of the Santa Casa. or Holy House of
Loreto, in Italy The Santa Casa is re-
puted to be the veritable house wherein
the Virgin Mary lived at Nazareth,
which during the night of May II, 1921,
was miraculously severed from it's foun-
dations and borne through the air by
angels to Tesalto, in Illyria, and trans
ferred thence, three years later, by the

HOMES OF THE VIRGIN MARY.

Pope.

The Site Presented by the Kaiser to the
Pope.
A memorable incident of the German
I Kaiser's visit to Jerusalem was the
presentation to him by the Sultan of a
small lot of ground reputed to be the
site of the Virgin Mary's home in that
city. The Kaiser promptly turned the
lot over to the Pope, to be held in trust
Tor the Catholics of Germany. This lot
is not, as some of the papers nave as
serted, a vacant one. A two story es-
Establishments devoted to business pur-
poses has stood there for the last two
centuries. This will probably be torn
down, and chapel or church will be
erected upon it. The attendant excava-
tions may reveal something to confirm
or deny the tradition that here the Vir-
gin Mary lived with her son during the
last, three years of his life, when he
appeared to the world as prophet and
Messiah.
n There are many spots in the Holy
Land which are associated with the
Mother of God She was anative of
Nazareth, Christ was born to her at
Bethlehem, he was brought up under
her care at Nazareth Later the family
domicile was transferred to Jerusalem.
After the crucifxion, according to the
legend, Mary fed with St. John the
Evangelist to Ephesus, where the be-
loved disciple built her a house, in
which she spent her last days.
! In Nazareth is still pointed out the
of what is claimed to be the
erstwhile home of the Holy Family.
This is now a portion of the Latin Con-
vent, large, square building enclosed

i A late paper by E. Chadbourn
places water at the head of the miner
ais of Maine, although this State
ranks second IN granite production
and is the source of the worlds finest
tourmaline gems. Water is here
king, whatever may be said of pro-
hibition. The rainfall, which reaches
the unusual American average of AZ
inches year, fills more than 1900
lakes Of considerable size, covering a
fifteenth of the States area; and the
distribution, retentiveness and height
of these natural reservoirs so large
lake as Rsngeley being more than
1900 feet above sea level make the
generous supply available in variety
of ways. The fall of the water from
these reservoirs through the rivers to
the sea gives store of mechanical
energy estimated at 1855 200 horse
power, little of which has been yet
used. In commerce. water plays
some part, large sales being made
from the world-famous Poland Spring
and other springs of less note, while
iceis an important article of export.
Without its abundance of water, the |
rugged country could never have
been sportsmen's paradise and the
summer park of the Eastern States.
On its southern border the water of |
the sea fills the indentations in the |
most wonderful $500 miles of coast I
line in America, giving series of |
splendid harbors, the like of which is
not elsewhere known. The tides are
the highest in the United States, at
tanning a range of Is to 20 feet at
Eastport, and with convenient inlets /
providing source of unlimited tidal |
power. The utilization of this energy I
through electric plants will be an
early work of the twentieth century, I
and will add another to the many ad- +
vantages of the Pine Tree State in

Colors can be produced not only
by dyestuffs but also by interference
says M. Olivier Glotin, a French
chemist. The latter term includes
the color phenomena displayed when
luminous rays penetrate very thin
layers of body or are reflected by
thin lamels, familiar examples being
furnished by the soap bubble and
the wings of the opslescent butterfly
Such thin lamellae may be produced
artificislly on paper, etc, by covering
with special collodion solution.
The coating, however, is somewhat
costly, the colors are entirely subject
to chance and it has remained for
Prof. Charles Henry, Of the physio-
logical laboratory of the Sorbonne, to

colorings on paper of certain opale-
soence without idyestuffs. He en-

to immuIe an erIing wife is urdeni- able in Austria, and so far, King Leo poid has not seen his daughter.
 Meantime Duke Ph;-tp is lobbying at tne vatican in person and by deputy in behalf of petition which he has pre- sented to the pops for the annulment Of his marriage. It will be surprising if he should succeed. He complained the other day of mysterious influences which raise difficulties at every turn. It is really not so much of a mystery as to what influence is baffling the in- jured princely husband It is that of Emperor Joseph, the most powerful of Catholic soverd gns. King Leopold is also a devoted son of the church. Both object to the annulment, and both re- solved to prevent it. The dukes peti~ ton was received by the pope two moushs ago, and referred to the Con- gregation Hi Concile, which deals with such matters. Cardinal Pietro, pre- feet of the congregation, decided on Wednesday to reject the petition, but in accordance with custom and eti- quette the documents in the case were sent 10 the pope himself. But the pc tition will probably be held up dn- definitely. The duke is too good q Catholic to have recourse to a secular cou1l5 in any country. Moreover, he desires not 2 Clvcrce, but an annul- ment, which the pope alone is compe- tent to declare. That would enable the duke to marry ag2,in, and it is rumored that a pretty romance exists to explain this desire.

THE MILITARY SALUTE
1t Has More That Ordinary Si0Rifi.
 canoe 10 ( Troop Rough Rider.

Say" says the curbstone critic to the war editor the other day, "did you notice how popular the military salute is becoming on our streets in place of the old hehaw, howde, goodmon, so, so, and ta-ta? There is dignity, re- spect and command in the military salute My attention was attracted 10 it by c trooper from the Rough Riders. I will not mention his name in the way he saluted Captain Alex ander, the commanding officer of that troop. I says to him, Why do yoJ continue the military salute to Cap tain Alexander?" His answer was: Because I respect him, sir. He was T tTna in the uniform and I tell you it takes a man to wear the uniform of an officer. Civilians clothes can hide q snOb, but the officers uniform will betray him every time.'
 He then told the following intere4.- ing incidents which happened in Troop c: A couple of our troopers were found blind stone drunk, bliss fully sleeping by the side of the road in the mud during one of those fearful tropical storms between camp and Tampa. The find was reported and g squad was sent out and brought the derelicts in. We all thought they would be punished severely. Instead of being taken to the guard house they were taken to their quarters. TheS put their arms around each other to assure each other of their mutual friendship, fell over on their blankets and went to sleep. They were too sick to be put on duty for thirty-six hours. They never were sent to the guard house. Of course they were put on extra duty, but they were not degraded by being thrown into tIi~ guard house. They were a couple Of fine boys, too.
 "'Captain Alexander told the non coms that he did not want to bring disgrace upon the troop and the men by working up guard house rec ord. The moral reputation of Troop dated from then and was main tained. When we left Tampa for Montauk Point, Long Island, most of
