In every Catholic church all over
the world a "paschal," or Easter
candle" made of purest wax, is
blessed on Holy Saturday, the day be-
fore Easter, by a deacon, who fixes
at it's base five grains of incense ia
memory of the five wounds of Jesus
and the precious spices wherewith he
was Amounted in the tomb.
From Easter until Whitsunday the
paschal canule burns on the gospel
side of lne altar during Mass and
Vespers, as a symbol that Christ,
the light of the world, has risen from
the grave.
Anciently the torch was a huge
affair. One used at Canterbury, Eng.
land, in 1857, weighed three hundred
pounds. Another, at Norwich, was so
high that it was lighted by means of
an orifice in the roof of the choir.

Terrific Strain Upon the Workmen in
the Underground Air Chambers
1t Is the strain within the bowels o;
the working chamber, unnOticed gen
orally while there; the change on
coming into the outer air that the sand
hog (the workman breads. Under
an air pressure the blood is forced
away from the extremities. It is
driven from the exterior into the cen
trail organs, especially toward the
brain and the spinal cord.
The man, exhausted by toll under
these conditions, climbs a long ladder.
He is in the airlock again, with the
upper door alone closed. The lock
tender jerks up the bottom door.
With a twist of the valve he hustles
the compressed air out. The ordinary
atmosphere rushes in. The upper
door is thrown up, and Gods sun and
air come to the prisoner. The reac-
ton is too severe. The blood, re-
leased by the sudden vanishing of 80,
40, so pounds of air pressure on each
square inch of the body, refuses to
act normally. Heart and lungs weak

never sure that the next trip may not
be his last.
The practical limit below ground is
so pounds of air pressure. The men
that can work in that atmosphere are
masters of their trade. Yet now and
then a man is met with who has the
strength to go farther.-Cromwell

TO his opinion. If a difference exists be-

1t Is a very important advance in the matter OF
handling tuberculosis. fo- the reason tha, II has
been supposed generally that the human family
could acquire the disease from cattle. II there
is e difference, such Koch believes. there
would be no danger from using milk and meat
II the theory is correct. the process Of the
disease is essentially the same in man and cat

sicians do not think there is much in the theory
of the transmission Of tuberculosis through the
food supply. but consider the great danger from
the sputum. Legislation has done much to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease in cattle. and IT
was done mainly to save the herds 1t was
matter of dollars ard cents. The same can be
done for human beings. but few experiments
