The "Elow" of Rocks.

A hydraulic machine. capable OF
producing a pressure of 120 tons to
The square inch, has recently been set
up at the McGill university in Mon
treal. for the purpose of investigating
The so-called flow of rocks For it
is fact that rock can flow, and it
is of Importance to science to know
how and why. Under such a pressure
as this machine can exert, marble,
limestone, granite and other solid
rocks exhibit this queer phenomenon,
:hough the rate Of motion is very
slow, of course. The Carnegie insti-
:ute has just made grant of $4,000
:or the purpose of this investigation.

20 which the information thus OBJ.
sained will be applied.

Favorite Japanese Card Game.

A favorite card game of the Japa-
nese is played as follows: One hun
red well-known proverbs are select
ID each divided into two parts, and
Zach part printed on a separate card.
The host of the evening has the nun
dred first halves, which he reads
aloud, one by one; the hundred Sec
Dnd halves are dealt to the other
layers, who place their hands face
upward on the "tatami," or thick mat
pf rice straw, on which they sit. AS
The first half of any proverb is read,
:he holder of the second half throws
It out, or if he sees it unnoticed
among his neighbours cards, seizes it
and gives him one of his own. The
"layer who is first "out" wins. 1t
is very simple game. but it affords
~reat entertainment to the players;
for the quick-sighted and keen-witted
are constantly seiZing the cards of
heir duller and slower neighbors, and
This leads TO much laughter and many
soOd-natured sarcasms.

Catholic Ceremonies at BeIpre.

|
Belpre, June 21.-Sunday, June 10,
the Catholic church in Belpre was the
scene of unusual solemnity. A class
of twelve children received their first
holy communion. During the pre-
vious week they had been under the
instruction of Rev. FRANK Connors,
and the precision with which the class
moved through the ceremony showed
the labor was not in vain. At an
early hour the little church was pack
ed to overlooking. Vehicles of every
description poured in from the sur
rounding country. They were mud
covered and the occupants clothes
evidenced long drives and terrific
rain, but their hearts were conferred in
the children and they braved every
difficulty to witness the splendid COM
munion ceremony. At 1870 a. m. the
communicates, preceded by the priest
and acolytes, moved in solemn pro-
cessiOn up the main aisle of the
church. The girls were clad in white,
and their flowing wells and elegant
wreaths bespoke the purity and inno-
cense of youthful hearts. The first
step in the ceremony was the renewal
of the baptismal vows. The Catholic
church practises infant baptism. Spon--
sors for the infant promise to re-
nounce Satan with all his works and
pomps. This promise is again made
by the child itself in first communion.
The acts of Faith, Hope and Charity
and the Apostles Greed were recited
aloud and the regular Sunday service
began. The sermon was from Mat
thew 2:2S, "Come unto me all you
that labor and l will refresh YOU"
Many non-Catholics were present and
were loud in their praise of the SER
mon. There is nothing more sublime
than the Catholic ritual, where condi-
tions permit its fulfillment, and even
Belpre, with its cramped church build
ing, an absence of music and all that
would tend to make a cathedral gor-
geous, was an evidence of this truth.
The communicates were six boys and
six girls, Henry Wahlmeier, Frank
Biernacki, John Breitenbach, Peter
Luntz, William Luntz, John Meier,
Anna Breitenbach, Mary Biernacki,
Mary Wahlmeier, Catherine Meier,
Catherine Carney, Otilda Korte.
Some time ago the Rev. Doctor !
POmpeney held course of lectures |
in the school house at Belpre. The !
people were enthusiastic and there is |
promise of large new church in the |
near future. The site is in view and |
when arrangements are made and the
church completed it will be a credit to
the town and the surrounding coun-
try. The Ri. Rev. J. J. Hennessey.
of Wichita. will confer confirmation
at an early date.

and oil lamps are a thing OF the

Last Friday evening the electric
lights were turned on in the town
for the first time, and although the
street lamps on the business street
were the only ones ready for use
and only portion of the interior
lighting was in working condition.
the town presented such an altered
appearance that its oldest residents
were almost compelled to look
twice before they recognized it as
the place where they had lived for
years.
Since the turning on OF the lights

and store lights that were not
burning the first night, have been
