For ages society has fiOundered

era when happiness is to become

when JOY should move like an ad-
vancing flood over the earth. And
if that Golden Age has not vet
come, we can only say that if all
are not happy all may be happy.
Some people speak of the good
old times. They ought rather to
say the had old times and the

DANGER IN ELECTRICITY

DANGER IN ELECTRICITY a
Warning Against the Peril of Fire
I'm Case of Accidents on an EIec-
trie Railway.
The recent accident in the Park Ave
nue. tunnel aroused a loud public demand
for the abolition OF steam traction in sim
liar subways- In the current issue OF the
Railroad Gazette" a writer. who appar-
emily speaks with expert authority. points
out that a hasty change from steam to
electricity. without weH-considered pre-
cautions against the possibility Of new
dangers. might prove TO be a leap from
the frying pan into the FIRE
II the tunnel had been worked by
electricity" he says. and IL the collision
had taken place through the paralysis
OF the faculties and energies Of the en-
gineman, the result would PROBABLY have
been considerably worse than IL actually
was
1T is likely that the wreck would have
been burned at once by 4 short circuit OF
the electric current. In such case few Of
the wounded would have escaped. The
fact has been overlooked during the ex-
element following this accident that an
electric train was burned on December
g last killing seven people. L has also
been forgotten that electric cars have
been repeatedly burned to the trucks
within the last two or three years We
shall not particularize now because we
do not wish to be unnecessarily disagree
able
From all this IL does not follow that Il
IS desirable that people should cease 10
use electricity for traction; on the con
trary. there is not the slightest prOba-
bility that there viii be any interruption
Of the extension Of this use of electricity.
But what we want particularly 20 make
folk think about now is the Importance
OF taking every possible precauti0n
against the burning Of electric trains and
cars. We can conceive nothing more
horrible than a train on FIRE in O tunnel:
but a train on FIRE on an elevated rail-
road would be almost as bad"

LEO XIII AT NINETY-TWO-The
Marvellous intellectual Activity OF
the Nonagenarian PontiH.
It was reported the other day that the
aged Pontin had failed rapidly in recent
months and that the end was not far dis
tent- It may be doubted whether the re-
port has any basis beyond the fact that
all men must die. and that Leo XIII is
almost ninety-two years old Certainly
there has been no apparent abatement Of
the Intellectual activity Of the recluse
Of the Vatican
As the Outlook" points out. during the
past month the Pope has made three
announcements which deserve chronic
ling. His Christmas address 10 the Car
dinaIs was timely one. He condemned
the excessive liberty Of thought iaduIged
in at the present time. He sharply criJi-
cised socialism, agitation Tor divorce, and
hostility among different sections Of the
church Finally. he urged the union o.
all Christian churches.
AT the beginning OF the year the Pope
defined the scope OF the enquiry OF a com
mission on the subject Of -he Bible. This
commission is % consider all questions
connected with Biblical studies, to ascer-
tain the limits Of allowable freedom, and
definitely TO point out those things which
ought 20 he rejected and those which
oUght to be retained IN the interests Of
orthodoxy. Cardinal Parocchf is president
OF the commission. and among the con-
sultors chosen from various countries we
note the hCnOred name OF DIP. Garrigan, Of
the American Catholic University at
Washington.
The week before last Leo XIII pub
hshed new letter TO the French bishops
and clergy, again exhOrting them in the
spirit Of his already famous words. to go
to the people, in other words. TO be
faithful TO the democracy as eXemplifed
by the present French Republic. No quail
ity marks the high-principled reign o. the
present Pope more than does his insis-
tence on the loyal support OF the civil
government by the church, and his con-
demn2tion % its alliance with any par
ticular partS or faction He is the first
