Gently given by Professor Denny to his
students at Firth college. Sheffield.
Among the most ancient animals still in
habiting our planet is the so-called mud
fish of Africa This creature is worthy OF
our respect, if only in consideration of its
antiquity. which dates far back in the
early ages of the world The most strik
ing feature of the mud fish is the possess
sion of lungs as well as gil!s. On the
approach of the dry season. in its natural
haunts in Central Africa. it hollows a
chamber in the mud and enters upoU a
rest extending over many months during
which time it is without access to water,
and breathes only air.
While in the mud these creatures may
be dug up and survive even after jour
ney across the world in this dry state
Professor Denny received one of these
mud blocks not long ago. In the pres ence
of the students the hard block was placed
in warm water and after being thus ex-
posed for nearly two hours the fish that
went to sleep in tropical Africa many
months before. awoke and came forth
from its temporary sepulchre to find itself
in bath of tap-water in the biological
laboratory of Firth college.

provision for their salary. which the
state department hopes Will be done

1t is regarded as very desirable that

Organization of Mems Sodality at
Logan Avenue Chapel.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE. }

ASpecldl 0OITeSROIlGence.l
On Sunday evening at Logan Avenue
chapel. Rev Cornelius O'Farrell made
a vigorous appeal TO the young men of
the cathedral parish to bring them to-
gether for the purpose of organizing a
young mems sodality. He did not over
look the fact that there are numerous
societies for Catholic young men al
ready in existence, but he remarked
that these were beyond the reach of
many boys, for various reasons, and
that the new organization would be
open to them all. In some, ne said, the
fees or monthly dues were too large,
and many were unable to pay; and,
furthermore, he mentioned that al
though these associations have in them
religious element they dire distinctly
social The new society will have no
social features, and its prime object
Will be TO draw young men together,
no matter TO what class, socially, they
might belong. or what their means may
be. Those of slender income will be
given quite as hearty a welcome as
the affluent young man, and the soci-
ETY. viii tend TO establish q public spirit
among them. This will make them
pround TO be known as Catholics.
1t is Father O'Farrell's hope that the
association will become of such an in
teresting character that 1t Will keep
young men away from bad company
where the Holy Name is constantly
profaned and where the language is
highly immoral and blasphemous. The
priest requested that each family in
the cathedral parish will send a book
Or'the purpose of building up library.
They are to be of a sensible and in
teresting character and the contribu-
tors will use their own discretion in
making a choice. This will form the
nucleus of a library for the new asso-
citation, which it is hoped VIII in time
become one of the most extensive of
any of the sOdalities in the city.
If Father O'Farrell is successful in
his undertaking the people of the ca
thedral parish will enjoy most edlfy-
ing sight once a month when this body
of young men assemblies TO receive their
Holy Communion. All of the appli-
cants for membership are manifesting
d great interest in the proposed or
ganization, and il is expected that more
than fifty will be received at the in
ftial regular meeting, which take place
on Thursday evening, Jan. q. Bishop
y. c. Matz, who is delighted with the
prospects for new sodality, has Of
fered the use of the parish hall at
Eighteenth and Champa streets for the
regular meetings.
