the Gallinas park such success. He

of the efforts of the directors OF the

the string of Albuquerque horses for
a three days meet during the encamp-
ment, and Of the thousands OF dol
lars that would be set In circulation
thereby. Not a dollar was asked from
the city to ensure this attraction. Also

An Invention TO Aid in PRAYER.

New Haven Palladium: Thomas Sault
enjoys the unique distinction of having Sc
cured a patent or an article to be en-
ployed by worshippers.
The invention Is described in the letters
patent as THE Chaplet and Shrine of the
Holy Rosary"
The chaplet and shrine of the holy
rosary consists of a case, in which is a set
of rollers, on which Is rolled a web which
may be rolled or unrolled. Upon the face
of the web is a series of pictures appro-
pirate to the prayers of which the several
beads on the rosary are reminders.
The case is so arranged that a light can
be set behind the picture. Arrangements
for burning a pair of candles are provided
I'm front of the shrine.
When the candles are lighted the effect
Is very beautiful. Those desiring to use
Mr.. Sault's invention kneel In front of the
shrine. When the appropriate prayer Is
uttered one Of the rollers is turned by
means Of a projecting knob and a picture
is revealed. This operation is continued
until the entire rosary has been gone
through. MIR. Gay is making extensive
arrangements to handle the invention.

Why It Was Used as a Symbol by the
Early Christian Church,

Larry SUTlStIdT SnuTCns
Philadelphia Public Ledger: The
symbols upon early Christian monu-
ments, OF which so many have beer
discovered this last century, are cur
ious and interesting. One OF the most
frequent is hat of the fish. The figure
of the fish is used, and also the Greek
word for fish. says DIR. A. w. Patten,
who has looked into the subject. Ram
say, in his excavations in Asia Minor,
HAS found some very important in
scrlptions in which the fish signs ere
frequent.
But why was 1t that the early Chris
tians used this sign? The reason will
appear when we remember that they
found in the letters of the Greek word
for fish an a~crostic on the name of the
Savior. The word is "ichthus." Each
letter of the word in the original Greek
begins one of the words in the follow
ing phrase: Jesus ChIsst, Son of God,
the Savior"
So the word "ichthus," came to
stand for a Christian, and 1t was used
as n mark Of Christianity. 1t was not
only sculptured On burial monuments,
but came to be used on various uten-
sils. A great many terra Gotta lamps
have been found, especially at Spalato,
on which Is found the impress of the
fish. Many Of these "ichthus" lamps
are found also At Rome. The word
fish" came to be used also to describe
a Christian, and to call a man a fish
was equivalent to calling him a Chris
tan.
In one Of the old Christian frescoes,
indicating a baptism, a man Is repre-
scented as pulling a fish out of the
water. Ramsay tells US hat it was
customary In Asia Minor in the second
century for the Christian to use this
symbolic language. 1t was hardly safe
then, for them to speak openly of their
faith in Christ. They were accustomed
to wear rings with the fish sign as a
signet, much as We wear symbolic
badges today. One day two men met,
neither aware of the faith of the other.
One, without saying a word, traced
with his stick the figure of a fish in the
sand. The other quickly burst out in
assertion of his Christian faith, for the
fish symbol had declared the others
allegiance to Christ.
