OUR UNIVERSITY.
Cardinal Gibbons Instructs Bishops to
Appeal for Support.

The cardinal archbishop of Balti-
more has sent to all the other bishops
OF the United States Il letter concern
ing the collection to be taken up on
Sunday, November 20, for the Cath
Ollie university at Washington, D. c.,
from which these extracts are printed:
Il would hesitate to address you
this appeal in behalf of the Catholic
university of America were it not that
L have been expressly requested to do
so by several members of the Ameri-
can hierarchy. I trust that in COM
plying with this suggestion 1 am not
insisting too far on subject which
has already been brought to your at
tention: by the recent letter of our
holy father, in which he appointed the
first Sunday of advent as the day on
which the annual collection for the
university was to be taken up in, all
the churches Of each diocese in this
country. The reigning pom
tiff, no less than his illustrious prede-
cessor, realizes keenly the. necessity
of SO Strengthening our system of
Catholic education that the generosity
of our people and the devotion of our
clergy, in maintaining elementary and
secondary schools, may reach it's. fit
ting contamination in the work of the
university. 1t is plain that the sacri-
fees made in so many ways for the
education Of Catholic youth should
not have as their final result the send
ing of those same young men, at the
most criticali period Of their intellec-
tual and moral formation, to institu-
tons placed: beyond Catholic control.
On the other hand, if our schools and
colleges are to serve successfully the
purposes for which they have been
founded it; is necessary that their
teachers be fully as well prepared as
the teachers in other institutions Of
like grade, andi this, preparation should
be received under the salutary influ-
ence, which only well-equipped Cath
Ole university cam exert. =
This work is of such a nature that it
must progress: it cannot safely be al
lowed! to remain stationary. The uni:
versity has. plant and; endowments
amounting in, all to about $2OOO.OOO;
contributed. by the generosity of our
clergy and laity. 1t is now necessary
that we make good what has already
been done,. by adding such endow-
ments as will complete the faculties,
meet extraordinary expenses and
place the institution on self-sustain-
ing basis. = =: Flow much good
our" university may do in the future,
when it is thoroughly equipped for it's
work.. we may infer from the good
which it has already done in the short
period Of fifteen years, despite ad.
verse. circumstances, and it's unfinish-
ed condition. In all earnest
ness, therefore,, as chancellor of our
university, make this appeal to you,
and through you to our clergy and
people, in order that this first recon-
mendation Of our holy father, Plus X,
may meet with such a generous re-
Spouse as; to prove publicly our loyalty
to the Vicar Of Christ, who has asked
us to make united effort on behalf
Of a work which is identical with the
cause Of the Catholic religion in the
United States, and promises so, much

WHY DO PLANTS
HAVE THORNS =?
From an Article by Ferdinand
Faiieau, in La Science IlluStree,
PariS--COndenSej and Translated
For Public Opinion.

The influence OF the environment is
very great in the formation OF thorns
SO great, I'm fact, that we frequently
find that a plant in one place has
thorns and few miles away is devoid
of them. Observation and experiment
are in agreement in showing that three
causes are in operation here, namely.
impoverished soil dryness OF the at
moSphere, and intensity OF light, each
o. which proyokes or accentuates the
condition under discussion. In this
connection ii is interesting 10 state
that cultivation dlminishes the mum
bcr of spineS and in many instances
makes them disappear after several
generations.
NJ Lhotclicr has shown 10y n long
series of experiments that thorny
