which made a detour of the three aisies

during which time. in addition to the
faithful who will visit the church, guard
of honor will be detailed to kneei before
the altar so that at no moment may the

As far as can be ascertained the de-
voticn of forty hours is due TO Father
Joseph a Capuchin priest of Milan in the
early part Of the sixteenth century. In
1892 Pope Clement VIII provided for the
public and perpetual alteration Of the
blessed sacrament" in the different
churches in Rome. and the devotion has
been made perpetual in the Catholic world
of the United States by being observed at
least once u year in all the principal

MRS. j. G. BERRET's DEATH.
Prominent in the Social Life oi
Washington Eurlier DAYS

Mrs. James G. Berret died at her home.
No. 1855 Street northwest. at 9.16 O'Clock
last night, having been i'll for some time.
Mrs. Berret passed peacefully away after
a long and active life. Her demise was
not due to any particular complaint. but
came because of the weakening inlirmitics
of age.
Mrs. Berret was formerly Miss Julia
Wight Bordley, and was born in AanapO-
of James w. Bordley, a prominent Mary
land attorney. She was married TO Col.
James L. Berret in 1910. Colonel Barret
at that time held AN important position
in the Treasury Department.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berret came to Washing
ton in the same year, and were among the
leaders of the local society in the earlier
days Mrs. Berret was famous for her
rare beauty and her intellectual qualities.
Colonel Berret served as postmaster of
Washington. and afterward as mayor OF
the city. When the civil War broke out
he was the incumbent of that oflica.
Before she became almost helpless
through intirmities, Mrs. Berret was de
voted To charitable and church work and
did II great deal TO relieve the poor OF the
city.
During her life Mrs. Berret had seen
the introduction Of all the remarkable in
yentions of the century.
Although arrangements have not been
completed. it is probable that Mrs. Berrel' >
funeral Will be held tomorrow.

Ocean Engineering.


The following information is given out by the
harbor and land commissioners:
Reports continue to come in daily of the con-
ditiOn in which the coast line is left by the
great storm. Chief Engineer Hodgdon, who is
an excellent photographer, has secured pictures
Of the conditions at the head Of MaTbehead
Harbor, where 900 tons OF paving stones were
lifted by the tide and gently deposited in mass
on the cau>eway to Marhehead Neck, making 1t
dig roadway before any teams could get across.
The most wonderful work OF nature is in
Scituate, at North River, between that town
and Marshfeld. At this point, between the third
and fourth cliffs, there has been Tor many years
a neck OF land at the mouth OF the river, and
the attention of engineers and others has for L
long time beeen given to the possibility OF cut
ting channel through it.
"Whcn John Quincy Adams President he
looked the ground over, and the National Gov
crnment attempted to make a channel, but it
was a failure.
when tue storm came however 1t accom-
plished in i few hours what seemed impossible
and now there is channel 30 feet wide and
from thirteen to fifteen feet deep at low water.
OK now covered with water, which never
flooded before. and al ebh tide this water
Scnurs the channel, thus deepening it al the
time.
Inside the channel there is new hlrbor
much larger than ScituItc HarbOr and much
larger than the boat harhors which the hlrboI

points along the coast, and which At many point.

A DIRIGIBLE BALLOON.
\ Russian Design Which Has Been
Successfully Manipulated.

(From the Philadelphia lnq'nrer.D
Dr. X l. Danilewsky. of Charl1ov. Rus
sa, has met with considerable success in
operating a dirigible balloon OF his own
design. This balloon-tiying machine, says
the Scientific American, is based on the
hypothesis that if a mans strength. in
proportion to his weight. is not sufficient
to raise him in the air he can raise himself
If part OF his weight is sGbtracted. By the
use of a balloon filled with hydrogen the
weight OF the man is eliminated from the
problem, and he can use all his efforts to
propel and steer the balloon which sup
ports him. In order to utilize the whole
power of the wings, which are 16 feet
long, for progressive movement it is nee
essary to rise high in the air. and then
the wings can be placed at 90 degrees
without any risk of descending.
In the latter case. to keep the machine
from descending it is better to open the
parachute. On October s. 1897. some
twenty-five ascents were made in an hour
and half. Other ascents were made IN
the spring and summer OF 1898 with good
success, the balloon being turned round
and round repeatedly. The size of the
wings was decreased to IL % feet and
the working surface was increased. At a
height OF $50 feet the balloon was kept
immovable and was turned around in the
air several times. 1t was found that the
balloon must be inflated with fresh hy-
drogen every seven or eight days.
While such experiments do not solve
the problem of n really practical flying
machine, which can go for miles without
descending and can be managed at will,
still they show that inventors are on the
right track, and our Government has done
wisely in apprOpriating $4,000 for ex-
periments on the subject under the direc-
| tion OF competent scientists. who will
guard against the wasting of money on
the exploitation OF freak devices.

THE GOLDEN RULE DISCUSSED.
Federation of Young Peoples Socic-
ties Holds Its Quarterly Session.

The Federation of Young Peoples So
cieties of the churches of Washington held
its sixth quarterly meeting last evening at
the Church of Our Father. The federation
consists of four societies-the Young Peo-
pies Religious Union of the Unitarian
Church. the Young Peoples Christian
Union of the Universalist Church. the
Young Peoples Union of the Hicksite
Friends Church and the Young Peoples
Union OF the People Church.
At each of the quarterly meetings some
special subject is selected for discussion by
representatives from the several societies
composing the union. The subject chosen
for last evening was The Golden Rule -
which was discussed from four different
points of view. The most forcble paper
| on the general subject was by Miss Morri-
SON of the Peoples Church. who spoke of
| the golden rule among churches. She
maintained that until the rule of do unto
! others as you would have them do unto
| you is recognized and practiced by the
| people of all denominations the highest
| point of civilization cannot be reached. She
| favored the practice of the golden rule by
| all denominations. She believed she said,
that the whole world is the home OF the
! true Christian and his mission is TO do
| good.
|
cussed by Mr.. Steward. OF the Unitarian
| Church. who deplored the fact that its
teachings are so little known in commercial
! circles Prof. T. c. Sidwell of the Friends
| Church. who spoke of the Golden Rule in
| the Home differed with Mr.. Steward on
| this point and argued that the successful
man in business is the one who recognizes
the principles of the rule by treating his
patrons fairly. T.. c. Wilson. of the same
church, submitted the opinions of eminen,
| authors on the subject.
The Golden Rule in the Church" was
discussed by Mrs. Frank Evarts. who
maintained that the reception given peo-
pie by the congregations should be sincere
! and be more than ii mere formaliuy.
| The meeting was well attended and vas
presided over by Miss Isabel Jordan. pres
ident of he Young Peoples Society of the
| Cniversalist Church The music during
the evening was led by Miss Carrie Ior-
dan. who presided AT the piano. assisted
by W. T.. Mundell as accompanies on the
