CHRISTIAN UNITY POSSIBLE.

Noted Prelate Believes Difference in
Creeds Can be Reconciled.
The series of articles on the "Great
Religions Of the World" which was be-
gun in the September number of the
North American Review, Is concluded in
the July number of that periodical by
paper on "Catholic Christianity" from
the pen of Cardinal Gibbons. The do
minion which the religion of Jesus Christ
has exercised over the hearts of so vast
multitude of men-including, even,
men of the most profound intellectual
powers-is due to the fact that that re-
l!igion is no philosophy, but a divine thing
IN the sense of an Immediate, positive
revelation. The avowedly anti Christian
forces of the past two centuries could
never have scored their triumphs were it
not for the mighty cleft that severed
Protestant from Catholic Christendom.
Great as are the obstacles in the way of
repairing this breach they are not insur-
ceased to solicit ofticially the wandering ne
families Of Christendom to return to the
common fold. OF the great work accom-
plished by the Christian teaching Car
dinal Gibbons says:
"Christianity has dominated all modern
history: Its morality; based on the low

1t has set firmly the cornerstone for all
future civilization, the conviction of Il
common humanity that has been deeply
rooted in us by no stOicism. but by the
story Of Jesus Christ and the lives and
deaths of countless Christian men and
women. 1t has clarified at once the
sense of sin and the reason for hope. 1t
has touched the deepest strings Of eff
Gent conviction; preached successfully,
in season and out Of season, of mercy
and justice and peace; affected intimately
every function of domestic life; thrown
a sheltering veil of sanctity about maid
and mother and home; stood out against
the fierce ambitions and illicit loves of
rulers, and the low passions of the multi
tude. 1t has healed and cleansed whole
legations and filled out with a yiyifying
spirit the noble but inorganic letter Of
the great maxims that Seneca or an
Epictetus might utter, but could not
cause to live. It has distinctly raised the
social and civil life of all civilized hui
mankind. 1t bears within itself the anti
dote of certain divine presence, where
by it overcomes forever those germs of
decay and change that cause the death
Of all other societies. Its earlier writer's

Their customs will illustrate, too, the

Of life, and even habits of thought, on

plant anew in the soil fertilized by the
annual silt deposit.

lce-Natural and Artificial.

New York uses great deal of artificial
ice every summer. There are thirty ice
making plants in operation in this city,
having a daily output of from so to 600
tons each. This ice enters to certain
extent into competition with natural ice,
and is used for all purposes. "Will arti-
fetal ice ever supplant the natural prod
uct?" is question which the stockhold-
ers in ice companies have asked many
times Their managers comfort them in
this strain: "Artifcial ice is made in
cans and frozen from all sides. The ac-
ton of the frost concentrates the i'm
purities in the center Of the cake. and in
many cases makes that portion Of the
cake worthless. Most of the impurities
are forced out Of the cake altogether.

Automatic Flagman for Trains.

With a view to preventing accidents at
level crossings and collisions in the neigh
borhood of railway stations, very in
genious mechanism has recently been
tried in France. 1t consists essentially
of huge hook or catch. made Of iron,
which is connected with a lever at the
station by means Of a wire, through
which a current of electricity passes
When it is lying in it's place the train
passes over quite easily, but as soon as
it is raised it catches lever which is
attached to the engine. The lever thus
caught causes an air valve on the engine
to open automatically and applies the
brakes at once so that the whole train is
brought to standstill within a very
short distance. In foggy weather the
use Of such an apparatus cannot be over
estimated, as it is calculated to prevent
a train running into another which hap.

UNIQUE RAILWAY IN SAXONY
Suspended from Iron Piers it Runs to
the Top of Mountain.

Consul-General Charles L. Cole of
Dresden writes that the suspension rail
way at LoschWitz, SaxOny, was opened
to traffic on May and is the first noun
tain railway Of it's kind for the con-
venience of passengers in the world. 1t
runs from LoschwitZ, a village on the
banks of the River Elbe. about five miles
witt heights, which command most
beautiful view Of the Saxon capital. The
| railway is 800 feet long, with a gradient
of ~ per cent, and is constructed accord
ing to the "Langen" system. Thirty
three iron piers of different height,
weighing about 300 tons, the highest
being 1872 feet, carry the rails on which
the cars are hung.
Each car holds fifty passengers, and
weighs, when occupied, 1913 tons. Their
shape and construction differs entirely
from all other railway cars, and ever
from those used by the Barmen- Elher-
field suspension railway. A steel cable
IL inches in diameter connects the two
| trains and locks them firmly together
1t is operated by two powerful machines
Of 80 horsepower each, stationed at the
top terminus of the road. The cable has
! strength Of f1exure of 2O9, 437 pounds
Particular attention and care has been
given to devices to insure the safety of
the passengers and to regulate the run
| ming Of the cars.
Each car is provided with three brakes
system Butcher urer-two of which
| work automatically at the least slacken-
ing of the tension of the cable and stop
the car. The third brake can be operated
by hand from the platform Of the car.
From hand attached to the disk upon
which the cable is rolled the engineer
can always determine the exact position
of the cars on the road, and an automatic
bell warns him if the train is running too
fast.
The greatest safety consists in an auto
matte brake, both at the lower and the
top station, which is put into action by
| the arriving car and stops it, no matter
how careless the engineer NAV be.

BEST FOODS TO EAT.
Physicians Criticized for Putting So

Physicians Criticized for Putting So
Many Restrictions on Patients.
OF all the advice which the physician
has to give his patient, in which cases
the most valuable is his advice as to diet.
Instances not infrequently occur, how

fame, was wont to put it, broadly con-

one or more Of the most healthful of
foods.
Sweeping congratulations as to the
harmfulness of widely-used foods and
beverages, such as wheat flour, milk and
coffee, are too often made by physicians,
and as a result there have arisen num-
staples with substitutes more or less in
ferior to the article condemned. and in
| many cases actually harmful through ac-
tive ingredients, or from the omission of
| valuable constituents found in the nat
ural product.
The time is nigh when the fad for sub
stitqtes and notifications of natural
physician will be largely confined to the
securing. of purity and conformity to
standard. The harmfulness of the great
universal foodstuffs lies rather in the
methods of use than in constitution.
Notwithstanding the astounding in
crease in the consumption of wheat

W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Rear Adj
miral Bowles, Chief Constructor, has
taken measures which will result in the
destruction of many documents bearing
upon the history of the sailing navy OF
the United States.
For eighty years plans OF old vessels,
reports and specifications, lists of con-
struction stores and papers descriptive of
every foot of live oak cut on Government
reservations for men-of-war have accu-
mulated in the Construction Department
and have filled up all the room available.
The needs of the modern navy are such
that it is imperative that space shall be
provided for reports and other documents
relating thereto. Rear Admiral BoWies
has therefore directed the transfer to the
navy yard of something like 5000 plans
which will be stored in a hreproor vault
at that point.
Reports and documents relating to mat
tiers which can never arise again will be
put aside for destruction. Before they
can be disposed of 1t will be necessary
under the law for Congress to appoint
committee of Senators and Representa-
tives to examine them.
