WARRINGTON, March 4.-The Roman Congre-
cation Of the Holy Office, historically known as
tho "Inquisiton," one OF the most solemn tri.
bunals in tho Catholic Church, has just sent to
this country n decree regulating the use of flags
In decorating the church or at any church func-
tion, which cannot fail to arouse much hos
tile sentiment, coming as II does at n time when
Catholic laymen arc striving to refute the fire.

This decree absolutely forbids the use Of ma
tional, State. or other emblems Of purely secular
organizations In any service Of tho Church.
whether at thcobsequies of officials Of standing or
In tho celebration Of such events as might mako
the presence Of the flag seem appropriate. Tho
decree also prohibits tho use of the unblcsscd
banners OF private societies and makes the fol-
lowing rules for tho blessing of such banners
as may be used In the churches:
They must be .omblems ,of an organization
tho statutes Of which are fully approved, by the
Blshop; the sncioty must be under the Bishops
Jurisdiction and must depend on his authority,
and the banner must have on it q distinctly re-
petent Judges. The decree admits that the
american nag Is one which should be TO all
that II can never be considered as a fitting dec
Grafton for the house of God.
This mandate from Rome was issued in con-
nell OF Brooklyn and some Of his people IN con-
sequence of the Bishops action In commanding
rated should be removed fro from SH the edifiee. uf The
affair caused such wide criticism that tho Gu
ito Cdftoltcg, one OF the official organs of the
Vatican, took up tho case and obtained from
the office of the 'Inquisition' an authoritative
opinion on the controversy, to DO used as q prec-
edent in all future disputes of a similar ma
ture. Tho Ciuitd Cdtfoifcd upholds Bishop
Mcdonnell entirely. and declares that had he
acted otherwise he would have failed in his
high duty as one Of the 'shopherds' Of, the fold
of Christ.
It is believed by the Church authorities.hero
that this decree will call forth q protest from
Catholic laymen, and Il Is not unlikely that
Mgr. Martinelli will use his influence at Rome

lists against Catholics in certain sections of the

POETRY AND SCIENCE.
rA.,. Is. sy.p.,...,e x,..hip me-

G0or0 - . oy@RosnSssC sessb
swsss the ruo.
1t Is SO commonly assumed that poe
.ry and science are antagonistic that
IN address delivered by the poet
laureate. Alfred Austin. at the open
ing OF q new school Of science and art
recently. deserves a wide publicity.
says Nature. Macaulay. with his we'll
known love Of antithesis. once cndeay
bred to show that as civilization ad-
vances poetry almost necessarily de-
clines; and. taking science as one OF
the most important factors in the civ
llizing process. the inference Is that
poet with a knowledge OF scientific
facts labors under disadvantage.
Now, however. we are able to give
art are Complementary to one another
and not rivals. Science. said Mr.. Aus
Tin, Is exact knowledge-that and moth
ing more. But exact knowledge Is the
foundation Of all the arts. and no man
ever achieved real greatness In any OF
them who did not have the hrmest
grasp Of the permanent facts which
underlie them. Music, the most intan-
gible and fantastic of the arts. cannot
move one step nor excite single emo
tion without submitting to the severe
discipline of numbers. Finally. the
matter Of a poets verse Is not OF much
account. unless it be animated by the
scientific spirit OF close and wide OBJ
servation and Of loving accuracy. 1t
must be obvious to any one who has
read the "Divina Commedia" that the
greatest poet Of the middle ages. than
whom there was none greater In any
age, was thoroughly familiar with all
the science or exact knowledge OF his
time: and Leonardo da Vinci. who
might have equals but had no supe-
rior in the realm Of painting, was not
more fascinated by artistic concep-
tions than by what are called scien-
tific problems. and at these he labored
indefatigably Alike. therefore. by ne
cessity and choice. art exhibits sym
pathetic kinship with science. The
scientific spirit. far from being hostile
to the artistic spirit. Is ancillary to 1t.
for, as Dryden said, Genius Is per-
fected by science" The noblest mani
festations of both have always oecur.-
ed in one and the same epoch. Ath-
ems produced Euclid as well as Prax-
iteles; the vigorous old age OF Michael
Angelo oyerlapped the precocious youth
of Calico, and Bacon was the contem-
porary OF Shakespeare. And though
the century now drawing to close
has been pre-eminently scientific CEN
tury the locomotive and the telephone
will not be more enduring than the
verse of Byron and Tennyson or than
the pictures of Turner and Watts. The
reasoning intellect is the foundation
alike OF science and of art: but, con-
cluded Mr.. Austin, while reason alone
suffices to science. art is reason trans
figured by emotion.
