A Priest Scientist,

Among those in attendance at the
recent convention of the Association Of
Weather Bueau Officials of the United
States in Milwaukee was Rev. Frede-
rick Odenbach, S. j., of st. Ignatius'
College, Cleveland, Ohio, a we'll known
scientist and meteorological. On the
request. Of President Willis Moore,
chief Of the weather bureau, Father
Odenbach addressed the delegates.
Father Odenbach has made his name
prominent in scientific circles recently
by remarkable invention. In the me-
neurological observatory on the tower
of the college building, in Cleveland,
Father Odenbach set up an instrument
which records every flash of lightning
within a radius Of nearly 100 miles.
The apparatus is extremely complicat-
ed and not easy Of comprehension to
one who has not a scientific education.
The theory, however, Is the same US
that Of the Marconi wireless telegra-
ply. The electric waves, coming from
a great distance or from near at hand,
are collected and brought through a
series of delicate appliances to a re-
corder, which notes each impression
with distinct click, similar to the
click of n telegraph instrument.
The tower of st. Ignatius' College is
rooted with plate copper. This forms
an excellent collector" for the cleo
trio rays. Connected with this copper
roof' tower is the lightning rod, and
connected with this by small wire
are delicate recording instruments.
Hours before storm breaks. when
the sky is absolutely clear and no
sign of lightning anywhere to be seen.

Grants Name.

Not many Americans know that Hi
ram U. Grant was the eighteenth presi-
dent Of the United States. Yet it is
true, for Ulysses Simpson" was never
legally the name of the general, says
Franklin B. Wiley in the Ladies' Home
Journal
nhe story of how it came about was
told by member of congress, Thomas
l.. Hamer, who recommended young
Grant as Il candidate for West Point in
1880. Mr.. Hamer had long been a
friend Of the Grants, but when he
came to make out the application pa
pers for Ulysses he could not recall
the boys full name. So, deciding that
he was doubtless named for his moth
er's family, he wrote it ULYSSES Simp-
son Grant" Thus was it recorded at
West Point, and though the attention
of the officials; was several times called
to the error they did not feel autho-
rized to correct it, This name was
gradually adopted, and by it Grant
was and always will be known. But
as for any record of the birth Of ''Ulys-
ses Simpson Grant," that does not ex-
list.

The Mass in Hs brew.

When Our Savior was on earth three
languages were spoken in Palestine
Latin, the language of plate, of the
Roman soldiers and officials; Greek,
the language of most of She Gentiles
living in Palestine and of the majority
of the Jews from all parts of the earth
who came to Jerusalem on the great
feasts: the Apostles were evidently:
familiar with it, since they wrote the
Gospels and their epis.les II Greek. but
their native language was what is
called in the New Testament Hebrew.
When Christ was fastened to the crsss
PLATE ordered His name and title to
be written in these three languages,
so that all might be able to read the
inscription.
The Mass, which is the sacrifice of
the Gross renewed. is offered up every
day in the three languages which were
written on the Cross. In most Of the
world the Mass is celebrated in Latin,
but Greek is largely used in the East,
and there are some priests and bishops
who continue to offer up the Holy Sac
rlfice in the same language in which
the first Mass, the Last Supper, was
celebrated. There is. however, only
The Irish standard., 1901-09-14

one church in the United States in
which Mass is offered up every day
in the language of the Last Supper,
the Church of the ALagdalene, at Po,
cantico Hills, where 1T is celebrated by
the Rev. Gabriel Oussani, a priest
from Egypt.
The native language of Christ and
the Apostles, which in the New Tesla
ment is called Hebrew, is not the He.
brew of the Old Testament; it is more
properly called Aramaic or Syro-C hal-
daic. During the Babylonian captivity
and afterwards the language Of the
Jews was gradually altered, and the
knowledge Of the ancient Hebrew soon
disappeared amongst the common peo-
pie; in Christ's time it was not any
better understood than Latin is now
by the majority of the people. In the
synagogues the Scriptures We're first
read in the ancient Hebrew, and then
translated into the language which the
people understood, just as now after
reading the Gospel in Latin, the priest
reads translation of it and gives an
explanation of it.

Dewey,s Gift to the millionaire.

Though Admiral Dewey Is a model
of patience and considerate politeness,
he can be peremptory and cuttingly
ironlcal when occasion calls, says the
Saturday Evening Post. His friends
recall an interesting incident illustra.
tive Of these traits. 1t took place in
1876 when he was commander of the
Pensacola, of the European squadron.
His vessel visited Mediterranean
port which has seen few American
warships since the war with Tripoli.
AS the Pensacola needed sprucing up.
Commander Dewey gave orders that
no visitor be allowed Oh board until
noon of the next day.
1t happened that New York nabob
was in the harbo with his yacht. In
his launch he made for the Pensacola
without delay, but was refused per-
mission to board by the deck officer.
mo visitors will be received until
noon tomorrow" the millionaire was
informed.
"Isut you must let me on now" the
nabob urged. "I am Mr.. So-and-So,
you KNOW" mentioning Ills charmed
name. II pay more taxes in America
than any other two men, and, in fact,
I own half the United States navy"
"Let him up" came an order from
the commander.

The Russian Army.

An idea of the present efficiency of
the Russian army may be gained from
the recent conquest Of Manchuria,
which was effected almost entirely iby
Siberian troops, the troops at home
having been left practically untouch-
ed, says Pearson's Magazine.
In this campaign Russia swiftly
and secretly massed 10000 efficient
troops on the Manchurian frontier,
thousands of miles from Europe, with
out any special effort.
According to the latest returns for
1901, the statistics of the Russian army
are as follows, on peace fooing:
Infantry: 900 battalions of foot, or
100000 bayonets.
Cavalry: 50 regiments, or $1,000
sabres.
Artillery: 400 batteries, or LOO
guns.
Cossacks: $4,000 men and 1Os can
non.
The general total on peace footing,
including those not in the ranks, gar
rison troops and local reserve forces,
amounts to $4,000 men, with $4,000
horses.
On war footing, including the re-
serves, the soldiers of the czar amount
to 100000 men and 100000 horses.
The total population of the emnire
is 12S,939,537 souls.

AT midnight and by feeble light, with
Brown, Benton, Stanton and two OF
three other members of the cabinet
present, the body of ]. Wilkes Booth
was lowered into the deep grave.
The ammunition was replaced care
fully above the new filled grave, the
door locked, and the key put into the
hands of Secretary Stanton.
There the body of the assassin rested
until removed-no one knows where or
when-by the Booth family.
The young girl religiously kept the
trust, and not until several years after,
when she married the army officer
who vouches for this story, did it pass
her lips. The discussion of the trial
of Mrs. Surratt now going on awak-
ened the story, and it was told for the
first time.

Wiseman's MASTERPIECE.

The year 1854 was important in the
life of Cardinal Wiseman as marking
the first publication of his "Fabiola,"
the masterpiece among his writings,
writes Rev. T.. A. Cunningham in the
September Donahoe's. A novel from
the pen of a priest was at the time an
unheard Of event. 1t was time when
the reading Of such literature was
looked upon as the dissipation of idle
minds, and when novel writer's were
considered as men of but superficial
intellect. That bishop, therefore,
and a prince of the church, should de-
scend to such fields of literary endeav-
or excited feelings little short of hor-
ror, especially in the minds of his col
leagues at Rome, to whom literature
signitied the severest- kind of disuui
sition. When, however, the volume
had gone forth, when it was read,
cry of admiration arose from all sides,
and a new glory was added to those.
that already hung about the name of
the writer. 1t was eminently proper
that such a book should have been
written by Wiseman. No one so well
as he had lived through years of ap-
probation in the midst Of the Cata-
combs, and none could so we'll paint
the manners, customs, feelings, the
loves and the disappointments of those
who centuries ago had therein found
their homes.
The popularity Of "Fabiola" became
Immediately evident. 1t was pub
lished in all the languages of Europe,
while in Italy alone there We're at
least seven versions. Newman said of
it: ut is impossible, think, for any
one to read it without finding himself
more or less in the times Of which it
treats, and drawn in devotion to the
great actors who have ennobled
them" The king Of Prussia read it
like an Eastern tale. One night when
he could not sleep he sent for it and
read it through at once. On the CONT
ment it was the topic in all Catholic
circles, and found favorable recogni.
tons in many Protestant journals.
Orestes Brownson wrote of it: cit is a
most charming book, a truly popular
work, and alike pleasing to the scholar
and to the general reader. 1t is the
first Of the kind that we have read in
any language in which truly pious and
devout sentiment, and the loftiest and
richest Imagination, are so blended, SO
fused together, that the one never jars
on the other" What the Dream Of
Gerontius" was to Cardinal Newman,
such was "Fabiola" among the varied
works Of Wiseman, one Of those
books that appear only once in a cen
tury, but whose influence will last as
long as the memory of their creators.

What Ireland Needs.

The writer in the Rochester IN. W
Post-EXpress who signs himself 81.
O'C.." is well informed on Irish affairs.
Speaking of the lesson contained in the
census returns for Ireland and the
enormous emigration from that coun-
try, he says:
In due time, of course, the tide will
stop through force of natural causes;
but is there any use in agitation
against it's ebb and flow? Not much,
unless some new social and Industrial
influences can be set in motion. Mod
em methods of transportation have
brought the wheat fields, the dairies
and cattle herds of America too close
to the English markets for competl-
ton in Ireland, beyond a certain point,
and as agriculture is not capable of
indefinite expansion, but is limited by
the extent of the ground available and
the maximum rate Of productiveness,
1t will not support dense population.
To an increase in Ireland, then, com
merce and manufactures are necessary,
so that the Industries and interests of
the people may be diversified. The
policy of England for long time dis
couraged and even restricted both; and
though government is no longer hos
tile the vast interests of Great Britain,
In, In t,,u.n nf 10,
competition in Ireland.
There is comparatively little capital
and little enterprise; and so the re-
sources Of the island are undeveloped,
its cheap labor unemployed, and n
great natural harbOr, like that Of
Queenstown, left almost deserted. The
problem is to get capital into the coun-
try and rouse It's men Of intelligence
to the necessity of business activity,
for the sake Of the people, as we'll as
means of Individual prosperity. If
Ireland We're Independent and self
governing the nation could do much
toward recuperAtion; but a change is
not impossible under existing political
conditions-though somewhat improb-
able. The long foreign domination has
been fruitful in many indirect, as we'll
as direct, evils; and among these are
numberless discords in race, class and
creed, so that the prosperity of the
country Is the first consideration with
few Of the natural leaders of the peo-
pie, and not even the second considera-
ton with many. Personal interest
comes first with most of them; then
church interest; after that class inter-
est, and the interest of Ireland brings
up the rear.

No More Professors.

When Spartacus, the gladiator, adj
dressing his comrades, exclaimed, I'VE
call me chief, and We do we'll to call
him chief, who for twelve long years
has met upon the arena every shape
of man and beast that the broad en-
pire of Rome could furnish, and never
yet has lowered his ARM" he put in
terse but emphatic language the best
possible reasons for his title, says the
Duluth Herald. How many doctors, or
professors, or masters, or bachelors
could show such title as Spartacus
did to that Of chief? Probably but
very few. They do say that Chicago
university is to have no professors
among its faculty-that the ancient and
honorable title which has been syno-
nymous with imbecility and cerebral
Inactivity in all small colleges and
little universities is to be abolished by
the great Rockefeller training school.
If this be true, the people will forgive
all the minor sins Of omission and
commission Of which that institution
has been guilty in the past Its nu-
merous freak teachers will be forgot

names. That once dignified title which
stood for a certain amount of learning
has been sadly disgraced by the COM

circumstances and people over which
1t had no control. The dancing master
and the corn doctor have both trodden
it under foot. The hypnotist, the aero

Burial Of John wilkes Booth.

An unquestionable story Of the burial
Of J. Wilkes Booths body at Wash
ington arsenal, from which place it
was supposed to be removed years
later and given decent burial by his
kinsmen, is told and vouched for by
an army officer now stationed at
Washington. After the shooting of
Wilkes Booth near Frederick the body
was put into boat under. the imme-
diate supervision of Captain Brown,
now Rear Admiral Brown, retired, liv-
ing at Indianapolis, Ind, and carried
to the Washington navy yard, where,
still rolled in blanket, the body was
placed in yawl and carried to
landing at the arsenal.
AS the little boat came in shore a
young girl and two smaller ones stood
on the wharf. and as the body was
being lifted out the blanket fell away
from the dead mans face. The older
girl at once recognized it rs that of
President Lincoln's assassin. Captain
Brown asked if she had seen the face
and If she knew it, to which she re-
sponded that she did He asked her to
say nothing, as it would give great
trouble should it be known that they
had Booths body in charge.
Later Commandant Benton, COM
mandant in charge of the arsenal, re-
peated the warning not to tell. The
body then was carried to the old Jail,
to room in which ammunition was
stored. Then all the ammunition was
removed, and, under the direct super
vision of Captain Brown and Com
mandant Benton, grave was dug.
