From the Tablet
Both young and old. the holy father said
at Christmas, were wanted in the Chris
tian movement for the upraising Of the
people; and young and old must work hand
in hand These frequent exhortations Of
the pope to union among Catholics sug-
gest the existence of causes Of dissension.
There are Catholics of the old school, fond
Of quiet life, who refuse to take note Ct
the changed conditions Of the times; on
the other hand, there are ardent young
spirits who forget that there has been a
past at all. and who seek to impress their
own ideas whole and entire. as in a new
creation, on the Italy Of today. To these
especially the holy father addresses q
former instruction on the social movement.
in which he urges that it must be in con-
tinuity with the past, must draw it's in
spiration from religion. and its direction
from the pastors Of the church. There
have been some few who were ready to
leave the Roman question and the rights
Of the holy see In the background in their
eagerness to prove the democratic char
acter of the Catholic movement. The Ro-
man question does undoubtedly block the
way Of the italian government, whose path
will never be smooth until it has solved
it to the satisfaction Of the pope.

NORFOLK. Va. January 3f.-A heap Of
smoking ruins Is all that this morning re-
Hea!ns of the once magnificent Atlantic
Hotel Of Norfolk and OF the great Columbia
office building adjoining, and Of the Abbe-
marie flats and block OF stores The loss
Will be at least half a million dollars. but
1t Is believed that 1t Is fully covered by In
surance.
The Columbia Office building, six stories
high. built by Mr.. Davis Lowenberg in 1882
and now owned by him, burst into flames
at 1:oO o'clock this morning. Over thou
SAND gallons of whisky exploded with ter
rifle force, tearing out the front of the
great building
The fremen were driven back by the ex-
plosion, and before the steamers could get
a stream on the fire the entire building was
in flames.
Hardly fifteen minutes later the seventy
five-foot-high northern wall fell, smashing
like house of cards the home of the Vir-
ginia Club. adjoining it on the north. From
the first 1t was evident that the immense
Atlantic Hotel south of the office building
and across an intervening lane was
doomed.
Hotel Guests Notified.
The proprietor Of the Atlantic. J. Hull
Davidson. personally went from room to
room. and, aided by his staff, aroused every
guest in the buil6ng. To this heroic dill
gence is due the fact that so far as now
known no life was lost, although perhaps
300 people were asleep in the hotel when
the alarm was sounded. Half-dressed men
and women refugees from the flames ell
bowed their way through the streets, carry
ing such small belongings as they were able
to save in their flight.
1t began to look as though the important
business district were doomed. The five
story Albemarle apartment house, opposite
the Virginia Club, was on fire, and the en-
tire block from Plum street to Main street,
facing the Atlantic, promised to share its
fate. Within an hour this block was de-
stroyed, but as the fire laid hold Of Watt,
Rettow & Clays big department dry goods
store, the wind veered to the northeast and
Watts and Main street were saved Live
Goals rained on the Merchants and Miners
and Bay Line warehouse piers, the Talbot,
Dodson & Grandys wholesale notions build
ings, driving the Western Union operators
from the Office in the Dodson building. All
these were threatened, but all were saved.

A Photographic Violin.
From the London Mail.


The application Of the principle of the
phonograph to the violin Is the latest mu-
sical curiosity. The result Is the Stron
violin, which is claimed to be the only SCI
entific violin ever made. The inventor, Mr..
Stroh, has done away with the body OF
the violin, and for it has substituted a
fiat, circular, diaphragm, or sound box, i've
or six inches in diameter. which is fastened
to the side of a wooden tube, to which The
strings are affixed in the usual way. The
neck is unaltered.
The bridge Of the "Stroh" osciIIates al
most imperceptibly as the bow is drawn
across the strings, and the oscillation is
conveyed to the diaphragm by small PIN
1t is the oscillation of the air within the
diaphragm that produces the sound, which
is given out by an aluminium trumpet The
instrument produces the tones of an ordi-
nary violin, but it is claimed that the tones
are richer.
