with the excep-
ton Of st. Rose Of Lima, who died in 1917 in
Lima. Peru.
Canonizaton Is a lengthy task. The doctrine
Is that the Church Is infa.iblc. A holy man or
woman once elevated TO santhood cannot be
taken down. He or she IS on the calendar for
all time And thus it comes about that some
times for a century and more the claims of some
candidate vii be urged. and the cause will make
slow progress. Not until nifty years after death
can sainthood be bestowed in any case Except
IN that Of 4 martyF). II Is oftener several cen
turtles after the worker FOR the right" has

dred times as expensive the original no one
is likely to try the substitute except out Of
curiosity. However If Or. Lllienfeld really sue
ceedS in his first endeavOr he may afterward
find way to make albumen out OF less costly
materials
Another question which will occur to many
people who have given attention to this subject
is whether artificial albumen can be made sufl-
GENTLY palatable to serve as food. The purest
form of albumen now known Is the white OF an
egg' and as eggs can be seasoned so as to be
eaten with relish by persons Of simple tastes
there would seem to be little likelihood OF
trouble on this score However. It Is hard to
conceive OF circumstances under which the ma
Jority Of people would not rather take their
daily instruments Of albumen as heretofore in
such combination as will give them the flavor

ECcENTMcITIES or TEMPERATE ZONES

NO CHANCES FOR THE WEATHER PROPHET.
From Notes and Qucres
our so-called temperate attitudes doubtless
afford Us more interest through their excessive
caprices than would ATTITUDES either tropical or
polar. But often their irregularities are so
marked that the memories OF the oldest in

much speculation about the weather Judging

for expecting that about three times in cen
