Paris. Tuesday.-The Catholic cler gy has really very good reasons to hate our present Government Not only are they put to all kinds of in- convenienees by the Government it. self, but the contempt with which they are openly treated by the civil author ities affects the people and robs them absolutely of all their influence One can not help but admire the wonderful patience with which they submit to all sorts of indignities.
 A recent incident reported from Perigonieux shows how harmful is the effect of the governments policy to- ward the church. The prefect of the city, acting on instructions from Par is. had forbidden Jesuit priest to de- liver sermon in the cathedral i1 honor of Joan of Arc. as disturbances were feared.

De- spite the denial of the story, only a short time ago by the Review, and coming from the Managing Director of the road himself. Mr. Walter Douglas, some Fl Paso papers insist on dispos. ing of the property regardless. To again deny or affirm the story in the absence of Mir. Walter Douglas, tel egram was sent to MT. H. J.

STRIKERS BLOW UP STREET CAR
Five Hurt IN Houston, Te1as-This
the Fifth Outrage.

New Orleans, La. Another street
car has been blown up at Houston,
Texas, by dynamite. This is the fifth
and most serious since the strike OF
the street car operatives began. The
explosion occurred at midnight.
The force of the explosion was chiefly
felt on the rear of the car, which was
crowded with passengers, five of whom
we're injured by the flying glass and
splinters.
Among the injured is Mrs. G. B.
Quailes. who was returning home from
an entertainment with her husband.
The explosion seemed to occur directly
Under the seat upon which she was sit
tine.
A. J. Smith. another passenger, was
badly cut about the head and inter-
aally injured. In the previous eXplo-
sions the wounds inflicted were in all
except one instance slight. and the dy-
namiters this time seem to have mis-
calculated the quantity OF dynamite
they used.
Two heavy charges OF dynamite
we're found on the car tracks, where
they had been put during the night,
but had failed to explode. The citi-
zens' alliance movement which has
oeen fighting the strike is very strong.
It is proposed to organize a law and or
Ter league as an adjunct of the al
lance to deal with the dynamiters.

Right to Build Dovecor in Scotland

D - IL
1t is not universally known that the
right Of erecting a dovecot was the
privilege only to be enjoyed in England
by the lords of the manor, and the law
was vigorously enforced on this point.
But in Scotland, according to a statute
still held in observance, nobody has a
right to build a cot in either town or
country unless he is the owner of land
yielding about 900 imperial bushels Of
produce per annum, and this property
must be situated within at least two
miles Of the dovecot. or pigeon house.
A further enactment also states that
on the above-named conditions only
one cot shall be built.
A distinguished authority on husban-
dry estimated that in 1928 there were
10000 dovecots in England, and that
allowing 500 pairs 10 each house the
damage wrought by birds in devouring
corn would work out at no less than
100000 bushels. that is, an allow.
ance Of four bushels yearly to each
pair. Any one who destroyed a cot
was guilty of theft and is so held at
the present time in Scotland (the act
was passed in 1870, while a third Of
fence Of dovecot breaking was capt.

there were $3.50. 296 Roumanians, 262.-

strong Jewish emigration from Hou-

GUNS IN THE WAR OF 1912;
Two Glasses OF Naval Cannon-AmericaL
and British Preferences.

Two Glasses OF Naval Cannon-AmericaL
and British Pr~efercnces.
There were in those days two prin'
cipal classes Of naval cannon long
guns, often simply called gums" and
~carronades, says a writer on the wal
Of 1912 in Scribner's. The guns had
long range, with light weight of shot
fred; the carronades had short range
and heavy shot. Now in long guns
the Americans were four times as
| strong as the British, while in carron-
AIDES the British were twice as strong
a.; the Americans. 1t follows that
the American commodore should prefer
long range to begin with, whereas the
British would be careful not to ap.
proach within long range, unless with
such a breeze as would carry him
rapidly down to where his c%arronades
would come into play.
There was another very decisive rea-
son why such short range favored the
British against the Americans. The
schooners of the latter not being built
for war, carried their guns on a deck
unprotected by bulwarkS. The men, be-
ing exposed from the feet up, could
be swept away by canister, which Is
a quantity of small iron balls packed
in a CASE and fired from a cannon.
When discharged these separate and
spread like buckshot, striking many in
a group. They can MAIN or kill a man,
but their range is short and penetra-
tive power small. A bulwarked YES
sci was, so to say, armored against
canister; for it makes no difference
whether the protection is six inches Of
wood or ten of iron, provided it keeps
out the projectile. The American
schoonerS were in this respect wholly
vulnerable.
Over-insistence upon details Of adj
vantage or disadvantage is often wear
isome. and may be pushed to petit
Jogging. but these quoted are general
and fundamental. To mention them
is not to chatter over details, but to
state principles. There is n other

Of the great long-gun superiority Of
the Americans considerably more than
one-half was in the unprotected schoon-
